    Thank Goodness you found these guys, Jon...... A Perfect Mach. I'm a great fan of Yes since the very first album and I know every single note of every instrument in all of the songs and the Band Geeks are being incredibly competent! If I may say just one thing, I would ask to have more volume on the bass and perhaps more attack from the excellent bass player, as the main feature of Chris Squire's was his unmistakable sound which was the hallmark of the band....
    So....MORE BASS, PLEASE!!!! CHEERS AND I SALUTE YOU ALL.

    It is wonderful to see this music reborn and played accurately with energy like it was almost back in the 1970's.

      Thanks for the comment! My first show was around the same time as I saw them at RFK Stadium with Gary Wright and Peter Frampton! Quite the day in the stadium! Yes definitely were in their prime for that show!

      Jon’s great here! Someone should send notes to Davison on how to properly perform these songs!
      It’s not (just) about the vocal range.

      Many thanks for your comments Michael! I just posted my last video from the concert and one of my favorites. "Awaken" which Jon plays harp on. This is a song only Jon can do too! So agree they don't make music like this anymore....enjoy from this 66 year old!

      @@philipthomas6808 “he needs”?? Surely if he’s a different drummer then he can have a slight interpretation. Instead of “needing” to play like White or Bruford? Will never be like them two because he’s neither of them ahah. Still very accurate to the record. Gives off a very exciting feel. Just like on the record. I imagine he’s enjoying playing the music a lot! A big win for the prog community 🤘
