Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks - "Starhip Trooper (Yes song)" Albany, NY, USA, 2024

[@jakezavala]

79 years old and he still sounds amazing!

[@stub2022]

Awesome.

[@davplys]

Thank you for posting this Jon Anderson sounds great

[@danielvalderrama]

My pleasure!

[@Alun49]

It is remarkable that Jon's voice sounds unchanged after all these years. He is almost eighty years old! Some of the top notes he can't reach now, but the quality of his singing is still there.

Band Geeks need to morph. Band Gods is more appropriate. Far more so.

[@thefool2007]

Just amazing. This sounds more like Yes than Steve’s version. Definitely worth spending money to see.

[@smedlybop]

A Freebird mashu-up?

[@ronfaulkner2148]

Freebird was recorded in 1973; Starship Trooper was recorded in 1970. So, no.

[@smedlybop]

Take at look at 8:31. They mixed it in.

[@ronfaulkner2148]

Ah, I see what you mean. Sorry, and thanks for clarifying.

[@ricky4001cs]

If Steve Howe were in "THIS" band, it wouldnt be as good. Sorry to say.

[@unstrung65]

BS ------ Steve Howe is an incredible player , this lead guitarist just fakes it .

[@ricky4001cs]

​@@unstrung65 This is the best way to tell YES people you have "literally" no idea what you are talking about. Steve is a shadow of his former self. Getting old is HELL. Its the unfortunate result of aging. the last 10 seconds were the best of this performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jamzkp2HgrFgZ7s

@@unstrung65 Andy Gratsiano is an incredible guitarist. Steve did it first though.

[@michaelginever732]

You may be right. Andy G is a pretty bloody good guitarist. He would certainly be struggling to improve it at all.

[@ricky4001cs]

@@unstrung65 Obviously, you arent a musician... just a fan.

[@TimMcKenzie-kz2pk]

Yes wake up Yes is not Yes without Jon Anderson. Even though Steve Howe is my favorite

[@unstrung65]

THIS is not YES . ( maybe in another dimension it's YES ) -- nobody can hold a candle to the originals . But it's amazing that Jon Anderson sounds so good at his age .

[@twinsmm1]

It’s not Yes but a helluva lot better than that cover band led by Steve Howe that calls themselves Yes.

[@timmy707707]

They sound more like Yes than Yes has for 20 years.
