There can never be another lead singer for yes except Jon Anderson!
-
I won't labour the point but these guys stand next to the 18/19 century classical composers as sublime musicians, whose music will still be enjoyed for Millenia to come.
-
I'm 62 & I had seen Yes do this live with Jon Anderson. It was absolutely AMAZING. Anderson & Yes are one of the very few bands that are truly PERFECT live. Never a mistake. Absolutely PERFECT!!
-
One of the finest and best compositions ever written in prog rock history
-
This song is probably the most beautiful, complex, emotionally moving piece of progressive rock ever written. It brings tears to my eyes. RIP Mr. Squire.
-
The ultimate merging of spirituality and music. Brings tears every time.
-
Listening to this makes you realise that most other bands just aren't trying hard enough. Epic, spiritual and masterfully constructed.
-
The most wonderful, moving and truly magnificent spine-tingling piece of prog music ever written. Thank you so much, Jon, Chris, Steve, Rick and Alan.
-
A band of this dimension will never come again. Their music will continue to blow minds for another century.

In 2004, when I was 21, I paid for my whole family (10 tickets) to see Yes at a local fairgrounds here in Vermont. My parents had been big fans since the 1970s, and I was raised on Yes in the '80s and '90s. We all thought we knew what to expect. But when they played Awaken - a song that wasn't often played at home for whatever reason - we all broke down into tears. The piece is so incredibly moving, even visually. I will love this band and these musicians forever.

May Yes be blessed as they've blessed us all throughout the years!
-
Absolutely genius. Progressive and ethereal in the same song. Rick and Jon together are magical. Steve’s three guitars in one song. Omg. If this song doesn’t give you goose bumps you aren’t breathing. Met Jon a few years ago and had a great conversation. Such a lively man
-
I'm nearly 72, a year or two older than these fantastic guys, whom I have followed since they started. I think this track is one of the finest they ever did and epitomises the band really, with the outright emotion it produces. It still makes the hairs on my arms stand up every time I hear it
-
As a YES fan of nearly 50 years, I have only one word. Sublime. Thank you Jon, Chris, Steve, Rick and Alan. Thank you.
-
I'm 71. I've been a musician > 65 of those years, 60 on the guitar. I have so much respect for all of these guys.
-
What I love about many Yes performances is after 7 minutes you think , wow that was genius! Then it continues and gets progressively better for 15 more minutes. Really the absolute Mozart perfectionists of rock music, and I mean it. i wish I had seen them live.
-
So brilliant. I wish I was 21... sometimes.. But am also glad I'm 63. Because i had this in my time and still after all these years it fills my heart.
-
Chris Squire is always regarded as the amazing bass player from Yes but few make any reference to his incredible supporting vocal harmonies underneath Jon, he was also an excellent harmoniser, RIP Chris
-
Their magnum opus, GOOSEBUMPS every time I hear this.... so perfect it becomes scary
-
This absolute masterpiece should be 19 hours and 52 minutes....... !
