An Entity of Type: song, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

"The Gates of Delirium" is a song by the English progressive rock band Yes, recorded for their seventh studio album, Relayer. At almost 22 minutes in length, the song is loosely based on the 1869 novel War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy which originated from a musical idea that frontman Jon Anderson had that depicted a battle. It was then developed and arranged into a complete track by Anderson and the rest of the band, namely bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, and keyboardist Patrick Moraz. Musically, the song represents an introductory vocal section followed by an instrumental that represents the battle. The final section, entitled "Soon", is a gentle, soothing prayer for peace and hope.

The final section, entitled "Soon", is a gentle, soothing prayer for peace and hope. The song was originally released in November 1974 as side one of Relayer. A shortened version of "Soon" was released as a single in the United Kingdom in January 1975, which did not chart. Yes performed "The Gates of Delirium" live between 1974 and 1976; it was not played live again until 2000, a gap of 24 years. The piece was performed live with an orchestra on stage with the band in 2001, and it was reinstated into the band's live set in 2019. (en)
  • The Gates of Delirium è un brano del gruppo di rock progressivo britannico Yes. Il brano, composto da tutti i membri del gruppo, è una suite di quasi ventidue minuti di durata ed occupa l'intero lato A dell'LP Relayer, pubblicato nel 1974. Prima della ristampa di Tales from Topographic Oceans, questo fu il brano musicale più lungo mai registrato in studio dalla band. Vagamente basato su Guerra e Pace di Lev Tolstoj, il brano consta di un preludio che conduce ad una vasta sezione strumentale, che rappresenta la battaglia, mentre la parte finale mostra le conseguenze dello scontro. Caratteristica del brano è proprio la sezione centrale, al limite del rumorismo, nella quale - quasi a simulare le battaglie - Jon Anderson ed Alan White ottengono particolari effetti sonori utilizzando rottami e parti metalliche, come appare evidente nei video dell'epoca. Una versione di 22 minuti e 40 secondi, registrata al Cobo Hall di Detroit il 17 agosto 1976, appare sull'album Yesshows, il secondo album dal vivo degli Yes. (it)
