Indeed

Correct characterization. The Band Geeks with Jon Anderson are closer to real Yes than Steve Hose’s ego trip.

@@jdrosborough Exactly. The real fans get it.

I'm 19 and this sounds great to me ! Not as great as you in the 80's , but great compared to the sh*t that produce my generation !

@@eliotdurczak3362 The fact as a 19 YO you have found this music and appreciate it is an amazing effort in itself.

@@melbman43 I'm 13 and have been listening to Yes for 1/4 of a year now.

@@chwthomas09 What's your favourite Album?

@@melbman43 Either Close To The Edge, Topographic Oceans, Time And A Word, or 90125. I can't decide between those 4.

"But the cape, the "Squire Cape".....? what could go wrong...

No one can reacreate Chris sound. No one! Chis is Chris! And I miss him evry single note I hear from today-Yes. But Billy is a good musician, a friend of Chris. So we love him.

Creo que Sherwood no intenta copiar a Squire, sino que le pone su estilo, así como hizo Rabin no trato de imitar a Howe, en lo que respecta a la vestimenta tal vez le este haciendo un honor a su maestro Squire, es muy buen musico Sherwood!!

@Jeremy Spade I wonder where you were sitting.

Spot on. This dude is a fraud.

True true but the musicianship. I miss Chris and Jon but the guys do pretty good. The best bands don't reunite. Beatles, Floyd, Yes, Genesis.

Small theater in Houston called the Arena theater. The round stage spins you always have changing views. Really close to the stage…

????? not well mixed drums to loud the voices not really nice it is a pity !

He's slow , sluggish and behind the beat.. If you want to hear who SHOULD be in the drum chair, check they guy playing in Jon Adersons geek band...

Hello Austin, God bless you brother! May the Grace of God be with you!

100%. Not even close. I can‘t listen to that voice. Love Howe but it is not close.

So good they named him twice🤪

@Jeremy Spade Jeremy, if you don't enjoy this, you can watch Yessongs, union live, or just listen to other famous bands. Don't waste so much of your time watching this, I say.

I was at this concert and the sound was amazing. This video does not really do it justice.

@@shageevideo this does not do the name and legacy of Yes any justice whatsoever

It’s the final part of Starship Trooper a 9 minute song this part is amazing, I agree

Geoff don't know the first think 'bout keyboarding...He, the worst YES ever put behind the ivories...

@@1adneumann Well I wouldn't say that! Asia stuff was quite good...

@Jeremy Spade I almost bought the first asia album in a record store. However, it wasn't in good condition, so I left it.

@Jeremy Spade Just don't file it under "Prog"; it was anything but.....

@Jeremy Spade Dunno; a few years prior, Wetton was in the greatest Crimso lineup, tearing it up w/ Bruford,, then this?Kinda like ELP going from B.S.S. to "Love Breach"😭

@Jeremy Spade I guess you know nothing about the history of the band. This band has lineage to the band started by Chris Squire in 1968.

@Jeremy Spade 🙄 it was Chris' band. He asked Alan & Steve to keep it going with Billy. The band started 1968 when Jon joined Chris' band Mable Greer's Toyshop. It morphed into YES when Peter Banks came up with the new shorter name. Chris kept it alive until his last days when he made his dying wish that it continue.

Not sure why. I hope you find a way…

@@SunFellow941 likely a Facebook issue. The thumbnail is visible in KZfaq and is an original one

I do too, it adds to the mood

😃

No there no guarantee the Eddie Offord did not speed up things a bit from time to time during his tenure

I was there, too. I don’t know if you remember seeing a guy in a King Crimson shirt and a black hat but that was me. That was probably the most t-shirts of The Who I’ve seen at one time since the ‘80’s. I’m guessing they were at the show the night before

slowly and painfully

Wonderful to see a new generation of Yes fans!

I agree, I have been a Steve Howe follower for most of my life. I even spent a week at a guitar camp with him. Total #%$#hole I doubt that Jon would want to work with him anymore as Steve’s skills have waned drastically the last couple of years. Leaves out half of the notes and plays at a snails pace compared to to years ago. Some people ripen with age. Not this guy.

@Jeremy Spade I don't think so. Fly from here was pretty damned good. Give me the quote and maybe it will jar my memory.

Seen them at least 20x. Steve is the guy. On the In The Presence tour without a keyboard ( Breslin gone by then) Steve carried it on his skills. His guitar work at Portsmouth Va on Perputual Change bests Clapton, et Al hands down , best ever for me

Steve Howe 53 years in the band ... Of course i would prefer Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, etc. but their music will outlive them...

@@marcelonic1 not yes,and they suck

Ah, ABWH was the best Yes cover band ever, go figure why. I have nothing against actual members, they have great qualities, but it has became more a Yes cover band with Steve Howe... But... would they want to work with Steve again? Bruford back from retirement to play "casual" stuff? Well, maybe if he thinks his pension is too low?

@@harounel-poussah6936 If Bill won't un retire, we'll let the current Yes drummer or the ARW drummer play drums.

@@Jay_Tee2023 : I think that Portnoy may know how to play some Yes songbook on the drums, and he can sing at the same time, moreover, he has a very good feeling with Tony Levin... But aren't we a bit egoist? Shouldn't we let 'em simply retire before things go pathetic. Do you remember the last time Lionel Hampton took the stage. Moreover, there are many young great ones, gosh, just listen to Maria Barbieri doing Fracture and Larks Tongues. Tina S. preferred to give up and focus on her sciences studies foreseeing a dubious future (better NOT be a virtuoso in France!)... Maybe should I translate Siron's book in English (errr, well, only if I'm nicely paid, c'mon, 758 pages and you have the tools to go Ligeti if you feel like doing so, and , moreover, it's easy to understand. You'd probably have to read half of Berkeley's library about harmonizing and have a hard time linking the dots while this book does it for you)... We're too affective towards the stuff we got high on when we were kids in the 70's/80's so Prog is becoming classical musing and so, by essence, is no more Prog... Thus, in some ways... Yes was highly anchored into classical, except for Bruford... Fripp probably did the right thing by disbanding KC, thus, I also had a hard time still calling it KC, it was more the 21st Century Schizoid Band ft. KC members: coming back with the early-KC songbook, well, I felt uncomfy with it: I've always preferred when they took risks!

@@harounel-poussah6936 So Portnoy it is!!! That or retirement...Also, Carl Palmer would be allowed to play drums

@@Jay_Tee2023 : Holy crap, I though he passed too! I must say that I was pretty away from the music in the last years: In 2014, I stated there was nothing to do, so... I did nothing... Now I see positive moves: the vinyls are back!

save your money

@@thomasrudy6132 Yes. Was a bit disappointing disappointing. The laid back tempos of the songs was strange.. Steve Howe was great on his acoustic songs but would fall behind the beat on his arpeggio lines that is his trademark. AWR had the killer rhythm section plus Jon Anderson. Big advantage there. Now the Band Geeks going on tour with Jon next year should be amazing! Look them up here on KZfaq

@@NormanPeterson i've seen their videos, that won't be YES either, hope the don't use the name

@@thomasrudy6132 It's Jon Anderson.. Singing songs mostly wrote and singing lyrics he totally wrote. Its a night of YES music with Jon Anderson...With a killer band!

@@NormanPeterson still won't be YES, that band no longer exists

it was recorded on a phone for heavens sake....

Go and fill they shoes..Rock Star

@@eliazardelugo9467 Drummer is pathetic... slows everything down... so bad.,.
