YES IMPROV FROM 1970

I've only just come across this intriguing little clip of a live Yes instrumental improvisation from 41 years ago - with Bill Bruford on drums (well, cymbals), Chris Squire (bass), Jon Anderson (tambourine) and pleasingly left-field performances from Tony Kaye on organ and a barely visible Steve Howe on guitar. This was probably a segue into the band's fine cover of Stephen Stills' haunting 'Everydays' (Time And A Word). The recording is superb in quality, captured somewhere in Germany, and is sadly the only footage of its kind available. It is also post Peter Banks - thus Howe's presence.
