Jon and this whole tour is a musical miracle.I am thankful beyond description. Thanks Band Geeks!
The resurrection of Yes! Incredible version of perhaps the best of all Yes songs. Jon Anderson’s voice still angelic and the Geeks’ musicianship complement it perfectly! Thanks so much for sharing this.
You'd rather see the version of these song of Jon Anderson with Todmobile with a choir in Iceland 🤩😍
I still miss Allen and Chris...
but with Jon and the fantastic Band Geeks the spirit of YES is back.
Chris Clark!!!!!!!! Beautiful.
I never thought I'd live to see the day with Jon singing 'Awaken' again! Absolutely superb rendition of an eternal classic!
Damn! These guys sound way more like Yes than Yes does these days, just incredible! Rich and crew must be having the time of their lives. So happy for them!
I've been watching a lot of these videos from the shows (which I saw in NYC) and I'm totally blown away by these musicians and so grateful for Jon! Would love to go to another show if the magic unicorn can whisk me off. I'm ready! 🦄
They truly were FABULOUS! A Testament to Jon's Ear & Talent for his 🎶 🎵 Music❤🎉 And the crowd goes Wild......"Awaken"....
I'm speechless, sitting hear with tears in my eyes. Jon lives for his music, YES music. He looks ecstatic to have found the Band Geeks. Guys that playing was amazing. I saw Jon sing this song with Yes 45 years ago in Seattle on 9/18/77. They were phenomenal and it was electric. One of my favorite all-time Yes albums. In 1977 I also saw Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull (I think?). That was a great year!
It's great to see proper Yes back and on tour. Please come and tour in Europe.
I’ve watched so many of these videos and still I can’t get over how amazing this all is. ❤❤❤ Please come to California.
Band Geeks fantastic. . . . and incredible in their ability to go with Jon no matter what he does. Bravi!
Jon left out a verse at the end...oh well...he's 78....give him a break ❤
@@josephcmorgan1117 he lauged about it with them after
Magic! Guys, please come to the west coast! Don’t seny us! This is a new Yes!
That was phenomenal 👏
They are getting better every show 😊🎉❤
Just incredible. Jon has put together a very talented band for this special tour. What a thrill to hear this Yes music once again.
Love the geeks but every time I hear this composition I wonder and am amazed how do you conceive, write and then execute such music? Absolute brilliance, where does this music come from?
Awesome. Fabulous.
Sensational. 🎶❤️🎶
I have no words to describe about how I feel about this song, played so masterfully by these musicians❤
MASTERPIECE FOREVER AND EVER!
Just Superb!!!:)....Thank you Gentlemen for some beautiful music:)
(..and even though Jon fudged the last section, the Geeks picked it up and fixed it seamlessly. Total professionals, and all smiles..)
Yeah, Andy had to quickly come down from his riser to get to the big drum for the timpani part. Consummate professionals.
It seems as though he was commenting on that to the bass player during the applause. Well done.
Indeed, heavenly inspired! Much blessed, these men.Thank you for sharing.
Alan is resurrected beginning at 14:00. Fantastico! At 13:00 you will see Jon look and point to an emotional fan in the balcony. Yup me!
Truly fantastic, if you close your eyes and just listen you think this is YES!
Andy a genius!! Excelent!! Band Geeks and the eternal Jon Anderson!!
Thanks for uploading.
Old Yes, new energy.
And this particular song, one of my all time favourites...the chord changes and the crescendos, the guitar and keys work. We regard classical composers from the past as being peerless and unbettered, in the future we will look back at classic Yes and say the same thing.
Way too go my friend doin the deed .hope u did entire audio .I missed second night can't go to them.all !
TH2 always does. I have so many of his ARW shows as well. Phenomenal every time
fantastic... and who knew Boris Johnson could play drums so well!!
Ha, I thought I was the only one thinking this! He plays amazing keys as well, go Boris!
Jesus how the heck does he still have the voice at nearly 80. Incredible.....
That guy Richie Castellano is a phenomenal musician that also plays guitar great as well as keyboards. He is a member of Blue Oyster Cult and delivers the goods for that band too.
My favorite Yes song.
Love this. Reiki song. Awaken.
Splended!
7:10 I love this part.
THANK YOU : )
Jon SKIPPED the final "High Vibration go on" section! Good thing the rest of the band caught on and adapted.
As one does!
Absolutely
bellissimo
Amazing pro shot vid man...outstanding. This goes in as one of the top 3 Yes shows I've been to. Do you have additional tracks from this show that you're going to upload?
This is it. I've been limiting myself to 2 or 3 songs each night (if any). Want to mostly relish the experience.
@@TapeheadToo Right on. Heard that!
Some user 4Relayer has a tremendous FS into Yours is no disgrace from Sat.
🥰
Wished I could have seen this concert. Going to see the other version of Yes in June. Should be interesting. Well done Jon, Richie and all the others. Keep at it.
I must say I don't envy you for seeing Steve's Yes😅😅
@@cindydahl9635 not to worry, tour has been rescheduled for next year. Something about insurance not covering covid or war? I've asked for a refund
They put the Steve Howe cover band to shame!!!!!
Technically speaking, the Band Geeks is precisely a cover band. That's what they trained to do. Jon's genius was adding another incredible keyboardist so the band had two of them. Yes' lineup evolved over 12 years of time as Yes lineups always have.
Tribute bands are getting better. Having an original member is a great bonus. 10 years time our heroes will be ghosts. Get used to it 😢
Dude, you have the best video so far. Did you record the whole show?
No, just three songs.
It lacks the joy of the version Jon did with Todmobile.
They have to improve it. Bass keyboards and guitar. Jon is great
Improve it? Show us a single performance of this song by Yes that sounded better than this band's rendition. We're going to be waiting a while.
Pretty good although the keyboards seem rather weak
Chris Clarke is amazing on keys.
@@adriannorris1486 They need him up a little more
Mmm. Guitar was not so great...he hss to improbe it
You could spell better and find a guitarist to cover Steve Howe is not easy!
Spelling is way easier than the guitars in this song, yet you still managed to mess that up too. Good job! 🏅
Would love to know what Jon said to Richie at the end. I don't think Jon still doesn't realize how GREAT these songs are being played. Makes me cry.
