Here’s to another 10 years!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Just wanted to TY! From Queens NY, 53 yrs old, same expansive musical taste, played drums since I’m young. I have stage 4 colon cancer and finding you guys yrs back has bought joy and distraction from life that helps me. So ty! I wish you and everyone continued success. ❤

That Wilson Phillips video makes me laugh every time. Congrats!

Congratulations on 10 years!! The only positive thing that came out of COVID was our Sunday afternoons together!!

Awsome !!!!! What a --- (miss words) to do with such musicians. Was my dream since I started --- 50 years ago ....

OMG, almost spit out my tea on the Ghostbusters song! Richie as Batman arguing that who you gonna call is "Batman. You have to call Batman!" Perfection! 11:32

So, so good, just amazing performances - here's to another 10 years !!

Thanks for the Geekfest. Came for the Yes covers, and never left.

You and all of the BAND GEEK members have made an indelible musical memories that I smile and enjoy everytime I replay them. Thank You to you and all of the other talented musicians for always bringing it and rocking for 10 years!

I too came for the Yes music, and never left. Love the music, amazed at the skill levels, and feel like I can share the excitement of hearing music we all enjoy, being performed live. I was there in 23, gonna be there in 24, and Richie and all the musicians are great. Richie, you are an over achiever, and thank you for that. Stage design, the computer running the graphics, and yes, complimenting one of the true voices of this century that brings joy, love, and peace back to all who take the time to hear him. Keep it going Richie and all the band geeks. You are elite, but so down to earth. I'll see you soon in row 9. Be well!

FABULOUS, BAND GEEK. IM WAITING FOR MY BAND GEEK HAT. I HAVE TO SAY,,, ANN MARIE IS AWESOME. SHE IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL SINGER. COULD YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT HER. WHAT BAND IS SHE IN? AND CANT WAIT FOR 10 MORE YEARS.

Monsters in a Small Studio! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Huge WOW!!!! ❤❤️❤️ Just found out about this awesome band! Love your wide-ranging catalog & incredible talent! Sharing with my family & friends. Keep up the fabulous work! Our world needs you! Rock on! 🌎🎶♥️

Absolutely love Band Geek

I love the Band Geeks and have for years. Keep going Richie.

Happy 10th anniversary of "Band Geek" ...with best wishes from Germany 🤩🤩🤩🤘🤘🤘🎈🎉🎊🥳🥳🥳

Congrats to you and all the Band Geeks - I've been enjoying your awesome work for years! Please bring the tour to Canada!

Love the snippets of all the different songs - you guys are SO good.

Thank you for 10 years of amazing entertainment.

You rock Richie! So happy for you and the band getting to tour with “the” Jon Anderson performing all the Yes classics! Keep up the good work 👏

omg, the last 10 years of my life just flashed before my eyes ! Wow, so excited to hear the news... greatest cover band in history.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!! Lots of amazing content! You guys rock!

Bravo! You all have provided me years of enjoyment with the covers! I can’t wait to see you with BOC in Ohio in late October! Again - congrats on the anniversary!

10 YEARS of Band Geek, CONGRATULATIONS Richie, you sure have evolved . Can't wait to see AND hear what the next DECADE has in store for all of your LOYAL FANS. Please keep doing your thing !🎉

Damn. This is greatest cover band of all time. Where else can you hear Hall and Oats, Iron Maiden, Jellyfish, Yes, Toto and Star Wars from one band.

Here is to the next 10 years of Band Geek!

I’m a musician. In HS I was in awe of the band YES. Who the hell in HS can actually play YES tunes in a band?! You guys are so fucking talented

YES INDEED

Hey Richie! Congrats on the 10 year anniversary. Tammy and I discovered you guys on KZread in early 2016 after I had saw your solo Queen song and resulted in a marathon weekend of watching every previous show/video and everything after when it was posted. As a elder musician to say I was entertained and impressed is an understatement. But I have to acknowledge the valued service you performed during the lockdown when you used this tech to bring all of us fans together as a family for your weekend shows and session videos. Tam and I still miss those shows but are so proud of you and the band geeks now working with a YES legend and becoming a part of the legends you celebrated. Thanks so much man! we love you guys! All hail hail Staten Island!

What a great flashback! Been watching for years. Haven't seen much of Jarrett lately, hope he's still around around and doing well!

For the record, I have always thought that the Chipmunk's Christmas song was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the way you showed us how it was put together! Thanks for 10 years and looking forward to many many more!!!

Congratulations Band Geek !!!!!! More ten years. Tanks Richie and all of the other talented musicians for always bringing it and rocking for 10 years!

Congratulations Richie and all who have been a part of Band Geek. I found Band Geek back in 2017 due to my obsession with ‘Rosanna’. I watched that video dozens of times and have watched every video that Band Geek and Richie have done before that and ever since.

Great idea, great musicians, great attitude!!!! Congrats on 10 years of band geeking!!!!!!

Richie - Thanks for your enthusiasm and efforts in bringing forward your love of the best music ever written. You are a treasure and an inspiration. It's been a fun 10 years!

I'm so glad all this geekiness brought us yes music played like we remember it.

You MUST visit the Pacific Northwest!

Definitely this 10 years has blown by, Richie. Congratulations to everyone for creating so many amazing discussions, laughter and wonderful music over the years! 🎉 Nothing is quite like Band Geek … still … and when Life sends a knuckleball, it helps to revisit episodes for an instant attitude adjustment, for which I’m grateful dude. Here’s to a great ‘24 touring with the legendary Jon Anderson! ❤

Congratulations Richie!! ❤

Brilliant….thanks guys….particularly linking up with Jon… just the best 🎉❤

Always dig your vids!! Hope there's more to come!!!

Great job Richie. Can’t believe how talented that you and all of your crew is. So much fun to watch that. Congrats on all of your success. 👍🏻🎸

I stumbled onto one of your covers of Yes a couple of years ago and was blown away … I saw a level of musicianship I hadn’t seen in a while … I sent the video to a band mate, good friend, and Yes devote extraordinaire, and he concurred … you guys are the real deal. Congratulations on all your success … you deserve it!

Congratulations! Well deserved.

Wow, just incredible, I've been a fan and supporter of the Band Geeks for a while now and I'm still blown away by the amazing talent, the genre's, the songs, the musicians... Special thank you to Richie for helping us get through the covid lockdown. It gave us something to look forward to each week and get through it all. ..and thank you to all the Band Geeks and contributors. It's been a blast!🤘✌️❤️

Congratulations on 10 years of Band Geek and all that's evolved from it, Ritchie. You're an amazing and hard working musician. Love you in BOC and your podcasts. Cheers to another 10 and many more!!

Love Band Geek! This 64 year-old digs the prog covers and all the great tunes. The ultimate cover band!

I'm GobSmacked. You guys love music so much. The you labor of love is paying off. I will be telling everyone I possibly can to see this montage. After seeing you in concert a few weeks ago with Jon Anderson, as far as I'm concerned it was kismet. You guys are IT ! I loved hearing the band performing songs that truly did justice to the originals I feel like Jon plays and sings in confidence because of you. If you possibly keep playing different YES songs and ones from your new album, I'll be at every show that I can. "Shine On" indeed. I truly love that song.. The most positive new song we've had this year...in a year when it's really needed. . Thanks you so mmm

You guys made my life better. Thank you!

Honored to be a small part of this amazing project!

I very much miss our Sunday concerts. This recap definitely makes me want to go watch them all.

Your accuracy across such a wide range of musical styles is just incredible! I absolutely love your covers. Keep it up!!!

These guys probably have the best mixing and tone of any cover band I've ever heard. Congrats Band Geeks.

Ritchie and all you Band Geeks - thank you so much for all the joy and love of music you’ve shared over these 10 years! You all inspire so many ! Congratulations on a momentous accomplishment! You’ve always been a “go to” on KZread and you all always will be! Rock and roll on!!! Love you guys!

You've been Rocking me out for a long time Richie ! BOC and then Band Geeks ! ... Always awesome , Thanks so much for what you do brother ! ❤🎸 Oh and " 24 or 6 to KAZOO " Most fun Band Geek tune ever !

What an amazing retrospective! I got goose bumps SO MANY TIMES!!! Here's to ten more years!!! =)

10 years and still watching..

Been with you (here) since the beginning. Cheers Mate!

Super Cool Update! Awesome content right here Reelin' In The Years

congrats Richie and all the Band Geeks. You guys have given so much pleasure to so many. You deserve every bit of good fortune that comes your way!

Wow! Incredible compilation, incredible talent!!! Thank you Richie!

WOW! Amazing stuff! I didn't realize how many episodes I have actually seen. Some great memories of watching those videos! So many talented people have passed through those studios. I have to say that Ann Marie's voice is incredible! Oh and her sister too! Thanks for putting this 10 year retrospective together Richie! Looking forward to the Jon Anderson Band Geeks tour, see you in Phoenix in August!

An amazing collection of hugely talented multi-instrumentalists AND vocalists on show here. I have watched most since about 2017. This video retrospective was marvellous to watch, reminding me of all the songs you've done. Also being a long term YES fan, it's fantastic that Jon Anderson has recognised how good you all are and now collaborating. Keep it all going! It's much appreciated.

This is epic. Now I need to go back and watch all the backlog. You all are outstanding!!!

Brilliant! Congratulations.

From where you started, to the new Jon and Band Geeks album, y’all just continue to impress with your love of music. I fucking dig it!

Been following you for around 5 years, so happy for everything that is happening to you Band Geek, you deserve all of it! Thanks for your dedication, your humour, your « down to the earth » attitude, the quality of your music, and many more ten years! ❤🤘🎶

"You should call Batman!" LoL. Happy 10 years.

I'm fan since I heard "Under Pressure" such great talent all of the band......., love you 🤘😎🤘

YES!!!! You're gonna be in Thousand Oaks!!! If you get some time, feel free to stop by the house, I'm just a few minutes down the street!!! 🤘🥳 Miss ya, brotha!!!

I have been a fan of this band for some years now; greetings to all the band from Sonora, Mexico, and congratulations on your first tenth anniversary!

Richie, I just checked my YT "history" and I probably subbed to the Band Geek channel a few months after you first broadcast. Can I say that it has remained a favourite of mine to this day, and it has pleased me immensely that you all are getting to live the dream and play and record with Jon Anderson. I look forward to adding "True" to my Yes (and Band Geek) collection. Many thanks and god bless you all. John, from Bonnie Scotland.

Congrats!! Was at the Hammondsport show, and have seen you with BOC! Thanks for the Band Geeks music, been watching for years!!

10 years already. Wow😂.😂. 😂 Love you guys and gals. Looking forward to seeing you and Jon on beautiful Keuka Lake!!

Watching this video was sheer joy. Looking forward to the album with Mr. Anderson!

I miss the basement... Such epic and fun music was made there.

Hard to believe it’s been 10 yrs … I’ve watched most of the videos and grateful to have found this channel … the live steams, the BOC tours, the content … the pandemic years … it’s all been a great ride … thanks for sharing and all others to participate 😎 … btw … where has Jarred gone to?

I know that all of this has taken a TON of work, but you guys are outstanding!!! Been listening for quite a while, keep going, keep rockin'!!!! Thank You for helping to make this world a little less whacky!!!

Thanks Richie, You guys are amazing! It's been a privilege to watch you guys on youtube. I appreciate you all for sharing your incredible talent on here for us to watch. Congrats! 🎸🔥 Love the Michael McDonald at McDonalds bit 😄

Your cover of Jet City Woman brought me in, and your fun and brilliance keep me coming back! Keep it going, you guys are awesome!

We really enjoying everyone's performance. The vocals are just awesome.

So happy I got to see you guys with Jon last year. Looking forward to seeing you again in Atlanta.

Thank you, Richie! Keep on doin` that!

Congrats Richie...you did great! Keep it going!

Absolutely love this band so talented can’t wait for the new Anderson album True ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My son got me into you guys when he stumbled on your cover of “More Than A Feeling “ (Boston) since he knew I love a good cover song and this is one of my favorites. I went down the rabbit hole and never left! Thanks for the fun videos and the excellent music!

Listening to all these songs chained, two things really stood out: 1. The sound quality and musicianship are amzing. 90% of these recordings could go on singles releases - and they are live performace all-at-once recordings! 2. Ann Marie has an increadible voice. Not only she can sing anything and everything, even when she sings backing vocals her voice fits perfectly into any song, including those that originally did not have a female voice in them. Two thumbs up 👍👍

Many thanks for the hard work 🙏 you're the best

Absolutely brilliant.

ONE DAY in California! Woo hoo!

So happy for you guys and your "dream-come-true" moment with Jon Anderson! Loved the clip with what was basically BOC covering Ride Like the Wind. Just great stuff.

You are all so amazing and talented!! Looking forward to the new music!!!

Just Love you and the entire group of musicians and singers. I wanna be like you when I grow up! Please bring your Jon Anderson tour to Florida!

Keep it going Richie! Hell why not! Good luck with the Jon Anderson gig!

So much talent - you guys and gal are some of the best musicians I’ve heard. Better than most “famous” ones…Congrats on such fabulous work!

You are so talented Dude I love when you and Buck Dharma jam on stage

Excellent video. I've been following Band Geeks for years but much of this is new to me. Saw you in Concord NH June 22 and will see you in Beverly Sept.11. Great show in Concord.

Congrats, Richie! You and the rest of the Band Geek crew are some of the most incredibly talented musicians operating as a crew today. Incredibly insightful, virtuousic performances. I've learned quite a bit along the way and have enjoyed every angle of what you and the crew do. Thank you.
