Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs take on a typically tricky Yes staple:
I love Susanna Hoffs’ voice, and I love her interpretation of this song. You should definitely check out her various collections of covers with Sweet, called “Under The Covers”, volumes one through (I believe) three, with each focusing on a specific decade, starting with the 60s. Note the comments on the YouTube page for this; lots of people thought the degree of difficulty for this song was too high, but they were more than pleasantly surprised to see S&H pull this off. A live recording of them doing a shorter version of this is here, if you’re interested.
And here’s Yes:
I am so glad that this kind of live concert footage exists from the pre-MTV/YoTube days. For those of us who never got to see a band like Yes in their prime, it’s amazing to be able to experience it virtually now.
“For those of us who never got to see a band like Yes in their prime….”
Yes is one of my favorite bands. I saw them on the Big Generator tour in Dallas. I don’t know if that qualifies as “in their prime,” though. Still, it was an awesome show. Thanks for posting the clip, Kuff.
