- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Louis Molino III drum solo is followed by ARW performance of Lift Me Up (02:35) (from Yes 1991 Union album) and And You And I (10:00) (from Close To The Edge 1972). Jon Anderson nails the vocals like the original recording. Rick Wakeman's Mellotron string lines are majestically beautiful.
Former Yes band members Jon Anderson, guitarist Trevor Rabin and keyboardist Rick Wakeman haven't played together since the Yes Union Tour in 1991. Twenty five years later, ARW are touring North America. ARW was live in concert for An Evening Of Yes Music And More at the Orpheum Theater, Los Angeles, CA on November 22, 2016 backed up by Lee Pomeroy of Jeff Lynne's ELO on bass guitar and Louis Molino III on drums.

Jon's voice is a gift and at 72 still has the magical qualities that made Yes so wonderful to listen to over and over again.
I still have no idea why people go to gigs and talk through them. I mean. Bask in the music people. You have the rest of your lives to chat. You're in the presence of greatness!
THIS! There's a video on here of Shinedown in a guy's freaking apartments singing. People are just talking in the background. I'm like, you know not what you do.
Jon Anderson is Happy again.Thank you guys for the music.
Wakeman is the ultimate medieval keyboardist. Love it!
Oh, my god!!!
Amazing! no words to describe how is wonderful to see Yes music so revigorated...
My fave for 44 years and this is one of the best recordings of one of the best versions EVER. Thank you so much. This music is desparately needed at this time. One of the most powerful of the 20th century!
Your comment is much appreciated. Thanks. Yes music live forever on.
Magnetron33 I totlly agree ..Absolutely in need of the ultra spiritual music .
YES
Magnetron33
Trevor's Guitar and Vocals are still Awesome
He seems to always give a Great Performance. Happy to see Anderson Wakeman Rabin still Making Music Together
Rock on!
Great drummer !!
ARW is super !👍
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is YES.
it is nice when rick smiles together with trevor. it's seems like they having fun on this tour.
I know, right?? They all look like they're having a genuinely good time - I'm sorry I missed this tour; I would have preferred seeing ARW to contemporaneous Yes.
@@hubbsllc It was the same with Squier. Trevor is a team player and there is lots of band communication in the line ups with him in.
So awesome to see them together and sounding great, and so darn recently, just over a month ago. They look healthy and happy and the performance was just wonderful. I missed them on this tour but am making an effort not to miss it the second time around if it happens (crossing fingers, would also *love* to hear new material from *this* combo). And You And I was as great as I ever remember having seen them at least a dozen times over the years. LONG overdue on the Hall of Fame nod, great to see it finally happened.
This is astonishingly good, THIS IS YES.
Next step for these guys is to release an album of new, high end prog material.
Thank you for posting, marvelous indeed.
Jon s voice is so beautifull and he sings amazlingly....i was 8 in 1983 so i m a Yes owner fan ....it was so pure to the young boy i was and discovering the 70 s Yes when i was 15 and so unespecting as a young musician hears ....Yes music is the best one more spiritual than Genesis that i love too .
Out of all the videos on UA-cam this one sounds the best.
What a great rhythm section. That's the real difference between this YES and the other Yes.
BIG drum sound from Lou Molino. Was great to see them live.
I was at the Akron show, this song made my night!!!
More Yes than Yes! Anderson and Wakeman...and Rabin...the real deal. This was enjoyable to watch as opposed to the reanimated corpse that masquerades as Yes these days. Long live ARW!
the whole problem anderson,wakeman,and rabin should re unite with that corpse,it would be a whole lot better,than what is now.
I'd rather Rabin wear a HAT than do that awkward combover etc.
But they sound a MILLION TIMES BETTER than Howe's YES cover band. YIKES.
Steve Howe is no corpse and that really is a detestable comment. Rabin isn't a pimple on Howes ass when it comes to guitar playing...just sayin'
Rick Jones I agree with you completely. However, when I read "reanimated corpse", I didn't have to think very hard to figure out who you guys were talking about. I'm probably going to hell
Jon Anderson’s voice is YES and marks any band that plays Yes music as the best.
So good to see Jon up there with a smile on his face, and to hear his sweet voice. =)
Jon and Trevor have a great vocal blend
thats why albums like 90215 ,Big Gen and Talk were,in my opinion,superb 80's YES...They used and invented some technologies and had Jon, Trevor AND Chris singing..as good a trio as has EVER recorded music.
Thaks a lot for posting this awesome version, I only knew the Apollo live version !
Thanks for listening
Ugh god. That Apollo collection is bulls***. Great performances smothered in fake audience noise. I'd rather listen to these random fan recordings from various gigs. CalVid has some great stuff. Should subscribe.
I saw ARW YES in Albany just recently. See feel and hear the love between the band members. Jon is Angel and sounds as good as you could ever dream of. Love these guys to all eternity.
The bottom end is amazing, great recording, thanks
Jon Anderson was singing so well here! Great performance!
I always appreciate someone taking the time to hold a camera and record a complete tune. Thank you. In the future may I make a suggestion that you turn off the AUTO-AUDIO LEVEL.That is what's causing the flutter in the recording's volume.
They're simply amazing
That same joy exuded from his face when they performed in Atlanta this past year. Love it! :)
OMG I was so fortunate to see this version of Yes and they were amazing!!! Take note Steve Howe and the Novices, masquerading as Yes
This sounds excellent
Great rendition as well
ahh glad i found this.
august 26th stockton i will be there :}}
thanks this is TIMELESS MUSIC.
first ime i heard this along with discovering rush was a musically transformative time in my life.
Iranian kid in boarding school had a bitchin stereo and had all the yes rush floyd king crimson and.........billy thorp.
good times in a bad place.
Thank you! I missed this tour and your videos were the next best thing
The DW drum kit is beautiful. I still have my late husbands custom DW kit.
That is awesome!
When I heard the drum intro I was expecting Diamond David Lee Roth to materialize on the drum riser & make his (in)famous wing-legged leap as the band went into Hot For Teacher!
haha exhagerate
Love "Lift Me Up" since the first time I ever heard it - live on the Union tour. So powerful and positive and really done in the spirit of "Union."
I am not a big yes fan but union had good songs on it: lyft me up, i would have waited forever, shock to the system, ankor watt, without hope you can't start the day, miracle of life? and others.
Great job on the video. Yours are among the best in sound and video. Thank for sharing. I taped a little bit at the Philadelphia show, but I was so memorized I just wanted to be absorbed with the experience of the moment!
Your comment is appreciated. It's for the love of Yes music.
I tried to shoot a little bit in Nashville just for mementos...no intention of posting anywhere...I was in the freaking balcony...but the usher Gestapo descended on me after about 30 seconds. They were busy little bees at that show.
Sensacional 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Loved this video. Saw Yes three times in the 1970s with P Moraz on keyboards than when Rick Wakeman rejoined them. Jon Anderson sounds great here and Wakeman still plays great.
97 GTR T-shirt on Trevor. Reminds me of Miami in 89!!
Lee Pomeroy is clearly the go to bass player in rock circles. He toured with Steve Hackett's band when Nick Beggs wasn't.available. I think he was also with Rick in the English Rock Ensemble at Hampton Court Six Wives gig. He is also an accomplished sessions and big band player. He was in Diamond Jubilee backing band. Great musician, very nice guy. Louis is just awesome!
He's in Jeff Lynn's ELO too.
Uplifting song, in a thoughtful way. It rings of future hope inspired by heart plodding through the travails yet unrelenting in resolution seeking better tomorrows. Nice to see this live version of it. Wish the gang would get together for UNION tour II.
WGTR .....one of my old favorites
Heisenberg on drums.
LOL
Thanks for this. Great lineup.
Watch and weep, Gollum. This is the only Yes worth seeing.
I'd argue Howe looks more like the Crypt Keeper than Gollum.
I can't watch one of my favorite 70s guitarists use all Line 6 gear in what's basically a tribute band.
I don't care who Chris Squire chose as his replacement, they play super slow and basically use Alan White and Tony Kaye as props.
@@shawnmcvey7789 I thought he was Skeletor.
@@BlackWhirlies Skeletor is jacked. Howe...needs some protein.
should have given rabin more screen time. none of this would be happening without him. but thank you for the upload.
Beautiful rendition.
Gotta love the T-shirt Trevor is wearing if your from So. Florida!!!! Wow, forgot about that station.
this is fantastic!
With the amazing Lee Pomeroy on bass....
The real YES is back!
I call a spade a spade. Anyone who says a band without Squire, Howe , Bruford or White is "The real YES" is self-evidently retarded. There is no "real yes" now that Squire is gone, just two tribute bands with varying numbers of ring-ins. Calling either of them "real" is ridiculous.
some is better than none, who cares about names. Saw this and Hackett who plays all the old Genesis tunes. Enjoy all and be thankful that these guys are all touring and still alive. None of this other nonsense.
I wonder there are so many retards liking your stupid comment...According to you the real Yes band is supposed to have two drummers? As long as there is a key founding member (Anderson), and two other very important members such as Rabin and Wakeman, it perfectly legitimate by any means. Other band with only relevant member (Howe, despite his sloppy performances...) by now, has much less credibility to carry the flag of Yes.
Štěpán Romášek "Two drummers"? What on earth are you talking about? Please learn what the word "or" means. I said "Bruford or White". Which part of that is too complicated for you? Both have earned their place as real Yes drummers. Either is fine with me. What is not fine, is having neither of them. Idiot.
Thanks for an insight, now I can see even Yes fans include many varied characters, some of them actually not much civilized.
Wow, perfect
UNION il mio album preferito degli YES, FANTASTICI.
I...LOVE....THIS...SONG!
Ole king rick wakeman and his capes
YES.....Yes, así es.........son siempre de lo mejor!!!
Que en pas descanses Chris.
Man...Walkman must weigh 300 + lbs....No wonder he's still wearing that KORNY Cape from the 70's. Most SURPRISING ... I'm not missing so much .... Chris Squire's Incredable Bass....as I'm missing his backing Voice...it really worked with Jon's perfect sound. A Sad Hollow SHELL of what was Once...'THE BAND'....in the 1970....There was nothing like THEM.... LIVE back in the Day..with that breath-taking perfect line-up of TALENT....they where.... Stunning ....they really were....Stunning. "ALL THINGS MUST PASS" G.H. It's all very BITTER SWEET. Good job on the Video Cal.
Oh YES!!!
As such a YES fan from back in the early 70s i cannot wait for Sept concert in NY ARW tour .Bottom line is if you love there music its a must see .I seen them 1st time when i was 16 and taking my 16 year old for his first time its You and I......
Jon nails it every time! I dare any 72 year old or 18 year old for that matter to match that. Two master composers Rabin and Wakeman all having such comradery. And what a treat to finally see Louis with them after those great albums from the 80s with Rabin & Kim Mitchell!
Anderson and Wakeman still got it. :)
I find it so funny that Trevor wears a t-shirt and doesn't pay attention to his hair while Wakeman wears capes
And ?
Irony: "Lift Me Up" is one of the best Yes songs from Union, yet the group is all fragmented between Yes and ARW. :(
And you and I, es el mejor tema de YES, y para mi, los dos que sienten este tema son Jon y Rick, si os fijáis, cierran los ojos sintiendo cada nota de esta maravillosa canción, cosa que los demas integrante de YES ( Steve, Chris, Alan) no lo he visto hacer en ningún vídeo. son muy grandes ARW, espero verlos en directo
Watching Lee Pomeroy playing a Rickenbacker I just realized Chris Squire was so big that this kind of bass looked like a little toy when he had it on.... LOL
It's fascinating to realize SOME Musicians have special LUCK based on things like HEIGHT.
(EX: had Bono or Steve Perry been TALL instead of short, they'd not have such soaring pipes!)
Had Squire NOT been a giant ,his bass playing wouldn't have been so aggressive and iconic!
What is so amazing is Lee plays a left- handed bass left-handed but strung as a right-handed bass. Hendrix played a right-handed Fender Strat left-handed but is strung as a left-handed guitar.
Nerd comment: Squire's Ricky had a lot of it shaved off to make it smaller and lighter... so it's an optical illusion sort of.
Saw ARW in Salt Lake City and they were great. You won't get some of these songs with the current Howe line up of YES. I have never seen an official YES concert, but I consider ARW a YES concert. Rabin wrote all their hits in the 80's including their biggest hit ever "Owner of a Lonely Heart" so if this line up isn't a version of YES then I don't know what is.
I have seen Yes on tour many times Ryan with all the different members since the 1970'S. Now with the 2 factions of Yes music out there now, like you mentioned, ARW is Yes. Trevor Rabin is way better live than Howe. All the times I've seen Trevor with Yes, he interacts with the audience-fans. Steve Howe who is great, has always been like a dead fish on stage. ARW is YES. Also Steve Howes Yes, has no original members in the band since the great Chris Squire died. Not even Steve Howe is a "Original" member. But they carry the official YES name which isn't right. ARW is YES. You saw YES. By the way, when YES came out with 90125 and toured in 1984 with Rabin in the line up, they were awesome. Check out those video's and the 1991 Union Tour video's with Howe, Rabin and every member that played in YES up till then of 1991.
You say this as a comment on a video where Rabin doesn't even bother to try to do Howe's intro to And You and I, because he knows he can't. They're both good at different things, and they both know it. Howe won't play Rabin's 80s style guitar solos, because he knows he can't do that style. Rabin won't do some of the idiosyncratic things Howe does, because he knows he can't. He refuses to bend notes, use a whammy bar, etc. He's much more about precision, and Rabin is more about speed and flashiness. I much prefer Howe's style of the two, especially on Howe's original material, but I can respect them both.
As for Howe's focus on the music and Rabin's on jumping around in a way that distracts from the music, well, you can enjoy something that I think detracts, but that's your preference. Howe seems much more professional to me and more concerned about quality. I want to see the band play the music, not dance around in silly ways and make faces at the audience.
And the current Yes lineup sounds much more like Yes than this group. Sherwood can do Squire. I didn't like what he added on guitar on the Open Your Eyes tour, but his bass work on the current tour is excellent and sounds like Squire, who was his mentor for decades. Pomeroy is good, but he doesn't do Squire as well. And Alan White is no Bruford, but he does a better job than this drummer, I think. The only Yes material Wakeman can't do is Moraz's stuff, but Downes can play that and Wakeman's material. And the current singer of Yes basically is just a younger Jon Anderson with more energy. I think of ABWH and the current Yes as genuine Yes lineups, but this seems like more of half a Yes lineup. The other members just don't have the Yes feel like the newer members of the current Yes group.
"Downes can play Wakeman's material". So can I, and just as poorly as Downes!
+Jeremy Pierce I have seen yes in many incarnations since the tormato tour in the fall of '78 which was the bands absolute peak live
other than the fact that bruford drummed circle's around white in '72 and since as evolved
10fold where as Alan white is a shell of his former self, that is 1 of the main problems with the current yes lineup. at any rate howe is the sole reason anyone should even bother to c the current yes. I will admit
that Sherwood has nailed Chris's tone even though I have not seen yes w/out Chris but I have seen the yes medley by circa in 2009 and they/he kicked the f'n shit out of the current yes lineup as well. as far as my main reason 4 commenting howe is 1 of my all time favorite gtr players. BUT Trevor Rabin succeeds far better at playing classic yes gtr parts than Howe does OOALH and as far as saying Wakeman can't play Moraz's parts what r u smoking? granted Geoff also runs circles around Tony Kaye (too bad the Eddie Jobs on thing fell through on the 90125 tour (check out U.K live ).)
All in all any yes is still 100 times better than the shit bands r putting out 2day so let's just be grateful and thankful that we now have twice the opportunity 2 hear yes music live
Sorry but for my money the best and classic Yes lineup was Anderson, Howe, Squire, Wakeman and Bruford. Arguably the most talented group of musicians to ever play and compose together. To bad they only did 2 albums together While I appreciate Rabin's technical prowess he's nowhere near the guitarist that Howe is or was. I believe Howe received Guitar Player Mag Guitarist of The Year Award 5 times. (I believe 5 is the most they'll allow) Furthermore Howe mastered so many different instruments including pedal steel, mandolin and banjo. Finally Howe is a lock to be in the top 15 rock guitarists of all time. Rabin would be lucky to be in the top 40.
Wow Jon sounds amazing. And Adam West can shred!
Rick is looking like a grumpy old man. Jon has aged so gracefully, and has conserved his voice nicely, a pleasure to see (although he sings several passages lower than in the original).
Can't wait for the release of this on DVD. As to the endless quarreling about whether this is really YES or just MAYBE, not featuring Howe and all that, well, I just skip that sort of comment since it's a distraction from the sheer enjoyment this music gives me.
Lee Pomeroy just kills it...
The guys voice has not changed a bit.. Glad to see his health is back hopefully for many more years
Had seen ARW a few days after their first US tour started...Lou and Trevor were a little rusty and gluey, but by this time it looked like they had all the bugs worked out. The second tour, they were a finely tuned machine. Side note, folks - Lou played on Rabin's Can't Look Away album in '89.
That Ric looks like a mammoth on the bass player! Chris made his look the size of a ukulele. 😃
Best thing they played this tour. And yes, Heart of the Sunrise RIPPED. This one was just sublime, though.
Great stuff.....
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes are class
Thank god...
The ONLY thing missing on " And You and I" was Howe's use of the Slide Hawaiian Guitar he uses, but Rabin did an admirable job. And Anderson sounds like he did from 40 years ago! Just amazing!! And LouisMolino III on drums... what a cross between Bruford and White! Great addition!!..
One of the very few tours I didn’t see & just hated that. The dvd is full of great moments, seemed they enjoyed it too.
Yes with Rabin is a totally different beast to Yes without. Look at the interplay and communication between the band members here and on all the ARW stuff. It's the same on the clips from the Talk tour. Squier clearly loved playing with him too.
Trevor's guitar and head shines
Best armature video i'v seen, 30' from sounds great, if farther echo ruins it.
Appreciate that
Yesssssssssss!!!
Thought they were going to bust into Hot for Teacher there for a second.
The first minute of this drum solo sounded like my boots in the dryer...
For a minute I thought he was going to bust out with "Hot For Teacher"!
Love to hear Jon Anderson sing some Van Halen
+Jocelyn Lee I would die laughing since David Lee Roth is like the polar opposite of Jon Anderson's chill persona. It would be hilarious!
Thomas Thomas Kiso DLR has the range of a toad fart
If you check out Trevor Rabin's "Looking for a Lady (Wolfman)" from 1981 ... ummmm someone may have gotten inspired to do Hot For Teacher 3 years later. Just saying.
GOD DAMN IT MR MOLINO
I read online that Anderson, Rabin, and Wakeman are working together to put out an album under ARW. If they succeed in getting it out it maybe interesting since they are so far not signing with any record label.
Live Line-Ups I've Experienced:
*Big Generator* Tour
*ABW&H* Tour
*Union* Tour
_Soooo_ ...yah, pretty-much nailed it.
Thanks for the upload, but the major complaint would be keeping the camera on Rick Wakeman with his eyes closed, while Trevor Rabin is playing a fantastic solo on And You And I, and then only panning back when Jon Anderson starts singing again.
Very obvious who the favourites are, but damn. You could have shown Rabin playing a solo, rather than show us Wakeman didn't get enough sleep the night before.
I believe the same bass player (Lee Pomeroy) plays with Steve Hackett in the Genesis Revisited configuration. The one at Hammersmith (live) is worth viewing for those crossover Genesis/ Steve Hackett fans. Yes will always be my no.1
NICE video and sound...... which night was this??..... we saw them in Las Vegas and this sounds more relaxed and jammin......Thanks for posting
They did not play together in 1990. Before this year, these three former Yes members had only toured together in 1991 and 1992. (Do your homework and don't trust a faulty press release!) ;)
probably old news, but i notice that Lee Pomeroy has his strings upside down. Probably learned on a right-handed bass as a youngster. Like I said, probably old news. Wish they would come to Australia!
Moby on drums... awesome!
Matic Ritonja ...hahaha
Great to see the bass player playing the 'right' way.... and on a Ricky too..... Sensational to see these guys still going at it... and Jon at 72 years young.... it might of help if Trevor had learnt "And You and I" properly in a few of the crucial bits to my ears though........
Cal vid. How did you record this. Awesome
I can actually hear Lee Palmaroy The bass pedals and all
Whatever Steve says, this is - so to say - an authentic Yes experience - IMO both groups carry some of the Yes spirit, but ARW just seem so much less salty these days
Was this taped at Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix?
These guys definitely have some life left in them, don't they? Although Steve Howe will always be my guitar guru, I can't wait to hear what original tunes ARW comes up with.
babarishka Steve Howe has talent but he is a dick and a walking corpse at this point. Watch a recent Yes concert, there is no energy.
Steve is definitely not the guitarist he used to be. As for his getting old, we all get old - unless we die young. Getting old is not a sin. As for his being a dick, I don't know the guy so I can't say that he is for sure. However, I do greatly resent Yes for dumping Jon Anderson by the wayside when he got sick. You and I don't know the inside scoop re: Yes and Anderson, but it certainly appears to me that the rest of Yes were complete dicks to Anderson. Regardless of the above, Howe will always be my favorite guitarist and rightly deserves a place as one of the great guitarists of all time.
I'm too lazy to go searching for the lineup, anyone know who the lefty on the Ric is? Man am I getting old....
Some non-Chris sounding dude.... Fuck him.
Is this lineup even still together?
Sadly no. I was hoping they would make new music together.
@@billstrohler Agreed. Seen them every time they came through those three US tours - totally crushed that other band; was a little aggravated they weren't able to do a proper album. Older bands new albums usually suck, but Rabin can turn crap into gold, so it'd be worth the purchase.
Jon is touring with Band Geeks now.
