Epic!
Interesting time signature in the first song/part, amazing bass, and impressive lead guitar. The second part "You by my Side" is more pleasing, melody-wise. The first part is more "wow they're amazing musicians", but doesn't grab me straight away.
Is he God? Pretty close - I'd worship him over other Gods...

Squire isn't God. He's a pretty interesting bassist though. I really like the stuff he did with XYZ (Jimmy Page and Alan White).

Thanks!
Squire is my favorite bassist, and also my original inspiration to become a bass player myself. I've been playing for almost forty years.
The action on my first bass was so bad that I compare it to dragging telephone wires to the ground with your fingers.
I saw Squire and YES in concert back in '77. Chris looks a little less like Frankenstein nowadays than he did back then.

Always been a fan of the man. There are a number of bassists that are...more 'technically proficient' [for lack of a better phrase...and not that he isn't that...he sure as hell is.]...but he's much the same as David Gilmour and guitar: He's just tasty...riffs and lots of notes are fun...but the right notes at the right time...yummmmm.[/b]

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Good description Vraith! And I agree (about Gilmour too).-

Chris is freaking awesome. He's definitely an influence; he and McCartney were the first bass players I paid attention to.

Having just played your link to Hold Out Your Hand/You by my Side which you posted in The Hangar, I can understand more why you say this...

I was trying to quote Danlo's post - when it disappeared!
Anyway, Roundabout was the first yessong I ever heard too, but the one you linked us to was Close To The Edge.
Damn excellent version I might add.
WOW! Jon Anderson's voice is better than it's ever been!

Roundabout was my first yessong. OK here's the video I canceled-astounding musicianship, absolutely fantastic Anderson vocals-horrible and distributing editing (listen at your own risk) Close to the Edge.
fall far and well Pilots!
