Covering Yes is hard. Covering Jon Anderson’s vocals is really hard. These guys kill it. The singer is amazing. She doesn’t do an Anderson clone, but manages to get the feel of the vocals whilst doing her own thing. Excellent stuff guys.
My mom's cousin used to sing the lyrics of yes sometimes at home just to amuse himself sometimes to warm up in his dressing room before performance. I won't mention who he is, but he was a well-known and respected Canadian opera singer.
William King: Many musical gems, never recorded, & never heard by the general population, have been created in the basement. I used to do that a lot in high school with me & 4 other fellow players, in the band we formed, (you guessed it), IN THE BASEMENT. We were, of course, an annoyance to any of our relatives that lived above ground, especially when we were having trouble learning a song.
You guys are a joy to watch, ignore the negative crap. There's nothing but positive with your videos. It's cool to see all the fun you guys have playing music together. That's what it's all about! Rock on
My comment as a bass player for 54 years, this is a great job done on a great song. May God Bless/Rest Chris Squire. His bass lines are some of what made up my learning foundation in my early years. That and the bass player (stand up) with Les Elgart records my dad spun so often. Again, this video was very well done, by some great musicians. Also a great choice of songs. Bruce
Just discovered Band Geeks and I'm going through everything! This is great, Ann Marie's voice is perfectly suited to the Yes material. It's uncanny. More Yes please!
It would be even better if she took the time to learn the lyrics.as opposed to read the on an iPhone... c’mon.. love the band and love the covers, but that’s just an observation, not a criticism. Keep up with the good work. I’m a musician myself. I know it’s Hard. Thanks
@@shocktrooper8443 I’m a musician myself. This was meant to be a joke. I Love This Guys. If you follow my comments on Instagram or Facebook..( try Facebook better ) you will find my admiration and respect for the Geek Band . I found them on UA-cam playing early yes songs and I thought they were amazing..so please don’t think that what you said, reflects my opinion.
@@stephenarthur8718 I wouldn't kick a muddy hog in the ass for a chance to go on either of those anti American commie controlled sites...but thanks for clearing this up for me. I've been an amateur rock drummer since the Beatles were on sat a.m. cartoons here in the states...so I know a little about musical talent as well. I thought you were just trying to be a prick...now I know I was wrong. Not joking here...about anything. Stay safe and alive bro! ;-)
Only came across these guys today by chance and I was supposed to be mowing my lawn this afternoon but cant stop watching! One of my favourite Yes songs. Seen them live a couple of times in my life in the UK and Melbourne. Cheers from Australia.
Never saw this covered before. Nailed it! One of my top 10 all time favorite songs. The solo..... Daaaang dude. Vocals were excellent. Binge watching now....
This is in my top 2 of OOALH covers. Band geeks - for female vocal of this song HSCC - for male vocal of this song Great vibe, great musicality from all Superb
Very nice singing and nice music. All natural. Better than the original. I am 49 now and enjoying this song for last 35 yrs. Thanks friends. Keep ur good work of making people happy.
I've never heard a male singer who could come close to Jon Anderson's alto tenor voice. Truly inspired thinking by whoever came up with the idea of having a woman do it. I've been a YES fan for nearly 40 years. My brother took me to see them @ The Rosemont Horizon on March 9, 1984. Yes, I remember the date and that the tour was sponsored by "Sparkomatic" car audio. Yes I spent a lot of time staring at that ticket, awaiting the show. They did not disappoint with an oval shaped stage where behind Alan's drum kit it tilted up and the front sloped down so Jon could walk on it periodically. All future shows in my life are compared to this, with only RUSH @ the United Center coming close.
Amazing. Irs scary how effortless these musicians make it look. Can you please post a couple rehearsal tries before each video so we may feel better about our own musicianship? Awesome
with my headphones in front of the TV in full-screen seemed to be with you. You are really great. Thank you for all the beautiful pieces that you share with us.
A month ago I did not know what a cover band was. How is it possible! What a joy it is to hear these great tunes. Makes me happy that I no longer live under a rock. Cover bands rule. Thank you for your passionate performances. Great fun.
YOU made" YES" proud she's got good pipes!!! owner of a lonely heart is one of my favorites of many of their songs..Besides this group are not band geeks their pro's
Amazing bunch of wonderfully talented people making this look easy. marvellous...... and the drummer plays keys too. and guitarist can do Howe, Squire and Rabin . amazing......
I think Richie and Trevor had a long lunch with a lot of information getting shared. I keep being amazed by both the note and timbre perfection of the playing.
And now these guys are playing with Jon Anderson, totally deserve it!
Yup, they killed it yesterday!!!
Indeed they do and no one better!
If anyone writes anything negative on these folks, you need to go back to your tic tock world and stay there....
Keep on rockin' BAND GEEK

I love these guys, but sorry no they don't. They do a good job but they dont kill it. TheHSCC version....now THAT KILLS.
@@davehdgn5348 To each their own. I think this version is better.

Jon aanderson on drums
The singer is naturally talented. No strain, easy, relaxed, can sing all day.
Indeed, singing while in squatting. 😊
Incredible vocal control. Not an easy song to sing at all.
She's very good. I like her voice a lot.
because she's a woman, naturally has higher pitch than man
Band doing more in their basement than most bands are doing in a pro studio.
Basement? I think you mean broom closet.

Right ! Continue to have fun with music
so darrrnnned good, everyone did it nicely!!.....64 here and in my metaphysical existential world...you kicked ass!
Very tight, very authentic rendition to a song I absolutely love! Ann Marie is an excellent vocalist who does a stellar job!
Amen to that Brother BOCfan! :)
i could not say it better,
And she sings this sitting with her legs crossed I'm impressed
That's because singing in a high register is more about head voice than singing from the diaphragm.
That guitar solo I would say it’s pretty damn perfect right on it.
Lead singer is not giving her 100% but still nails it!!! WOW!!!
The lady that sings it - makes it. Superb!
brett james You must be fun at parties.
She is amazing!
Ann Marie Castellano - Vocals
good support for these excellent musicians. CHARLIE HASTINGS UK
@@brettjames9088 no. She is a wonderful singer. Jealous jackasses like yourself are a dime a dozen. Fact

Love the guitar solo.. Spot on!
very close but not spot on. Very respectable.
McFlySwatter It was so clean!
McFlySwatter
Spot on ? lmao no it was not spot on
Nailed it.
Moronic f***ing critics. Great take on the solo.
Just love these guys wonderfully covering loads of songs helped me out with my singing
Ann Marie...so chill...effortless...like a Bawss! Richie killing it on guitar. The band...flawless.
... how does she sing so well, sitting cross-legged and nearly doubled over in front of the mic?
You guys are amazing and Ann Marie is from another dimension.... spectacular 🎉
What! a Group of Fine, Funn-Lovin' Musicians & Singer!!!! Doing so much MORE .......with LESS!!!!!!! My HeadPhones really love this!!👋👋👋
The lead guitarist did a great job on solo and the transition out of it into clean tag.
DAMN RITCHIE YOU GOT A GREAT EAR. YOU FUCKN NAIL THOSE GUITAR PARTS. ON EVERYTHING IVE SEEN YOU DO. THANX
15k likes and 1m views says to me that you dont need my appreciation but im going to give it anyway. Superb.
This song was incredibly difficult to record in the studio by Yes, and these guys nailed the entire sound right here in their basement.
Guitar solo close to perfect - love it
The female has a great voice and timing!
Ann Marie had me @ “ Barefoot “ beautiful
The moment when she starts to sing and that guitar riff 😍 magic sound 😍
If I had won the lottery, I would ask you guys to play for my retirement party. What a joy to listen and dance to.
As somebody who listens to the original recording in the car ALL THE TIME I can tell you this is an incredible cover! Nicely done.
Great playing. And that solo section you nailed all. And the guitar solo. Wow 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Great job. Her voice is perfect for this tune. Such a great number. Long live YES
Her vocals are just splendid. The phrasing is excellent and far better than simply mimicking the original. Kudos!
Only came across these guys today by chance and I was supposed to be mowing my lawn this afternoon but cant stop watching! One of my favourite Yes songs. Seen them live a couple of times in my life in the UK and Melbourne. Cheers from Australia.
Just Came Back AGAIN, .........dragging along the headphones for a sweet-sound re-tweet!!!!!!!!!! Thanks All Over Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👋👋👋
You are one of the greatist cover bands on Earth and Ann Marie is a godess!
Excellent cover, friends ! Long live Rock'n Roll ! Greetings from Mexico ! 😂
Never saw this covered before. Nailed it! One of my top 10 all time favorite songs. The solo..... Daaaang dude. Vocals were excellent. Binge watching now....
This cover was damn good, guitar solo was awesome.

Yes music ain't easy to cover.
This band knocked it out of the park
Very well done! Yes would have been impressed. I was.
This band rocks …..👍👍👍
Amazing rendition👍🏻🤓the drummer looks like James Taylor😃
They're so good!
I would actually like to get to bed sometime this evening! You've sucked me into your genius musical vortex!!!
Not my problem as I found them at Noon and I Amon my second one,,, next Starship Trooper
Happens to me too.
@@davidbaldwin9830 You just wait. It'll happen to you too.
Guitar and vocal on top !
My man on the drums is like a machine! You guys killed it.
Bloody hard song to play, especially that well! Don't listen to the haters, they have no idea what they are talking about, that was brilliant!
in the last hour ive watched all band geeks videos. i just want to say: YOU RULLE!
Very nicely done. I usually shudder when a cover band does a classic like this but you folks nailed. Kudos!!
Amazing. Irs scary how effortless these musicians make it look. Can you please post a couple rehearsal tries before each video so we may feel better about our own musicianship? Awesome
Even Jon Anderson would be impressed with this cover. So hard to replicate Jon’s voice but here she has done a good job. Musicians are spot on!
If Jon isn't the singer, I vote for her. She did an amazing job!
"I shoulda learned to play the guitar. I shoulda learned to play them drums." - Dire Straits
That is my sentiment after watching this.
Fantástico cara dando um ênfase pra guitarra q ficou 👌 perfeita
with my headphones in front of the TV in full-screen seemed to be with you. You are really great. Thank you for all the beautiful pieces that you share with us.
Guitarist absolutely nailed the solo!!
You guys are freekin' awesome !!! Nothing better than people having fun playing music together :)
Love your cover….brings me back to my 70’s rock…..keep going ❤
Fabulous stuff. So great to see people having fun making good music.
Unbelievable! Not a missed note, tempo, key change or nuance. One of my favorite songs from my youth...
Nailed it! Love the keyboard work; as a player, I was checking for those hits.
Guitar solo...sweet!
Awesome Band ,,Tone.. Production,, All !!!
Not an easy song to play. Great job. Love the guitar (both rhythm and lead).
Really pleasantly surprised with this one, well dobe lads and lassies a really excellent cover.
Damn! I like it! She sings great! and the guys do an amazing job!
A month ago I did not know what a cover band was. How is it possible! What a joy it is to hear these great tunes. Makes me happy that I no longer live under a rock. Cover bands rule. Thank you for your passionate performances. Great fun.
Ya Girls voice is awesome.... Great...
They nailed it, they need a contract.
The band got soul of yes..amazing
Love you all..........Best Regards from Indonesia
Excelentes músicos!!!
Parabéns a todos, belo vocal, trabalho de baixo, guitarra...
Perfeição 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
YOU made" YES" proud she's got good pipes!!! owner of a lonely heart is one of my favorites of many of their songs..Besides this group are not band geeks their pro's
Ребята, привет! Вы- молодцы!!!! Спасибо за красивое исполнение легендарной музыкальной композиции )👍👍👍
You are amazing guys! Excellent!
Ann Marie is a champion. Rest of you are wonderful too
Cracking sound guys , attention to detail great stuff and just love the sound ,, the girl singing would be great covering some Rush tracks
Amazing bunch of wonderfully talented people making this look easy. marvellous...... and the drummer plays keys too. and guitarist can do Howe, Squire and Rabin . amazing......
That bass line!
Awesome! I saw the 9012 Live concert in Albuquerque...1984, I think. That was a great cover. 🔥🔥🔥
Great love it. ..... Love YES
NICE!👍👍👍👍 Pretty cool cover. One of the best I've heard.
I think Richie and Trevor had a long lunch with a lot of information getting shared. I keep being amazed by both the note and timbre perfection of the playing.
If that was true then Richie would have played the clean part like Trevor does - open string picking is not how he does it. Solo was spot on though.
Flawless. Ann Marie is very special.
Fabulous!
God! That was beautiful to watch! Thank you, gracias, merci, grazie, todah,Спасибо, xie xie, domo, mahalo! 😀😁👍👌🤘🖖✌🤙!
I remember playing with friends when I was in college. We had a blast singing and playing. Y'all are great! Keep on keepin' on
Bravissimi!!...Brava Ann Marie!!
Awesome cover! Awesome seeing James Taylor drum too! I didn't know he could drum, especially that well.
Ha ha ha!! 👍
Graet performance ..all best from CROATIA! ...Aurel
