Remarkable Voice at nearly 82. THE Voice of Yes.
Jon and the Band Geeks were firing on all cylinders in Anaheim last night. Incredible show. Got to hear them play songs from: The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans, Relayer, Going for the One, True and the upcoming Band Geeks album. Jane was front and center, rocking out as she always does…love the interplay between Jon and Jane…the few times Jon would forget a few words or his timing was off…he would mouth to her something playful. They have each others backs and are a true love story. That Jane is such a Yes fan is really cool.
Drumming was very muscular and an integral part of the rhythm section with Richie. Guitar playing was Steve Howe circa 2004. Both masters of their crafts. Keyboards were very good, but not quite Rick Wakeman. Very good, but a little weaker compared to guitar and drumming. Richie on bass does his best to be a great showman as the Master Chris Squire would.
All in all, the greatest iteration of Yes since they last played in 2004.
Jon Anderson is AMAZING.
