Jon Anderson(YES) on tour in Europe. Concert in Valkenburg (The Netherlands) on 05.08.2023. It was a marvellous concert and his voice was fresh and full of energy. Jon (78 years old) was in a good mood and his voice sounded celestial. He gave this pupils much energy and you saw him making musical contact with them. He performed 'Starship Trooper' (1971) from the record 'The Yes Album' together with the young musicians of the 'Paul Green Rock Academy (US). They are not older than 18 years.

I could only hope these young people will form a Prog rock band with a "Yes" type sound and talent. These kids are a GREAT band waiting to happen!😃

As a 70 odd year old I felt quite emotional not only hearing Jon sounding fabulous but these kids playing and clearly loving the music that was such a part of my teenage life. Thank you all

He is way over 50. I think he may be times less. He is not an older man. He has become an Ancestor

Too bad there aren't more younger fans who aren't musicians discovering this music. Based on the comments and what I've seen in concert Yes fans are still mostly well...not younger people let's put it that way. ;)

I see lots of old iconic singers who can’t do it anymore, most recently Lou Gramm and Jon Bon Jovi. Jon Anderson is quite remarkable. He looks all of his 78 years but sounds close to his younger self. Love it.

@bak-mariterry5180 10 ай бұрын

Lou has had some health problems/ issues for some time. So,if he's not killing it like before, I understand. Bon Jovi , never been a fan .

55 years, to the month, when Yes first performed in public ... we have this ... truly a tribute to the band and all who sailed in her! Congratulations to the young people who play in this, for they surely recognise the greatness of that band. A fantastic performance from Jon of Darwen and all involved.

The Kids are Kicking ASS!!! Incredible they have worked so hard to learn this...as it is an extremely difficult jam to learn...love the look on Jon Andersons face- he LOVES it... makes me think Yes's music may last for hundreds of years if todays generation loves it like that, maybe the next and the next generation will too..because it is just that magical and majestic...Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Debussy would concur..
