Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundrer
Cold summer listening
Hot colour melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Did we really count to one hundred
(repeat verses)
Looking for the sunshine

Fragile, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Cars were the essential tapes needed for a righteous Frisbee, beer and weed session!

Everytime you hear this and just keep your ears open for the bass line...
like so many - this bass just punctuates everything in this song… the guitar alone is magical and the bass just punctuates with gumption!

From Wikipedia:
Schindleria praematura, Schindler's fish is a species of neotenic goby which was formerly placed in the monogeneric family Schindleriidaebut which is currently classified within the Gobiidae.[4] It is associated with reefs and has an Indo-Pacific distribution from South Africa and Madagascar to Hawaii and the sea mounts of the South Pacific.[3] The generic name and the common name honour the German zoologist Otto Schindler (1906–1959) who described the species.[5]

There are many well deserved comments re: the bass sound.....
Who can come up with the best adjective for Chris Squire's punchy Rickenbacker (and associated equipment) sound?

This was my first concert when they just released this album. Strangely, they opened for Black Sabbath which as you can imagine was a great mismatch. I mean Yes is so talented in regards to being true musicians; each of them masters in their respective instruments. I will say that as a 16 year old kid I was totally BLOWN away. So as not to throw shade on Black Sabbath they were good but in a different way.

Yes! Good call on those two songs, both favourites of mine. I often joke with friends, it’s kind of hard having a favourite song that’s over 20 minutes long. You can’t just pop it on at a party and go “check this out”.
Classic prog rock from one of my all-time favorite bands of any genre. Thanks for playing this, Bill. Now, how about Gates of Delirium or The Revealing Science of God?

Went see The Nice at London's Royal Festival Hall in 1970, and Yes were the support! I was blown away, went out and bought their albums, learned to play bass, and eventually owned a Rickenbacker like Chris Squire. What a long time ago that was. Still listen to this with the volume turned up.

I'm glad i got to see them twice, once in okc and tulsa,
This song vividly takes me back to my junior year of high school. Wow! Great song, great group.

Yes is a lot like Rush in that people love to hate on them. Rush somehow turned that around in the last 15 years, but not as much for Yes. I think the ever changing direction and lineup caused the casual observer to declare that they are silly band with no worth. They are remarkable, just as I can't stand DMB, but respect that they are a good band that writes good music (that I happen not to like).
Bill is always willing to let us face our youthfull errors.
Steven Wilson has been remixing the Yes catalog and the results are remarkable.

Carefully listening to this song makes me think that, whatever many pure Yes fans deplored at that time, Trevor Horn did not betray the band's essence on 90125 and Big Generator (although he was less involved in that second new-era album). On the contrary, I think he just took that chemistry to a different dimension by emphasizing some distinctive accents, like the bass+guitar osmosis on this track which reminds me of songs like It Can Happen. And he didn't ask Jon to adopt a different singing style either. Anyway, I just venerate the two lives of that band at equal level, despite I fell in love with them 'only' around 1983.

It's always great to hear music that sounds unique yet still provides beautiful melody and virtuosic performances. There were certainly times when Yes lost the script but this is a great example of a band pushing boundaries but knowing how to harness their impulses to craft a very musical performance.
hate to sound like a hater but just say NO to yes
Sure beats listening to the Dixie Chicks.

Great to see them finally accepted to R&R Hall of Fame this year. Check out their performances that I believe is still being re-run on HBO. Other highlights were Pearl Jam, ELO, and Joan Baez, among others.

I remember this coming out around the time that "underground" FM radio hit my hometown - I have a great fondness for the memories of being introduced to bands like Yes on WRQR. But at the same time I didn't quite realize this was also the moment that radio became segregated. My old hometown AM radio station played everything: soul, R&B, beach, country, rock, and pop. As much as I loved the underground radio scene (it prompted me to work in radio for a few years in the early 70s) I now see it as the beginning of the heavily-regimented "format" radio we have today. I can remember playing acts like Earth Wind & Fire and the Isley Bros on my radio show and being criticized for breaking format.
It's one of the reasons I've loved RP since I discovered it way back in 2002. Thanks for playing everything.

Robin Trower, PT now Yes, I am feeling loved...
One of my few 10s here. This was the first record I ever bought and still one of my faves. My older sister knew Bruford and even did some photography for one his solo albums. Cool guy, awesome drummer and one of the best recordings of all time.

When I listen to this, I try to find if and how they "break the song" into concurrent, separate tracks (using multiple takes) and then stitch it together into one song.
I mean...there's no way they did this all in one take,is there? Because it sure sounds like it.
And Chris Squire's bass is soooooo freakin good.

Pure genius. It was the second album I purchased after Dark Side of The Moon.
I've seen them do the entire album in the round twice and the track itself half a dozen times over the years.

Well actually there were some exceptional FM radio stations back in the day. CHUM-FM in Toronto had a good reputation at one point.
CHOM-FM out of Montreal was fantastic — and truly bilingual. It showcased modern Quebec pop music at the same time that it played an eclectic assortment of music much like radio paradise: blues, jazz, progressive rock, classical, etc., etc.
I suppose the trouble is that it was next to impossible to pick up these and other 'underground' radio stations on a car radio in most of North America.
Unfortunately, none of these 'underground' FM radio stations commercially survived. Now we have the internet, hyper mark-up language, etc., and for those inclined, it is easy to stream RP to an automobile from just about anywhere on the planet.
Screw the 'good ol' days' concept. These ARE the good days!
