Are you guys aware of the "hidden" song reference in this Yes classic?

Hint: I only discovered it when one speaker of my car radio was out.
Hint: Never done in their live versions, at least not in the classic years.
Hint: Beatles

(Hopefully, after all this jabber, I’m not the only one that was unaware until a few years back.)

I think I found out about this in the early 70s.
Maybe it was mentioned in Circus magazine.
I listened mostly to the live version on Yessongs, and it's not on there.
I had the studio albums, but was more fascinated by the live stuff, so I doubt I picked it out myself. Had to have read it somewhere.

I have always been a fan of "The Beatles", and "Yes", I would love to know, if you don't mind.

Thank you

on the left side of the of the mix “All we are saying/Is give peace a chance.” They sing it twice and to me, it’s a bit more prominent the second time.

It was over 100 F. There was water sweating on the floor. Steve Howe had to retune his guitars after every song. People were passing out. Donovan was the "warmup" . Good times!
