Thread: New Yes Fragile Documentary

    New Yes Fragile Documentary

    There was one thing that I wish I had expanded on in this documentary,
    and that is the point about Atlantic Records asking Roger Dean to design covers for Zep instead of Yes.
    I wonder how this may have changed the music and history of the bands? Interesting to consider further....

    Anyway, it my my pleasure to release this. A wonderful record that I hope I have done justice to.

    Gentlemen, enjoy :

    Bravo! Half way through. You always do these justice.

    I couldn't resist it. With the Hull gig (where the band first met Wakeman) being so important,
    I thought I'd big-up the Yorkshire starting.

    Fred is my hero. But I'll bet the yanks are mystified...

    That was great. Fragile is still my favorite Yes album. Roundabout was the first Yes song I ever heard, and Fragile was the first Yes album I ever bought. Love all the early classics, but Fragile is my favorite. Great documentary.

    Watched the Fragile Documentary twice (so far). Very well done deep dive into one of the Classic Yes albums. Looking forward to the next one; Thanks Rael.

    Of course you did it justice, as I feel you've done with all your docs. So it's gotten the old on the tube with all the rest. And isn't Jersey in the UK? It's 'New' Jersey over here. Loved the PSA from Jon & also got wry grin as soon as Cristina Ricci popped on screen (granted, swaying to Crimson but that's nigh here or there). I'll never forget seeing that film in the theater when it was released. I had liked Vincent in a couple of other flicks but knew nothing of his relationship with the Squires at the time. Was merely really into low budget indie films then. I walked out of the theater with my jaw on the ground let me tell you!

    Thanks Rael!

    His use of Heart of the Sunrise in Buffalo 66 is as good as anything Scorsese did with music in movies, and he was arguably the greatest.

    Like with lots of things in the doc, I could have talked more about that sequence and was really happy to include it.

    Oh yeah, that girl dancing to Moonchild... off the scale. Spine-tingling stuff.

    Meant to mention. We Have Heaven. I always heard Tell the moondogs, but I thought it was wrong. Was I right? Moondogs....

    Great documentary. As a bonus, Jon has convinced me to leave the hard drugs alone.

    Pretty sure it was "moon dog" in the songbook I used to have. I don't know if Jon approved the lyrics there.

    I heard it on YT with ear buds. I think it's Tell the Moon Don't tell the marchers (or Martians).

    When Rael mentioned the "most bizarre ingredient" in the arrangement of "Roundabout," I thought it was going to be Bruford's milk bottles.
