The base player, Chris Squire, is Geddy Lee's primary influence. He passed away and Yes asked Geddy to take his place with them as they performed this song at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. You can find it here on KZitem and is worth watching.

Fun Fact, you'll Love: Sadly, the iconic bassist, Christopher Squire, passed away before YES was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame. So, on the night of the induction, when YES took the stage to play, they needed a bass player to sit in on the performance. Those shoes were filled by none other than Geddy Lee, of Rush. It was a perfect fit, and beautiful thing to behold. Cheers guys :)

It is so great to see young black guys learning about and appreciating some of the great rock music of the past. All early Yes is fantastic, and "Roundabout" is a masterclass of composition, musicianship, and performance. Yes has many songs that are very powerful, and many that are very delicate, but Roundabout has an amazing balance of sweetness and brutality. Yes music and lyrics can be deep and difficult, but it is amazing and Yes has produced many transcendent works of art. Please continue to dig deeper into Yes's other early albums, from "Fragile" to "Going for the One". In particular, take a listen to their song "Awaken", considered by many to be their best work. As you have no doubt discovered, music from the 60's and 70's was very different from popular music now. Experimentation, BIG IDEAS, and NOT sounding like the next guy were encouraged on the radio (!), not just in the dark musical underground scene. Groups like Yes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Allman Brothers with their 5, 10, and 20 minute songs, were all over the radio. Elementary school kids knew every note to long and complex works like Roundabout and Stairway to Heaven. High school kids could converse about the deep poetry of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. We learned to play Beatles songs on the guitar in 3rd grade in public school in Atlanta, and sing Bach choruses IN GERMAN in 4th grade in public school in Detroit. In general, music back then adhered less to any specific style or beat, and it was defined by artists taking big creative leaps and going on broad musical explorations. Popular Music (except disco, which I love), did not all sound like it was produced on the same beat machine and it did not follow some simple commercial format. Even though there were many popular musical genres like disco, rock, soul, etc., it was a time of great artistry and experimentation. As a listener, if you weren't lazy and didn't allow yourself to become locked into a musical rut, you would have seen all kinds of wild stuff coming from everywhere, and it was great take it all in. There is just so much great music of all kinds from the 60's - late 70's for you to discover (along with a lot of great be-bop jazz from even earlier). Yes is the most significant of the prog rock groups. Yes songs are so carefully crafted and complex, some songs are structured in movements like classical works, and the guys are such brilliant composers and technicians, that it can take a while to really understand what they and their songs are about, but they are deeply beautiful and moving, and always present a most optimistic and humanitarian viewpoint, so it is worth the effort. For me, a non-musician music lover, it is hard to imagine that Yes was creating and performing this level of magic and sophistication when they were in their early twenties! I've always thought of Yes music as like the "Star Trek - The Next Generation" of music. I too was a young black guy when I was turned on to Yes by my best friend in high school way back in the late 70's, and I've enjoyed all the great "classic" and prog rock and I've been a devotee ever since, and let me tell you, this music stands the test of time. It is as fresh, radical, and fascinating as when I had first heard it. Yes's works never get old, that's how you know it is ART! I wish you much joy in your continuing musical exploration and discovery, and thank you for spreading the word of this wonderful but forgotten music to your generation and others.

The main groove is considered one of the best bass lines in rock history. P.S: Modern music is so loud because every track is being mixed really loud in what's been called "The Loudness Wars" and it's considered by many to be the downfall of modern recording. Every big record company wants their record to stand out, so the cheap way to do that is to make it louder than the others and a lot of dynamic (between subtle and loud musical parts) is lost.

and too many "remasters" are just crappy, look at what they've done to the beatles or to michael jackson, try and listen to "bad" on vinyl and then listen to the latest remaster, they just killed the music, smothered all dynamics and even managed to ruin some arrangements by compressing everything to the point where instruments disappear. i usually don't trust remasters, the originals are more than fine. then there's exceptions, the led zeppelin remasters are absolute ear candy, as are the king crimson remasters by steven wilson.

So...I've had nearly 50 years of having this music in my memory. It's incredible just how musical and technical so many of these 60's & 70's bands really were...and without autotune or any other of the modern junk stuff. These were real musicians playing their own instruments and singing with their own voices. You should listen to this song diagnosed by Rick Beato on his channel.

Even better, in those days, a friend of mine had a Quadraphonic system in which we listened the “Six wives of Henry the VIII” and “Journey to the center of the earth”, ELP, ETC. Believe me, we enjoyed listening great music on a great sound quality sound system. I think I was very fortunate have friends back then who enjoyed great music.

We lived in what a college dorm set up would be like; with 2 & 3 & 4 man dorm rooms. Many of us had good sound systems in the rooms, so there was always great music coming from lots of rooms all the time. I had a top of the line Kenwood amp & tuner, a real good turntable with a very good cartridge and two great 3 way speakers that had 6 " mid-range speakers. I love vocals and these speakers brought it all out for me. Then...I had a friend that had a true 4 way speaker system, and to listen to an album that had been mixed for a 4 way system, the different instruments and vocals and percussion & such each coming out of it's own speaker, was incredible to hear. And speaking of Quadraphonic...did you ever listen to the great Who album of "Quadrophenia" ? Wow...!!!
