Chris Squire in Studio recording America

[CryingBass]

This guy, and this song, got me playing Bass ( ok, GFR, KC, DP and others too ).

Unbelievable live studio footage here if you ask me. "Tells" everywhere. I never saw this video until today, just saying. Another Dead Guy Ale for me!

Very cool! Thank you!!

 

[Bob_Ross]

His bass tone is incredible. Huge.

Right? Often admired, rarely duplicated. I personally never did a pick well. He mastered it.

You, Rogue you!

Great song! I think that is just the original album recording with some studio video footage on top though? Not sure. Doesn't sound like live.

This is definitely the released studio cut, (not live),with video added. When Paul Simon heard Yes's version, he said they should get a writing credit for their arrangement of it!
One of my favorite Chris Squire basslines is the outro beginning at the 8:00 mark, where the band gets all
bossa nova-ish.

Yes those fast runs are cool. I actually heard the Yes version before the original from S&G. When I finally heard the original I was a bit dissapointed. The original is good but Yes really made into a classic Yes song. Very good track!

Check out Joe Osborne's playing and fills on the original, good stuff too.

That almost fell over while he was playing them... Gotta laugh, happens to the best of them!

Wondering if they were rehearsing to record, or rehearsing to play on stage???
Wakeman in rare form, back when he was drinking for the British National Drinking Team!! A wild man...
Squire looked like he had Chinese eyes... Mmmmmmmmm ... You can get small even when your 6'5"!!

Subbed to listen to this later.

Always loved that song!
