They're getting better and better! I was at Hollywood Hard Rock Last night 10/12/2016 and although there were a couple of minor hiccups the show was a magical and amazing Yes experience. The bass and drums did a fantastic job but there is no doubt that Chris and Bill are missed as in the current Yes lineup. Trevor is a bit rusty and his voice didn't shine as much as it used too back in the day. but I'm sure that will melt away as the tour continues. He gave Jon all the spotlight in that aspect, and I've always loved his voice with Jon's. I was glued to the whole set and enjoyed it a slight more than the Yes concert earlier this year mostly due to Jon being absolutely in top form and Rick being the same old Rick!! What a great time!
I agree, some people like to criticize, but they are all wrong, its the vibes that count, not the sound by itself, its compressed, there is no low end, and I am sure they can do better if the rehearsed for a whole year
So great to see this.. I'm sure it was a magical night for YES devotees.. Interesting that they waited until after Chris Squire's death to make this happen.. I'm sure that had something to do with it.. I have a feeling Jon and Steve don't get along that well these days.. On a side note, Trevor seems to be abusing the hair color lately.. ;-)
YES - oh NO! I don't think the Howe set up have got much to worry about but both bands don't have that magical YES ingredient anymore. Time for the old Wizards to retire and let young warriors grasp the chalice and take YES music to higher vibrations!
It's sad to see that people pay more attention to their phone... and watch the entire concert through the 4 inch screen, rather than experiencing the show. Put your phone down and experience the show.
Thank you for your unsolicited advice. I assume you're aiming that at me since you're watching my video. How ironic! Let me help you understand my perspective - a) Watching my camera screen does not preclude me from listening and enjoying, and I am at a concert mostly to listen to the music (often I close my eyes and just listen - don't you?); b) I can listen and use my camera at the same time - those skills use different parts of my brain; c) I do my absolute best to not interfere with others around me - I have a pocket camera with a small screen, and I don't hold my camera over my head (see my note in the description about the lady's head); d) I only record a few songs per show, usually carefully planned in advance; and e) I get further enjoyment from sharing my videos and the music with others who - for many various reasons - can't see these artists live.
one thing I am sure of, this rhythm section has never played w ea other before. Trevor since 94 so it isn't YEARS of knowledge they yet draw from ea other as a well oiled machine. When were they going to rehearse as ensemble? Jon was just off INVENTION sm tour.... THEY ARE GREAT ON ONY NIGHT......YOU KNOW I AM LEADING TO ..... By the time they get to PHOENIX. 11/20!!!!!! this band will be HOT..... SPOILER .... THE SET LIST IS NOT EVEN CLOSE, CHANGES. SHOOT HIGH AIM LOW ARE ALMOST READY.......just wait it will silence all RJH........
To a lot of fans (who are also genuine YES Fans) this is more Yes than the band allowed to call themselves YES (for legal reasons)...that seems to really upset some people. Surely...all that matters is performance...make up your own mind..but don't fall into the trap of losing your ability to make a judgement based on merit...not on how many shows you saw or how many albums this or that particular lineup has in the bag...it's all nonsense...if Yes produced 21 original albums and only 5 are of the highest calibre...surely those 5 carry more credibility than the other 16 mediocre offerings? Quiz: Name your absolute top 5 YES albums of all time.
Not that bad, the audio is crap, cant hear the bass pedals and the low ends, and compared to Bieber I would listen to any of Yes stuff first, its all in the vibes, close your eyes it it will call ya
andy T why do yes fans reference Bieber all the time? Anyway the problem with being under rehearsed (which is clearly evident here) is that it ruins some of the more iconic passages. And it seems the band has the skill to play the parts. So you either call it jazz or under rehearsed.
In this song the triple-neck bass is fundamental because the music demands fretless, fretted and the odd 6 string too. And I'm not talking about the bassist. Turn off the radio Chris ...
I cant believe I'm disliking a Jon Anderson performance but this is just terrible. The Toddmobile version is a complete opposite. Jon sounds fantastic and the orchestra and choir make this song so excellent!

Great video, thank you!! It was a fantastic concert!
Thanks for sharing! Great quality!! Can't wait to see them at the Grove on 12/2!!
I look forward to the two new albums and their return to Japan in the winter of 2019!
Forever Yes!
The band sounding better every night...few lose notes but the energy is great :)

Few loses notes?? Jazzmen says "Less is More"..Yours, sincerely.
I guess you'd say that 'Yes' and ARW is One Big Entertaining Enterprise.
I just want all of Olias and Journey To Center... that would be the perfect show.
I would buy a ticket to that show in a heartbeat.
I love when King Wakeman pull his robe at 9:50
Welcome into an new hearing of Sense!Of Being.

This is more of the original Yes than Yes is now? A little rough from lack of practice but sounds good enough!
¡Sensacional!
YES - oh NO! I don't think the Howe set up have got much to worry about but both bands don't have that magical YES ingredient anymore. Time for the old Wizards to retire and let young warriors grasp the chalice and take YES music to higher vibrations!
Steve Howe respects himself and Yes and does not expose to this sort of thing.
Oh how lovely, Daddy with son!! Rick are You God?! :-) ... love You.
Geeting from Franky and other ... Bach?
Sounds great to me. Jon's wearing a golf glove with the fingers cut out. What?
To play tambourine- he's 72 and were not getting any younger
I was there and audio was all over the place Very disappointed Expected much better

People like you are annoying as hell at a concert.
Back atcha
So difficult to listen to this in the *wrong* key...
one thing I am sure of, this rhythm section has never played w ea other before. Trevor since 94 so it isn't YEARS of knowledge they yet draw from ea other as a well oiled machine.

RJH........
No doubt AWAKEN is a masterpiece. Todmobile (with Jon Anderson) have a great rendition too : ua-cam.com/video/yE1pnDERWU0/v-deo.html
The Todmobile version is 100 times better.
More like a million times better. After listening to the Todmobile version, well, nothing compares by a long shot! I think Mozart would love that.

They should have rehearsed more. Awaken seems to be a mess in most of these vids

Not sure what Justin Bieber has to do with this but each Yes fan to his own I guess...
sean anderson it made more sense when Andy had not deleted his bieber comment.
... was supposed to be humorous but that, I guess, like a "best man's" joke didn't com across...(tumbleweed slowly blowing past)

Some stinkers from Rabin...
Loose notes unacceptable. All over the place. Sloppy.
