Gotta tell ya, the Band Geek streams during Covid were a sanity saver. Forever indebted, thanks man.
That Wilson Phillips video makes me laugh every time. Congrats!
Just wanted to TY! From Queens NY, 53 yrs old, same expansive musical taste, played drums since I’m young. I have stage 4 colon cancer and finding you guys yrs back has bought joy and distraction from life that helps me. So ty! I wish you and everyone continued success. ❤
I'm a 72-year-old bladder and prostate cancer survivor. Keep thinking good thoughts. I know what you're going through. I'm also from Queens, played in plenty of bands, a bass player and singer. Hearing the band geeks just just kicks me out of my funk... I love it. Keep thinking good thoughts my friend,. Remember it was you and me, the drummer, to keep the groove. Let's keep groovin on..... With love from Mike in Queens.
This just nails it for me.
Nothing will ever replace the old band geeks. I miss that genre greatly. Anything beyond that is astounding, but just not the same.
I’m a dedicated Band Fan. Thank you so much for hours of quality content. You are all amazing!!
You guys are the best! Such incredible talent! I am So excited for you and your work with Jon Anderson.
Honored to be a small part of this amazing project!
So, so good, just amazing performances - here's to another 10 years !!
I love the Band Geeks and have for years. Keep going Richie.
FABULOUS, BAND GEEK. IM WAITING FOR MY BAND GEEK HAT. I HAVE TO SAY,,, ANN MARIE IS AWESOME. SHE IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL SINGER. COULD YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT HER. WHAT BAND IS SHE IN? AND CANT WAIT FOR 10 MORE YEARS.
You and all of the BAND GEEK members have made an indelible musical memories that I smile and enjoy everytime I replay them. Thank You to you and all of the other talented musicians for always bringing it and rocking for 10 years!
Congratulations on 10 years!! The only positive thing that came out of COVID was our Sunday afternoons together!!
This was a GREAT video!!!!! I want to watch each one you showed. I saw you guys in Rochester NY and what a show! I swore off concerts 20 yrs ago but I HAD to see You guys AND Jon Anderson and it was more than I could have expected. Thank you!
Awsome !!!!! What a --- (miss words) to do with such musicians. Was my dream since I started --- 50 years ago ....
OMG, almost spit out my tea on the Ghostbusters song! Richie as Batman arguing that who you gonna call is "Batman. You have to call Batman!" Perfection! 11:32
Happy 10th anniversary of "Band Geek"
...with best wishes from Germany 🤩🤩🤩🤘🤘🤘🎈🎉🎊🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations! Well deserved.
you guys are great dont give up
keep on enterteines us
Thanks for the Geekfest. Came for the Yes covers, and never left.
Always dig your vids!! Hope there's more to come!!!
Dude I hope this has made you wealthy in spirit and in pocket!
Keep doing what you do. No-one does ity better.
Congrats!! Was at the Hammondsport show, and have seen you with BOC! Thanks for the Band Geeks music, been watching for years!!
Thank you for 10 years of amazing entertainment.
Congrats to you and all the Band Geeks - I've been enjoying your awesome work for years! Please bring the tour to Canada!
Great idea, great musicians, great attitude!!!! Congrats on 10 years of band geeking!!!!!!
We really enjoying everyone's performance. The vocals are just awesome.
I stumbled onto one of your covers of Yes a couple of years ago and was blown away … I saw a level of musicianship I hadn’t seen in a while … I sent the video to a band mate, good friend, and Yes devote extraordinaire, and he concurred … you guys are the real deal. Congratulations on all your success … you deserve it!
I'm GobSmacked. You guys love music so much. The you labor of love is paying off. I will be telling everyone I possibly can to see this montage. After seeing you in concert a few weeks ago with Jon Anderson, as far as I'm concerned it was kismet. You guys are IT ! I loved hearing the band performing songs that truly did justice to the originals I feel like Jon plays and sings in confidence because of you. If you possibly keep playing different YES songs and ones from your new album, I'll be at every show that I can. "Shine On" indeed. I truly love that song.. The most positive new song we've had this year...in a year when it's really needed. . Thanks you so mmm
Congratulations Richie!! ❤
Congratulations on 10 years of Band Geek and all that's evolved from it, Ritchie. You're an amazing and hard working musician. Love you in BOC and your podcasts. Cheers to another 10 and many more!!
Bravi, Bravi, Bravi! E (quasi) tutti di origini Italiane! 🤩
Absolutely love Band Geek
Mike tirelly kicks ass.
Congratulations Richie and all who have been a part of Band Geek. I found Band Geek back in 2017 due to my obsession with ‘Rosanna’. I watched that video dozens of times and have watched every video that Band Geek and Richie have done before that and ever since.
Congratulations Band Geek !!!!!! More ten years. Tanks Richie and all of the other talented musicians for always bringing it and rocking for 10 years!
You MUST visit the Pacific Northwest!
Keep it going Richie! Hell why not! Good luck with the Jon Anderson gig!
Bravo! You all have provided me years of enjoyment with the covers! I can’t wait to see you with BOC in Ohio in late October! Again - congrats on the anniversary!
Truth is stranger than dreams!
Long Live BAND GEEK Rock'n Roll!!!
Been following you for around 5 years, so happy for everything that is happening to you Band Geek, you deserve all of it! Thanks for your dedication, your humour, your « down to the earth » attitude, the quality of your music, and many more ten years! ❤🤘🎶
… and come touring to Canada / Montreal! ☺️
Listening to all these songs chained, two things really stood out:
1. The sound quality and musicianship are amzing. 90% of these recordings could go on singles releases - and they are live performace all-at-once recordings!
2. Ann Marie has an increadible voice. Not only she can sing anything and everything, even when she sings backing vocals her voice fits perfectly into any song, including those that originally did not have a female voice in them.
Two thumbs up
👍👍
Your cover of Jet City Woman brought me in, and your fun and brilliance keep me coming back! Keep it going, you guys are awesome!
So much talent - you guys and gal are some of the best musicians I’ve heard. Better than most “famous” ones…Congrats on such fabulous work!
I'm a guitar player but can we all just agree that the bass tones on "Holy Diver" at 11:03 and "Detroit Rock City" at 14:25 are just, yeah, great?! :P The groove / vibe at 15:24 with that line-up is sick?! And her voice?! One of the best in the business! Holy #$% these are fantastic performances!
Awesome and I hope you keep on making music and not taking yourselves too seriously!
You guys&gals are insanely talented!
What a great flashback! Been watching for years. Haven't seen much of Jarrett lately, hope he's still around around and doing well!
35 minutes of brilliance!
Ten _TRUE_ summers long! Congrats to you guys! I'm in awe of your amazing talent. Good luck with the tour and I'm really looking forward to the album. I think it will be more of a "REAL" Yes album, than what Steve Howe's group has done in recent years. I can't wait.
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. I believe you guys are on your next level of musicianship and creativity. You deserve wonderous things life has to offer because it's evident how hard you guys work on your craft. All the best Richie and friends.
10 years and still watching..
Wow! Incredible compilation, incredible talent!!! Thank you Richie!
Brilliant….thanks guys….particularly linking up with Jon… just the best 🎉❤
I've enjoyed all your content Richie. The Jon Anderson collaboration is awesome.
Richie - Thanks for your enthusiasm and efforts in bringing forward your love of the best music ever written. You are a treasure and an inspiration. It's been a fun 10 years!
Your accuracy across such a wide range of musical styles is just incredible! I absolutely love your covers. Keep it up!!!
For the record, I have always thought that the Chipmunk's Christmas song was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the way you showed us how it was put together! Thanks for 10 years and looking forward to many many more!!!
You are so talented Dude
I love when you and Buck Dharma jam on stage
I very much miss our Sunday concerts. This recap definitely makes me want to go watch them all.
🌟Dreams do come true🌟
What an amazing retrospective! I got goose bumps SO MANY TIMES!!! Here's to ten more years!!! =)
Best TH-cam cover band music ever!
Many thanks for the hard work 🙏 you're the best
Monsters in a Small Studio! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏
congrats Richie and all the Band Geeks. You guys have given so much pleasure to so many. You deserve every bit of good fortune that comes your way!
My son got me into you guys when he stumbled on your cover of “More Than A Feeling “ (Boston) since he knew I love a good cover song and this is one of my favorites. I went down the rabbit hole and never left! Thanks for the fun videos and the excellent music!
Been with you (here) since the beginning. Cheers Mate!
Love this! Thanks for providing some of the best content on TH-cam.
Your Yes bass playing is my favorite.
I'm so glad all this geekiness brought us yes music played like we remember it.
Congratulations ❤
Many congratulations!
These guys probably have the best mixing and tone of any cover band I've ever heard. Congrats Band Geeks.
Absolutely brilliant.
Huge WOW!!!! ❤❤️❤️
Just found out about this awesome band! Love your wide-ranging catalog & incredible talent! Sharing with my family & friends. Keep up the fabulous work! Our world needs you! Rock on! 🌎🎶♥️
Damn. This is greatest cover band of all time. Where else can you hear Hall and Oats, Iron Maiden, Jellyfish, Yes, Toto and Star Wars from one band.
Thank you Richie. Loved reliving these videos. Got tickets for Jon Anderson show in Denver. Looking forward to it.
I too came for the Yes music, and never left. Love the music, amazed at the skill levels, and feel like I can share the excitement of hearing music we all enjoy, being performed live. I was there in 23, gonna be there in 24, and Richie and all the musicians are great. Richie, you are an over achiever, and thank you for that. Stage design, the computer running the graphics, and yes, complimenting one of the true voices of this century that brings joy, love, and peace back to all who take the time to hear him. Keep it going Richie and all the band geeks. You are elite, but so down to earth. I'll see you soon in row 9. Be well!
Love the snippets of all the different songs - you guys are SO good.
Congratulations on the big 10
"You should call Batman!" LoL. Happy 10 years.
Your Stairway to Heaven is amazing.... love your videos!🇺🇲
Love listening!!
Congrats! I found some of your Yes covers a few years ago and have checked out some of your other stuff since then. Here's to 10 more years at least!
Here is to the next 10 years of Band Geek!
omg, the last 10 years of my life just flashed before my eyes ! Wow, so excited to hear the news... greatest cover band in history.
🤘🤘 I've been watching for awhile and it's one of my favorite TH-cam channels congrats
I’m a musician. In HS I was in awe of the band YES. Who the hell in HS can actually play YES tunes in a band?! You guys are so fucking talented
YES INDEED
Great history Richie!
Great stuff !!.....big Band geeks fan here, loved hearing some Jellyfish and Jason Falkner hadn't heard that before. I have shown your vids to many folks who were blown away, but this collection made me more aware of the Band Geek humour Spinal Tap etc. As a huge Yes fan keep doing what you do 🙂
Congratulations.... I'm new to the Band Geeks, but so impressed with everyone's gifted talent... From your beginning to releasing a new Album with Jon... Everyone in the world wants you to play for them with Jon... How great that is...
congratz! well done! I enjoy yours covers the last 5 years!
Love Band Geek! This 64 year-old digs the prog covers and all the great tunes. The ultimate cover band!
OMG! For some reason Anne-Marie's Disney songs gave me chills! Of all the things... I love you guys!
