That place should’ve exploded when these young musicians finished. THAT WAS REMARKABLY TERRIFIC!!! They are blessed to have such a deep bench of talented vocalists. I sure hope they’re still making music! A School Of Rock House Band Dad Who Really Knows How Hard These Kids WORK! Chris in NJ
Aaaaaaaagggghhhh!!!!! The way it cuts off - what a tragedy!!!! Yes, that was both badass and kick-ass - not easy to pull off. When Ricky Wilson (RIP) was the heartbeat of the band, the B52's were an entirely different animal - punky-punchy-dance - with great vocals. Here, the young musician playing drums is the heart of this band. Everyone was great, don't get me wrong but the drummer drove that beautiful, crazy train!
The blonde handling the lead vocals looks fairly young, but she has an incredible voice and great control over it. Hope she keeps it as she grows up, but she's really ready to record or go to Broadway now.
That young guitarist! Killed it! Great job on some tough links. The best part is knowing for sure that people will be listening to the most gifted band ever long after we are gone
Wow. Not a weak link in the chain. Vocals, guitars, flute, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion all right on. Kudos to the SoR people that pull this all together. Seeing young people bring great music back to life gives me hope. 😎😜😁
I'm amazed how many of these kids look as well as sound like like the artists they are playing. Accoustic guitar guy could be a '70's Steve Howe from Yes
It is gratifying and moving to see young people of the 21st century sing a classic from the band Yes. Congratulations young people for their excellent musical taste!
I shot this, and I assure you, not one note was tweaked in post-production. Hell, I was editing these things on the train from Cleveland to Philadelphia, and I had no time to do anything like that. This is exactly what these young people sound like.
The remarkable part is that these young musicians are from different schools. They learned the parts on their own, then got together for two and a half days of rehearsal before their first show.
I just love how much kids of their age seem to be enjoying themselves so much playing a song that probably came out even before their parents were born!
OMG, I've long believed that only Jon Anderson could sing this with emotions, and I was wrong all the way ! You nailed it perfectly and made my day. Kudos to you all kids !
Jon himself is a big fan of the School of Rock program, and has performed with various locations. Here's a video from 6 years ago of Jon performing with St Louis School of Rock: ruclips.net/video/iqRXbO5gQEg/видео.html
Excellent excellent! My favorite part of these SoR performances is how the musicians (they are musicians, not 'kids') take these classic tunes and make them their own rather than simply imitating.
These School of Rock videos are an endless source of amazement...they choose great, interesting songs (many of which, including this one, are notably difficult to cover) and often knock them out of the park. It's not intuitive to me why high school kids would be better live performers than almost every professional cover band I've ever seen, but that seems to be the case. Thanks so much, MWC, for all you post.
What a mystery that Ashley Van Helden, the lead singer here, seems to have vanished from the internet. So talented and passionate about her singing, I'd love to see some newer stuff.
She could be in graduate school. One of the things that I found about these kids is, in addition to being brilliant musicians, they also excel academically.
Ya think the lead singer (Ashley Van Helden) was having the time of her life on this one? And the guitarist playing the white Tele taking on Steve Howe's parts like "No sweat". I've played this live before, and for me, it was a sweat.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Man, You're doing fine... better than so many other's uploaded here... and a MILLION TIMES better than me. Keep up the good work, and please, take any and ALL criticism as it is... simply criticism. You will Go Much Farther if you can.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 For some reason you're questioning why I always believe it gets better One difference between you and I Your heart is inside your head One word from you, one word from me A clear design on your liberty Who could believe when love has gone How we move on like everyone Only such fools Only such jealous hearts Only through love changes come
Can we talk about the bass player nailing a little bit of Chris Squire’s greatness. And how about young Steve Howe? And of course the vocals. Just awesome.
I'm impressed totally awesome and yes it's amazing that that song is at this stage over 50 years old and yes the vocals are spot on for the cover they're presenting totally excellent this was one of the first albums that I got when I was all of 13 years old LOL and I started my vinyl collection
They are much better than any "professional band ".These kids are great. And it looks like they are having fun. Great video and sound quality. I'll take all this you can give me.
Glenn Payne Thank you very much. I've been recording performances by some of these young musicians for years, and their love of making music makes it all worth it. I'll eventually have full concerts up.
Muy bueno, ojalá Steve Howe pusiera en sus filas a la cantante líder de este team, le daría un rejuvenecimiento a la música de Yes, que aparte de todo no pierde vigencia, bueno muy bueno los chicos que son de generaciones tan distinta de la de los viejos que hemos seguido y seguimos a Yes, bien por el team 3
Lead Female vocalist killed it and the Flutist was right on...thanks I enjoy this.

I can't stop myself from watching this Masterpiece! - so many talented musicians - but what a stunning voice on the young lady on lead vocals - WOW!
This girl is a remarkably good singer.
Whatever that undefinable "It" is, she has it.
I've been a YES fan for 50 years. Not an easy song to play. These kids did a tremendous job. Credit for even attempting it. I want this show on dvd!
Close to the edge...
Don't kill the whales...
And You And I...

Love this girl's voice. Well done.
me too

Oh my goodness!!! These kids did such a great job on this rock classic!!!
That young guitarist! Killed it! Great job on some tough links. The best part is knowing for sure that people will be listening to the most gifted band ever long after we are gone
Glory is upon her
That cat playing the Strat doing the lead stuff has got it going on! Nicely done!
Telecaster?
Really excellent performance. That's coming from a big YES fan who first saw them in the 70's. I wish more young people would check out their music.
The guitarist killed it!
Wow. Not a weak link in the chain. Vocals, guitars, flute, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion all right on. Kudos to the SoR people that pull this all together. Seeing young people bring great music back to life gives me hope. 😎😜😁
I am the biggest YES fan in the world. If i like this video then you know it has to be good! Phenomenal job by everyone on stage!!!
I'm amazed how many of these kids look as well as sound like like the artists they are playing. Accoustic guitar guy could be a '70's Steve Howe from Yes
Wow the lead singer is fantastic! Great tone.
You guys KILLED it! Shoutout to white Telecaster guy... Those solos and fills were sweet!
So happy that today's Young teenagers are listening to good music 🎶🎶🎶
That was awesome! The bass & keyboard players had huge shoes to fill- and the sounded great. Great job!
It is gratifying and moving to see young people of the 21st century sing a classic from the band Yes. Congratulations young people for their excellent musical taste!
She nailed it they all did a great job on this song..
Thank goodness these kids are playing the classics and not the digital music with auto tune . Keeping the rock alive!
I shot this, and I assure you, not one note was tweaked in post-production. Hell, I was editing these things on the train from Cleveland to Philadelphia, and I had no time to do anything like that. This is exactly what these young people sound like.
Beautiful! As an old geezer who has seen it done live, I salute you.
Unbelievable. Great feeling!!!
Fantastic job. The lead singer is a star!
Just love the energy. So much fun.
it's neat to see young people appreciate a 50 year-old-classic song.
They nailed this one. Well done and the lead singer has a awesome voice
The remarkable part is that these young musicians are from different schools. They learned the parts on their own, then got together for two and a half days of rehearsal before their first show.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 😮😮😮
And the guitarist, bassist, keyboardist have awesome chops.
I'm guessing you don't play a musical instrument 🤔
@@larryscheller2476 just the drums till I was around 30 so for about 15 years but what does that have to do with my comment?
@@skipwilliam5639 it would be the difference between an educated opinion and an uneducated one .
The sound quality did not to justice to these great performers.
I just love how much kids of their age seem to be enjoying themselves so much playing a song that probably came out even before their parents were born!
Holy moly ! That was just incredible 😊
Wow! How nice!
21st century YES!
Great harmonies
WOW.... what a great job all across the board. Great singers and that lead singer.. She knocked it out of the park. What a voice!!!
Absolutely crushed it. #Stl
beautiful!!! the harmonies were spot on....
Killed it, kittens.
Well done with a special shout out for the lead and all the vocals.

Amazing performance and GREAT ENERGY

That was awesome. I was getting chills, especially the 2nd part of the song when it started to rock out.
All were great but WOW! That lead girls voice is uncommonly amazing!
Lots of energy,good job to all these kids ! Well done. All of them.
The Season of Bob Dylan is at present [Spring]. Just as new growth of Spring, Bob Dylan's a Gemini Sun and Taurus Moon of Spring, reflects newly.
Those harmonies!!! Excellent!
Brave, very brave, to take on this amazing tune......and didn't you do well👋👋👍
Ashley Van Helden is great and very charming singer. I would like to see her sing Refugees by Van Der Graaf Generator.
Greetings from Czech Republic!
Very impressive and fun!
Execellent job by all!! Loved it!!
Thank you so much!
Awesome Voice. And Great job by the rest of the band.

Okay, you passed the test. Now go out and create your own musical masterpiece.
YES - a big group
I think the keyboardist takes the biscuit, to be honest. Very talented
Outstanding...!
Very nice blend of vocals. 👍
Pretty damn good!
At 3:29 you see the quality of the band's cover go up a quantum level, as they really get into the 'all good people' section of the song.
Absolutely incredible!! Bravo!
This is so amazing absolutely heartfelt and beautiful
Goosebumps , longtime Yes fan . Seen them live 6 times . Besides the guitarist pick up being to quiet , stellar performance !!
Vocal perfection! Outstanding!
Holy F-ing S! Simply amazing. SOR gets better year after year. Your talent coud fill and auditorium. I Love SRO. 🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎😍😍😍
They definitely adapted this for their time, both sonically and visually.
I've watched loads of these school of rock videos over the past few weeks, this is possibly the best yet, really well done.
Agree also check out In The Light and ANYTHING with Livia Overton
The Yes Album (1971). Band's third LP.
Yes, yes, yes!
Very well done!!!!!
Extremely talented musicians I’ve heard a lot of covers of this song and I have to say this is best ever great musicianship from everyone 💫🌟
Man I love this every time I see it
Whoever mixed this must have LOVED the lyrics.
Sorry, I only get the stereo feed to the speakers, and it is usually guitar and bass shy due to the volume of those instruments on the stage.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Man, You're doing fine... better than so many other's uploaded here... and a MILLION TIMES better than me.
Keep up the good work, and please, take any and ALL criticism as it is... simply criticism. You will Go Much Farther if you can.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 For some reason you're questioning why
I always believe it gets better
One difference between you and I
Your heart is inside your head
One word from you, one word from me
A clear design on your liberty
Who could believe when love has gone
How we move on like everyone
Only such fools
Only such jealous hearts
Only through love changes come
If at least one of these kids get home and put an Yes album to listen, the job is done. Congrats, great job.
Great job!!
Awesome job, guys!
Awesome kids.
Wow! Very impressed!!
Great cover !!
I love seeing how they are really into performing it!
Brought a tear to me eye 🙂
