Ive been looking back at Yes & what kinda great prog-rock stuff they were nailing even back in the early 70s.
Anyhow, I was poking around & found this cover. That Gilbert is a fuckin animal on the guitar....

That was awesome.
I'm not a big Yes fan, but Gilbert is insanely great.

I adore Yes, and this was brilliant. Gilbert is something else.

Not a big Yes fan but, Paul Gilbert is always amazing.
Probably heresy, but this is my favorite Yes album.

Yeah man.. I spent time with a friend over a summer vacation, who had Yes Yessongs, Rush Hemispheres & Sabbath Paranoid......
That broke my cherry to fucking prog I guess... I never saw it that way, I just figured it was some deep & complex rock. You know, at that point I was into some Aerosmith, Zep, Nugent, and some other more poppy shit..
Anyhow, I never got heavy into Yes, beyond that album. They were always so WIDE that really delving deep into them wasnt natural to me.. Still, I greatly appreciated them. & lately giving them a listen again.
Squire was the heavy part of the band but also melodic, Howe, was lighter melodic complexity. And then somehow Wakeman was melodic & complex... Always a BIG part of the music, but never overbearing. White just kinda fit all in without jumping out at ya.
Anyhow, Ive been really digging THIS track too..
