I just found the official music video for "Don't Kill the Whale."

1. I didn't know Chris could play fingerstyle like that!

2. I have a sudden love of whales.

3. This is a dark moment for Yes in the way of music vids....

I must admit, it's a sick bassline, though.

Of course, how one "plays" at a video shoot doesn't always reflect how(or what) they played on the recording. Of course.

This song was from 1978's "Tormato" LP.
It is quite a good album, under-rated, but was not like their epic records of the early '70's.
"On the Silent Wings of Freedom" is (to me) the strongest song on the disc.

Not that they ever were a particularly camera-friendly band, but it might put things in perspective to remember that this video is pre-MTV.

33 years later & I still detest those keyboard sounds as much as the day I first heard them!
