It feels like We've Got Our (Real) Yes back with Jon Singing !❤🙏

I just saw them tonight in Rochester, NY and the show was incredible! And Jon's voice was spot on. What a night!

Dude I saw them tonight, in St Louis and it just blew my fucking mind. Sorry to curse, but that's the only word that I can use. I even got a band geeks t-shirt. I'm a huge Richie fan, as is the rest of his band, however Jon is really the one that stole the show.

Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES❣️❣️❣️🎤🎤🎤 Love and Light ❤️🌅

Jon Anderson is not of this world. Phenomenal. Still. ❤️

The greatest piece of music ever written

Cried through the whole thing! Just GLORIOUS!!!

Jon always had this angel voice, he still sounds exactly the same at 79. Unbelievable...

Jon Anderson...Bard of the Century

Their performance of this song gave me chills,,,,,so good.

Cried with joy watching this. ❤

Thank you so much for posting this. My favourite song; magical. Jon's voice is amazing, and the band players are too. Wish they would tour UK (specifically Exeter!). Thank you again for posting this. Made my day

I wonder what Chris Squire thinks about this Collaboration seeing since Jon and He were Both The Co-Founding Members of YES Decades ago. I Bet The Band Geeks Are In Heaven Because Jon Had Called Them To See If They knew Any Other Yes Songs and They said yes then Jon asked them if they would like to do a tour and the Rest Is History as they say ! These Guys are Astounding and Spot On when I seen a video of them doing covers of Yes Songs on KZread Years Ago

I saw YES do this on the Union tour, in the round with two YES' onstage it was thunderous! This is pretty damn epic too, wow

Damn this is so good. It was even better in person. ❤

I hear Jon pure and clear as he always is, there is nobody on Earth like him, a unique human being who is the last of the greats and his passing will leave the world an emptier place (may it not be until he's at least 100: Letting in the sunshine Did we really count to one hundred). n.b. Jon was turned down from being a football player because of his frail constitution, now look at him, almost 80 and still one of the greatest singers on Earth. Please come to Australia, please.

Going tonight (6/13/2024) to the Chicago show, 2nd row / center. First saw Yes in 1978, the Tormato tour. It was 'In-The-Round' and I saw them at the Los Angeles Forum in Southern California. Have seen them many times since then. I look forward to tonight's show at the Copernicus Center, Chicago.

Thanks so much! What a vibe!! ☮, ❤ & 🎶/ 🌎

Album Oriented Rock long track at it's best. This song is a classic, IMO

Excellent video, thank you for posting it! I saw them play this song three times on the 2023 tour, and it was magical each time. As good as this is, no recording can completely capture the experience of hearing this masterpiece live. When the bass synth kicks in at 13:08, the whole room shakes! It was one of the most emotional moments I have ever experienced at a concert, and it moved me to tears each time. I'm so glad Jon got together with this amazing group of musicians and came out on the road to play this music the way it should be played. I'm going to see them again on 6/15 in Maryland Heights, Missouri - really looking forward to that show!

So, this is wonderful, as was the Todmobile version, fantastic. However, I have recordings of the genuine Yes, and have been present at Yes concerts where this song, and many others, were beautifully rendered. In particular this song, and And You And I were potentially mind and earth shattering, depending upon who was playing and how tuned in the band was at a given performance. And not only these particular songs, either. You never knew when the True Yes was going to spring forth from any song and drop your jaw through the floor. Summer 2002, Don’t Kill The Whale @ Jones Beach NY was one such occasion. I never really even liked the song that much. Yet it was as though Yes were teaching it to us anew that night. There were also other righteous performances that night and other nights. This, I think is what I loved the most about this band, whom I might love the most out of any bands from those or any other times. You just never knew when they were going to suddenly rise up and be the band we’ve always knew they were. But you knew when it was happening. One moment it was a simple rock show, and lthe next it was a Yes Show and everyone was laid low and lifted up high together. Love The Band Geeks with my hero Jon and still love my hero(they’re all my heroes) Steve Howe, but there’s never been, in my experience, anything like the sight or the sound of Yes at their best, onstage. They did it to me over and over again. I will never forget it, or them.

Did Jon ever introduce the plush lion?

The Band Geeks rool. They should change their name to The Soldiers of Fortune though. In my personal mental space I'll pretend they did that.

how the heck do you get to be able to play a guitar like that??

Hey...the bassist forgot to point to heaven :-)

No other singer will do for this music. Try as they might, they don't even come close.

Should be called "Jon Anderson and the Bald Geeks". 😂

That is exactly what they are calling this tour.

This song suffered live in the 70’s because of Wakeman’s inability to get a true pipe organ sound from his rig. When he finally could the group didn’t have the same chops as then. Anderson is a miracle and so is this band.

I saw the Going For The One Tour in '77 and this song was so powerful you could've heard a pin drop in the huge arena we were in (The Omni in Atlanta) while Jon and Rick did the harp & pipe organ section. It didn't suffer in any way. After that, I saw Rick nail it many other times/tours, too.

I'm sorry to say it but GEEKS sound better than Yes!😮 Anderson is Yes like Ozzy is Sabbath. Sorry but imagine Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant. And I respect Howe ok?

There is no YES without Jon Anderson, and these Geeks are fucking great! I have no interest in hearing the thing Steve Howe is clinging to in comparison.
