- Todmobile with it´s rockestra SinfoniaNord www.sinfonianord.is/ and the choir Hljómeyki performed the masterpiece Awaken written by Howe/Anderson "Awaken" with Jon Anderson in Iceland 2013.
The line "Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me" I think of my Mom that passed away last June as I was a rebellious kid and took off a lot..I see her standing beside me ..makes me cry.
The Most Incredible Version of Awaken ever...
That is absolutely one of the most stunning versions of Awaken ever - absolutely brilliant!
I have seen YES live 23-times. I named my first born son Christopher Gabriel after Chris Squire and Peter Gabriel. Awaken is one of my 2 or 3 top YES songs. I LOVE YES. Jon sounds awesome! This was beyond amazing, THANK YOU!!!!!
Scott Allan Great name choice and reason!
Sorry to break it to you, but this song is garbage, uninspired, formulaic garbage. This is one cliché after another, Yes repeating itself shamelessly, basically Jon alone promoting it as a _great sing_ not even his own vocals are great. Of course it'd be a superb song if the authors were some previously unknown band, or a pop band. But unfortunately this is basically _they best they could do do without Bruford,_ and it shows. People who actually think this is a great song have little to none understanding of musical structure, orchestration or even basic musical theory. Either that or they don't know the entire corpus of Yes'.

Sorry to break it to you, but you don't need a musical degree to appreciate music. I guess that's why jazz is appreciated almost exclusively by persons who studied music theory, whereas almost everyone else thinks it is musical jerking off (which is not the case for classical music). I mean musicians fawn all over Coltrane's "Giant Steps", but to be honest, it doesn't tell me anything. It might have all the right chords, progressions, combinations and whatnot, but it simply lacks soul.
@@KauanRMKlein Don't try and be a pretentious prick - it's showing.
The gates of Heaven itself opened wide during this performance....and Jon was granted admittance!!
This is just triumphant and glorious... All hail Jon Anderson and Yes. This choir and band do a fantastic job..
13:40 to 14:40 is surely the greatest cadence in rock history...
Absolute genius
This is absolutely my favorite live version of this beautiful Yes masterpiece ever.
A shout out to all performers. One of the best performances I've heard of awaken.
WOW.......................WOW. This is my favourite Yes song of all time and I didn't think anyone other than Anderson,
White, Wakeman, Howe and Squire (RIP) could do it justice, but this is a truly amazing version. Utterly, utterly brilliant.
A prog masterpiece performed to perfection!!
I have seen Yes, with Jon perform this song on many occasions - this version is quite incredible. Jon's delivery is quite perfection - this must have been a Magical Concert to have attended!!!
This is pure magic. I've heard this song 100s of times, as well. All the singers and orchestration.....words can't do it justice.......
Greatest version of one of Yes' greatest songs. This just soars.
Just unbelievable. What a beautiful piece of music and so PERFECTLY done by Tod and the orchestra. Amazed at how Jon Anderson can still sound so fresh after so long. THANK YOU for this.
Wow... John has never sounded better... Great rendition...
Can't help the tears. Thanks for this masterpiece!
I think Jon knows this is the best backing of musicians that he has ever had. The BEST performance of AWAKEN I have ever seen!
Same for me! Astonished in my vacation! Completeness!
Silly - he enjoyed the backing vocals and orchestration - backing band - amateur
That is one amazing, legit performance. Great musicianship, Jon sounds wonderful, choir is transcendent. A beautiful surprise.
Having listened to this over and over again this has to be the best thing on CZcams. It's always been an incredible song but this orchestrated version is simply breathtaking from johns still incredible voice, to the backing singers and all the musicians it should be compulsory that every child sees this so they can understand what true music is all about instead of the utter dross in today's charts ..... thank you John and Todmobile
Jon, Tod musicians; First off, Thank You for your gifts and sharing them with us. Jon, it took a few years for your masterwork to be written. It has taken a few more years for the master performance to convey it's full message. It has come full circle, and as we all know; a circle never ends. May the spirit that lifts this song, for all ears to hear, never end.
A Sunday Mass for the New Age ... a truly sublime expression of spirit through music.
Best Awaken ever. With great Orchestra and choir. For my Opinion . . . . . .
Потрясающе!!! Андерсон бриллиант!!! Yes моя самая любимая группа ,уже на протяжении более 45 ти лет!!! классика!
Perhaps the greatest performance of one of the greatest visionary songs in musical history. A W A K E N !
Bring Todmobile to the USA. Forget the fade four. I am up for some freshness like this! Go Jon!
I can't get enough of this version. It's really to die for. 🤯😵
Absolutely incredible. This is my favorite piece of Yes music of all, and the performance here very much does it justice. *Extremely* well done!!
Absolutely stunning. This could be the best version of Awaken that has ever been played. Spine tingling in every way. I'm speechless.
Extraordinary! Jon seems to be the only Yes member to retain all his powers and even get better with age. That was truly magical.
Wakeman too.
The more watch/hear this version of "Awaken," the more I'm convinced its one of the best ever!
Absolutely amazing version !!!! The guitar player is the certified true copy of Steve Howe !!! His playing is very close of Steve's playing... And Jon........angel's voice !! ;-))
Absolutely superb!! The Sun will lead us Our reason to be here Classic YES 😊
Do you. Know me from the wolf game
THANK YOU JON!!!! I'M CRYING!!!! NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!
TheTod10 - I can't stop watching/listening to this.... I am on 41 times and counting... it is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. Cheers to you!
Blimey! What a wonderful performance...
How remarkable that Jon, though he was betrayed and abandoned by his life-long partners in Yes (whilst he lay in hospital at death's door, no less), has nevertheless been able to both maintain his personal and artistic integrity, and regain his health and his voice; all of which reaffirms the indisputable fact that Jon always has been, and forever will remain, the guiding soul, spirit, and one-and-only true visionary of the concept and music of Yes.
czcams.com/video/NPwOSRuLVZo/video.html How are you anyway:)
WOW. Just WOW! That is probably the best live version of this song.
This song / performance provides the listener a portal / conduit into a higher more loving dimension that we can only dream of.
This is quite possibly the greatest thing on CZcams :-)
Affirmative :)
+Bogfish Runt You might like Jon and Vangelis - have you tried??
+Christopher Jones, Yes, I think I have just about everything Mr Anderson has sung. It's quite a large collection!
I tend to agree :)
Thank you Jon. So beautiful. I cried.
Just absolutely SUBLIME!!! Literally brought a tear to this old linebacker's eye.
Jon Anderson is GREAT I hope one day he joins YES again Todmobile is also wonderful LOVE to Iceland from Paris.
Beautiful, incredible, moving. Words can't express...
Always Amazing and as a live performance NOTHING compares ! Truly a Heavenly Experience.
Amazing work of Todmobile and Mr. Jon. Lots of Life in every note!
I had tears in my eyes. Enveloped in Bliss....ty for posting.
wow...wow...wow.....what can I say. INCREDIBLE! This version really matches the original version, not only in music, sound and performance, but also in the spirit of the song. Music to stay in heaven. Congratulations Todmobile
Takk:)
I feel so fortunate to have lived at the time as Yes and especially Jon Anderson. Those who were with Bach, Mozart...it must have been a similar feeling.
Yes is good. Yes with Jon even better. Todmobile with Jon is something else:)
Greenman Wood Amen!
Being a Yes fan since 1970, how have I never seen this! ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Better than the studio version
Whenever I feel out of touch with God, I watch this. Brilliant performance!
Tranquility Base , definitely a spiritual resonance. 🙂
Wow. These guys nailed it. Spot on. And Jon's voice sounded great. Glad to see he's still got it.
Ir i could I'd vive INE million thumbs up. This could be the best symphonic progressive masterpiece ever. Angelical voice of Jon. Thank you so muchos forma this.
Thank you Tod, for ceating such a wonderful forum for Jon's unique talent. Your arrangement is stunning and superb. You nailed the guitar with not just the notes, but incredible emotion.I love your orchestra. Thanks too to all of the wonderful performers.This brings the Magic that Jon always shares with everyone back to our beautiful world. Best ever!
Chris Squire is smiling somewhere.
Todmobile also performed Heart of the sunrise, Roundabout, State of independence and Owner of a lonely heart that night with Jon
Oh, can you please, please please post those videos as well?
Please, oh please post!
Would have loved to have been there for that!
Tell us what dvd this is released on or how we obtain a copy of all performances and they will sell many many copies of that dvd.
TheTod10 I just watched Heart of the Sunrise. It was great.
This truly shows what an immense talent Jon Anderson is. His contribution to popular music is undeniable and will be remembered long after we are gone. This performance is flawless and magical in every way and it makes me so happy to see him perform with such command and positive emotion.
IMHO..the best live version of Awaken ever! :)
Best live performance of Awaken ever! With extra kudos to the guitarist for nailing every note! 🎸😎🏄♂️
All hats off. The guitar guy is a generator! Jon is present, but the guitar guy is certainly the heart of this sunrise. Jon, look around.
To see so musically talented people into this...is outstanding..Thank You Yes...For making this world a better Place...God bless
Stunning, Resplendent, Electrifying, Transcendent.
An unparalleled Masterpiece!
All the (appropriate) adjectives! :)
I don't think Jon Anderson has ever sounded better than on this recording, so keep going Jon! Please bring this entire Todmobile and friends team over to the UK! Perhaps you can share a lineup with Steve Hackett and blow us all away, Genesis and Yes fans alike. Jon, these guys and gals did justice to your musical works.
Speechless...this version rivals the original and in some ways surpasses it. A job well done!
Couldn't agree more.
They NAILED IT!!!!!! Amazing performance
Absolutely Dealio TV! Incredible performance.
One of the greatest versions of awaken ever!!!
Sublime! Thank you for bringing this beautiful pesente to all Yes fans. Please more of this
It was a magical night......
+TheTod10 PERFECT!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE
What amazing things you have done!
yes, it is obvious for our pleasure (and yours ;-)
Very beautiful. The one that got away from the Symphonic Tour of 2001. And choir to boot. The choral element often overlooked as a classic part of some of the best vintage symphonic rock pieces.
This is amazing! Jon must be one of the happiest people to have ever lived.
Fantastic!!!
Stay strong against the Covid-19!!!!
Cant stop watching this, such a stellar interpretation of an ethereal song! Comparisons to the original are pointless really, all the performers are visibly moved by the involvement in the experience especially Jon! The gift of music!
spot on
Blown away.... BLOWN AWAY...! Beautiful folks...! Beautiful!! Jon!
Wonderful. Thanks to Jon and Todmobile for bring this to us.
What a wonderful setting for the most beautiful male voice in rock.
In my opinion, Yes is the best band ever. Awaken is the best song of Yes and this is the best version of Awaken you've ever heard. So I just heard the best music that I hear in my life. Thank you for this, wonderful
Thank you so very much for this EXTRAORDINARY performance! Please, if at all possible, upload the other YES songs.
Probably the best live performance of this piece.
That's the best version of that, that I've ever heard. Jon's voice just gets better and better.
That. Was. Simply. Incredible. Speechless!
One word.....WOW. No one can replace Jon.
Transcending! Jon is Yes!★★★★★★★★★★And this Symphony is the best I've heard in quite a long time!
Mr Anderson's favourite Yes song, and mine too.
frepi Me three!
WOW, WHAT A VOICE IS THAT! AND WITH HIS 70 yrs
These Todmobile recordings have been a revelation as I have replayed them over the last year. As a lifetime Yes and Genesis fan I have enjoyed myriad versions of songs and lots of live band lineups, but I have to say that your Awaken is amongst the very best. Obviously having Jon there is the making of the session, but I cannot imagine that Chris, Steve, Rick or Alan could begrudge the sheer quality of the musicianship. Congratulations.
Thank you:)
OMG...... listening again! WOW AMAZING!
desde argentina gracias a CZcams se puede disfrutar estos conciertos
Je viens de découvrir cette vidéo ! je suis surpris c'est magnifique ! Jon le seul mec de YES présent !bravo .....
I found this a couple years ago and play it a LOT. everyone did an awwwsum job of making the awaken experience truly awakening!
Planet JT Awe-Waken
What a... Gift, to have been present at this... Live and wonderful.... Concert*
This is absolutely fabulous. The orchestra, the choir and of course Anderson's voice are stunning!
I can't wait for "Supper's Ready" earlier this year with Steve Hackett
Update: After viewing this wonderful piece several times, I must say: The musical Oscar for a supporting act goes to the nameless blonde violinist. She looks fantastic and serious!
Uwe Pflaumbaum coming up soon I promise
Incredible. An amazing performance and arrangement of a song I thought could never sound any better.
The single greatest piece of music ever written, my opinion.
Thanks for posting this amazing version of "Awaken" by YES performed by Jon Anderson & Todmobile...beautiful & extraordinary...brought tears to my eyes.
We who where there all know that this night was "special"
Ultimate....
"Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me
Like the time I ran away
Turned around and you were standing close to me....."
What a MASTERPIECE! I imagine I will hear this in Heaven!
In the opening scenes of the movie "The Three Amigos" Joe Mantegna (as Harry Flugleman) delivered one of the most quotable lines in cinema history. "We messed with the formula and we paid the paid the price." I think Jon's former bandmates should watch The Three Amigos and contemplate long and hard about "The Formula." You go, Jon!
Well said Vicki, Jon is the heart of Yes.
What an incredible and magical way to start my day!!!! Today is the first time I listened to this amazing performance all the way through, I think from this moment on nothing can go wrong, at least with my attitude and fir the duration of this day.
Not to be rude, but the guitar player in this video is playing this much better than Steve Howe currently does, maybe Steve should give him a listen.
Dos Das You aren't being rude; you've merely stated an uncomfortable truth: "the guitar player in this video is indeed playing this tune far "better than Steve Howe currently does"!
That was soooooooo amazing! Love!!! Thank you so much for performing this and sharing it with us. What a gift!
OMW! Wow. Even after decades of listening to Yes, that was... wow!
If you really like our video please share it. Spread the "word":)
Absolutely above and beyond...
