Beautiful
Another amazing performance, but not surprising, such great musicians! Jon Anderson + the Band Geeks = Yes!
Love that Jon is wearing the jacket honoring Chris. The band is tight and Jon is the voice of Yes and he is still enjoying and creating new music with a new Yes!
Heavenly, enchanting, and utterly soothing, Jon Anderson's voice is truly irreplaceable. The Band Geeks are remarkably on point. I can't wait to experience their performance in Phoenix!
Jon’s voice is still amazing. Awaken is one of my favorite Yes song.
YES!! They’ve definitely got the vibe! Well done all!! Bravo!! 🙏🏻
I have heard Jon and Yes do this many times since 1977. It really has never sounded better.
Wow! Wonderful rendition of my favorite Yes song. The band and Jon are amazing.
Simply heaven. Awaken is a masterpiece. 👍😎

Amazing how Jon can still sing so great at nearly 80!
That he can still sing at this level on the cusp of turning 80 is nothing short of a minor miracle, at least in terms of rock & roll. I cannot think of anyone from his era who's voice has remained as intact today. Just amazing.

Roger Hodgson of Supertramp is up there, too..
The band is total 🔥. And Jon is, well, phenomenal as always. A real joy to listen to.
Amazing. I've been a Jon/ Yes Fan for Ages. That was Amazing.
This is In my Top 5 list of YES Songs from All of Their Masterpieces thru the Decades ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.Out of All the Famous People in the World Jon Anderson would be the Number One Person who I Would Love To Meet and That Would Make My Life Complete !!!
Amazing. Nobody sounds like Jon. I've seen the other Jon, and Benoit both front Yes, and while they are good in their own way, there is only one Jon Anderson. Yes are my favourite band, and I've been listening to them, and going to see them live for something like fifty years, and I have to say, the Band Geeks do a fantastic job of staying true to the legacy and spirit of the music. As much as I love Steve Howe, right now, I'd rather watch these live than the current version of Yes that exists. Outstanding.

I have been going since the week Close was released. Jon sounds as great as ever. It is very helpful to the authenticity of the song to have the man that actually wrote those lyrics and feelings singing them.
So angelic of a man Anderson is YES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wakeman is right, Jon is from another planet.

At least this one has a founding member and spiritual muse
The Geeks are good, better than Steve `n friends..........
Was at this show, and i have to say, that even with Jon flubbing a couple lyrics, it was the best Yes show I've seen in 20 years, since the 2003 35th anniversary tour with classic lineup. 2008 with Benoit and Oliver Wakeman was good but no Jon Anderson. Was disappointed in the 2012 show with Downes on keys and can't stand Jon Davidson. Andy Ascolese is not Alan White or Bruford ( no one is!) but much better than Jay Schellen. Billy is very good but i miss the sound of the rick that Richie gets, really nailing Squire's tone down to the strings and the ric o sound etc. And his playing and singing are closer to the late great Chris Squire R.I.P. Liked Igor and Tom Brilslin on keys but love how Chris Clark can sound like Wakeman, Moraz or Kaye but brings more of his own style to his solos. Andy Graziano is not as good as Howe once was but has more fire and energy than Howe has these days. Overall the backing vocals of this group are fantastic, better than anything since the Rabin days. New songs sound very good, better than any Yes album since Magnification , can't wait to hear studio versions, (Richie is a great producer).Wouldn't pay to see current Yes but am going to three shows on this tour, Jon and this band really are the new Yes and Steve's band sounds like Asia without Wetton or Palmer covering Yes with a good karaoke singer. Just my humble opinion, but I have seen Yes 18 times, starting with the in the round show at the Philly Spectrum in '78 and i just hope Jon can keep going a while longer cause I really enjoy this lineup.

Saw them in Pittsburgh in 78 and your description is spot on. The one girl I should have married took me as a birthday gift back in 78. Went with my wonderful 30 yr old daughter to the 6/18 show as fathers day gift. That is Yes, in the round.
Why can't Americans be quiet and listen while the band is playing? All that idiotic whooping and whistling is embarrassing.
