Excellent job! You guys nailed it. It is so good for an older guy like myself who grew up listening to progressive rock hear our next generation of rockers keep this music alive. Long Live Rock!
While there things that could be picked on, we need to remember how difficult this song is. And lastly, these kids are students, so Bravo! Well done mates!!!
Phenomenal! Splendid! FIRE. Keyboardist and lead guitar especially killed it. Loved how the backup singers were dancing around and vibing, too! Great editing of shots as well! Tough song to cover, so wondrous to hear done well, which this was!
Tough song to cover… hats off to these youngins! Kudos to the bass player… guy’s rocking!!! Guitar (black LP) nailing the licks. Vocalist Drummer and keyboard did an excellent job! Thank you! ✌🏼👌👍🏼🥰
A tough song to cover. One of my favorites of all time. That lead singer girl's voice is so smooth and so right. Wow. The whole band is spot on. The keyboard kid nailed it!
The lead vocalist really has talent. I'd love to hear them cover this in the studio where the mix is easier to control. I'm sure it would sound much better, but it's still good. Yes's songs are tough to do.
This was a superb rendition by this young group of musicians. The pretty female vocalist carried this song all the way with fury and talent. There are no easy songs produced by YES. All great musical works of art. I was first introduced to Yes while at prep school in the 70's The level of talent emanating from the School of Rock is boundless. The other dark haired pretty female singer, does a great job nailing the vocals on Avenging Annie. Keep up the great work on old tunes that stand the test of time. You can tell the young musicians appreciate the depth of these old quality tunes. Rock On
Impressive indeed, however I don't think I've ever seen a pair of drumsticks quite that big around before, maybe that's what amateur drum sticks look like, dunno.
PHENOMENAL! My favorite band of over 50 years. These kids showed tremendous talent. Rhythm section was on point. Vocals were excellent. Singing Jon Anderson is not an easy task. She did great. Keys were also fantastic. Wakeman would be proud. Guitar work was incredible. Steve Howe being one of the best guitarists in the world. This band took a very difficult song and made it their own. Video and sound were exceptional! Great venue. This is a video that can be watched over and over and you will see and hear something new every time! Great job by this SoR band! Turn it up, close your eyes, and take the musical journey that is YES!!!
I have to mix a stereo feed from the soundboard with a pair of mics because the guitar and bass ants are so freaking loud on stage, that none of them wind up in the board mix. If guitar and bass players want to be heard, they should turn down their amplifiers.
Brilliant effort, difficult song to master. Special mention to the vocals and bass, extra marks for that Ricky bass tone. The vocalist did a great job, not trying to imitate, but bringing her own flair and voice to the fore. All round(about 😁) great stuff, good to know this music is appreciated by young people today.
I like the fact the singer kept the song within herself, talent/ range. Make the song your own is more than a mantra. Unless you're a tribute band, nothing says that you can't be true to yourself. It just sounds so much authentic when you are not trying to imitate every nuance of the original.
@@manthony1956 Never have i seen a school of rock band use cheat sheets and i have watched hundreds of these videos and have bought dozens of the dvds. She should of learned the words and the song. No excuse!
Ill just say Wowza!!! This is quite an advanced song. Nobody covers it cause you need a whole band of virtuosos and not just a couple of em. From the keyboards to the Bass, Drums, a couple,3 guitars, And of course the vocals n back up. Alot of people kno this song and cant play it with thier band. GREAT JOB GUYS! and if everybody hast already said so... that singer is the coolest lookin chick around. Keep it up peeps
My Lord this is a very difficult song , Jon Anderson voice is so unique and to do a Rick Wakeman well ... , man thats hard . BUT you guys are great to keep this music alive - Thank you !! . You are the future of real music and you are good . ( to whom it may concern - I love the singer :- )
Jon Anderson is a huge fan of the School of Rock program, and has performed with the kids several times. Here's one of my favorites: ua-cam.com/video/iqRXbO5gQEg/v-deo.html
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Thank you so much - it is sooo good and you made me happy !!! here is a link that i wanted to ask you if the girl lead singer appear in other videos - she is a great unique special with her own foot print on preforming a song singer , different like An Angelina Jordan ua-cam.com/video/GlG-vN8i9Qc/v-deo.html
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Thank you for responding , if you happen to see her on any video , if you dont mind please let me know , again thank you very much indeed !!
WOW! Wonferful performance of a song not an easy one! Great to see young talented people playing like the're pros. Good job all, being the bass player and the lead vocals outstanding!
The baselines alone are on a different level Chris squire was an incredible bass player. The whole song very difficult to play but they pulled it off and quite well
Great job with a difficult and complex song...These young people are just a bit older than I was, when I discovered YES in the 70's...If they spend the rest of their lives, devouring the MANY contributions by the band and their offshoots, they'll have spent a productive life...:)... Gotta give props to the keyboard and bassist...That Wakeman solo on the outro is a beast!
Wow that was really good. I'm glad there are some young people out there who can appreciate their music. I've seen them a dozen times starting in the mid 70's. My favorite band.
You just don’t see covers of YES songs, especially roundabout. There is a reason for that, every instrument including vocals is a black Diamond trail. These kids are pros. Very well done. Wonder what they are up too now? Anyone know?
The Bass Player Has Nailed This ; )
This chick kills it. Great gig in the sky... One of the best vocal covers I've ever heard.
The gauntlet is tossed.. Beatles it is!
Talullah nails it on the vocals! This girl is absolutely amazing! Anyone agree?
👇👇👇👇
Totally agree!
No. But maybe...if she could sing on key!
Excellent job! You guys nailed it. It is so good for an older guy like myself who grew up listening to progressive rock hear our next generation of rockers keep this music alive. Long Live Rock!
Tallulah Ruff was Totally Gorgeous and one Amazing Vocalist.
G'wan lass , fantastic voice, what a change to hear someone young belting out classics, great voice and musicians 👌
Absolutely dig this performance! You can hear the bass like a buzzsaw, the way it SHOULD be heard. The young lady nailed the vocals! Great sound!
Big ups to these youngsters for even attempting a tune so complex and demanding. And they did an admirable job!
While there things that could be picked on, we need to remember how difficult this song is. And lastly, these kids are students, so Bravo! Well done mates!!!
You picked one of the toughest bands to cover, did a great job. Highlights everyone's skills, great vocalist.
Exactly!
Phenomenal! Splendid! FIRE. Keyboardist and lead guitar especially killed it. Loved how the backup singers were dancing around and vibing, too! Great editing of shots as well! Tough song to cover, so wondrous to hear done well, which this was!
Great vocals
The spirit of Chris Squire lives in that kid bassist!
Plays the same guitar too. Saw him play this many times. Great cover.

This is a very technical song to do. They did a great job.
Great voice it all sounds great
I have regained my confidence in America's youth
Fabulous job! The singer didn't just imitate. Her personality and a beautiful voice come right through.
I would pay to see this group!
The lead vocalist really has talent. I'd love to hear them cover this in the studio where the mix is easier to control. I'm sure it would sound much better, but it's still good. Yes's songs are tough to do.
Excellent tone on vocals, whole band sounds amazing! Minus the 3 stooges on the singers left.
I just love seeing young people get a cited about the music I was excited about at their age.
Great job ! Smiles all around from a guy who saw Yes live in the ‘70
damn, you're old lol. I'm sure I was listening to them in '72/ '73 so yeah, I'll be old next year ;)
Shredding that bass 🔥

There is just something about those Illinois kids. They crush it every time.
back agin, gotta love the one handed keyboardist!
Wonderful! Every single one of them is terrific! Strong , good lead singer, great voice and range . These kids are bound for greatness.
Highwood,Il. You are just down the road from me. Great local talent
Woo! Great job! Thank you,
Good to see the kids are still rocking it - back to memories of the early 70s
Lead vocal has a great voice strong. ❤ it. Rock on y'all .
Awesome!....digging the old school "cinder block" in front of kick drum
Superb.
following in the footsteps of greatness

I concur with Jeff. You saved me the typig.
@@michaelg3074 Glad i could help.
Watch Steve Howe jam with Les Paul.
Great cover and I have seen "YES & Jon Anderson many times in the Round,this bassist absolutely kill's it Chris Squire would be proud!!!
Wow, a super hard task to capture this song. Well done, overall, I would say. Passion and skill were shown. Yay, youngsters!

I've seen many YES cover bands. None have a singer that can duplicate Jon Anderson. Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!
She had cheat sheets on the floor. She should of learned the song!
@@jeffschielka7845 Knowing how these bands are "assembled" for their performances, the "cheat sheets" should not surprise you.
@@manthony1956 Never have i seen a school of rock band use cheat sheets and i have watched hundreds of these videos and have bought dozens of the dvds. She should of learned the words and the song. No excuse!
What a deep song...these kids kill it...greatly done...wow
What's really nice is to see young kids enjoying playing this classic, with no auto tune just good fun and proper live rock.👍 keep going never give up
Amazing!
Amazing job tackling this tough song…
What is the chick doing now? She has an extremely great voice, she really made this performance perfect for me.
Very nice cover. Lots of potential here. Keep it up 👍

Love the bass sound and the original vocals defending a particular approach. Well done!
The lead vocalists has her own channel and deserves to be followed. Her name is Tallulah Ruff.
Outstanding!!! Great Job by the whole group...
Bass ❤️
I came for the bass. Was not dissapointed. Great job!
To see these young people play yes..its refreshing..good work
Amazing! That is a tough song to play and they nailed it. Girls voice is incredible.
8 cameras, 1 potato mic for audio. Would have loved to see this in person, these kids were fantastic!
I got a board feed, but as usual, because the guitar amps are so loud on stage, very little of the guitar and bass make it into the main speakers.

I've probably seen her before, but I only really recognize the kids from the Chicago and Oak Park locations - like the keyboard player.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Thank you for responding , if you happen to see her on any video , if you dont mind please let me know , again thank you very much indeed !!
This is really good.
Impressive. Vocals were on point. Nice job by all.
20/10 to the bassist
WOW! Wonferful performance of a song not an easy one! Great to see young talented people playing like the're pros. Good job all, being the bass player and the lead vocals outstanding!
I wish I could be this cool
Excellent performance of a difficult song.
Very cool !!
The band would be so proud! Great job!
The bass player is sick!
I hope he gets better.... ; )...:)...
AWESOME. YOU GUYS HAVE ROCKED THIS SONG. You are all blessed and have totally put a smile on my face ROCK ON KIDS
Kids got that bass tone on lock with the ol' tried and true Ric. 🤘🤘
Impressed by the keyboardist. He nailed it all through the song.
this group all have some kick ass skills for this song!
Super Stimme.... Bravo
top!
Wow what a great vocalist!
Amazing performance!!
That's it!! I can't believe they're playing YES.
Kudos to these fine young musicians!
Good job on a really difficult song. Harder than it sounds, for sure. Yes's music is not for beginners.
Yes
"Harder than it sounds"? There is so much going on in this song that no one would ever doubt that it is hard to play.
@@jimrauh3584 agreed. And i've been playing (goofing around) for a while.
The baselines alone are on a different level Chris squire was an incredible bass player. The whole song very difficult to play but they pulled it off and quite well
For a small school, they did a fantastic job on a very difficult song!!
Tue girl has a nice voice, and I love her eyes!
The lead singer has a nice voice that comes close to the original.
She has smoky eyes !!
I would love to hear that singer perform *White Rabbit* in a Grace Slick fashion.
Love the bass line, Chris would have smiled all the way
The Rickenbacker bass has it's own distinct sound, this kid was making it work.
The bassist wasn't just playing it, he was feeling it. Outstanding young man.
DIOS MIO love it
CLEAN
I did not think they could do YES. They did it.
best ever
I’m impressed! Yes of all bands to cover. Wish the audio was better but the guitar player was very good. Steve Howe would be proud.✌️
The kid on bass tore that Rickenbcker a new ass- hole!! Excellent work on a tough song.
These musicians kill it. SOR fosters musical talent. Yes is technically challenging. Roundabout brings back great memories.
Great stuff, playing Yes will make you sweat.
Great job with a difficult and complex song...These young people are just a bit older than I was, when I discovered YES in the 70's...If they spend the rest of their lives, devouring the MANY contributions by the band and their offshoots, they'll have spent a productive life...:)...

what a smoking job on this difficult song....... by all.... take no prisoners.......
Great go at that peeps Difficult song. Well Done from the UK
This is really impressive!
The dude playing bass would make Chris Squire proud!
Great performance
there is still hope
All these kids did a great job
They all sound great! The vocals are outstanding! If the guitarist were playing drums I would swear it's a young Bill Bruford.
Great job on bass. Talullah is awesome. Is that the same kid on keyboards from Great Gig in the Sky? He did not disappoint!
R.I.P. Chris Squire. You are SO missed. YES FOREVER!🌹
Some really great musicians on stage . Well done guys !
