Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks - "Shine on" Albany, NY, USA, 2024

Damn Skippy, that's cause it's not Jon solo, it's a BAND! This is Yes actual.

Btw, official video of the studio version of this song is getting released tomorrow, Thursday June 13th.

wow. that sounds more like YES than YES official

[@RonBaldino]

The only reason it's not called Yes is because Jon doesn't want to deal with any legal crap with Steve over the name. This is the only group playing yes music with a founding member of the band. Jon's voice and co-writing the new songs with the rest of the band makes it YES!

@@RonBaldino Jon doesn't have to deal with any legal crap from Steve Howe. Jon has the legal right to use the name; he already did it with ARW. However, Jon can't use the logo which is owned by Steve Howe. The question is: does Jon have to pay a portion of all ticket and and album revenue to the other owners of the name-- like the Squire estate. For example, it was Squire's widow who suggested to Jon that he could use the name Yes. Another example: Ronnie Van Zant's widow earns a six figure income yearly if Lynyrd Skynryd tours. If Jon has to do that, this might be the reason why he isn't using the name.
