Cover?? Dare I say this is ON PAR with the original or - EGADS! - perhaps an even better version? And I've been an immense Yes fan from Day One. The Band Geeks are insanely talented. I just listened to this entire song shaking my head in near-disbelief. Someone from the original group needs to contact these world-class musicians and THANK THEM for carrying on their music in such a profound, glorious way. And no, this isn't some drunken rambling, just water tonight, lol.

Heh it’s quite possible, I was the guitarist in a band covering bunches of Yes when I was 15, lol. We did Siberian Katrina, All Good People, even The Ancient from Tales. We did Rush and Kansas too. Steve Howe was my idol though. I ended up jamming in an office with him years later 👍. He is cool but quite strange. His improv ability was stunning. Copying his already done stuff was one thing, but creating like him, well that isn’t so easy!

Well, they used to be my favorite band. I don't really play favorites anymore but if I did I suppose they would be number one. I've seen them ten times(actually 11 including ABWH). I was a really huge fan. I kind of lost interest after Jon Anderson left though(only saw them twice in the post JA era and it just wasn't the same without him).

I cant stop with the watching of these videos. Working at a high professional level as a singer/multi-instrumentalist & touring utility player for several major label artists as well as being a life-long prog and especially YES fan, I am blown the f away. Having seen YES play this song on the "Talk" tour, I'll add that Richie's guitar tones are nearly identical to Rabin's ... no easy feat. Cheers, Band Geeks! Requests? Big Generator.

An excellent Rabin era Yes song done with amazing accuracy. Actually the young lady's vocals give it an extra bit of urgency which suits the song quite well. Richie nailed Rabin's arrangement on guitar. I always felt this could have been a top ten singles type track and this cements my belief. It's uplifting and moving. I am awed by you guys!
