Mellow, but still powerful and majestic! Steve and Chris doing their usual musical dance of perfection, and newcomer to the band Patrick shining here like the brightest star! Thanks for watching! 🥰
An underrated and often overlooked Yes song, but to me one of their best. Wonderful to listen on headphones in the dark. You just get lost. Thanks, Brandon.
Happy weekend David! Glad you love this song. You're welcome and thanks for another visit 😊
Album espetacular,tenho o mini lp japones saudo desde brasil
That’s exactly how I spent hours of my teenage years in the 70’s. Bliss
YES!!! The greatest band there ever was or will ever be!🤩
So happy to see what a huge fan you are of Yes. I mean their catalog is so immense, in more ways than 1! Thanks for tuning in..😊
@@retroreactions.... You've still got a lot to hear yet Brandon. Many more masterpieces!🤩
@@TigerMtnKing Too many to count❗️❗️❗️👍😎
Would you say their 80s and 90s eras produced some masterpieces?
@@retroreactions.... No doubt Brandon, starting with 'Drama' from 1980. Every song on that album is a masterpiece! Then you've got some great songs from '90125' (1983) and 'Big Generator' (1987). 'Keys to Ascension 1 and 2 from 1996 and '97. 'The Ladder', 'Magnification' and 'Fly From Here' beginning the new century... Different lineups in the band created different masterpieces of course but the resilience of this band is just one of the things that make them the greatest ever!🤩
This song is very personal to me. An old friend of mine was killed by a biker gang dude who, point blank, blew out his brains. He was a confused young man, with a gentle heart and demeanor, which I think he may have been trying to harden by suddenly hanging with a rough crew.
A year before all that, he and i were riding around in my Abbey Road white Beetle, stoned, and listening to this song, when we picked up a hitcher and dropped him in the next town, as the song ended, and I seemed to be swept away into a weird hypnotic trance from the song. To be over. And he would sadly be over, very soon indeed. Too soon.
Spiritual song about the river of creation we drift down after having shed this mortal coil.
Hello my friend. Thanks for sharing such a personal story. Again proves how poignant and meaningful just 1 song can be.... 💙
@@MisterWondrous Deep!😎
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth ✨️🎶✨️
Hello Les! Always great to see you here on Yes Fridays! Enjoy the weekend...
@@retroreactions.... 👍😎
@@lesblatnyak5947 Hey 36!👑👍⭐️😎
Best band, ever. Period.
Hello and thanks so much for watching Kenneth!
@@retroreactions.... ...great channel. Well done.
YES❣️❣️❣️ The greatest band on this or any other planet❗️❗️❗️🪐🪐🪐🛸🛸🛸⭐️⭐️⭐️🚀🚀🚀👍😎
JEFF! And now that you mention it, the likelihood of aliens listening to YES on a regular basis seems fairly high... 😏
Wow, fifty years later, still tripping ✨️👑✨️
No one can even come close!🤩
@@retroreactions.... 🪐🛸🚀⭐️👍😎
@@lesblatnyak5947 Great album 36!👍😎
"After all your soul will still surrender, and after all don't doubt your part be ready to be loved". Great analysis Brandon. Love this song.
Top quality review of a top quality song by such a top quality channel. All the best. Dave✅✅
👍😎
Thank you Dave. You're always very kind. Have a great night and weekend!
Genius beauty. Yes never fails to be brilliant.
Well said! Nice to see you Pommie, hope you have a beautiful weekend!!
I have this album hanging on my wall. I look a it every day. I love Rick Wakeman. But there is really something special about Patrick's playing. I love having the choice. Rick or Patrick?? And Steve and Chris? What can you say about them, that hasn't been said all ready.. Superb Musicians. All of them. Alan White and Bill Bruford. Top tier quality. Timeless and classic.
Can't blame you....I think the album artwork is gorgeous! I know now that Patrick was only onboard for this 1 album, but boy did he leave his mark! Just like Genesis, every member is on top tier and at full musical strength..have a wonderful weekend❣
Thank you. I want you to have a wonderful weekend too. 😃💙🎵🎶🎶
@@retroreactions....I’ve loved Parrick’s keyboards since the ‘Story of I’ album. Saw him live in the 80’s when he was with the Moody Blues’. The great thing about his work on this album is that he injects his own sometimes Jazzy style into the mix without taking away from the core Yes sound. His album ‘Out in the Sun’ is also a favourite of mine. Thanks for another great reaction. Best wishes from England
@@Young_Jim PM was sacked because he became famous overnight and it went to his head and thought he could take over and do what he wanted...as Jon said "he couldnt"
It has been....a beautiful family gathering earlier today. Always nice to see family!
Great song that gives a perfect balance to this WONDERFUL album wich is in my top 3 Yes albums along Close to... and Fragile
Ah nice! Always a great time with Yes...
@@retroreactions.... If one day you want to know/listen a Yes 80's masterpiece, go ahead with "Shoot High Aim Low" from 1987 Big Generator album.
Oh, that one will be coming.....😊
@@retroreactions....Wow, Brandon. I will have to see what of that era you have done. You love 80s music, so 90125 and Big Generator are totally up (and will occupy) your alley. Shoot High Aim Low is exceptional - Yes and then-new-boy Trevor Rabin were another perfect fit 😊
Off hand I remember reacting to and loving Machine Messiah, Hearts and of course the amazing Owner of a Lonely Heart, which I've loved since it was first released!
So lush. Yes really sound their fullest on this album.
Lush a great adjective. So much to get lost in here! Thanks for watching 🙂
@@retroreactions....If you care about the meaning of the lyrics with the feeling of the music, then you will eventually arrive at that Relayer is not only a concept album, but arguably the finest concept album ever created. And only Yes could create it only immediately after the finest music ever written or recorded in all music history, Tales From Topographic Oceans.
Love this Album.
One of The first l ever bought.
Great Track.
Gates Of Delirium, is Brilliant 👏 👌
Keep Rocking 👍
Ronnie SCOTLAND 😊
Great! Yes, I remember absolutely loving Gates of Delirium. I'm assuming Sound Chaser is just as good. Thanks for watching and being first my friend! 🥇
@@retroreactions....You are most certainly correct. The first two verses of Sound Chaser is a love song about The Relayer. Steve pours his passionate heart out like no other guitarist before the 3rd verse, which is a love song to The Relayer. And To Be Over is a fitting conclusion, urging us listeners to "Don't doubt your part. Be ready to be loved." Yes indeed! I am ready.
Thanks for the info. I look forward to hitting up Sound Chaser and many more from their amazing catalog...thanks for watching!
I always loved this song from the first time I bought the album, but never fully appreciated the lyrics. When I later found out that it was about how physical death is just the beginning of a whole new journey into the afterlife, I was brought to tears. It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed by any band -- a milestone for Yes, and a fitting end (in my opinion) of their classic period.
SteveHowe. OTT! Only he could get away with this. Bonkers. Brilliant. Better than other yessongs that steal it's limelight... almost as good as TOTC.
Hi! I'm glad this song is a big win for you! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I love this song, as well as the other the other two songs on this album! Easily in my top 5 favorite Yes albums. 💖
Great to know....we agree yet again!! Thank you bud, hope you have an awesome weekend...
@@retroreactions.... 🙌 The weekend is fine, getting a little too warm for me but I'll survive! (when the outside temp gets much over 80 F I do not like it because I don't have air conditioning) I hope you have a great weekend too!
Yea, it's miserable here for me 8 months out of the year. Anything 70 degrees and up is too hot! I need to move to Canada or France haha...
The magic of Yes music is truly timeless, while it is not to everyone's style, it does make you work to become involved with it, and when you do you appreciate it. I think music like is just like falling in love, it takes time, but you realize the pursuit was worth it...
Perhaps the band’s most underrated song…
Hi Scot! Thanks for tuning in. They always thrill and take me to such interesting places...much more to discover 😊
I bought this album the day it came out. I was 14. To Be Over is stunning. I saw them perform this live in 1975 in Milwaukee. WOW. It changed me forever. That whole Relayer tour concert. Great review as always. Timeless.
Hello Jeffrey. I'd have bought the album just for the beautiful artwork! So great that you got the pleasure of seeing them live in this era. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for stopping by 🙂
Magnificent.
I saw this all performed Live on the ‘Relayer Tour’, in 1975.
Wonderful days. 🎶❤️🎶
Must have been EPIC seeing all of them and hearing all of this glorious music live! Have a wonderful week my friend!
@@retroreactions.... Thank you Brandon. You too. 🎶❤️🎶
@@retroreactions.... Yes it was, Brandon. We were lucky enough to have lived through some ‘Epic Musical Decades’.
🎶❤️🎶
Too bad I was just a toddler then LOL....
@@retroreactions.... Never mind, better late than never. 👍🏼 🎶❤️🎶
Be ready to be loved
It keeps growing on you for decades on end. I can love my five top Yes songs as much, but never more than this one. It always brings me on the verge of tears of joy. I´m sure you felt so happy to drift down the river of music and life that Yes brings us with this sublime piece. Cheers.
What a treat tonight! Such an amazing song, from such an amazing album! My favorite track is “The Gates of Delirium”, I remember you having a great reaction to it before. Too bad that this was the only album featuring Patrick, as Rick returned for the Going For The One album. Have a great weekend Brandon!! 😊
Great! Now all that's left is Sound Chaser, which is great no doubt! Yes, a bit surprising to see that Patrick only stayed for 1 album, but boy did he make an impact! Have a wonderful weekend too 🙂
Such a lovely song. Good for weddings OR funerals or birthdays. Lol ty for reaction sir.
Thanks!
💙
Me parece increíble que estevtipo de música llenara estadios hace 50 años. Involución del ser humano
One of my favorites from them, one of about 50.
I cannot blame you in the least for having 50, based on everything I've heard from them so far....😊
Thanks Retro.. cheered me up on a wet day here.
You're welcome and glad to hear... 💙
Great review...I like the 'Totally Lost in the Music' face!😂 First time listening to this, Chris and Steve on top form...and chaotic greatness at times with Steve! YES.. will always💖them...
BRILLIANT GORGEOUS MASTERPIECE
T.S. Eliot said, "Shakespeare and Dante divide the world between them. There is no third."
I feel that way about Yes and ELP.
😊 I know millions absolutely share that point of view, and I fully understand why, after this lengthy Yes journey I've been on since the channel started...
As anyone of us, TS Elliot said his fair share of bullshit 😂
Yes and PF for me. So different and yet both so great.
Don't forget Steve Howe's electric pedal steel slide which is very prominent in this song as it is in the 'Soon' portion of Gates !
My favourite album 🙏
"To Be Over": On a melody composed by STEVE HOWE five or six years before. Sublime... like the whole album! YES, always a journey into the fifth dimension. Thank you, Brandon.
[NB: PATRICK MORAZ has left his mark substantially on the album 'Relayer'. The sound of this album is totally different from that of the previous studio albums as well as the two following ones ('Going For The One' and 'Tormato'). The musical envelope is deeper, denser, heavier. However, the only new member who appears on this album is MORAZ. The documentation (book and making-of video) on the conception and recording of 'Relayer' tells us that MORAZ participated a lot in the orchestration and arrangements of the compositions. To replace WAKEMAN, MORAZ was an undeniable choice. MORAZ's solo on 'To Be Over' is beautiful... even if it is the second version written in a rush in a single night (the recording was to be done the next day) because the first version was no longer suitable since, in the meantime, the other members of the group had chosen to modify the tone of the song.]
Honestly, one of my least-played Yes songs. Strange, as the other two songs on the album are two of my absolute all-time favorites (Gates of Delirium #1 for me, tied with Close to the Edge). Very nice to remember this. Sounds like Steve on the electric sitar at the beginning, as he does on parts of Close to the Edge. I also love Pat’s style and sounds. Overall it’s ❤
Such a great album. I don't know which is better "Close to the Edge" or this one. I think it's a tie.
Except for the synths, you could almost call this...a COUNTRY song(Steve Howe's guitar and sitar work) Yes--Yes almost did country...
RIP Chris Squire
I totally hear it! I shamefully forgot to mention the pedal steel "sliding" section which I loved. A top song moment for sure!
@@retroreactions.... Brandon, you'll hear a lot more country from Steve on the cover tune America by Simon & Garfunkel on the Yesterdays album. It's the only kind of country it can take.
i used to think that tales from topographic oceans and relayer were overblown pompus and boring albums by a once great band- now i think they are pompus and overblown but wonderful
Beautiful track. Sound Chaser next? If you are up for some jazz fusion. Quite the opposite of this track. Controlled chaos. I've heard Moraz came up with the intro to Sound Chaser during his audition.
Unfortunately Patrick was only with the band for this album and for some of the solo works that followed (with Steve and Chris). I much prefer Patrick over Rick. He was the genius behind Awaken before he was unjustly kicked out of the band. Relayer is an epic among masterpieces.
Yes, I just learned that today, but boy did he leave his mark on Relayer! Just found out right now that he was in The Moody Blues for quite a while! He certainly kept amazing company. Thanks so much for stopping by!
@@retroreactions.... He was unceremoniously kicked out of TMB too. That was a real messy affair with lawsuits from both sides. Patrick has always maintained a warm feel to Yes. He would attend Yes fan events. Also on CZcams is one of those events called Yestival 94. There Patrick does this amazing performance on just a piano for the fans - you should check it out.
Yikes! A shame. Seems like a cool guy...certainly full of talent!
No.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Cliff for that gift!!
