These aren’t just kids. This is the spirit and passion of YES being carried from generations and to the end of mankind. You guys are more than awesome. Simply amazing. Please, keep playing.
Hell, their parents were kids when this came out in late '72! Great job! However... you gotta sing at a higher pitch (I think that's right, or is it octave...?) to match Jon Anderson...
@@johnleeson6946 Ahem. More like grandparents. It's 50 years ago. Two generations. Also, me when I was in a high school band: "Let's play Louie, Louie." These kids: "Close to the Edge."
He also needs to be careful of his posture. Seriously. I played like that a lot for most of my life and now my back hurts all the time-even after surgery. Love his playing of the piece though.
I have been playing drums and guitar for about 40 years and I have played with some good bands. These kids are blowing my mind . The drummer is a pro. These videos are fun to watch and pulling off YES at any age is awesome. Keep rocking you guys. Love it
@@levonpoe His crash cymbal looks like mine did! Any cover of Bruford is quite a challenge at any age and he certainly does it justice and the guitarist does a good job with Howe's intricacies
Probably one of the most complex songs by one of the most musically talented bands I listen to. I cannot imagine being told I would learn and perform this 17+ minute song in, what, a couple weeks? I bet most of them never heard this song before hearing that news. That's what's blowing my mind.
@George Robartes Great comment, thanks for sharing this history! I will add as a happy footnote that I did see ABWH play the entire track in 1989 when I was precisely these kids' ages. Needless to say my life was never the same.
@George Robartes I'm still pissed at Rick lol. I covered the Six Wives excerpts twice at school shows while in high school in the late 70s, and my band performed Close to the Edge in 79. So needless to say, I was a major Rick fan. Then in 84, Rick did a gig in Windsor, Ontario the same year my band won the WRIF Detroit battle of the bands. The whole band went to see Rick at this venue with an audience of only 400 people. All the staffers promised we'd have a chance to meet Rick after the show, but he boogied out of there the instant he left the stage. Arrgh! The closest thing I got to revenge was when Keith Emerson's engineer opined that I was a better keyboard player than Rick. I'm not, but it sure felt good to hear lol.
@@greatsajby9266 I've seen yes play close to the edge live in Detroit back sometime around the late 70s early 80s. Don't remember for sure which time though.
@@scottmc2626 Nice story! I also saw Yes a few times, earliest in 1975. I did see Rick W playing at a very small venue in central England in mid 90s) and for a very small additional fee (I think £1) we could stay after the show for "Tea and Sandwiches with Rick' which I did and got to meet one of my heroes!
My comment lands some 8 years after the posting but better late than never. I am utterly amazed and blown away, having since 1975 seen various Yes line-ups play this. How these youngsters can learn this and deliver it to such perfection is unbelievable. I was in local bands for many years as a guitarist (now retired) but that guitarist here is stunning - he plays the whole song with such ease. Credit to every other performer too. I watched right to the end and was only disappointed that they didn't get a standing ovation instead of being rushed off the stage by the next band. Once again, utterly brilliant.
WHAT? They are absolutely insane. So tight, so well performed. You need to be so brave to take the challenge of this song, let alone killing it. I can't believe it, great job.
Wow! I hope Jon, Steve, Bill and Rick have seen this. And Chris smiling on from some cosmically inspired Roger Dean worldscape. I actually had tears in my eyes watching and listening .
Again, So Tired of people on this site dissing this young kids vocals. I'm a vocalist and musician myself. My question to those I speak about is this?? Where has this young man ever go flat on his vocals??? Not only that, do you people realize how young he is??? To do such a complex piece of musical art vocally At His Age gains my utmost respect!! You need to stop it cause you want to be critical when you don't know what you're talking about. Let me ask you all a question. Where were you musically at that age???
Mike Brennan, I agree with you. The lead vocalist has been a little bit unfairly criticized - though I will say that Jon Anderson and Chris Squire are a vocally very hard act to follow (especially on this song). Having said that, this young man, along with all those kids, did a very very admirable job of recreating a moment in time and music that was truly life changing - for me and many other musicians. Bravo!!
I don't see anything wrong with his singing. I think maybe he needs to work on his breathing technique. He seems to have some trouble holding some of the longer notes out. But that will probably come with more experience.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm in tears!! AMAZING!!! I wish Chris Squire could have heard this before he passed. Guys and gals, you did well and as a huge Yes fan, you play this, there is nothing you cannot achieve. Best wishes.
Mitch Aunger You know what?? I turned my kids onto great music. Even got my 2nd born son an acoustic guitar but he ignored it. I gave him his space yet continued to expose him to music. Had to let my children have their own path. Now, that same child is a multi instrumentalist in a band called Sherry Drive. They released an album called Fly where he plays keys and does the scream parts vocally. They also do a cover of a song called Starboy and do it better (in my opinion) than the original. He the one playing bass with the ball cap on backward doing the background vocals. It didn't matter to me what path or interest he chose but surprised the hell out of me and first chose the military, then chose music.
To add to it, each child is gifted in their own way. Never expected this child to choose music but it happened. I had to allow him his space to choose his own destiny. If he chose something different, as long as it was productive, I would have supported him anyways.
April, 2017 Amazing cover....This was my fave band back in the 70's and I still listen to them. The drummer really showed his passion, he was brilliant. The lead guitarist....he played some incredibly difficult chords, Impressive. The kid singing the Anderson part was too harsh in his voice, I'd have like d to have heard what the girls had to offer . The organist was rather talented . And the bassist was so so good. And to have '' Kids '' pulling off much less attempting to do this incredibly difficult song....Amazing........ How did they ever hear of The Yes ?
PM C I totally agree with you however, thought the voice was very good, especially coming from such a young man. He didn't sound like anderson, but he put his own twist on great music. He had a sound of his own and made it that way!! Just my opinion.
what a delight to see you play one of my ultimate songs.Its nice to see your generation appreciate great music and play it so wonderfully.Yes is a gift to us all..from our Lord..Amen
Just heard this for the first time today. It really made my heart feel good. Probably one of the toughest songs in the history of rock to pull off. Was it perfect no...was it amazing....YES!!!!
I am totally impressed this is a complicated piece of music!! And to see young kids jam to it is awesome!! I am a bassist and Chris Squire is a very complicated bassist and I think the bass player is excellent!!! Kudos to these kids!!!!! If you arent a musician then you have no need to criticize this performance!!! Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing!! I have listened to this song for 20 years and you all brought me to tears listening to this. So happy that the youth still sees the masterpiece that this is. You preformed it like champs
That's as good a rendition as I've ever seen the real Yes do. Proper tempo, like Steve Howe did it in the years soon after they recorded it, and with similar attack.
Just fell over this video. I'm 75, been a 'Yes' fan since forever. You guys are just brilliant. Thank you. Keep the music alive and enjoy it - as you obviously are right now! Absolutely amazing performance!
A deep bow for you all! I am listening to Yes since the seventies. Seen them live about 10 times. And there you are, the kids from the PSoR playing Close To The Edge. One of the most difficult progrocksongs ever written. And you did a perfect job! Thanks.
Wow impressive, I was so sure youth weren't into this progressive rock.This is a hard piece to do,and they do it well. They are all moving to it, must have great musical potential. Thanks Loved it.
Watching this for the first time, although I've listened to the song hundreds upon hundreds of times. I know these kids did a great job because several times the hair on my arms stood up.
Essa foi a coisa mais linda que assisti até hoje... pois, uma gurizada, jovens... meu Deus... que bom em saber que a Música está acolhida eternamente... estou um pouco em choque (o melhor deles) pq a banda Yes fez e fará parte da minha vida perenemente... casei aos 16 anos, e a música da igreja foi And You And I.... SENSACIONAL.
I'm 59. I saw Yes in 1975 at a London football stadium. I had dreams of being a rock star (not to be!) This video is fantastic what a great bunch of youngsters and playing Close to the Edge too - marvelous!! Great job guys and I want to be young again!!
Absolutely heartwarming to see young people tackling such a masterful piece of music in this day and age of throwaway tunes. Massive respect for this rendition of one of my favorite Yes songs!
Van Martin love your comment but have to disagree with you on one point!! Think that young man nails that shit!! He may not be the original lead singer of the tune, However, He makes it his own!! As an old musician myself and generally hates remakes, thought this Fantastic for all involved. That young man nailed this in my opinion. Yes (no pun intented) but thought he did an Excellent job!!
Why you dissing that young kid?? Do you realize how young he is?? And singing such a complex musical piece of art?? I thought that kid not only got into it but definitely did the song justice!!!!! Guess we got a disagreement going on here!!
Dude get the fuck off your high horse. Have u ever grab a microphone or a guitar and tried to learn this song? Probably not. This song is so complex, even for trained musicians, and these kids did a great job. The boy that sung did a perfect job. Stfu and1 grab an instrument
You did great wow! Came to this after the listening to the real YES and I wish I had such talent at your age, hope you're all still into music, good job!
Stumbled across this and wow you did an amazing job! Ive been a Yes fan since 1971 and its so good to see kids playing and moving to Yes music I loved every minute of it well done!!
To add to it as I'm admiring the lead guitarist, bass, keys, drums, harmonies, lead singer, oh guess I just said the entire band!! For such youngsters to play a piece of complex musical art like this blows my mind as well as for the others that have commented. The timing is IMPECCABLE!!
I remember the Yes concert in Houston in spring of '73. It's forty years and more I have listened to this song, and only Yes could do it better. And not by much! Don't any of you stop doing what youre doing.
34 people (so far) need to post THEIR video of themselves playing CTTE. What a bunch of morons to dislike this incredible display of talent and dedication to craft. Bravissimo young ladies and gentlemen. Tears…
wouldnt it be great if Steve Howe saw this and sought this guitar player out and gave him one of his signed 335 gibson. change his life he would. And Jon Anderson along with Rick Wakeman and Allan White the drummer. Super talented kids
I remember learning these songs when they came out, wore out a few records with the needle. The whole group rocks. The drummer and the bass player are groovin too.
Let's not just play one of the most masterful bands in history, let's pick the most chaotic fucking songs they've ever done... This sounds incredible, but even if it hadn't, I'd have given them props for the mere attempt.
Fantastic! Kids can like music like this when they are offered more than just hip-hop, rap, new country, and pop chick music. The young lad singing will develop into a good singer and he does pretty good since he probably just reached puberty. I like the stage dancing and head banging moves from the girls and young man. There is hope!
I have to guess the first time most of them heard this masterpiece was when they found out they were going to perform it live. Wow! Pretty amazing job. I hope this songs stays with them like it has for me over the decades.
OHHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDD!!! This is unbelievable! Fantastic rendition of a song that's not that easy to pull off. :) My congratulations to these young people and I hope they keep up the good work!
This was 3 years ago. I hope these kids are still aspiring to greatness.Good job. I even got emotional at one point, one can probably guess when. Poor girl on stage right whose only job was to sing Steve's part. She didn't have much to do. but it was important.
Been a drummer many a year,love Yes and any band attempting this complicated song deserves much respect,great job all round guys,and girls and it looks like you all enjoyed that,again,Fanatastic job,so nice to see,Squire was the driving force in YES ,probably why they changed drummers often,perhaps try something from Relayer,Gates of Delirium ?
the music from the Yessongs time are solid pieces of music. Your playing was /is super. I was 19 when it was released. Where are you all now??????????? Thank you.
At the end (probably they must have to) it was such a shame that they couldn't enjoy the applauding of the audience a bit longer because another band had to come up stage immediately. :( What an astonishing performance this was! Goosebumps all over my body, truly! I wonder where they are now and still performing Yes together! :o
That is the band I wanted to be in in high school.
These aren’t just kids. This is the spirit and passion of YES being carried from generations and to the end of mankind. You guys are more than awesome. Simply amazing. Please, keep playing.
Hell, their parents were kids when this came out in late '72!

@@johnleeson6946too much of an expectation to find the exact kid that sings like the lead singer....
The kid behind the keyboards needs a "cape"!! ;)
Spuds 😂
AMEN, HE DOES NEED A CAPE!!
And kid behind bass guitar needs boots!
Outstanding comment!
He also needs to be careful of his posture. Seriously. I played like that a lot for most of my life and now my back hurts all the time-even after surgery. Love his playing of the piece though.

Complicated song - lots of changes to remember and several time and tempo changes. Darned good job from these musicians!
drums and bass are not bad i think :)

This is like Yes covered by the Clash. Fantastic.

Wow! I hope Jon, Steve, Bill and Rick have seen this. And Chris smiling on from some cosmically inspired Roger Dean worldscape. I actually had tears in my eyes watching and listening .
R.I.P. Chris
I'll make sure Billy has this and hopefully he'll share it with the guys.

Let’s criticize children playing (singing) Close to the Edge >
I don't see anything wrong with his singing. I think maybe he needs to work on his breathing technique. He seems to have
some trouble holding some of the longer notes out. But that will probably come with more experience.
Absolutely agree.In my opinion they were brave to even attempt this.
Drummer kills it.
yes indeed, in the pocket groove. nice all around!
TangerineASMR They All Killed it!!
If you mean he terrible? Then yes you are correct
Very god drummer!
it's touching tears in my eyes
Me too Francois, me too
He’s a badass little drummer.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm in tears!! AMAZING!!! I wish Chris Squire could have heard this before he passed. Guys and gals, you did well and as a huge Yes fan, you play this, there is nothing you cannot achieve. Best wishes.

Mitch, my kids love Yes & Prog Rock ... look:

These kids give me hope.
It makes me very happy to see young people keeping great music alive. Notice they've memorized it - huge respect for that.
Los auténticos Yes originales estarían orgullosos de estos MUSICOS. Enhorabuena. Joder, es impresionante.
This gives me hope
Discovering these young talents gives me hope back for the human race!
Keep them coming.
This confirms my belief that these songs will live on as important compositions worth learning. Bravo & Brava!
I think we can all agree, it's hard not to cry when listening to this.
Brilliant.
I had no trouble at all watching it without tears.

Very good job. Been playing since the seventies. Could never find a band that could pull off any YES
Absolutely Fantastic !! NIce to see the younger guys still appreciate Quality music
I saw Yes do this back in '74 and this was every bit as exciting. Brilliant cover of a difficult piece and full marks to that drummer.

DAMN ! The DRUMMER is really nailing Bruford's parts note for note.
Such complicated music played with such fervor by some so young. The talent is mind-boggling.
I LOVE seeing the kids discover Yes!
steve howe should seek this kid out and give him one of his gibson 335s sign it, it would change his life
Steve predominantly used 345s
Brilliant! Love you guys!
I've suddenly gained new hope in the youth of tomorrow.
You guys are awesome!!!!
This is brilliant. I'd love to see you guys live.
Great job on a classic tune. Keep going, your all fantastic.
Wonderful
Fantastic job.
I think Yes would really enjoy listening to you.
the music from the Yessongs time are solid pieces of music. Your playing was /is super. I was 19 when it was released. Where are you all now??????????? Thank you.
totally into the sound! thank you so much!there is still hope!!! music!
I now have faith in todays youth, lost it there for awhile.
YES fan for 50 years. These kids are PHENOMENAL!!! Sign on the dotted line!
At the end (probably they must have to) it was such a shame that they couldn't enjoy the applauding of the audience a bit longer because another band had to come up stage immediately. :(
What an astonishing performance this was! Goosebumps all over my body, truly! I wonder where they are now and still performing Yes together! :o
Well done! Excellent job! I am amazed
