![#onthisday 5 March 1971 'I've Seen All Good People' single released. Steve Howe: "We had the song pretty much worked up in rehearsals. The beginning of it, the parts where I’m playing the acoustic, they never sounded right, however, and so when we got in the studio, we got a click out and I played to it. I did a whole take that way. The click was Bill’s idea. What he’s playing with Chris, that ‘ba-doot’ beat, we made a loop of that. “The guitar I’m using on the opening is a Portuguese 12-string tuned to a unique way that I think sounds right. The rock section does have a bit of a Western swing to it. That guitar solo is great – I wish I could keep writing them like that. It’s very much like a Bill Haley-type solo. When I played it, I believe I was thinking about how I liked that beboppy guitar approach. It sort of softens the rock but edges up the swing. “I remember at one point saying that we needed some recorders, which everybody liked the idea of. A guy [Colin Goldring] came in and played them, and they sounded fantastic. I’m not sure if the organ is a Hammond or an actual church organ, but it rises up and it’s just incredible. “When we do the song live on tour now, we’re going to move the keys down for the ‘I’ve seen all good people’ harmonies at the end. We do love to sing. In Yes, we’ve always had so many ideas for the various instruments, our sonic story, but the vocals are always a lot of fun to do too." #yestheyesalbum #yestheband #photooftheday #amazing #look #instalike #picoftheday #follow #blackandwhite #orange #single #cover #art #photograph #creative #graphics #artoftheday #music #prog #rock #song #chess #aliceinwonderland #lyrics #lovethissong #listentothis #goodmusic #instamusic](http://distilleryimage7.s3.amazonaws.com/740c7e00a49011e3b3c40efd6596669f_5.jpg "#onthisday 5 March 1971 'I've Seen All Good People' single released.
