Band Geek's got Jon Anderson to sing with them "wow" they ALL sound fantastic, this is great!
I feel like Yes is more than a band/music to Jon. It's a spiritual experience for him and he's deeply connected to it.
Why not! It's a spiritual experience for me too
Exactly right 👏👏
Jon couldn't have got a better backing band
Excelente band, Steve must be in shock watching this! Jon you should extend this tour, give the fans the opportunity and pleasure...Just Fantástico!!!!
Your wish is granted...
Jon’s voice is just as pure as in ‘79
... or in '69 👍🌷
You think so? I thought his voice sounded rather strained, not surprising given his age.
I loved the final refrain and chorus, took me back to “in the round”
What a rejuvenating experience it must be for Anderson to find himself with musicians who play Yes like Yes in its heyday. Even the Fish, from up above, must take pleasure in the fact that a Rickenbacker and his unforgettable scores have fallen into the hands of Castellano.
Masterful. I saw Yes and Jon twice before and this band and performance is spot on.
Andy Ascolese, You have earned my unending respect. What an incredible drum sound and what power and finesse combined. AND you looked like you were genuinely having fun with this. Amazing. Thanks for adding so much to a wonderful performance.
He incorporates the best of Bruford, White and adds his own touches….magnificent!
Yes but it certainly is not like Bruford by a long stretch, but i am happy to listen to his renditions, at least it it not Jay Schellen.
They all look like they’re having the time of their lives. Including Jon Anderson.
And he looks a bit like Alan White.
Yeah, props for taking this on, but he doesnt maintain the pocket when gtrs improvise on solo pieces.
I can't put in to words how privileged I feel having had Jon there for my whole life, being a constant inspiration. No right to still be getting performances this good but I'm so grateful - Please make it to the UK at least once more please. I know it's got to end at some point but right now, seeing Jon enjoying himself so much is just the greatest thing and he deserves it so much.
Incredible - Jon Anderson is priceless and still has an AMAZING voice.
I hope they tour again. I'm a life-long Yes fan at 64 seeing them with Wakeman and Moraz. This is as close as it gets to core Yes, vocally as Jon is still in form and instrumentally not lacking with this amazing backing band. Excellent in every way. They all are 100% invested and it shows.
Please release official Live album of this. Excellent recording btw.
Easily the best video quality so far, and the sound is also extremely good as well.
I was just about to make the same comment.
Singing in the original key, hitting the high notes, with a good tone all whilst being like 79 years old. Wow, Jon is amazing isn't he.
Amazing Anderson can sing good as 50 years ago -quite incredible! Hes having the best time playing with these guys!
Joyous and astonishing! Jonners looking so happy and sounding so good!
Richie, you are AWESOME on this!!! LONG LIVE JON ANDERSON!!!! ♥
@TapeheadToo - thanks for all your YES concert recordings. You are the best. I am in your debt
Magnificent.
Love the effort...
Pretty sure Squire is traveling with this band
He will probably be late.
@@eilidh771 Yep! He always was before
That's how it's done. And, done properly. Very nice.
Simply amazing that Jon’s voice is still unmistakably identifiable in his autumn of life … truly incredible!!
O my glob! Jon still sounds so wonderful!! At 78 1/2 years old his voice is still at 97% as strong and pure as it was 50 years ago.
I just about started to cry when he really got going and put his heart into it.
Andy is doing a fantastic job covering Steve Howe's parts! As a longtime guitarist, I can attest that Steve is one of the greatest ever and his parts are not usually easy to play.
Ritchie is doing well playing Chris' parts, but I don't like the lead guitarist solo he plays at the start.
Chris could play solos here & there but he never sounded like he was just a lead guitarist with a bass in his hands.
Playing in Concord, NH (Concord Center for the Arts) on June 22, 2024. I have my tix! First lineup I've been eager to see in years.
That was a great show. I'm going to Beverly MA in September. Wonder if they will change the setlist a bit from part 1 of the tour.
Jon sounds great. Such a cool idea to get The Band Geeks on board for these live shows.
Crazy, but this could be the new Yes line up. And I wouldn't be unhappy with that.
YES this is very exciting can’t wait to hear the new material Jon Anderson and geek band making new yes music it’s what true yes fans have been waiting for
There is no yes without Anderson watch out impersonators and ego trippers 😊 God bless Jon for ❤
God bless you Richie and company. Living the dream.
I dont know why but this sounds so fresh ❤
Extraordinary Performance!!!!!!!!
Great Jon..yes is alive
Wonderful hey Jon how about making a new Yes album with these guys ♥️
It's happening! Don't know how much like Yes it will be, but Jon and Band Geeks collaborated for an record that will be released later this year. He just announced it on his site. Both Ritchie and Jon did actually.
I was there! ...all the way from Rochester.
Was there that night…Jon was wonderful! Reminded me of decades past.The band was truly great! Loved it!
I hope they can extend this to West coast dates.
Squire ensinou que o contrabaixo pode ser a estrela da banda. Fantastico.
Best Yes since 2003
If it were just the The Band Geeks, this would "only" be a superlative cover/tribute, but with Jon Anderson it is better again - elevated to an "astral plane" perhaps. The musicianship is absolutely first class. I've seen a (TH-cam) live version of this done by ABHW and even Bill Bruford (a brilliant drummer) doesn't entirely replicate his own drum parts! The drummer here really does a great job. I can listen over and over to the first 4 or 5 minutes - one of the great prog music passages of all time for me and done to perfection here.
WOW! Absolutely AWESOME! Considering the GIGANTIC shoes of the original musicians to play this music that the Band Geeks are trying to fill, I would say UNBELIEVABLY GREAT! I just can't say enough good about the talent of these musicians! Please bring this tour out west! ARIZONA!!!
0:35 As amazing of a bass solo as I've ever heard from Chris, Geddy, Les, JPJ, Paul, John E., Flea, or anyone else from the rock and roll lineage. *chef's freaking kiss
This is best sounding Yes music for decades. Argh, Im tormented being so far from this 🤯 😉
They put the Steve Howe Cover band to shame
It is OK if it not perfect. I get to see JA at 78 singing the songs he and I know are the Yes Classics. " we waited all our lives for this moment ".
moments moments moments.....
The Maestro! I can't wait to see them this Saturday in Baltimore!
Wonderfull!
THIS is KILLER!!!! Finally, finally a drummer does justice to the opening drums with the bass and the buildup part! White and Bruford always did such boring drumming compared to the studio recording which is so awesome.
That Bass 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This tour is so great, so well done, so well timed. Easily the best thing to happen since ARW folded.
I was there!
Hi Woo Bino....i remember you from the Richie livestreams. I bet it was a blast to be there.
And what was the name of this band again? Yes? They don`t own the name but THEY know the art of music and they kick ass!
They put the Steve Howe Cover band to shame!!!
I’d rather see Jon Anderson with Band Geeks over the Steve Howe ensemble that calls themself yes. No offense to Steve but he’s losing his chops with age. These guys and Jon put on a flawless show.
@@twinsmm1 and very up tempo, when it matters...
Increible jhon Anderson . fenomenal
Ahhh...You arrive again! Yay!! TY. Great night!
Que bien Jon suena fantástico.
...and accomplishment....
They are playing on Long Island this summer 2024
Please come to Ct. I miss seeing Yes in concert
Super bassiste !
Soy amante de la música de Yes desde siempre. Excelente trabajo. Y a Jon se lo nota inmensamente FELIZ de sentirse acompañado de estos genios musicales.IMPRESIONANTE.
Chris y Alan 👏👏 aplauden desde el cielo
Well done chaps !
Maybe the best this song has ever sounded
With all respect, I am aggravated with Steve not taking Jon back into Yes.
get the sound system built up ' SOUNDS GREAT
Band Geeks are cool. Why did Ritchie shave his head?
Well, just look at his dad. He was well on his way to losing it on his own.
@@twinsmm1 Hadn't watched Ritchie in a while. Just hoped it was that and not any medical issues.
Jon Anderson appears to be high on life. Wish I had his happy pills.
Well this is pissy. 54 years i have been following this band from the bottom of the world. Never playing when i was in the n hemisphere, some turn up her when iwas yup there. Ever gotto seethem live.
Perhaps they would like to tour NZ before one of us dies.
Thank goodness for you tube
Make a quality video please ! :-)
when was this theatrical ' dated
There all aliens.
Pity ..no chance to perform with steve. Rick and bill.
Bill is retired and Howe should be
Sorry to say that the bass section was not that good.
Way to ruin a great bass part
Ну и бред играют...
Not liking the Lead Guitar solo on the bass at the beginning 😒🙁
Ok, Richie. You can play, love you. But this bass solo section it's not a electric guitar shredding fest. More "ebbs and flows" would be more tasteful.
I don't know. Chris Squire played bass like a lead instrument. If this was Mike and the Mechanics then yeah, sit in the pocket and groove. I like Richie's let it rip attitude, especially on Heart of the Sunrise. That's not a subtle song.
Chris played bass like a low frequency lead guitar, melding the bass’ as part of the rhythm section with a musical lead that makes Yes music rather unique. I think Ritchie’s doing a great job, filling Chris’s big shoes while making the music his own.
When Ritchie is improvising he should do whatever he feels. Artistic license is fine. Squire loved to improvise and just like Ritchie he was REALLY GOOD at it!
You have the same thing in The Ritual at 2/3rds through the song... It might not be explicitly in HotS, but that how Chris played the bass :D
