Jon was 69 when he played this concert... astonishing vocals. He is the best rock vocalist of all time.
Singing in the same key as when he was 21... holy shit!
I think they dropped roundabout A HALF step. Haha
000
For sure !
Been a yes fan since the 70's; saw them in concert several times, but to your opinion on best rock vocalist ever.....no. But it's all taste an opinion, right?
Jon has been a part of my life for almost 50 years now. My sons revere him He kept one of them sane as a Marine in the desert of Iraq. My grand-daughter is now getting to know him. He is without peer.
If you consider his astonishing ability to change genres, yeah, you're right.
Awaken, one of the greatest progressive rock songs ever written, and this is without doubt the best rendition, absolutely incredible.
50 years on and his voice is still Golden. Such a Gentle Soul. I love this man.
He's not always that gentle; have you heard "Go Screw Yourself"?
WOW!! A life time Yes fan from 1968.... and that version of Awaken is just ... so unbelievably good! As good as the studio version and the best live offering I've ever seen. Anderson sounding at his absolute best still - and what a fantastic and amazingly talented team are Todmobile. So many star performances. Just Amazing! More! More! More!
I can’t rank it on a best list bc there are just too many great versions over the decades...
Yup.
Jon Anderson is in a league of his own to still be able to sing songs he wrote over 40 years ago and still have that power is absolutely incredible
This version of Awaken is beyond ecstasy...
Jon Anderson.Greatest singer of ALL time.Multi-instrumentalist :Harp/12 string/6string. The closest voice to
Angelic in communion with the almighty Logos.Transcendental!He appears as if in ecstasy!✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨
Well said, Nirrad!
Michael Yandle Thank U so very much,Michael.Cheers!🤗🌅
concur here: the greatest singer of all time, seems that he has the perfect pitch.
I just know for which reason Jon Anderson is and still my favorite singer ever! What a voice! This man is my hero! Love you forever Jon!
Wonderfull...one of the best voices of the world. This man is 75 year Young!!!
69 Yrs old around this Concert... But still Soooo Amazing... Love on Ya Jon!!
That version of Awaken, I dare say, is better then when I heard the original in concert over 40 years ago. Brilliant.
I agree. The choir is what does it I think. Very well done.
Moved to tears of joy, overwhelmed by the beauty and depth of this song. J+T make a a fabulous pair.
I agree , Ron- he is lost in his music- but so found. I am 69, loved yes as a young person, as an adult- through raising 3 daughters; still , their songs are deep inside..n the love n feeling came out when I listened to this n saw the lead guitarist so into the music!!..n the orchestra doing their parts so well..had to wipe my eyes a few times!
I am lucky enough to be old. Very old. Lucky me found Jon Anderson in Soho in London way back in either the late 60/early 70s in a bar with Chris Squire. Mabel Greer's Toy Shop became Yes and I became a groupie. Not a real groupie but a follower...a serious follower. Jon's voice takes you somewhere else, somewhere ethereal, somewhere magical. I am not embarrassed at saying this - Yes literally changed my life and my belief... and showed me what music was, what it meant to say and what it meant to.....yes, the soul. The eventual team of Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford, Squire and Howe just did it for me - perfection...WHAT a sound, what sheer joy. I think I have every recording, have been to so many concerts in so many iterations, but it is the sound of HIS voice that does it. Tod Mobile are a stunning band with an amazing orchestra and choir and they take Awaken from heaven and force it beyond...just find some decent headphones and play it to yourself...and then again and again. Grown men with a heart WILL shed a tear if they 'get it'. ok so the meaning of some of the songs is a little 'other worldly' but certain lines leap out at you and...well...are perfect. Like the time I ran away - turned around and you were standing next to me. I don't care if this was part of a poem written by others or wherever it came - it is just perfect. This whole concert is amazing, beautifully orchestrated and played with sheer joy. Jon is superb as always and the choice of tunes good. If Awaken was 30 mins long rather than the just about 20 mins I reckon listeners would have passed out with sheer pleasure. I managed to buy the CD of this and the Tod Mobile concert and it is even better than the you tube show as the dvd is perfectly in sync...but I come back to this you tube full concert month after month anyway. Thank you Jon for the sheer pleasure you have given this serious fan over the years, and also for the work and tours you do with the music school (even though they all look as if Daddy paid for them to be on stage with you)! Accrington Stanley rocks...sort of..
This is just unbelievably brilliant. Another level. True musicians. I could listen to this all night.
Amazing! Jon’s voice is stunning at nearly 70. It took me back to my early 20s. Wonderful, simply wonderful.
Speechless, I'm utterly speechless after experiencing "Awaken"
This is the best version of AWAKEN - Anderson is in excellent voice proving that he is the most unique, the longest lasting and the BEST SINGER OF OUR TIME.
My High School drummer buddy had a rock concert date with some chic that cancelled last minute and he called me to buy the ticket and go with him. The ticket was for Jethro Tull and some unheard of back up band called "Yes." The rest is history. I was hooked.
This version of Awaken is one of my absolute Favorites!
"Awaken" is my favorite Yes song and this is hands down my favorite version. Todmobile is AMAZING! Such a remarkable interpretation of these great songs.
Absolutely agree!
Mine too,then And you and I
My fave too. Powerful and emotional.
When will we recognise Jon Anderson as the national treasure he is? To have that remarkable, unique voice. Instantly recognisable and so beautiful. And he sings better than he EVER has! Who does that? At his age. Honestly, who? And these songs still matter so much to so many people.
His range is IDENTICAL to 50 years ago. He must be a genetic freak. :)
@@aprilstewart5929 I just think it's so natural. Nothing forced. He opens his mouth and out it comes!
@@mrb7094 Naw, this is the result of a lot of hard work. He just makes it look easy.
Keep coming back to this video, just superb.
Me too. I love how they used the brass and the choir. Brilliant!!
I have yet to hear any singer approaching Jons age whose vocals sounds as unphased by time. It's remarkable. Pair that with the facts that nobody sounds even remotely like him, and he and (along with Yes) have created a sound palette unlike any other. An amazing and remarkable career. Certainly he must be considered some kind of a goat. Pick a category!
I don't care who originally wrote what musical bits in Awaken --this song is Jon's soul guiding. Especially when Todmobile plays it precisely as written for the studio. And hey--that Viking operatic tenor! Brilliant! And this performance is the best one for Jon's reaching in and pulling the guts out of it and even making that hinky ending sound beautiful
Jon sings like an angel. Superb this Todmobile band, to my opinion the best version of Awaken , the masterpiece of YES, ever. Many thanX to all of you.
One of the best band I heard
This is the most amazing version of Awaken on the web.
Agree. Wonderful heartfelt...
Just drop-jawed at how good Jon still sounds here and how incredibly talented the band and orchestra are...just WOW!!!
He actually hit a C in Roundabout, a note difficult even in his youth; how does he do this??
To all the haters...just bc Howe, Sq, Wake or BB isn’t here doesn’t mean this still isn’t a great Gig...RELAX
Jon is showing that the music of Yes is eternal and universal, and will be played by musicians for centuries to come, just like the Classical composers of the past.
Howe, Sq, Wake & BB/AlW would have been the better choice
Brilliant. I saw Yes play Awaken live in Philadelphia in the late 70's ... beyond virtuosity, it was a spiritual event. This is remarkable. Thank you Todmobile for bringing this back to life.
Spiritual was in 72 in New Orleans on 2 hits of acid. Great show. Maybe the best I have seen. Still listen to their music regularly. I ran across ( on TH-cam) a show from 73 I think in Baton Rouge,I was at that show as well. Great band.
I never get tired of listening to these guys💜💜💜
Superb concert everyone, especially keyboards, was also particularly fascinated by the backing singer group ....the lady in the white dress, is a kickass pro performer and literally owned the stage in so many ways, brilliant !
Her name is Andrea Gylfadóttir ;) - lead female voice of Todmobile - and has been singing in other various projects in Iceland.
MrPicky thank you for the info re Andrea..... as a musician of some 60 yrs in UK I kinda pride myself in knowing when I’m in the presence of greatness, Andrea hit me right between the eyes, right away!
With so much talent on that stage the superlatives come thick and fast but Andrea just stood out for me.
shes bold, funky and struts her stuff with authority and oh what a kickass voice
Music of this calibre is a rarity today.....totally loving it!
I wonder what her songs were about...i.e. translated into English?
👏👏👏👏👍
Best live version of Awaken iv heard, amazing clear voice by Jon Anderson, my favorite Yes piece
And the sky opens at 12:40. Transcendent.
Fantastic...I am crying...
An absolutely brilliant concert! You’re only as old as you believe yourself to be, Jon’s proof of this as he’s eternally young and will continue to be forever. My heartfelt thanks to whoever uploaded this concert. 🙏
He works his ass off, to keep that voice in that condition. Also, he's had a couple of sinus surgery. This crap about only being as old as you feel.....nope. Nobody hands that to you; vocalists suffer a lot, to be any good, let alone staying that good for that long.
Even at his age he still has the voice of an angel. Love you man! Peace to all!
Jon is showing that the music of Yes is eternal and universal, and will be played by musicians and orchestras for centuries to come, just like the Classical composers of the past.
I agree in general, but with Rick on keyboards an orchestra (and choir as well) would become unnecessary. By the way, this goes for MAGNIFICATION also (Tom Brislin did a great job during the MAGNIFICATION tour).
Absolutely!!!
@@DrDES-dp6un Rick is MAGNIFICENT, but I actually like the initial keyboard entry in this version better than the original, which to my ears sounded a little too speedy for the mood

Thanks andrea, tis a labour of love....
Amazing voice, Amazing song, Jon at his best, this is his favorite song and it's my favorite too, at 69 he hasn't lost barely anything.
This proves Jon is YES.
True, without him it is a Tribute band. The Tribute bands have their place, as they keep the music alive, which is nice, of course.
@@dubyuellem7534 Give it a rest, dude. I love Jon as much as anybody, but to call "The Steve Howe Band" a tribute band is just plain wrong.
I've seen YES more times than any other band...more than 80 times. It is a shame that Steve and Jon can't work together anymore, but making Jon the Godhead is just plain wrong. How is this NOT a TRIBUTE band?
Jon's voice makes it YES, but he was not the only member of the band.
The two Trevor's, and even Chris sang some great YES as well.
Best rendition I've heard of Ye's songs since Jon Anderson & Rick Wakeman left Yes. They are irreplaceable. Especially Jon!
awaken is just simply the best song that humanity will ever hear
New Age Ambient music. yes
My favorite version of AWAKEN!
Find no words zu say. Absolutely masterpice of Musik. In the comments below someone said Jon is nearly 70. If am 58 and remember some live acts with Yes Zappa Prince Genesis Hacket and so on. I remember the time when i bought my first LP from Yes, Yessongs . Jon make a great job with a stunning voice. Folks we getting old but feeling young . Thank you for streaming and thanks Yes.
Fantastic playing by the guitarist (I can't figure out how to spell his name) and the arrangements are top notch.
Probably the best version of Awaken I've ever heard.
While I don't know about that, I most certainly love this rendition. The cruelty of performance, though, is that the masters of composition (Anderson, Howe, Wakeman, Squire, and White) only have one representative from their cohort here. The music transcends because of THEIR mastery. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful performance, that hopefully will endure the ravages of time.
Þorvaldur Bjarni Þorvaldsson, English sounding spelling would be Thorvaldur Bjarni Thorvaldsson
Þ and ð are the two special Icelandic characters that other languages have lost (Þ from Old Norse and ð (Ð) from Old English).
Incredible rhythm section!Sounds like Bruford and Squire! The whole band and orchestra is on another plane of
existence!Bravissimo!✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨
Jons voice is like a angel.
What a wonderful performance!! And such a cool collaboration between Jon and Todmobile! 🥰
"Awaken" is one of my favorite Yes tunes of all time. I love another song from "Going For the One" as well, "Parallels" is majestic beauty I'll never tire of listening to.😊
Eu não conhecia o Todmobile e fiquei impressionado com a qualidade dos músicos e cantores do grupo. Uma apresentação memorável com esse ícone do YES Jon Anderson.....BRAVO!!!
¡Todos hacen sinergia! ¡Excelente concierto! ¡Gracias!
... conmovedora voz 🤩🎶💯 y un genial grupo que amado siempre! ❤️🎶💯 Hoy sentada en mi living ( 2024) escuchándolos felizmente...muy agradecida de esta música 🎼 que jamás será olvidada. 🙏
Monumental! Wunderbar, dass ich das gefunden habe. Thx.
Never heard of Todmobile before, Jon Anderson +Yes I love !!! TODMOBILE are HOT 👌.What a find !
Chris Squire is looking down and smiling 😄
Wow ... simply astonishing. Those first 17 minutes had me in tears.
Wuss
Here is some more: th-cam.com/video/gIOT31a2E00/w-d-xo.html

Amazing concert - fantastic versions of Yes & Jon & Vangelis tracks. Many thanks for posting. Jon's new album "1,000 Hands" is amazing. A real return to form. Can highly recommend it.
ive watched this more than a few times and Awaken leaves me in tears every time.
This Band Tod Mobile , Choir and All Musicians ,unbelievable 👏👏👏👏!!They don’t just perform well ,they LOVE what they doing !!What a brilliant combination!!!
Jon Anderson, please come to Australia, before you retire one day 🙏.Jon Anderson, Steve Hackett, Tod Mobile and these Brilliant Musicals would be one of the Greatest Concerts !!
Non esisterà mai più una voce cosi angelica.
Awaken is STUNNING! Now we know the answer to the question; "How many people does it take to replace Howe, Squire, Wakeman, and White?" About 35! Who knew?
This is how it sounds in heaven!
you know what I mean?
th-cam.com/video/GPqRioQp0FY/w-d-xo.html
The guitarist totally rocks.
The dude's living and living every moment and plays fantastically.
Yeah he's great ... sounds exactly like Steve Howe !!!
the music is like like talking to God it doesn't get any better than this this is the most magnificent music on the planet and it always has been and it always will be it will never grow old it only gets more Magnificent the more you hear it correct answer
Hard to argue with that. I keep returning to it 40 years anon. Sublime.. and so good they did this high level production
I know I am biased but Jon Anderson's Singing is emotionally evocative to my soul..
Jon is in top form, and Todmobile does a great job. I love this concert. Thanks Andrea :)
I think his voice has developed a little deeper register which makes him sound amazing. This concert is something else
Not only is Jon ageless…these are FANTASTIC musicians! Todmobile and this Orchestra and Choir. Excellent.
OMG Incredible! Deep healing music for the soul. His music touches my heart more than nearly anything else I have ever heard, save for The Moody Blues.
Now that was a proper orchestral arrangement of Awaken, giving it all the power and majesty it deserves.❤
One of the best performances of this song!
Great performances of YES music. This Awaken version shall be the best after original record. But rather than Yes music played, which were perfectly played ....wow, what a band is Todmobile!!!! Incredible voices , power, technic....It really impressed me.
il y a vraiment un style nordique de musique faite de magie, de scintillements, de tempête, d'espace infini.
Olias of Sunhillow. What agreat album that was.(is) Jon's voice is still flabbergasting me more then 50 years.
YES the soundtrack of my youth and now THIS the soundtrack of my golden years. Jon just stays on top of it! Long live Jon!
I totally agree 👍.
The best part of "rock'n roll" was killed by the radiostations who insisted in playing easy short numbers all the time.
Brilliant Jon, brillant musicians. Especially the guitarist/conductor - he loves YES music.
OMG Intense, Energetic, Precise, Dynamic, Virtuosos lit up by a driving force of creativity and imagination the very real and vocally Ageless Jon Anderson… the breath has been taken away!!
Que maravilha, que show maravilhoso. Jon com seus vocais, simplesmente de dispensar qualquer comentário, tudo que falar é pouco. Jon, banda e Todmobile, tudo simplesmente espetacular. Dai-lhe Jon Anderson.
Great piece of music. Jon is still one of the best singers in the world.
YES
More Yes passion in this music by the people on stage than the Steve Howe version of Yes that around now days.
But the ARW Yes is amazing. Check out ARW's version of 'Awaken'.
Agre 100 %, YES WITHOUT Jon Anderson is NO.
@@bigua1428 Do not forget Chris Squire even he hasn't been credited for 'Awaken'
No need to talk about Jon; everybody knows that he is unique.
But the band, formerly unknown to me, is f***ing excellent as well!
Maravilloso!!!...Yes es la mejor banda progresiva de la historia...grande John Anderson!
One hell of a concert, wish I was there.
Simply WOW!
awaken is the song of the century
Just revisited and listening to Awaken again. Dare I say that this how that Yes song was always meant to sound.
This is the type of concert that I wish would never end. Thanks yes
Did not know about TODMOBILE (great name) ,not surprised to get blown outa the water, everything Iceland offers is pure gold..
What does Todmobile mean?
@@Jonathan-rc5yj maybe it's Icelandic for "do you think it sounds a bit better now ??".
@@paulburke9198 hahaha not correct but funny ;)
@@Jonathan-rc5yj Guess it was a joke on Batmobile and the guitar players "alter ego" Tod - hence Todmobile. Guitar player, founder of the band, main songwriter and one of Icelands leading music producer and conductor Þorvaldur Bjarni Þorvaldsson (Thorvaldur in English).
Especially violinists without glasses!
The drummer is so in the moment throughout the concert, brilliant
Drummers...
I have been blessed with this sheer beauty and talent my whole life. Kept me happy and sane. Thank u Jon Anderson.
I’ll say it again. This video clearly proves Jon IS Yes!
I agree. The various lineups of musicians that have performed Yes music over the years have shown that everyone can be replaced by someone else with one exception - Jon.
And Chris Squire, of course!
Magnifique Jon, il n'a rien perdu de sa voix! Yes forever! bravo à cet orchestre symphonique!
Fuck this is good shit. Never heard of Todmobile till now. No wonder Jon Anderson left Yes. He's moved on.
He made room for another Jon at Yes whom is best mates with the pretty drummer of the Foo Fighters but acts and sounds like Roger Hodgson . Which is confusing but reality in one form I guess 🤔❤️
Me he quedado gratamente sorprendido por esta excelente banda Todmobile, que no conocía pero que a partir de ahora la seguiré por siempre. Y ni qué decir de la voz de Jon que se luce impecablemente. ¡Si parangón! ¡Gracias!
Jon 's voice is yet so good. what a dream. One of the best prog music of century.
Dude, the guitarist nailed most of Steve Howe's style. Amazing
'This rendition of 'State of independence' is Art, Todmobile musicians and especially the vocalists are incredible, and the whole arraignment is superb.
Fabulous production, voices and instrument balance, Jon's magical presence, and fabulous guitar work . . . . mmmmm
I came for the Jon Anderson/Yes music, but that Icelandic music is crazy good as well. I don't understand a word of it, but just amazing! Who are these guys and why aren't they more popular world-wide? That first Yes song truly made me feel like I had been transported straight to heaven and was listening to the angels singing! One of the most worshipful things I think I have ever heard! I even think I caught myself shedding a completely manly tear or two!
"ditto"!
