49 years ago I went to see Yes in concert with the relayer tour and last year I saw Jon and the Geeks play this song , my hair stood up on my neck then and still did last year , I will tell you Jon Anderson hasn't lost much at all of his voice and to have a talented bunch of musicians playing beside him is golden ❤
Wow. So much love for the music seeping through. Talented session musicians might be able to recreate this but not embody it fully as the Band Geeks do here.
I saw Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks the week before this, April 21st, in NYC at the Palladium. I was elated. It was one mega-classic after another. Relayer album is my personal favorite. Your video sounds great. Thanks for sharing! 🎶💚💚🎶
I've followed "Band Geek" on YT for almost 10 years so I knew they'd be up to this. They were and then some :) What I'd didn't expect was how good Jon's voice still is. The energy of this live performance reminds me very much of when I saw Jon perform this with Yes in 1975 on the Relayer tour in the UK. Thanks very much for sharing this with us. :)
I also saw the Relayer tour in the US (Jersey City) and Jon singing with the Band Geeks captured that same Yes energy from the 70s. I saw Yes on 3 or 4? different tours in the 70s and early 80s. Amazing! Later in the 90s - 2K had less energy in their playing, not as inspired. Now, If Jon tours in your area with the Band Geeks... GO!
What I love about this incarnation of sort-of Yes is the respect for the music that all of these musicians have. Jon to all the members of the Band Geeks, it's about the music.
I caught this tour in CT and was in tears for more than a few songs. That was early enough in the tour that they were not ready to release this Relayer revelation. I would have LOVED to experience this live but thank you for posting. I remember zipping the cellophane of the Relayer vinyl . . .
I also saw them in 2023 NYC Palladium, and I couldn't stop crying and smiling at the same time. Zapped me right back to an earlier time yet also sounded relevant to today... maybe much more so! 🎶💚💚💚🎶
The only difference between this band and Yes back then is that these guys didn't write what they are playing. These guys don't improvise much, but I'm sure they could! World class musicians. And Jon is just, well, Jon 🙏🙂
@@garytrucks actually, you don't know what these guys do when they are not doing this, and their other covers. if they are like me, they do lots of things in lots of ways. My solo version of this. ruclips.net/video/HxC7o7tycF4/видео.html
Thanks for shooting this! I saw "Yes" 4 years ago and walked out at half time. Honestly they sounded like a tribute band and were NOT tight at all. This is the first that I've heard of this band and they are indeed tight; this is a very complicated tune as most Yes tunes are .... but wow! Hope they come to Atlanta some time in the future.
Thanks for the compliment. I recorded it on a Pixel 6 pro phone, then I loaded it into my video editing system and re-EQ'd the mix. I've always been verry picky about good sound mixes for all of my music.
Good to see that AI hasn't taken over everything yet. I suppose, though, if The Band Geeks ever want to go out on the road and tour the Yes catalog and Jon isn't available, they could use a Jon Anderson AI filter with someone else singing.

Parabens aos musicos e também ao angelical voices Jon Anderson

Wonderful. Amazing outcome. Should start world tour.
My favourite YesSong. Great cover by JA and the Band Geeks.
This band is as much YES as the other YES given it has just one member of YES. Either Jon or Steve.
YES! And from what I've heard, The band Geeks are playing better/tighter than Steve's guys. Not to mention Jon's AMAZING voice! 🗣 ... YES+ 👍
They put the Steve Howe cover band to shame
@@scottschuler8787 Agreed my friend.
Thank you for this. Going to see Jon in June in Englewood
Wow. So much love for the music seeping through. Talented session musicians might be able to recreate this but not embody it fully as the Band Geeks do here.
That was exactly what I felt at this show.
😅😅😊
Um Längen besser als die schreckliche Coverband, 😢😢 die sich leider auch noch YES nennen darf .

Are you fuckin kidding me!!!! OMG!!!😮😮😮
'Soon' transcends mortal music.
Wow. Kudos to the guitarist. One of my favourite Yes songs and Jon can still hit the high notes
Brilliant, awesome musicians, the next best thing after Yes. Then it's always Yes when Jon Anderson's in it. Absolutely sublime ending with Soon.
Totally agree. I haven't seen the Yes tribute band once since Jon left. Jon is Yes.
Such a talented bunch of artists ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love this band
Incrível , Jon Anderson está com 77 anos, como é possível estar cantando tão lúcido como se fosse um jovem de 27 anos??
Great version but Holy crap! Jon"s voice sounds incredible...
Really wish the guitarist played a pedal steel during Soon. but still freaking amazing. Jon's voice. OMG!. Praying this tour adds west coast dates!
The reason they didn't use the steel pedal was Richie said it sounded like crap. Andy used a different guitar to recreate the Soon sound.

Jon is great as same as 1975!
Just hope to use telecaster for this song!
Thanks!
Jon Anderson my friends! And Band Geeks just nailed it. Wow, really don't know what to say,.
Awesome...thank you
WooHoo! This is awesome! GO JON!
Astonishing. Close your eyes and you'd swear you were at the Relayer tour. 👏👏👏

Jon is ❤🎉 Yes ! 😊😮 He was the Director 😊
@scottschuler8787, What did you record this on? The best sound of anyone who's posted these shows.
Thanks for the compliment. I recorded it on a Pixel 6 pro phone, then I loaded it into my video editing system and re-EQ'd the mix. I've always been verry picky about good sound mixes for all of my music.
Um, THANK YOU !!!!!!

Amazing!!!!!!
Patrick Moraz from the Moody Blues.. can you hear it?
SO INTENSE!
