Song 460-1 ( Yes - Your Move / All Good People )

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61GMTxfyl6L._SX522_.jpg

I have been meaning to choose this medley for the last little bit and today seemed like an excellent day for doing so. Both of these songs are titled under I've Seen All Good People on the album, however they are two separate songs that are always played together. This is just like Long Distance Runaround and The Fish. I have often referred to the first one as "the chess song" because of the references to the game in the lyrics.
In my opinion, both of the songs make up for what is missing in the other. The first one is mellower and more intricate lyrically with amazing vocal harmonies, while the second one has the harder driving sound and the mind blowing musicianship. One of my favorite aspects of the song is the fadeout, where with each time the line is sung dropping a step each time.
