Good song, but my fave is “Close to the Edge.”

In 70? 71? My band with John Tatum (the “Earwigs” which became Alice Cooper) on guitar went down to Tucson to see this combo:

Opener: “Yes”
Headliner: “Black Sabbath.”

We were mesmerized by Yes, left three songs into Black Sabbath.

I’d have been thrilled to see both Sabbath and YES in the early ‘70s. Saw YES only once, in Long Beach in ‘79 (“in the round”), on their Tormato tour. Wakeman was back with them by then. Outstanding show.
