On the Silent Wings of Freedom
One of my favorite songs from my favorite band-- YES. This is a great video clip, which I think was actually aired on MTV at one time (back when they actually showed music videos, remember that?). It's interesting not only because it shows the band in the studio, but because the version of the song here is different from the one released on Tormato. Towards the end of the clip Chris Squire stops the tune because he doesn't like the feel or the bass sound or something...it's not quite clear. But they discuss it for a bit, then try again and finish the tune. Pretty cool stuff.
One of my faves, too. Is that the flanger that Chris is using? Always loved that flange.
