      Not bad for a guy who looks how i feel lol. I grew up listening to YES. I then worked on air at a AOR rock station that played these now classics. I am amazed at the notes he can hit. Truly a rock legend. I am glad you guys got to see the show. The doobie brothers are also on tour with Michael McDonald. That would also be a great show. and whoever shot the pirate video!!!

The ONE AND ONLY eternal voice of Yes. You still give me chills after all these years.

      @@rodiguru That's because the bass player, sound engineer of Band Geeks, as well as all the other hats he wears. Is as someone below says? And over achiever in everything he does. He's much like a Todd Rundgren from back in the day. Who in the same vein as Steely Dan, can play every instrument he's tried his hand at. And quite well. Is also a sound board master, and videographer magician as well. You name it, he does it. Everyone in the band can sing as well as play multiple instruments as well. Harmony on both the singing and musician roles has always been a big deal. Not to mention he started off as a sound man for Blue Oyster Cult & was with them as a musician and back up vocals for over 20 years. The band has worked on perfecting YES sound for at least 5 years. because they all love YES and eventually called in the only one they knew, could hit all of Jon's Notes. A female vocalist, who didn't think she even could. Yet with all this expertise behind him? He said he nearly smashed up his car, when Jon called him on the phone while he was driving. And asked if his crew would like to meet. He said he was so tongue tied, he just mumbled something like Yes, lol. He worked with the likes of Buck Dharma for 20 years, yet when one of his life long favorites calls? He crumbles like a kid in a candy store. lol. You gotta love the humbleness of him as well. Tell me this woman cant do Jon? lol - czcams.com/video/TsJKxTDza60/video.html

    This is astonishing. 50 years ago, whilst my mates were revising for some exams, I was receiving education of a far greater value - my first Yes gig (Free Trade Hall Manchester). My heart was broken when we lost Chris Squire and then Alan White last year, and I feared we would never hear these classics performed live to the old standard again (I saw Yes many times and they never failed to deliver). Watching this has given me a buzz that I can't describe. Phenomenal performance by each musician and Mr Anderson - you defy time!! Sincere thanks for it all.

      @bennieuwenhuis2443 Před 11 měsíci +3

      I don't hate Steve Howe. He used to be an innovative guitar player with an instantly recognisable sound. The demise of Yes already set in when Jon was fired from the band and Chris was still alive. If you listen to live recordings from that period, you'll notice that the overall sound lacks accuracy and tightness and that the band tends to play slower in general.
      Furthermore I don't think Geoff Downes, while in his own right a fine keyboard player, has ever been a good match for Yes like, for instance, Moraz or even Khoroshev. I'm sure Sherwood, Davison and of recent Schellen are doing the best they can, but this band is a far cry from the Yes we know and love.
      I've been following the Band Geeks for some time and I've always been touched by their integrity and joy while performing songs from their musical heroes.
      Touring with Jon Anderson has been a master-stroke. The Geeks are at the top of their game and Jon Sounds rejuvenated.
      I hope they'll consider a European tour so I might see them in Holland.

I seriously think this may have been the best Yes show I’ve ever seen, the performance quality, Jon is in just UNBELIEVABLE form (and he had the flu earlier in the week!) regardless of his age, the sound mix at the venue, the crowd was great, and what a gorgeous venue The Lyric is. I was at Tysons the Wednesday before too, and that was great, but this was the better of the two shows, more energy and a more appreciative crowd.

    These new Band Geek Yes shows have changed my life. I first saw Yes in 1972. It’s been a long love affair.
    The energy of these shows is the closest thing to the original Yes since the 70’s.
    Jon Anderson is the Maestro that holds the magic key to the proper presentation of this glorious music.
    Chris Squire is smiling from Heaven at what his partner is doing.
    I’ve watched every show posted since this tour started. It feels so good to see and hear the Master surrounded by dedicated great musicians giving us this great gift.
    Thank you for the fine quality post. Much love

    This sounds much better then the tributeband Steve Howe is leading. It’s the voice that finishes of the real sound. Jon Anderson rules! ✌🏻❤️ Great respect for the Geeks. They sound exactly like the Yes I saw in the 70’s in Rotterdam.

      Well to be honest this band is really a tribute band as well. To be fair. They are more talented and play with more vigor than Steve’s band . I’ll give you that. But Jon is the only Yes member and Steve actually has Geoff who has been on several Yes albums dating back to the 80s and up until recently had Alan(RIP).

    Oh dear - I’m feeling incredibly emotional!! The Yes Album was the first I ever bought and I never looked back. Many concerts later this is right up there, probably the very best. The musicianship is faultless - my deep respect and love to every one of these amazing guys - but Jon, what can I say …… Jon has been the soundtrack of my life (along with others of course - but always the ‘go to’, the ‘if I could only have one record on a desert island’’) . And thank you so much for recording and posting this!! I’d sell my soul to see this band and Jon live - amazing. Move over the fake ‘Yes’ - this has all the ❤. Love, love, love to all like minded souls ……. Xx

Thank you brother. Joe. He is at peace now. Yes music was always his way of getting back to peace with Mother Earth. Thank you Jon.

    Sounds great fellas but seriously you need to put a treble booster on that bass in some of the full band sections - low end is way too boomy and inarticulate and does not cut the mix.

And a number before that...North, Pitt (Elder and Younger), Palmerston...no big deal--any reasonably informed American ought to know who the leader of our closest ally is. You know, we Americans used to be part of the U. K. Our histories are quite intertwined. Sounds to me like a bit of British arrogance toward supposedly "ignorant" Americans. We're not all as ignorant as you seem to be implying.
