I need to go split some wood , lift something heavy or change the oil in my truck, YES is so in grained in my soul i fall apart every time. This is crazy , am i supposed to feel this way , do i understand what Jon is saying half the time , no ?? It's so ethereal but it works. If this was "And you and I " I am not sure I'd recover , god dammit i hate it , i love it ! Funny how music can reduce a man to tears in an instant.

❤❤❤

what a cracker from this musical genius! As good now as it was when i used to listen to it in my teens! would love @AnnaLapwoodOrgan to watch this magical piece

this is good the original is best. howe is as irreplaceable as jon. i wish they were still able to create together

Magic

Goosebumps all over, wet eyes, closer to heaven is almost impossible.... what a song, what a performance.... ❤❤❤

Six billion people...I can instantly recognize only a few voices. I can always recognize this voice. Wherever Jon is, Yes is. Miss Chris and Alan, love Rick and Steve, but Jon proves it here.

🙏 god bless and thank you for all these years and vibes in my life…

Unbelievable, just unbelievable

My favourite song by anyone ever. Period.

Fantastic version and musicians. I love YES

Jon Anderson à une voix d'ange céleste

The choir is great

I just love this so much💜💜💜

I really would like to know which band member was responsible for the third section that comes after the harp solo. It's an amazing piece of music and I've rea.read that it has a complex approach to the chords.

A modern day lark ascending! Brilliant

The greatest Prog Rock Masterpiece.

Stunning... timeless... classic... words fail. Might be the best ever version just simply because of the immensity of the orchestra and angelic choir.

Rick weckman , este tema junto jon anderson , lo hicieron , inmortal

An unbelievable performance of my all time favorite Yes (master) piece. Jon's vocals are unchanged! A true gift. Thank you.

I bought 'Going for the One' in 1977 in the USA as an 18 year old exchange student. 'Awaken' transcended time and place and has been one of my top tracks ever since. When I saw this video here for the first time, it was so heartwarming to meet other people who just appreciate this masterpiece. Jon Anderson seems humbled by this orchestra, and they seem humbled by his appearance. Just fantastic! 😊

Verstehe zwar kein angelsächsisch was hier geschrieben wird,aber für mich war yes,jon Andersen von der Jugend an meine musik, einzigartig!

In a nutshell, Jon Anderson is total class, integrated, and wonderful. Lol. And many more adjectives. Lol. Amen He's a true musician.......😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

You see here Jon Anderson performing with other musicians etc. Taking it up a few notches lol. You see. A decade earlier etc. And today he's jamming with school bands, up n coming people in Music. Yes. 😊😊😊 you see this man's motive? It's tremendous man. 😊😊😊 Kickass lol.

I'm in my mid 50's, been listening to Jon Anderson since I was 15. I've now listened to this video on a large screen TV, in private, with stereo sound like 30 times. I cry like a baby every single time. Thank you Jon for a lifetime of under appreciated rock music. ❤❤❤

Best song in the known universe to date.

Wow, they have ~40 musicians on-stage, and everyone is very well-rehearsed, and Todmobile is an excellent guitarist, totally in control of all the technique he needs. The arrangement is really well-done, a nicely calibrated amount of horns and other acoustic instruments. The mini-choir backing Jon more closely is brilliant (and they're ridiculously good-looking people! Go Iceland 😁!). And this is one of the great ecumenical prayers ever written. Yes really struck gold with this one. If you don't feel _better_ after that orgasmic circle of fifths just before the coda, you prolly need therapy. I think people will organize and make this music again for a very long time. Still can't believe how well Jon's voice seems to be holding up.

How do I join this orchestra?

still here in 2024! remember buying the album those days and was blown away. This version here is unbelievable - nearly makes me cry. Those days are gone forever but the music will stay forever. Thanks to Jon and Yes for their incredible art and sophisticated music - plus this ensemble who made it come alive again. Excellent work!

Just beautiful

Jon- for 50 years you have tried to bring the world together with your music which is like wonderful dreams. From now on I shall call you Dream Connector. Rhysman. Ouisiyes........

What is the blonde violinists name

In my opinion, this is the most spiritual, uplifting live musical performance ever made.

Jon, I will ALWAYS love you.

I may be imagining it, but for me there is a moment where Jon changes from singing with a tribute band, to being moved emotionally, and being swept along with everyone else with something remarkable.

Pity the keyboardist could not play the pipe organ cadenza at 13:33. Otherwise, this is fantastic.

The most moving piece of music I will ever hear. Unbelievable performance here! Jon's voice is absolute perfection.

Perfection.

His voice hasn't changed a bit. Still extraordinary as it was then. They don't make music like this anymore.

Absolutely phenomenal so clear and so nice And so pure

Sublime

MAGNIFICI....!!!

This is the absolute best version of “Awaken” I have ever heard!

This is simply perfection

Artistic masterpiece of yes

Just amazing - fantastic vocals, band, orchestra

Guitarist is appropriately blissed out. lol

the guy is a total legend.
