Easy, come out and make a fool of himself. Kind of like Tom Morello does on every song he joins in on that's not his. No one wants to hear string scratching on "my guitar gently weeps".
K Ruth that's hilarious because it's true XD. There's a Prog Rock cover band here named Mr. Nice Guy, and they usually have at least 7 or 8 musicians on the stage at any given moment, but they also have 3 or 4 more waiting in the wings until their instrument is needed for the next song(s). I think they have 7 of them onstage for Roundabout.

Right! To play in place of Chris Squire? Awesome. I got to see the classic lineup in Madison, Wisconsin back in the late 1970's, with Alan White, and before Trevor Rabin.
@@robinwatson4282 No disrespect but you might want to listen to mid to late 80's Rush where Geddy plays insane groovy bass lines while singing, playing keys, foot pedals, etc. He's that fucking good.
It's an amazing moment in history. Geddy Lee goes from waiting in line for tickets to see Yes in concert to playing with the band on stage many years later filling in for his idle. I love this.
as a bass player, i noticed Geddys eyes are on the fretboard - hes making sure that he reproduces CHRIS' bassline exactly for the YES fans to better capture. totally 100% respect from Geddy, who was a young Chris Squire fan himself.....
@@michaelhogan6770 it would have been cool if he did, but it was fun to hear his sound along with the sound of Yes. And Geddy himself even said that playing with them all felt almost bitter sweet because no one could replace Squire.
Chris Squire had a custom Blue PRS 4 string bass.. I had temporary use of it years ago. Geddy was true to the song... After All, only having to play one instrument.
Absolutely....I was trying to think of a comment to make about this wonderful moment....and I found yours....sublime...couldn't think if anything more perfect to say.....

I can't imagine Rush would be as good as they are without first loving rock music, prog rock and just about any other really well put together music.
Geddy’s 63 here. Trevor’s 64 here. Alan & Rick are both 67 here. This is Howe’s last performance before turning 70 the next day. And Jon’s 72 here ( SEVENTY-TWO !!! ). Look at 'em go !! ICONS of ICONS. And that's an understatement. And I still cry about Chris. Can't think of a better stand-in than Geddy.

Note to Geddy , Chris would have definitely enjoyed your stand in.. Just a hunch, Geddy may have been your most favorite day of your life . Standing in for Chris Squire, what an honor. Of course you were outstanding. Thanks from the crew. Me, myself and others.
@@GRILLBUOY101 Something is off. Pitch? I am not a vocalist, but as the only YES song I can stand, I wished it was closer to the album. Just saying. Geddy rocks.
Tom Keenan Jon Anderson is hands down the best singer in the business. The ONLY alto range in the role of frontman and he is an accomplished harpist,as well ie."Awaken"!In the early days when Jon still had his Scottish brogue "Time And A Word","Survival",etc.With his partner Chris taking the soprano range;those 2 voices harmonizing 2gether,is the closest 2 Angelic we will ever hear.Jon Anderson is INDEED amazing!
How much more of a compliment can you be given as you cap your career than having Geddy freekin' Lee go all FANBOY onstage playing your music ?!?! ( 1:48 ) That just about sums it up for me.
Damn straight, David. TESTIFY! I'm saying that not because I am an expert on the band. I am not. However, I have always reserved a great deal of respect for Yes. In fact, it's interesting to see Geddy Lee fill the late, great Chris Squire's shoes here, as Geddy's own bandmate, Neil Peart, has in the past expressed his admiration of the equally-great Bill Bruford. This is one of my favorite Yes songs, on what overall is my favorite Yes album.
Couldn't agree more. Rock is supposed to be anarchistic. But if there is one,Yes was a glaring omission. As is Todd Rundgren. But to your sentiment Thereis Hope, I saw the Sex Pistols in '96 in Cleveland at an amphitheater, John Lydon said of the Rock Hall "I hate that Fucking place"....
Anderson was AMAZING. I LOVED YES when I was in high school in the early 70’s. Had every record and played them to death. Well, I haven’t payed attention to yes for about 40 years and was STUNNED by how great Jon sang. Most vocalists lose quite a bit of their vocal range, and vibrato because they just don’t have the strength of their youth or partied too much. Mr Anderson has not lost anything and his pitch was fairly good live. AMAZING and I’m so happy to see YES is still great.
Seriously, how good does Jon Anderson sound? And the dude's 72! Amazing. I mean, they all sound spectacular, including Geddy, but Jon just stands out to me in this performance.
Jon remarked that the surgery on his sinuses also fixed a secondary problem that he didn't know that he had for years. The result was that *he* was shocked how good his voice sounded once he started singing again.
If someone didn't know geddy or yes one would think he was actually part of the band by the way he interacts with the others which is also very amazing
Wow. No Chris. Nobody can replace Chris on Bass. The bassline starts, and I'm thinking "this guy is nailing it". Who is this guy? lol Geddy Lee. Killing it! He's even got the crunchy tone. Wonder if he went the whole hog with stereo pickups. Good on you Geddy!
If anyone should have been considered to fill-in for Chris, it should be Geddy. He must've been humbled beyond the galaxy, when he was asked to play on stage with these legends.
its funny reading these bullshit comments by guys who probably have a hard time spelling the word bass let alone knowing what to do with it if they picked one up. I can picture the drool running down their pock marked face while trying to swat away the flies from the smell of the cheeto covered underwear that hasn't been changed in a year. if this piece of music makes your life complete then good for you, don't let some wanker try and take that away from you.
Geddy Lee playing for Yes is a match made in heaven. Rush and Yes are my two favorite bands of all time. As much as I loved Geddy Lee's performance, Yes should've been inducted with Chris Squire.
It’s not horribly difficult but its certainly not easy. It’s one of those lines that’s difficult enough that its slow to learn, but once you’ve got it, you’ve got it.
You need to do the research into it an see the list of musicians who called Geddy our for his antics. For God's sake there are industry jokes about it. Now, stop kissing your Rush poster and go do the research.
You are full of shit, "just a fan". HoF Induction Committee Chair Jann Wenner had a hate for prog rock and Rush in particular. He had a platform on which he shouted this, you may have heard of it. He vowed never to let them in. The fans embarrassed the HoF into inducting them.
But Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn't good anymore; now they admit anybody, no matter it isn't rock, and TRUE bands have to wait CENTURIES for being EVEN considered.
Geddy is my absolute favorite bassist and him playing with Yes only 2 years after Chris Squires death is such an amazing tribute to him. Plus Geddy rocks and has fun with all songs like it’s second nature to him
No doubt! My god what happened to the music business, real true original artists and songs that are not only great but stand the test of time like this one.
@@MarkDeweyCA It annoys the hell out of me with music over the past 20 years where people make beats on a computer program pressing keyboard buttons and by keyboard I mean computer keyboard and they sit down and act like it's so hard to dig deep into the depths of their soul to come up with words and sentences that rhyme together and both of which these idiots had the audacity to get offended if you don't refer to them as an artist.
Loved seeing Geddy playing with Yes... you could see the little kid in him the whole time. Steve Howe nailed that original guitar vibe as did the whole group. Awesome!
Yes (the one with Steve Howe, Alan White, etc.) played Houston recently. One of the ticket sites said it was "Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman". It was wrong. But, based on my understanding, I paid $300 for second row seat and meet & greet with band. It was a good show. But, I wouldn't have paid $300 if I had known that it wasn't the Anderson version. Oh well... I did get an autographed poster with the Steve, Alan, Jon Davidson, etc.
just saw ARW in minnesota. totally legit show. wakeman kills, rabin shreds, lee pomeroy on bass! louis molino is on point. the played south side of the sky as their second tune!
You can tell Geddy is loving playing with Wakeman..... I am sure there'd be an opening for him when Rush retire.... I am almost bought to tears hearing this in this era....
Imagine that you are Gaddy Lee, yet you still have heroes, and that you get to play with them. and the childlike grin on his face. restores my faith in humanity
What a dream for Geddy. Playing with the same band that Rush saw while they were recording Caress of Steel and almost made them not want to finish making it. Nailed Chris Squires tone to a T...on a J-Bass no less! RIP Chris.
Hey Kris I've seen other comments also mentioning the same thing about a J bass , If ya have time could you explain what that means and why it's so unusual to see Getty playing one. Thanks My Friend
Wow. The boys still sound great. Anderson somehow, miraculously, still has his pipes. And it takes a legend to sit in for a legend: props to Geddy Lee honoring the incomparable Chris Squire.
I think Chris Squire was looking down and smiling. What a monster version! Two guitars really filled in and worked so well. And who else could fill Squire's shoes...perfect!
Kevin Savo absolutely, I actually saw them once with my dad in Chicago (I’m 38) it was pretty cool, I grew up on a lot of prog rock. Johns voice is forever embedded in my brain. I also have thoughts of “Legend” in my head right now lol
Billy Sheehan, Jeff Berlin (filled in for squire literally with 24 hours notice) on yes tour, Stu hamm, will Lee, John pattitucci, victor wooten, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, And about 20,000 other bassists could. Not sure what you’re talking about.
Many of you have great thoughts on who but the honesty of it is from that time period and style Geddy was a friend and a great choice.. I have no doubt the others could of done a great job but nothing better than a long time friend , fan and incredible bass player for this performance.. We all could name 10-15 or more player qualified for the job but the benefits and show turned out more beneficial to the band and fans using Geddy and it was a very memorable performance.....
Im sure Chris would have approved IF the actual guy he picked to replace him had been playing. But ARW got in the way of that, being the massive assholes that they are.
I love how everyone claims these performances dont have all kinds of auto tune and post production magic on them. It's not like its a bad thing, anyways, music would sound terrible without it. However, the pitch correct speed is obviously way too fast, it sounds robotic as heck. Jon Anderson does not sound like a robot, thats a good thing.@winomagnet
here and a performance of close to the edge somewhere else on youtube, its not as noticable in this one except for a couple of sharp jumps between noes but in the close to the edge one it was REALLY bad
@winomagnet 2:32 on "charge the view" you can hear some jumps, and its really obvious a few seconds later when he says "atmosphere" when it instantaneously hops between two notes on the last syllable. Another quick jump at 4:17, and other than that it mostly can be heard in the overall robotic sound of his voice here. If this is a post production version like you said then that explains it already. I believe the close to the edge performance i found (it was old, never said it was recent) also was post production with much heavier autotune. I think the only reason its so audible is because of Anderson's unique voice. It's kinda breathy so there's much more artifacting from the autotune, its harder to hear autotune with singers with crisper voices.
@winomagnet I am very much a new Yes fan, but I know what pitch correction sounds like. I dabble with music production and have used Auto-Tune before. I never said he needed Auto-Tune, just that it's being used. Whether it was the choice of Anderson himself or was the choice of the engineer/s running the audio, its here. While I haven't even been alive anywhere close to as long as Yes have been playing, I'm pretty sure Anderson can't instantaneously switch between two distinct notes on a single syllable of a word, which is present. I am not trying to insult Yes or Anderson, I was literally only stating that Auto-Tune or some other form of pitch correction is being used. That's it. If you don't agree with me, that's fine, I'm done arguing over something this stupid.
I noticed how classy and understated Geddy Lee was. This performance brought tears to my eyes. What a show! Thank you Jon, Steve, Geddy, Bill, Alan, Rick, and Trevor. Well done!
I bumped into him and his wife in London in Tottenham Court Road at the Mean Fiddler club when he was there to see GPS (with Guthrie Govan, Payne from Asia and Ryo from Spock's Beard) when they supported Y&T. Nobody recognised him as he walked out so I caught up with him and got a picture with him. His hands were massive. The club has since been demolished to make way for the expansion of Tottenham Court Road tube station. Saw loads of good bands there in the early 2000s.
3:43 R.I.P. CHRIS! No one but Geddy could fill those large shoes. Fabulous performance! 70 years old and the guys in YES are still in top form. Thanks for posting!
Actually, Squire didn't play with an actual pick. Most of the time he used the British equivalent coin to the American quarter. That's how he got such "bite" out of his Rickenbacker bass - metal hitting metal.
I love how Geddy doesn't try to take over the song. Plays it like it should be. Pure class.
Oh, yes!
Pure class, as always......
He has nothing to prove
hes a bass player. how could he take over the song? john paul jones was the one and only bass player in all of rock n roll!

@@jddunbar6557 lol have you ever listened to rush? the bass often is the main focus of many of their songs.

@@nirradyen-tolobaz3727 Meh.... he's no Glenn Tilbrook
Got to love Wakeman's commitment to the cape.
Not all heroes wear them...
Laughed out loud at that one but yes you are correct I was thinking the same thing
It's much cooler wearing the cape.
You put on the cape and you are stage ready.
He's earned the cape with the way he manhandles the organ pipes.
How much more of a compliment can you be given as you cap your career than having Geddy freekin' Lee go all FANBOY onstage playing your music ?!?! ( 1:48 ) That just about sums it up for me.
The master approves
About fucking time that Yes was inducted into the hall of fame!!!
Damn straight, David. TESTIFY! I'm saying that not because I am an expert on the band. I am not. However, I have always reserved a great deal of respect for Yes. In fact, it's interesting to see Geddy Lee fill the late, great Chris Squire's shoes here, as Geddy's own bandmate, Neil Peart, has in the past expressed his admiration of the equally-great Bill Bruford. This is one of my favorite Yes songs, on what overall is my favorite Yes album.
Yeah, it´s pretty unnecessary when you think about it
Couldn't agree more. Rock is supposed to be anarchistic. But if there is one,Yes was a glaring omission. As is Todd Rundgren.
But to your sentiment Thereis Hope, I saw the Sex Pistols in '96 in Cleveland at an amphitheater, John Lydon said of the Rock Hall "I hate that Fucking place"....
Heck yeah!! Both Yes and Rush are among my favorite bands of all time, and both Geddy Lee and the great Chris Squire are incredible musicians!
but no Deep Purple......yet
Couldn't think of a better bass player to stand in for the late Chris Squire 🤘🏻
But even so, he SHOULD have played a Rickenbacker bass here.
What about Mark King? Or Rick Kemp?
@@RastaSaiyaman the tone..
How about Tony Levin
Indeed
Talk about not losing a step. Howe is on FIRE. Anderson hits every single note and he was 74 on this night. INSANE.
Anderson was AMAZING. I LOVED YES when I was in high school in the early 70’s. Had every record and played them to death. Well, I haven’t payed attention to yes for about 40 years and was STUNNED by how great Jon sang. Most vocalists lose quite a bit of their vocal range, and vibrato because they just don’t have the strength of their youth or partied too much. Mr Anderson has not lost anything and his pitch was fairly good live. AMAZING and I’m so happy to see YES is still great.
THAT'S INSANE !!!!!!! Look at 74 year old politicians. Look at 74 year old rockers. 'Nuff said.
Seriously, how good does Jon Anderson sound? And the dude's 72! Amazing. I mean, they all sound spectacular, including Geddy, but Jon just stands out to me in this performance.
Jon has a condition and it's.......................... progressive
Joao Gomes Totally agree! Absolutely amazing to be able to sing like that at 72 or even 62 or 52 for that matter!!
Jon remarked that the surgery on his sinuses also fixed a secondary problem that he didn't know that he had for years. The result was that *he* was shocked how good his voice sounded once he started singing again.
Leslie White very cool!
Sadly Geddy's voice has not held up as well... He sounded rough at RUSH's induction.
Geddy is the greatest. So humble, so amazing, so respectable. Coolest guy ever
Agree 100%

Geddy has always just been cool and nice- met him back in late 90's - just the nicest guy.
I can see Geddy "backing up" and letting YES shine. Geddy Lee is showing his being humble...nice man !!!
Yeah, I noticed in a few shots he's even facing away from the camera. Wow c:
If someone didn't know geddy or yes one would think he was actually part of the band by the way he interacts with the others which is also very amazing
Geddy Is a class act
It’s how we do up North! Ged’s a humble guy considering everything he has achieved.
Imagine this with Yngwie on guitars and Portnoy on drums? :P
Wow. No Chris. Nobody can replace Chris on Bass. The bassline starts, and I'm thinking "this guy is nailing it". Who is this guy? lol Geddy Lee. Killing it! He's even got the crunchy tone. Wonder if he went the whole hog with stereo pickups. Good on you Geddy!
Should never have taken so long for Yes to be inducted. They were the first premier progressive rock band, then same can be said for Rush
How can they both be first?
What about King Crimson?
Agree!!! Loved them..... so good to hear this song again... I played it for my adult kids and they were like... wow ... mom !!!!! Hahaha 👏
Floyd, Yes, and Genesis are in (though Genesis' induction was less than stellar thanks to Phish). It's King Crimson's time.
Tony Richards Everyone was baffled at Watcher of The Skies. Watch the video, it cuts to people like kid rock and they have no idea what's going on
The only person in the world who could possibly take over Squire's role, is Geddy, and he does it finger-style with a Jazz bass. Holy shit.
there is one person - Pat Metheny
Amen hfs
@@kathleendalsanto6990Metheny plays bass?
@@kathleendalsanto6990 Metheny doesn't play bass, at least not as his first instrument.

If anyone should have been considered to fill-in for Chris, it should be Geddy. He must've been humbled beyond the galaxy, when he was asked to play on stage with these legends.
Awesome! My favourite bass player playing the notes of my other favorite bass player 😊👍
Wow Geddy in place of Chris, feels right.
No other soul walking the earth would have been more proper.
I gotta think Squire is smiling on this :)
Geddy has often cited Chris Squire as a major influence on his style. In that light, I couldn't think of a better bassist to replace Squire.
and for Geddy, for playing for his idol. That's so amazing.
I think that it's a safe thing to say that if Chris could have chosen the one to stand in for him, it would have been Geddy, his finest student.
God may strike me down with lightning now. Geddy playing bass on this song makes life complete
sgtgiggles Indeed!!
wow! complete? a complete pile of fucking bullshit is more like it. Sherwood should have been on bass
its funny reading these bullshit comments by guys who probably have a hard time spelling the word bass let alone knowing what to do with it if they picked one up. I can picture the drool running down their pock marked face while trying to swat away the flies from the smell of the cheeto covered underwear that hasn't been changed in a year. if this piece of music makes your life complete then good for you, don't let some wanker try and take that away from you.

Geddy Lee playing for Yes is a match made in heaven. Rush and Yes are my two favorite bands of all time. As much as I loved Geddy Lee's performance, Yes should've been inducted with Chris Squire.
Um, in case you didn't get the memo, Chris Squire sadly passed away in 2015.
@@castelodomar846 Bro, I know that. It's very sad to hear. I meant to say that Yes should've been inducted before he died.
@@waterdive122productions6 ah ok, sorry for my misunderstanding. Yep, I agree they should have been inducted long before 2017 with the entire band 🙏🏻
They inducted ABBA (a pop band) in 2010 and wait until 2017 to induct Yes. That is strange. The people who run the RRHOF are wacked.
@@laurencethornblade8357 They chose The Go Go's over Iron Maiden last year too. That is even more crazy
One of the toughest base lines in rock n roll and Geddy looks like he could do it in his sleep
It’s not horribly difficult but its certainly not easy. It’s one of those lines that’s difficult enough that its slow to learn, but once you’ve got it, you’ve got it.
Geddy ripped it off in spirit of radio. He didn’t write it.
One of the toughest to play, no. But one of the most iconic and coolest sounding!
He probably has.
@@meephead6636 Jesus Christ trash take
Geddy stays respectfully on the side - not his song, not his show, but he fits in well as the new youngster of Yes!
they still could have given him a mic as back up vocals
Old school respect!
How in the world does he not use the Ric for this?
Well, Geddy has greatly earned it
I feel like his vocals would mess with Anderson's because they're both high singers.
Absolutely amazing! Jon Anderson hitting the same notes 46 years after release!
DTR396 Real pros
And he still sounds clearer than crystal and better than perfect in 2018. JON FOREVER!
I prefer his original voice but it still sounds good
No kidding - he's kept his vocal powers up!
Jon Anderson is a true countertenor, a very rare gift. Almost all rock tenors push themselves too hard and can't keep it up forever.
Geddy looks like he's wetting his paints playing with the group that inspired him to start playing. He's having a ball... Such a class act!!!!!!!!
Really????? Geddy bitched and moaned his way into the R&RHOF. No, thanks, he's a bitcher and moaner.
No he didn't. Rush fans might have bitched and moaned, but not Ged.
You need to do the research into it an see the list of musicians who called Geddy our for his antics. For God's sake there are industry jokes about it. Now, stop kissing your Rush poster and go do the research.
Got a list, do you?
You are full of shit, "just a fan". HoF Induction Committee Chair Jann Wenner had a hate for prog rock and Rush in particular. He had a platform on which he shouted this, you may have heard of it. He vowed never to let them in. The fans embarrassed the HoF into inducting them.
I'm thrilled Ged is playing with them, but this induction should have happened YEARS ago when Chris was alive.
🙏 ✌ ❤ 🎶 🌎 👏
But Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn't good anymore; now they admit anybody, no matter it isn't rock, and TRUE bands have to wait CENTURIES for being EVEN considered.
@@ChivaInvencible I hear ya. It's frustrating.
Geddy is my absolute favorite bassist and him playing with Yes only 2 years after Chris Squires death is such an amazing tribute to him. Plus Geddy rocks and has fun with all songs like it’s second nature to him
@@caseysurgent6091 I love Geddy too! I hope he continues to make music.
Hell yes.
You know when a band is to be respected when it's admired by Rush...
I love seeing Geddy singing along at the end, no mic, just for the pure joy of it.
Also 1:48 when he mimics Rick's playing, lol.
Look kids, these are true artists and musicians.
A-freaking-men.
Yeah, I knew that
I saw the who in a concert in Pittsburgh pa years ago and I heard some young guys saying I wasn't expecting this, and they are like 70 years old !
No doubt! My god what happened to the music business, real true original artists and songs that are not only great but stand the test of time like this one.
@@MarkDeweyCA
It annoys the hell out of me with music over the past 20 years where people make beats on a computer program pressing keyboard buttons and by keyboard I mean computer keyboard and they sit down and act like it's so hard to dig deep into the depths of their soul to come up with words and sentences that rhyme together and both of which these idiots had the audacity to get offended if you don't refer to them as an artist.
Loved seeing Geddy playing with Yes... you could see the little kid in him the whole time. Steve Howe nailed that original guitar vibe as did the whole group. Awesome!
Cool!
I was so happy to see Geddy filling in for the late Chris Squire...RIP Chris. Only Geddy could pull off a magical Chris Squire bass line! BRAVO Geddy!
Really good to see Jon singing with Yes again. If only for a moment.
He is singing with Yes regularly, sort of. There are now two touring Yes bands. Yes. And "Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman".
CaseAgainstFaith1 Id take a yes with Wakemen and anderson any day.
Yes (the one with Steve Howe, Alan White, etc.) played Houston recently. One of the ticket sites said it was "Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman". It was wrong. But, based on my understanding, I paid $300 for second row seat and meet & greet with band. It was a good show. But, I wouldn't have paid $300 if I had known that it wasn't the Anderson version. Oh well... I did get an autographed poster with the Steve, Alan, Jon Davidson, etc.
... when Jon is behind the mic, it's always YES !!!
just saw ARW in minnesota. totally legit show. wakeman kills, rabin shreds, lee pomeroy on bass! louis molino is on point. the played south side of the sky as their second tune!
Geddy is probably one of the few that can get that Chris Squire sound without a pick and on a Fender.
I think the only one..
There is purity in his technique.
he said he only used his new signature rack mount for that performance
"Samuel Kiszka" Greta Van Fleet Bassist,,,,, the young man is a real promise
Z.J. Gordon he’s a good player but he’s nowhere near Geddy or Chris. He has a life worth of bass playing in front of him, tho.
Jon Anderson is nearly 70 and STILL sounds effin awesome 🙌🙌🙌
Exactly what I'm thinking. Frankly, it's astonishing. I saw them back in the nineties and there's just no diminishing. At all.
@@iantojones7807 yep me too. That was around the time Union came out. They were sensational then and now 🥰💪
i bet he sounds quite good but there is autotune in this performance sadly
For the real sound see in edited version th-cam.com/video/pa843_cTqGU/w-d-xo.html
He is actually 73 here.
SO glad they did the full album version. And Geddy really is the ONLY choice to cover bass.
John Entwistle might have been the only other.
Or Ben Orr(RIP) if he was still alive.
Jon sounds REALLY good for 72 years young. WOW!
he definitely hasn't lost a thing!
Amazing!!What a band!!Yesssss
He was in great form. He didn’t always sound this good in later years but he really was up for this one.
I haven't heard Jon hit those notes in years. So good to hear him for this honor.
Always has, one of the few who never had to dropped a key.
You can tell Geddy is loving playing with Wakeman..... I am sure there'd be an opening for him when Rush retire.... I am almost bought to tears hearing this in this era....
Imagine that you are Gaddy Lee, yet you still have heroes, and that you get to play with them.
and the childlike grin on his face. restores my faith in humanity
He was having fun, playing air keyboard when Wakeman did one of his runs.
What a dream for Geddy. Playing with the same band that Rush saw while they were recording Caress of Steel and almost made them not want to finish making it. Nailed Chris Squires tone to a T...on a J-Bass no less! RIP Chris.
Hey Kris I've seen other comments also mentioning the same thing about a J bass , If ya have time could you explain what that means and why it's so unusual to see Getty playing one. Thanks My Friend
Wow. The boys still sound great. Anderson somehow, miraculously, still has his pipes. And it takes a legend to sit in for a legend: props to Geddy Lee honoring the incomparable Chris Squire.
Im 69 and my voice is better than at 25, the trick is to not blow your voice out and it will stay young
I cry tears of supreme joy every time I hear the base line , I am a great fan of Rush and Yes .
How can you not be?
I think Chris Squire was looking down and smiling.
What a monster version! Two guitars really filled in and worked so well.
And who else could fill Squire's shoes...perfect!
Seems to me Steve Howe said that they wouldn't have played unless Geddy covered for Chris. Geddy was literally their only option.
@@NeilABlisspreeeeetty sure steve wanted billy sherwood there
Outstanding performance. Anderson's voice is in really good shape. What a band. FOREVER CHRIS SQUIRE.
Anderson sounds amazing (I'm sorry to say, much better than Geddy did at the Rush induction)
Anderson’s voice is naturally higher than average, so he doesn’t have to put much effort into hitting the higher notes.
Jon's voice is is in incredible condition for any age, let alone 73!! However changed by time, he still sounded great I thought.
Love the "air keys" at 00:01:46
Wow! Rick Wakeman hasn't lost a step!
Long time Rush fan here. What a proud moment for Geddy Lee !!! Chris Squire was one of his biggest influences !!! A dream come true for Ged !!!
If you wear a cape while you play your instrument, you're a badass.
love Yes, what a great band, putting Geddy in there was just fantastic, as tough of line that is to play, Geddy makes it look easy, what a talent.
Couldn't agree more!
So glad I got to see Yes when Squire was still alive. I can still feel his bass lines just thumping me in the chest.
Almost 50 years listening to this song. The amazement is still there !!
NOTHING TODAY COMES CLOSE..
For me, it's always that gnarly bass line.
That alone, has me coming back to this song....
AND THEN there's the rest of the Amazing Musicianship.
Jon sounds insanely good
His voice has barely changed at all.
He has a gift!@@GraemeWilliams21
Kevin Savo absolutely, I actually saw them once with my dad in Chicago (I’m 38) it was pretty cool, I grew up on a lot of prog rock. Johns voice is forever embedded in my brain. I also have thoughts of “Legend” in my head right now lol
It's quite something: Geddy Lee playing Roundabout with Yes kicks even more ass than I thought it would.
There is no other player on Earth who can replace Chris Squire. Except for Geddy Lee.
Billy Sheehan, Jeff Berlin (filled in for squire literally with 24 hours notice) on yes tour, Stu hamm, will Lee, John pattitucci, victor wooten, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, And about 20,000 other bassists could. Not sure what you’re talking about.
@Crazy Eights Agreed.
Many of you have great thoughts on who but the honesty of it is from that time period and style Geddy was a friend and a great choice.. I have no doubt the others could of done a great job but nothing better than a long time friend , fan and incredible bass player for this performance.. We all could name 10-15 or more player qualified for the job but the benefits and show turned out more beneficial to the band and fans using Geddy and it was a very memorable performance.....
@@meephead6636 True dat.
@@donadams1505 Certainly. It's nice that Geddy was able to play on this. Yes were a massive influence on Rush, so hey, why not?!

Without a pick too! What a champ. RIP Chris Squire
Im sure Chris would have approved IF the actual guy he picked to replace him had been playing. But ARW got in the way of that, being the massive assholes that they are.

@@donutcookiepie Well that dude is dead af so he really doesn't care
Jon Anderson's Voice has really held up well! - Geddy did Chris proud :-)
This performance is very clearly autotuned heavily...
I love how everyone claims these performances dont have all kinds of auto tune and post production magic on them. It's not like its a bad thing, anyways, music would sound terrible without it. However, the pitch correct speed is obviously way too fast, it sounds robotic as heck. Jon Anderson does not sound like a robot, thats a good thing.@winomagnet
here and a performance of close to the edge somewhere else on youtube, its not as noticable in this one except for a couple of sharp jumps between noes but in the close to the edge one it was REALLY bad
@winomagnet 2:32 on "charge the view" you can hear some jumps, and its really obvious a few seconds later when he says "atmosphere" when it instantaneously hops between two notes on the last syllable. Another quick jump at 4:17, and other than that it mostly can be heard in the overall robotic sound of his voice here. If this is a post production version like you said then that explains it already. I believe the close to the edge performance i found (it was old, never said it was recent) also was post production with much heavier autotune. I think the only reason its so audible is because of Anderson's unique voice. It's kinda breathy so there's much more artifacting from the autotune, its harder to hear autotune with singers with crisper voices.
@winomagnet I am very much a new Yes fan, but I know what pitch correction sounds like. I dabble with music production and have used Auto-Tune before. I never said he needed Auto-Tune, just that it's being used. Whether it was the choice of Anderson himself or was the choice of the engineer/s running the audio, its here. While I haven't even been alive anywhere close to as long as Yes have been playing, I'm pretty sure Anderson can't instantaneously switch between two distinct notes on a single syllable of a word, which is present. I am not trying to insult Yes or Anderson, I was literally only stating that Auto-Tune or some other form of pitch correction is being used. That's it. If you don't agree with me, that's fine, I'm done arguing over something this stupid.
Steve Howe is a damn wizard, Jon Anderson is flawless, Geddy fills in so admirably, and this song is a masterpiece.
Jon sounds awesome. Geddy doesn't break a sweat. Wakeman still wearing a cape lol. Loved the Roger Dean art in the backdrop.
I noticed how classy and understated Geddy Lee was. This performance brought tears to my eyes. What a show! Thank you Jon, Steve, Geddy, Bill, Alan, Rick, and Trevor. Well done!
👍
same !! 😭👍💕🖖🏻
Are there issues between Steve and Trevor?
Geddy is one the few who can pull this off.
Rex Holes GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!!!
Seriously, I can’t think of another
They're all so talented, but the fact that Anderson's pipes are still intact like this, this far down the road. Remarkable.
Especially after suffering acute respiratory failure in 2008!! Who could believe he'd still be out there singing?! ❤️
Saw Anderson recently in a smaller intimate venue doing this song with Jon Luc Ponty, he can still belt it.
I think that Geddy guy has a future on the bass.
LOL
He should make a prog band of his own! Maybe the Foo Fighters will induct them into the hall of fame someday!
Only ONE man on this planet could ever take over for our late, beloved Chris Squire, and that is Mr. Geddy Lee!
U r so right
I'm glad I got to see Chris Squire twice before he died.
But if Yes was to tour with Geddy, I would not be complaining.
I bumped into him and his wife in London in Tottenham Court Road at the Mean Fiddler club when he was there to see GPS (with Guthrie Govan, Payne from Asia and Ryo from Spock's Beard) when they supported Y&T. Nobody recognised him as he walked out so I caught up with him and got a picture with him. His hands were massive.
The club has since been demolished to make way for the expansion of Tottenham Court Road tube station. Saw loads of good bands there in the early 2000s.

BHAKTI BROPHY the respect Geddy Lee has for Yes is amazing. He was singing along and pretending to play the piano along to the riffs. This was awesome
Geddy fits right in, just like he's played with them for years.
well he doesnt play with a pick. so he doesnt fit right in at all.
donutcookiepie you’re a jackass.
Actually, Squire didn't play with an actual pick. Most of the time he used the British equivalent coin to the American quarter. That's how he got such "bite" out of his Rickenbacker bass - metal hitting metal.
Corky Schillinger Brian May does the same thing as well!
Quite so. Thanks!
