"Siberian Khatru" is the third, shortest and final song on the album Close to the Edge by English progressive rock band Yes. Live versions of the song are included on the albums Yessongs, Keys to Ascension, Live at Montreux 2003 and In the Present – Live from Lyon. Multiple performances of the song are included on the 2015 boxed-set Progeny: Seven Shows from Seventy-Two, which features seven complete consecutive concerts recorded on the band's late 1972 North American tour.
"Siberian Khatru" is written in the key of G major and is typical of Yes' music of this period, featuring abstruse lyrics, complex time signatures and polyrhythms, and it is divided into multiple sections, with alternating vocal and instrumental passages. The album version begins with an introductory guitar riff, after which the main instrumental theme (played by the keyboards) is introduced. The structure of the main theme is a four-measure phrase consisting of three bars in common time (4/4) and the last bar in 3/4. This theme is repeated until the verse section begins. The lyrics start at about 1:05. The song progresses through various sections, featuring solos by Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman. There is a polymetric section featuring the guitar, playing in a meter of 12, and bass and drums playing in a meter of 8. Jon Anderson begins singing seemingly random two-syllable words and phrases, which has since become a Yes tradition. The conclusion is similar to the introduction, returning to the main instrumental theme with a guitar solo on top of it, which fades out to the end of the track.
Rafting and white water rafting are recreational outdoor activities which use an inflatable raft to navigate a river or other body of water. This is often done on whitewater or different degrees of rough water, and generally represents a new and challenging environment for participants. Dealing with risk and the need for teamwork is often a part of the experience. The development of this activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid-1970s, evolving from individuals paddling 10 feet (3.0 m) rafts with double-bladed paddles to multi-person rafts propelled by single-bladed paddles and steered by a tour guide at the stern. It is considered an extreme sport, and can be fatal. The International Rafting Federation (IRF) is the worldwide body which oversees all aspects of the sport.
Otherwise known as the International Scale of River Difficulty, below are the six grades of difficulty in white water rafting. They range from simple to very dangerous and potential death or serious injuries.

Siberia (/saɪˈbɪəriə/; Russian: Сиби́рь, tr. Sibir'; IPA: [sʲɪˈbʲirʲ]) is an extensive geographical region, and by the broadest definition is also known as North Asia. Siberia has been historically part of Russia since the 17th century.
The territory of Siberia extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the watershed between the Pacific and Arctic drainage basins. Siberia stretches southwards from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-central Kazakhstan and to the national borders of Mongolia and China. With an area of 13.1 million square kilometres, Siberia accounts for 77% of Russia's land area, but it is home to just 40 million people – 27% of the country's population. This is equivalent to an average population density of about 3 inhabitants per square kilometre (approximately equal to that of Australia), making Siberia one of the most sparsely populated regions on Earth.
Some sources say that "Siberia" originates from the Siberian Tatar word for "sleeping land" (Sib Ir). Another account sees the name as the ancient tribal ethnonym of the Sipyrs, a mysterious people later assimilated to Siberian Tatars. The modern usage of the name appeared in the Russian language after the conquest of the Siberian Khanate. A further variant claims that the region was named after the Xibe people. The Polish historian Chycliczkowski has proposed that the name derives from the proto-Slavic word for "north" (север, sever), but Anatole Baikaloff has dismissed this explanation on the grounds that the neighbouring Chinese, Arabs and Mongolians (who have similar names for the region) would not have known Russian. His own suggestion is that the name represents a combination of two words, "su" (water) and "bir" (wild land).
Live at Montreux is the name of live concert releases, on CD and/or DVD, by various musicians, usually referring to recordings at the Montreux Jazz Festival:
From the album "Close To The Edge" (1972), by the band Yes, formed by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Rick Wakeman. Lyrics: Sing, bird of prey; Beauty begins at the foot of you. do you believe the manner? Gold stainless nail, Torn through the distance of man As they regard the summit.

From Wikipedia: "Siberian Khatru" is the third, shortest and final song of progressive rock band Yes album Close to the Edge. Live versions of the song are found on the Yessongs, Keys to Ascension, and Live at Montreux 2003 albums, and it also is on several compilation albums. It is notable for being the only song on Close to the Edge that is not a multi-part suite. However, Siberian Khatru contains several separate melodies, tones, and sections in the tradition of progressive rock. The live version on the 2-disc album set Yessongs is preceded by Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is an acknowledged influence on the song itself, thus the introduction.

Yes playing at the Philadelphia Spectrum in June, 1979, during the Tormato supporting tour. The stage was a rotating platform in the center of the venue. This was the last tour before Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman left the band; Anderson returned in 1983 and Wakeman in 1991. He left a few months later, again.

After more than 40 years of music, Yes doesn't need any introduction. From 1973 record Yessongs, here are Opening (from Igor Stravinsky's Firebird suite), Siberian Khatru, and Heart Of The Sunrise. Of course I could have upload the whole disc, but I just wanted to give a tease and get you to (re)discover more of that fabulous prog rock band by yourself!
Reasonable video quality of Yes live in Philadelphia 1979. Audio not so good so i've replaced it with the Wembley Arena London late 1978 performance.
Yes during their 35th Anniversary Tour in 2003, performing at the N.I.A., Birmingham. Footage of this show was featured throughout the documentary Yesspeak, and was finally released in full in 2008 on Yes: The Director's Cut, along with another show from the Glastonbury Festival of the same year. Small clips of interviews from the band members are featured in between songs. The interviews are also seen in full on Yesspeak.

Hi this is my cover of Siberian Khatru from Yes! That Lap Steel is an own model (I design it) I have some photos on my facebook of the contruction process : D Hope you like my video : D
Great opening sequence video and, of course, the almost obligatory Siberian Khatru (2:41) opening the concert. Steve was a little low in the mix but they fixed that up. watch the whole show: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0oz3aZg2QY4IWT3_SRHX9Ev8p_g3pHXU
One year ago today there was an enormous disturbance in the low-end force when Chris Squire passed away. As I’ve said before, I can't think of another bassist who has done more for the bass guitar in terms of bringing it both to the front of the stage and to the front of the mix than Chris Squire has. He was a legend and a pioneer and leaves behind a void that won't soon be filled. Being a devout finger-style player, these Yes covers are some of the most challenging and rewarding. Never as “perfect” as I’d like them to be, but I always make my best effort when attempting to adapt one to finger-style. This is my humble offering to commemorate his death and celebrate his life.

Sing, bird of prey;
Beauty begins at the foot of you. Do you believe the manner?
Gold stainless nail,
Torn through the distance of man
As they regard the summit.
Even Siberia goes through the motions.
Hold out and hold up;
Hold down the window. Outbound, river,
Hold out the morning that comes into view. Bluetail, tailfly.
River running right on over my head.
How does she sing?
Who holds the ring? And ring and you will find me coming.
Cold reigning king,
Hold all the secrets from you
As they produce the movement.
Even Siberia goes through the motions.
Hold out and hold up;
Hold down the window. Outbound, river,
Hold out the morning that comes into view. Bluetail, tailfly.
River running right over the outboard, river,
Bluetail, tailfly,
Luther, in time.
Hold down the window;
Hold out the morning that comes into view.
Warm side, the tower;
Green leaves reveal the heart spoken Khatru.
Gold stainless nail,
Torn through the distance of man as they regard the summit.
Cold reigning king,
Shelter the women that sing
As they produce the movement.
River running right on over,
Then over my head. Outboard, river.
Bluetail, tailfly,
Luther, in time,
Suntower, asking,
Cover, lover,
June cast, moon fast,
As one changes,
Heart gold, leaver,
Soul mark, mover,
Christian, changer,
Called out, saviour,
Moon gate, climber,
