I'd say it's important to remember to enjoy your musicians whilst you still can, no matter which lineup you'd prefered since they are unfortunately not going to be able to stay with us for too much longer as age and illness or even death will eventually catch up with them.
I understand Steve H's desire to keep going, but this a 'Yes tribute band'. It's nice that Yes's music has enough people appreciating it that this band can keep it going. But despite how great Steve is, I don't think I would have been listening to Yes music for 50+ years if this was the line-up in 1972. I could only watch a couple of minutes of this.
My sentiments entirely .... Its a little sad really, but Steve Howe is still as great as he ever was..... it's just the rest of the "tribute" band that seem a bit .... wanting !!
Agreed 100%! I’ve seen Jon Anderson three times. The first two times were when he formed ARW with Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman, and then again last year with The Band Geeks. All three shows were amazing! That was more YES sounding than whatever this is. It’s NOT YES without Jon Anderson, and everyone knows it. Geoff Downes is no Rick Wakeman and should’ve stayed with Asia. This “YES” makes my heart sad and my ears bleed. If you haven’t heard, Jon Anderson is releasing a new album this Summer with the Band Geeks and I’m so excited! Can’t wait! Go see Jon with the Band Geeks! They rock!
Nobody can replace the originals! Especially Anderson and Squire. I've seen them at least 10 times and there are no replacements period. Although Anderson and the Geek Band sound GREAT! Going to see them 5/30/2024 State theater New Brunswick NJ. Can't Wait!!!
Like everybody says you can't replace Chris squire what's the act by himself wakeman was also a master Anderson and of course Ellen White I seen them so many times this band just don't cut it but at least Steve Howe is trying to keep it going from looks it looks like he won't be around too much longer I hope I'm wrong glad I was there for the original lineup Golden memories God bless
Steve is from another galaxy... gosh, he is such an extraordinary guitar player!!! I am from Argentina and I am really sad they weren't able to come. I wouldn't have missed this show!!!!
Howe ist ein völlig überschätzer Gitarrist. Da gibt es schon allein mit den Vornamen Steve bessere als ihn. Steve Lukather, Steve Morse, Steve Hacket. Und nicht zu vergessen, Al di Meola, Alan Holdsworth, um nur ein paar zu nennen.
@@Bosiota1 Wakeman was a force to be reckoned with as well; his followup album to Fragile: The Six Wives of Henry the Eigth is still worth a listen; great stuff!
@@gettyshilohI was very disappointed by that album was at least for me very self indulgent and comic book like where the Yes albums to that point were epic and emotional. Musicianship is not much unless you put some emotion into it
Say what you will. I saw them in 2024,they played Yours is no Disgrace and it took me to Planet 70's for 10 minutes. Excellent Musicians, every one of them.
I love that they are still at it. The musicianship is still there, and they would not be out there if it sucked because these guys truly care about the music. I love it. It's a small venue, but they're still bringing it, regardless. They do it because they love it.
@j.schmittler4905 I 100% agree with you there my friend. I think the new keyboard sounds, different bass tone, new drum style and different singing timbre have honestly made this an incredible feel good group to watch or listen to in the 2020s. The small venues is more conducive to the lack of star power, and Steve Howe was never one to actively want extreme fame. He has said time and time again such things as, "I just wanted to be like Chet Atkins and fiddle in the back of the band [...] If I have to take a leader role I will do so because the situation demands it!" I think the current mindset of the band is just to keep going. Just like Chris and Alan wanted them to, just like Tony and Bill give them permission to, just like Trevor Horn wants them to. There are far more people close to the YES world who are keen for the band to continue than not. As for the fandom, well I think they are attracted a new generation of fans with the new music and new members. I am certainly one of them, and I think their 3 live albums with participations from Alan, as well as their 2 studio albums have proved well enough that the band still has the soul and meaning it always had. The musicianship is not the only thing - the fact that these musicians are so unwavered in their commitment to it brings tears to my eyes weekly when I listen to them. The emotion behind the lineup we have now is why I listen to them, not whether or not Steve can play as well as he did at 27 as he can at 77. Hell, I hope he has a good 10 years left in him with the band, and I couldn't care less if they slow everything down even more!
My God, the judgy I'm reading in the comments below. Some of the commenters here should be ashamed. Many of these musicians won't be with us anymore, in as little as 10 years...or even 5. No grace. No appreciation. And no grateful attitudes of any kind. What is wrong with us? Just passing our judgy on as if it really matters what we think, imagine the hubris. These people actually played their instruments. And they actually sang with their own voices, in an era when very few young artists take the time and trouble to develop the skills and do that anymore. Really, it's amazing that anybody even bothers! I liked the song. It would have been nice to hear it live, and I've been to Yes shows, so I know what I'm talking about. This performance was good enough because it was shipshape enough. It is Yes. It might not be your favorite Yes, but seriously, anybody who says it isn't Yes is just being mean and crusty. We've learned nothing about the messages of love and kindness that earlier versions of this band and many others crafted a half-century or more ago. Concert's over with, now everybody please leave politely, and don't leave any trash in the parking lot! 🤨
Plenty of appreciation...just not a fan of trying to make something more of the talent than there is. It's over. Hang it up. It's okay to retire. Howe's a great guitarist. Shiddy human narcissist extraordinaire and complete asshole in person...but what a great talent to hide his lack of humanity.
Get over it folks. I saw this line up in Glasgow. They were fantastic, gave it their all and the crowd were on their feet. No band can duplicate the era when they were making it all up in their 20’s. I haven’t enjoyed a concert so much in years .. and they didn’t play a note from my favourite album .. Close to the Edge. 😀 The new singer did a great job with notoriously difficult vocal gymnastics.
I saw the classic lineup in Melbourne with Chris and Rick. These guys do justice to the music. Yes has always been a shifting ensemble of musicians. Chris would be proud of what Billy brings to the band,
I am a high school student in Japan and I love YES. I can't see the members who are already gone, such as Chris Squire, or Yes what it used to in person. But I am happy enough to see them live.♪🎸
One of my favorite bands ever. I've seen them in concert at least a dozen times dating back to the 1980 Drama tour. No matter the lineup on stage, I've never been unsatisfied with the performances they've provided for their fans.
It's the other guys who left the band,tony iommi of Sabbath was the only original but kept Sabbath going for the love of it,that's what Steve Howe is doing just carrying on the torch with new members! Still sounds great!
Well, in terms of “left the band,” Squire and White, uh, died. And Anderson was fired when he suffered respiratory illness and the band (Howe, mainly) refused to cancel a tour to wait for him to recover. And if you think that Davison and Downes “sounds great,” I am suspicious of your pedigree as a long-term Yes fan.
@@bdav7436 I don't know Steve Howe, but his guitar playing is great. As far as loyalty to Yes Chris Squire was the best. I'm not a stalker, just a fan.
Maybe, but he isn't 'Yes'🤨. He needs to reunite with Anderson, Bruford, White, Wakeman, Rabin, or anyone left🤔?! Steve🤩 has turned the band into a bunch of 'session musicians whores'🤑!!
Ohh gosh....I'm 68, haring Yes since the 70's...my Fav album "Fragile"....I can recognize each sound and instrument in "Roundabout" only Steve Hows guitar sound the same ( and those guitars are the same too..physically)....I miss the fat sound from the Chris Squire Rickenbaker bass...and his armonies in the song too....and I miss the Jon Anderson clear voice too...Time has passed!
Nein,dies ist nie und nimmer Yes.Seit Chris Squire nicht mehr dabei war,dann noch Alan White,ganz zu schweigen von Jon Anderson,er alleine war schon das Gesicht von Yes.Aber jetzt,eher Steve Howe und Freunde!!!😢
I saw the original band perform the Yes Songs tour back in the 70’s, and even got their autographs (except Chris Squires, who evidently didn’t think too highly of fans). What an amazing band.
The keyboard player is Geoff Downes, he was the keyboardist on the Yes "Drama" album, he actually kicks ass but not on this particular song, the focus here is on Steve, and rightly so.
@@geraldcarpentier7440 Uhhh, have you listened to him stumble through the older, (classic) material? He's simply terrible. He rates an F, or maybe a D-
I do not care if this is called a Tribute Band by some who feel compelled to do so- Because it is a Band that deserves tribute - But Mainly I would Never miss a chance to hear Steve Howe take us to other dimensions even at this stage. He is in the all time great musicians family and will be so forever!!! Several times I saw him with Yes in small venues several times in the late 90s and early 2000s in addition to the 70s in Big Venues and he literally brought Tears of Joy!!
Although not all og's but Steve did get the right players to deliver... This singer sound so close to Jon is amazing.. with all respect bring back Jon he deserves it or have both singers?
they hate each other and have for 40 years. The cosmic lesson of 1972 being juxtaposed with the rest of the story is the actual life lesson of the band.. Bruford knew. Fire up some Earthworks..
I wish it could be so simple! Jon Davison met Jon Anderson at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame afterparty and expressed his gratitude for the music he made, offering that they should do some music together. I think that's a beautiful moment in YES history and just demonstrates how love conquers all. "Love will find a wayyy"
Everyone of the guys on that stage is great and does a great job. I just do not get the same feelings from that first concert my parents took me to in 98 when I was only eight years old. I have to agree this is Steve Howe's Yes cover band doing a damn good job I have to add.
Yes, i saw Yes live in 1973 at the University of Cincinnati Fieldhouse. Burned a doobie in Burnett Woods prior to the show. Great memories. This yes is a No.
I saw Yes live in 1973 at the San Diego Sports Arena and everyone was passing doobies around legally, they had their own security and the police couldn't come in. But if you went outside in the parking lot and had anything on you, the police were out there waiting for you.
No No noooo. With this line ups, no way this would be called YES. YES is over, finished, history if it would not be Jon Anderson and Bill Brufford in the band, c’mon man, they are the living legend who formed Yes. This is simply Steve Howe and Friends. So sad to see this.
I don't care whether this is Yes or whatever. All that matters is that Steve Howe is there to delight us. He is a fabulous guitar player!!! Enjoy him!!!!(and the rest of the band as well; of course I miss Alan, Rick, Jon and, above all, Chris... but, whatever name, whatever members, they still are great. Just my thoughts, huh??).
Went to see Three Dog Night, Guess what fellows, We don’t live forever. Glad I got to see Gordon Lightfoot before he passed. He was 75. You won’t see 100% band members.
Es correcto... La inmortalidad de la música nada tiene que ver con la de los humanos., muchos no llegan a edad avanzada con el talento que los caracterizó. Así es la vida.
Yes today has 0% members from their beginnings, actually. Steve Howe joined in at their 3rd album. Their very first line-up have been Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, Tony Kaye and Peter Banks (latter one who was replaced by Steve).
A band is something that grows naturally. You can't copy something like that, you can't do it with the Beatles, you can't do it with Queen and you can't do it with YES. If Keith Richard and other musicians tried to imitate the Stones, he too would fail. A rhythm section can be replaced like an engine in a car, the soul of a music group cannot be replaced.
Keith Richards can only play certain parts with the backing band playing the rest.They have all kinds of people playing behind the curtains and below the stage.
@@nickolaskentala9583 Keith Richards' phrasing is so unique that no one can copy it. There are individual skills like Mick Jagger's voice that you can't copy. Do a test with AL and try to have Mick Jagger sing "Love Me Do" by the Beatles - it won't work! Artificial intelligence also has natural limits, just like all of us. I'm 74 years old and to this day I play all of my music live and with the first take. I never repeat myself and no one can copy me.
I agree with all the rest of the comments. This is definitely NOT Yes ! Like others have said, this band should be touring as “ Steve Howe and Friends “ rather than Yes as they just don’t cut it. Most songs are played too slow and Davison’s vocals don’t hold a candle to Jon Anderson. Geoff Downes’ keyboards are plain amateurish. Sorry.
@@nickolaskentala9583 73 and I’ve followed Yes since their first album. Just expressing my opinion but not his incarnation of the band just doesn’t hold a candle to the originators.
I forget exactly what year since I'm just slightly younger than these fella's but, I think it was about 1982 when I saw then at the L.A. Forum and I think it was the first time there was what they called a floating stage and it spun around in circles so everyone got to see the front of the stage.
Technically, none of them are original members, Steve Howe is the second guitar player. There have been many variations and lineups through the decades, and at one point, there were 2 different versions going at the same time. Steve Howe is the definitive guitar player, though, and you could make the argument that "Owner of a Lonely Heart" wasn't Yes, either. Or anything with Alan White wasn't Yes. I listened to some of the new album, and it sounds like a Yes record to me,
Pretty decent live performance. Steve looks like death but plays alive! Saw them in Long Beach, CA circa 1978, ten feet from the stage. Steve had his "guitar tree" back then too!
It was the Golden Age of some of the best rock ever played, and in my opinion, will EVER be played. 60's-70's
I'd say it's important to remember to enjoy your musicians whilst you still can, no matter which lineup you'd prefered since they are unfortunately not going to be able to stay with us for too much longer as age and illness or even death will eventually catch up with them.
I understand Steve H's desire to keep going, but this a 'Yes tribute band'. It's nice that Yes's music has enough people appreciating it that this band can keep it going. But despite how great Steve is, I don't think I would have been listening to Yes music for 50+ years if this was the line-up in 1972. I could only watch a couple of minutes of this.
That’s becuase you aren’t a Yes fan. Go back to your Taylor swift streams where you belong
My sentiments entirely .... Its a little sad really, but Steve Howe is still as great as he ever was..... it's just the rest of the "tribute" band that seem a bit .... wanting !!
A tribute band doesn't have original members in it.
I'd much rather see the Band Geeks with Jon Anderson
Amen
Enjoy the man who is a tyrant
Agreed 100%! I’ve seen Jon Anderson three times. The first two times were when he formed ARW with Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman, and then again last year with The Band Geeks.

Yes, it was the first band I saw live at the Ottawa Civic Center on November 1st, 1972. My favorite song from Yes is Roundabout.
Me too.
Let's face it , you can't replace the singer of some bands. This is one of them.
...or the bassist...or the drummer...or the keyboardist. For some -- too many, actually -- nostalgia is preferred to reality.
It is nt, … but‘s ok!
Agreed. Jon Anderson cannot be replaced.
The authentic YES died with Chris Squire.
Best comment ever!
Nobody can replace the originals! Especially Anderson and Squire. I've seen them at least 10 times and there are no replacements period. Although Anderson and the Geek Band sound GREAT! Going to see them 5/30/2024 State theater New Brunswick NJ. Can't Wait!!!
I was there in New Brunswick. Great show
Like everybody says you can't replace Chris squire what's the act by himself wakeman was also a master Anderson and of course Ellen White I seen them so many times this band just don't cut it but at least Steve Howe is trying to keep it going from looks it looks like he won't be around too much longer I hope I'm wrong glad I was there for the original lineup Golden memories God bless
Howe , un genio viviente.
The performance at their inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was epic
Jon & Band Geeks got the true YES vibe nowadays.
Nice cover of a Yes classic.
Steve is from another galaxy... gosh, he is such an extraordinary guitar player!!! I am from Argentina and I am really sad they weren't able to come. I wouldn't have missed this show!!!!

@@jobstludwig6197 You are not a guitar player are you?
Happy to see he's still kicking ass at 77 years old
I've listen Yes since 1974 and I have to say, this is a Yes cover band. Nothing more to say
Agreed but I also saw Yes Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman other unknowns and Rabin and I felt the same way it wasn’t Yes mainly no Steve Howe
Yes, it's lame.....
This exactly why I post the videos on my channel. So people don't waste thier money on cover bands.
I agree!!!
Missing Chris Squire (RIP), Alan White, Wakeman, Jon Anderson.
Alan White (RIP)

I saw Yes in the 80's - there's nothing like watching this to make one feel really, really old - but I'm good with that....
Say what you will. I saw them in 2024,they played Yours is no Disgrace and it took me to Planet 70's for 10 minutes. Excellent Musicians, every one of them.

It’s not YES.
This isn't YES. Just Steve Howe and Friends.
The song Roundabout is Yes. Not group, only Steve.
So who is Yes ?
It's more Asia (Geoff Downes with Steve Howe) than Yes Who plays Yes.
Steve is Yes!🖖
Absolutely. Jon and his friends are the real YES. Obviously. Love Steve, but…
They should just be called Steve howe and friends play yes
That’s pretty old. Plus you’re extremely wrong.

Sounds great! Does not matters what you´ll rather call it!
Is this Yes ? no yes no yes ~~~~~~
great stuff seen em live just awesome to be there😎🤘
So glad I saw yes three times in the seventies. Great memories
I saw YES 3 x too in the 70 s,also Rick Wakemen solo ,loved all of it

Only for steve howe can you go to a concert
I miss Wakeman and Anderson specially . They made the true sound of Yes. And Squire of course!!!
It's all just show Business. The show must go on. I stopped taking it seriously a long time ago
I saw this live in the 70s. He sounds just like Jon. Bravo

I don't care whether this is Yes or whatever. All that matters is that Steve Howe is there to delight us. He is a fabulous guitar player!!! Enjoy him!!!!(and the rest of the band as well; of course I miss Alan, Rick, Jon and, above all, Chris... but, whatever name, whatever members, they still are great. Just my thoughts, huh??).
Went to see Three Dog Night, Guess what fellows, We don’t live forever. Glad I got to see Gordon Lightfoot before he passed. He was 75. You won’t see 100% band members.
Es correcto... La inmortalidad de la música nada tiene que ver con la de los humanos., muchos no llegan a edad avanzada con el talento que los caracterizó. Así es la vida.
speaking of old bands, I saw Vanilla Fudge a few years ago and it was the original lineup.
@@rupe53 loved their song, you keep me hanging on…From there, don’t know a lot about them. Yes sir, they are an old band.
Yes today has 0% members from their beginnings, actually. Steve Howe joined in at their 3rd album.
Their very first line-up have been Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, Tony Kaye and Peter Banks (latter one who was replaced by Steve).
@@FrankLang-i3n Thanks for the research….
素晴らしい
Steve's still got it!
A band is something that grows naturally. You can't copy something like that, you can't do it with the Beatles, you can't do it with Queen and you can't do it with YES. If Keith Richard and other musicians tried to imitate the Stones, he too would fail. A rhythm section can be replaced like an engine in a car, the soul of a music group cannot be replaced.
The Stones don't play live they have a backing band .
Keith Richards can only play certain parts with the backing band playing the rest.They have all kinds of people playing behind the curtains and below the stage.
@@nickolaskentala9583 Keith Richards' phrasing is so unique that no one can copy it. There are individual skills like Mick Jagger's voice that you can't copy. Do a test with AL and try to have Mick Jagger sing "Love Me Do" by the Beatles - it won't work! Artificial intelligence also has natural limits, just like all of us. I'm 74 years old and to this day I play all of my music live and with the first take. I never repeat myself and no one can copy me.
Suenan grandiosos
Si les gusta YES vean "UNION TOUR" de 1991. Perfección...Con todos los integrantes que pasaron y tocaron en YES.
Steve is exceptionally admirable
Simplesmente divino!!!
Howe in good shape!
Surprising vital ✌️
I agree with all the rest of the comments. This is definitely NOT Yes ! Like others have said, this band should be touring as “ Steve Howe and Friends “ rather than Yes as they just don’t cut it. Most songs are played too slow and Davison’s vocals don’t hold a candle to Jon Anderson. Geoff Downes’ keyboards are plain amateurish. Sorry.
Your a fool
How old are you 7 ?
@@nickolaskentala9583 73 and I’ve followed Yes since their first album. Just expressing my opinion but not his incarnation of the band just doesn’t hold a candle to the originators.

Since it's not your group, your opinion means nothing.
I forget exactly what year since I'm just slightly younger than these fella's but, I think it was about 1982 when I saw then at the L.A. Forum and I think it was the first time there was what they called a floating stage and it spun around in circles so everyone got to see the front of the stage.
Lord of rings Steve rules his talent appears volumes smokes great
Here in the US, Yes will be opening for Deep Purple this Summer. They will play for an hour, maybe.
WOW
je vais les voir a la salle pleyel dans quelques jours ....
Reminds me of epic show at JFK 76 ..somewhat
Steve Howe grande chitarrista !!!
Who's playing the "backward piano" as Howe plays the acoustic opening? Downes is just standing there.
That's just a sample, probably faded in by the engineer
Downes kicks it on with moog pedals. Watch his feet
Nice Tribute Band. Excellent cover.
Hardly a "tribute" band, Slick.
@@maxsdad538 Hey, "Slick" I see you up vote your own comments. How lame! LOL!!
Hoves part for that,… Bass makes good rememberance Squire, for me Hove had been an Master since I know him, … Grandmasters at work. Yes
The best Yes cover band ever
The problem is, that it's not!
Not the best !
I'll agree that they're basically a Yes cover band at this point. I won't agree that they're the best one.
No energy, terrible sound, bad stage and lighting, and overall it’s a karaoke clam bake.
Technically, none of them are original members, Steve Howe is the second guitar player.
There have been many variations and lineups through the decades, and at one point, there were 2 different versions going at the same time.
Steve Howe is the definitive guitar player, though, and you could make the argument that "Owner of a Lonely Heart" wasn't Yes, either.
Or anything with Alan White wasn't Yes.
I listened to some of the new album, and it sounds like a Yes record to me,
Say what you will...but the people in the audience looked like they were lovin it..
Check out Jon Anderson touring with the band geeks!
Nice tribute band. This song doesn't sound the same without Rick Wakeman
Pretty decent live performance. Steve looks like death but plays alive! Saw them in Long Beach, CA circa 1978, ten feet from the stage. Steve had his "guitar tree" back then too!
