A tough song to cover. One of my favorites of all time. That lead singer girl's voice is so smooth and so right. Wow. The whole band is spot on. The keyboard kid nailed it!
Tough song to cover… hats off to these youngins! Kudos to the bass player… guy’s rocking!!! Guitar (black LP) nailing the licks. Vocalist Drummer and keyboard did an excellent job! Thank you! ✌🏼👌👍🏼🥰
The lead vocalist really has talent. I'd love to hear them cover this in the studio where the mix is easier to control. I'm sure it would sound much better, but it's still good. Yes's songs are tough to do.
Excellent job! You guys nailed it. It is so good for an older guy like myself who grew up listening to progressive rock hear our next generation of rockers keep this music alive. Long Live Rock!
This is not a song to be taken lightly. Anyone who attempts it is a star in my book. This song hit me so hard in 1973 when I accidentally heard it, that it turned me into a life-long musician/guitar repairman- now 48 years in business as Guitartec Repair in MA (scuse the shameless plug). Oddly, throughout my career, I've met countless others who were affected by this song the same way. Bravo for even considering it, never mind playing it and videoing it for us.
Look through my channel, I have so many amazing young musicians doing songs that you would never expect. The School of Rock is producing so many guitarists that they will keep you quite busy until you retire.
PHENOMENAL! My favorite band of over 50 years. These kids showed tremendous talent. Rhythm section was on point. Vocals were excellent. Singing Jon Anderson is not an easy task. She did great. Keys were also fantastic. Wakeman would be proud. Guitar work was incredible. Steve Howe being one of the best guitarists in the world. This band took a very difficult song and made it their own. Video and sound were exceptional! Great venue. This is a video that can be watched over and over and you will see and hear something new every time! Great job by this SoR band! Turn it up, close your eyes, and take the musical journey that is YES!!!
Phenomenal! Splendid! FIRE. Keyboardist and lead guitar especially killed it. Loved how the backup singers were dancing around and vibing, too! Great editing of shots as well! Tough song to cover, so wondrous to hear done well, which this was!
This was a superb rendition by this young group of musicians. The pretty female vocalist carried this song all the way with fury and talent. There are no easy songs produced by YES. All great musical works of art. I was first introduced to Yes while at prep school in the 70's The level of talent emanating from the School of Rock is boundless. The other dark haired pretty female singer, does a great job nailing the vocals on Avenging Annie. Keep up the great work on old tunes that stand the test of time. You can tell the young musicians appreciate the depth of these old quality tunes. Rock On
Impressive indeed, however I don't think I've ever seen a pair of drumsticks quite that big around before, maybe that's what amateur drum sticks look like, dunno.
WOW! Wonferful performance of a song not an easy one! Great to see young talented people playing like the're pros. Good job all, being the bass player and the lead vocals outstanding!
Great job Guys! The Rickenbacker bass and everyrthing! The vocale are fire everyone nailed their Parts! Amazing! Funnily enough, I have the same Rolling Stones T-shirt
I have to mix a stereo feed from the soundboard with a pair of mics because the guitar and bass ants are so freaking loud on stage, that none of them wind up in the board mix. If guitar and bass players want to be heard, they should turn down their amplifiers.
I like the fact the singer kept the song within herself, talent/ range. Make the song your own is more than a mantra. Unless you're a tribute band, nothing says that you can't be true to yourself. It just sounds so much authentic when you are not trying to imitate every nuance of the original.
@@manthony1956 Never have i seen a school of rock band use cheat sheets and i have watched hundreds of these videos and have bought dozens of the dvds. She should of learned the words and the song. No excuse!
Brilliant effort, difficult song to master. Special mention to the vocals and bass, extra marks for that Ricky bass tone. The vocalist did a great job, not trying to imitate, but bringing her own flair and voice to the fore. All round(about 😁) great stuff, good to know this music is appreciated by young people today.
My Lord this is a very difficult song , Jon Anderson voice is so unique and to do a Rick Wakeman well ... , man thats hard . BUT you guys are great to keep this music alive - Thank you !! . You are the future of real music and you are good . ( to whom it may concern - I love the singer :- )
Jon Anderson is a huge fan of the School of Rock program, and has performed with the kids several times. Here's one of my favorites: ruclips.net/video/iqRXbO5gQEg/видео.html
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Thank you so much - it is sooo good and you made me happy !!! here is a link that i wanted to ask you if the girl lead singer appear in other videos - she is a great unique special with her own foot print on preforming a song singer , different like An Angelina Jordan ruclips.net/video/GlG-vN8i9Qc/видео.html
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Thank you for responding , if you happen to see her on any video , if you dont mind please let me know , again thank you very much indeed !!
Wow that was really good. I'm glad there are some young people out there who can appreciate their music. I've seen them a dozen times starting in the mid 70's. My favorite band.
Ill just say Wowza!!! This is quite an advanced song. Nobody covers it cause you need a whole band of virtuosos and not just a couple of em. From the keyboards to the Bass, Drums, a couple,3 guitars, And of course the vocals n back up. Alot of people kno this song and cant play it with thier band. GREAT JOB GUYS! and if everybody hast already said so... that singer is the coolest lookin chick around. Keep it up peeps
The baselines alone are on a different level Chris squire was an incredible bass player. The whole song very difficult to play but they pulled it off and quite well
@@jeffschielka7845 She is now in New York City, where she performs professionally, and she has learned the words. She has a few covers on youtube. Has also released an EP called What is Honest. When told about this video she said she was surprised that it was still available. She grew up to be very talented singer, and quite the beauty. When next I am in NYC I will have to look up one of her shows.
Great job with a difficult and complex song...These young people are just a bit older than I was, when I discovered YES in the 70's...If they spend the rest of their lives, devouring the MANY contributions by the band and their offshoots, they'll have spent a productive life...:)... Gotta give props to the keyboard and bassist...That Wakeman solo on the outro is a beast!
While there things that could be picked on, we need to remember how difficult this song is. And lastly, these kids are students, so Bravo! Well done mates!!!
The Bass Player Has Nailed This ; )
I literally was just think the same thing!
lol !! Not quite.
This chick kills it. Great gig in the sky... One of the best vocal covers I've ever heard.
The gauntlet is tossed.. Beatles it is!
lol
Big ups to these youngsters for even attempting a tune so complex and demanding. And they did an admirable job!
Absolutely dig this performance! You can hear the bass like a buzzsaw, the way it SHOULD be heard. The young lady nailed the vocals! Great sound!
You picked one of the toughest bands to cover, did a great job. Highlights everyone's skills, great vocalist.
Exactly!
Wow, this has just brought a tear of joy to this 63 year old. I'm pleased that the younger generations are finding & appreciating music from the 70s.
Fabulous job! The singer didn't just imitate. Her personality and a beautiful voice come right through.
G'wan lass , fantastic voice, what a change to hear someone young belting out classics, great voice and musicians 👌
The spirit of Chris Squire lives in that kid bassist!
Plays the same guitar too. Saw him play this many times. Great cover.
A tough song to cover. One of my favorites of all time. That lead singer girl's voice is so smooth and so right. Wow. The whole band is spot on. The keyboard kid nailed it!

Man is it good to see young kids cover Yes.
I have regained my confidence in America's youth
Talullah nails it on the vocals! This girl is absolutely amazing! Anyone agree?
👇👇👇👇
Totally agree!
No. But maybe...if she could sing on key!
@@davidberg4682 Aaand who are you to judge such a performance? Show me a better cover version, good luck.
Not at all.
@@st7728 And who are you to judge his opinion? I agree with him. She was totally off key!

Watch Steve Howe jam with Les Paul.

don't omit the bassist. he also did an outstanding job
@@pkoven Trudat
I'm in love with her voice. Hell, I'm in love with her
Great job ! Smiles all around from a guy who saw Yes live in the ‘70
damn, you're old lol. I'm sure I was listening to them in '72/ '73 so yeah, I'll be old next year ;)
Impressive. Vocals were on point. Nice job by all.
What a deep song...these kids kill it...greatly done...wow
Love the vocals on this. She makes it her own song. Band very good also
I just love seeing young people get a cited about the music I was excited about at their age.

Highwood,Il. You are just down the road from me. Great local talent
Great vocals
Old vid, sure, but I just found it. Great job there, people. I hope all of you are doing well at what you wanted in your lives.
Amazing! That is a tough song to play and they nailed it. Girls voice is incredible.
following in the footsteps of greatness
WOW! Wonferful performance of a song not an easy one! Great to see young talented people playing like the're pros. Good job all, being the bass player and the lead vocals outstanding!

Wonderful! Every single one of them is terrific! Strong , good lead singer, great voice and range . These kids are bound for greatness.
Amazing job tackling this tough song…
Que bom vê os jovens tocando grandes músicas dos anos 70, infelizmente as grandes bandas acabaram.
Great cover and I have seen "YES & Jon Anderson many times in the Round,this bassist absolutely kill's it Chris Squire would be proud!!!
Awesome!....digging the old school "cinder block" in front of kick drum
Wow, a super hard task to capture this song. Well done, overall, I would say. Passion and skill were shown. Yay, youngsters!
I have to mix a stereo feed from the soundboard with a pair of mics because the guitar and bass ants are so freaking loud on stage, that none of them wind up in the board mix. If guitar and bass players want to be heard, they should turn down their amplifiers.
Excellent performance of a difficult song.
Outstanding!!! Great Job by the whole group...
Fantastic! Loved it guys. Thank you so much for the work you have put into this.
Good to see the kids are still rocking it - back to memories of the early 70s
To see these young people play yes..its refreshing..good work
I came for the bass. Was not dissapointed. Great job!
The band would be so proud! Great job!
Impressed by the keyboardist. He nailed it all through the song.
AWESOME. YOU GUYS HAVE ROCKED THIS SONG. You are all blessed and have totally put a smile on my face ROCK ON KIDS
Great voice it all sounds great
What's really nice is to see young kids enjoying playing this classic, with no auto tune just good fun and proper live rock.👍 keep going never give up
Brilliant on all levels. Lead singer has a great voice. Instrumentalists rock the joint!

I've seen many YES cover bands. None have a singer that can duplicate Jon Anderson. Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!
She had cheat sheets on the floor. She should of learned the song!
@@jeffschielka7845 Knowing how these bands are "assembled" for their performances, the "cheat sheets" should not surprise you.

Wow what a great vocalist!
This is really awesome!
Great stuff, playing Yes will make you sweat.
Some really great musicians on stage . Well done guys !
For a small school, they did a fantastic job on a very difficult song!!
Tue girl has a nice voice, and I love her eyes!
The lead singer has a nice voice that comes close to the original.
She has smoky eyes !!
Amazing job! So cool to see kids today appreciating music we knew would be timeless those many years ago.
Love the bass line, Chris would have smiled all the way
The Rickenbacker bass has it's own distinct sound, this kid was making it work.
The bassist wasn't just playing it, he was feeling it. Outstanding young man.
There is just something about those Illinois kids. They crush it every time.
All these kids did a great job

The lead vocalists has her own channel and deserves to be followed. Her name is Tallulah Ruff.
Very good!! Great job by all on stage. 😃
Great go at that peeps Difficult song. Well Done from the UK
That's it!! I can't believe they're playing YES.
The bass player is sick!
I hope he gets better.... ; )...:)...
Good job on a really difficult song. Harder than it sounds, for sure. Yes's music is not for beginners.
Yes
"Harder than it sounds"? There is so much going on in this song that no one would ever doubt that it is hard to play.
@@jimrauh3584 agreed. And i've been playing (goofing around) for a while.
The baselines alone are on a different level Chris squire was an incredible bass player. The whole song very difficult to play but they pulled it off and quite well
Really god cover guys, the singer is awesome...
Awesome very talented young folks very advanced accomplished musicians singing awesome nice
Vocalista canta muito, além de ser gatíssima! Abraços do Brasil, amamos o Yes!!!
Excellent musicianship from everyone Tallulah is a very talented vocalist
I wish she had learned the words. She had notes on the floor.

These musicians kill it. SOR fosters musical talent. Yes is technically challenging. Roundabout brings back great memories.
While there things that could be picked on, we need to remember how difficult this song is. And lastly, these kids are students, so Bravo! Well done mates!!!
Amazing!!!!
I’m impressed! Yes of all bands to cover. Wish the audio was better but the guitar player was very good. Steve Howe would be proud.✌️
Good job. Enjoyed this.
great cover good job everyone
Bass player... i hear ya with them low tones. Killin it !
the singer is unbeliveable and beautiful
this was when she was heading in the right direction ` she seems lost now she needs a good band
excellent job tough song to cover
What is the chick doing now? She has an extremely great voice, she really made this performance perfect for me.
there is still hope
Kids got that bass tone on lock with the ol' tried and true Ric. 🤘🤘
Woo! Great job! Thank you,
Awesome job by those teenagers. Roundabout is a tough song to perform.
Great job kids !!!there's hope for our youth and rock music
