So happy that you finally did a Yes review! I'd humbly suggest that you also take a listen (or do a review of a Yes tune where Steve Howe and Chris Squire are on guitar and bass. Their original bassist, Chris Squire, came up singing church choral music with all its harmonic complexity. His voice , along with Steve Howe taking the low harmonies are perfect behind Jon Anderson. The harmonies are complex, and they were masters at contrapuntal harmony back in the day. And You and I from the Symphonic Yes tour would be a great example

Jon has been performing since he joined our local church choir back in the late fifties, he wanted to be a footballer but was considered too fragile and so picked up a guitar and started a Skiffle band with his brother and friends. Seeing the Beetles in 63 blew his mind and pushed him to take music seriously and his band 'The Warriors' got a record deal from DECCA and a part in a film. Forming YES is the late sixties means that any track that you will hear them play today with be a very polished performance. The huskiness in Jon's voice on his song will be due to all the sing done on that tour and he would have had his voice amplified so as to not have to strain his voice.

It's a complicated story, but in short: the band had broken up and there were now two bands with ex-band members, but only one was allowed to call itself "Yes". The complete concert is available on video on KZfaq. Everything worth hearing. My recommendations: "And You And I", "Roundabout" and "Perpetual Change".

Check out live versions of some of Yes's heyday classics from the 70s: songs like Roundabout, Close to the Edge, Heart of the Sunrise, Perpetual Change, South Side of the Sky, And You and I, and Yours is No Disgrace. The list goes on. They are arguably the kings of progressive rock, and were superb musicians. My favourite period includes the albums The Yes Album, Fragile, and the pinnacle, Close to the Edge. And if you like the bass here, wait till you hear the bass master, the late Chris Squire (who also sang).

I discovered Yes back in the early 80s and this song was my introduction. And it's absolutely nuts that this voice hasn't lost an ounce of quality over all that time and it's just a clear as it was on the original studio recording. I don't recall any voice from those days that has been so well preserved.

What a treat watching you react to Jon Anderson’s amazing voice. Yes has been such a staple in my listening rotation for 50 years, it’s always surprising, to me, when someone hasn’t heard them. And as staggering as his voice is, it’s just one component of a band with virtuoso musicians on every instrument. I hope you give their earlier work a listen. The song, “Soon” is a great showcase for his vocals.

Jon Anderson has gotten even better over the years. Yes as a band had its creative peak in the seventies. But Jon's voice has never been as clear and shiny as in the later years. For me he is an perfect example of how much you can grow as an artist and as a singer even when you are older.

I would really recommend checking out some of their 70s material, perhaps And You and I from Symphonic Live. You heard a lot of what he does vocally, but that song + a lot of their music from that era (and that particular performance) is quite special.

"Did he always sound this good?" No. Take it from a Yes fan who's been listening to them since around the time this song was new: Jon is a freak (in a good way) who sounds better in his 70s - richer, more interesting, more powerful - than he did in his 20s and 30s. He really is one of a kind.

Jon Anderson is amazing, their keyboardist here, Rick Wakeman is also probably one of the top 10 keyboardists of all time if not #1. If you want to hear something amazing look up Rick Wakeman Merlin and find his solos. The live recording on CD I had ages ago I swore he had someone on a xylophone or similar backing him and no that was pure raw speed on the keys. Yes did part of the soundtrack for the game Homeworld, and the band itself has had more than just Jon as their singer, but Jon has been just amazing when with the band.
@Doutsoldome Жыл бұрын
Yeah, Rick Wakeman is fantastic. His first three solo albuns, _The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey to the Centre of the Earth_ and _The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table_ are all excellent. For shorter songs that are really good and very well sang, I suggest some from the later album _Return to the Centre of the Earth._ Especifically, _Is Anybody There?,_ sang by Bonnie Tyler, and _Mr. Slow,_ sang by Tony Mitchell. Beyond being a terrific keyboardist, Wakeman is a master songwriter.

If he's this good in his 70s, imagine how much better he was in his prime. To my amateur ears, he seemed to be holding back, saving his voice for the high notes he did sing. In the original recording, there was no holding back. This was a huge crossover hit back in the day.

Interesting that you right away latched onto the way his voice sounds. When asked about the meaning of the lyrics in some of their songs, Jon Anderson said that when writing he's more focused on how a word sounds and fits in with the music than he is with any consistent meaning behind the word choices.

So i did it right that i never even tried to understand their lyrics and only listen to voice as another instrument 😄 I mean, seriously .. read the lyrics of "Tales from Topographic Oceans" .. then you know what i mean. "Olias of Sunhillow" however was at least a nice fantasy/scifi story that was easy to understand. Btw. i always think about Olias when i see the episode from Star Trek Deep Space Nine where Sisko builts this "ancient" space ship with the solar sails. That whole thing also just looks so Roger Dean 😲

@@beldin2987 Some of them are like that, I think Bowie said you used to do that too, he'd cut out sentences from magazines that he'd read that sounded cool, and then mix up the words. But some he's actually given the story behind, that one with the purple flying, OK, I can't remember anymore, but I remember there's one song that I had NO clue what it was about, it seemed gibberish, but then he explained exactly what each meant, and it was just really DEEP, not nonsensical at all. Sometimes in interviews though when he's told some stories he seems like a bit of a jerk though, but not Roger Waters level jerk:)
