    Is it just me, or does Jon sound better than ever? Amazing. Can't wait!!!!!

      JON es uno de los pocos casos que con casi 80 años (setiembre 2024) conserva su voz. No ha ocurrido lo mismo con otras leyendas (Plant, Charly García, Elton Jhon, etc)
      🙏🏻🎵🙏🏻

    Jon is solid as ever, and he's finally found a band that can not only play the classics, but covey their spirit. Match made in Heaven.

    He is like wine, getting better and better as time passes. And the band is superb! Long live Jon!!! This is what the real YES should sound like!

      There is no more “real” Yes. Unless you consider aging, tired-sounding Steve Howe real Yes.

    Jon Anderson looks great and sounds even better. His timeless songs fill my soul with joy ever since I was a young boy. Steve Howe too. ❤🎵😊

    This is going to be a long tour for Jon. Hope his health and voice hold out for the entire run. It's a shame they're not coming to the PNW, but I'm glad they're doing as many shows as they are.

    The Voice of YES leading the 'New' band of Yesmen. The argument has been YES has had many different members, now YES is a whole new band and not a 2nd rate tribute act. It's a new/clean beginning for the mighty YES (Imho).

    I can’t believe how great Jon still sounds , this is awesome stuff and far better than er “Yes” in its current form. The band of geeks truly know how to play Yes songs and more 👌🏻👍🏻

    They sound as phenomenal as I remember seeing them in 70's! Identical in replicating that 70's foundational sound. Stunning, Spectacular, Wonderful!!!~~

    I'm hard pressed to think of a vocalist whose voice has held up as strongly as Mr. Anderson's. Stellar performance with wonderful energy.
    Not trying to stir the pot here, but I think his former musical partner should take note. Thanks for the upload.

    I went to see the "Real" Yes last night. Dont worry Jon your crown is safe. It was like watching your favourite football team with only 2 good players. I honestly felt like walking out when the Buggle tried to play some of the keyboard solo's, the bass player sounded ok but there's no need for him to walk about like Chris Squire used to. I Can't wait for Jon to bring this band over the water. Glad i went to see Rick Wakeman earlier in the year.

    I caught this show when they came through CT. I saw Yes in Madison Square Garden in 1977. The musicianship of The Band Geeks is astounding. They are not imitating, they are the Real McCoy. Lightyears better than Steve’s various reincarnations, which is sad to say. Anderson IS Yes.

      Howe should have to forfeit his rights to Yes for selling tickets to see a very poor representation. Steve Howe put beautiful music together with Jon and I love his guitar on all those great albums but I’m sorry,his current band is lifeless.

    They're playing very well, and how great is it to have Jon singing so well at 79... but dropping the pitch a half step on all of these old tunes really changes the character the songs.

    • @rocinante12
      @rocinante12 5 місяців тому

      @@irical100 Not, it's not. They're playing it a half step lower, as they are also doing with Awaken and Yours Is No Disgrace. If you want, try matching the songs up with the recordings.

    Love the song great job But Chris is so capable of doing the Rick part at about 13 minutes in. Why do they not show case that? When he played with the Band Geeks in their studio he did it full. The live harder version perfectly. Only thing for me that is hard to deal with
