Jon Anderson with the Easton School of Rock

[@carlosmorais3610]

Only Jon would sing backup on his own masterpiece to let a kid shine! Wonderful stories...

[@marcioricha8069]

Great man. Example of humility!

[@joannthomases9304]

He's certainly fun and exceptionally good with these children, and making a difference in a lot of lives as seen, here ! His voice would be hard to match, so, he took his heart to reach out, from such a gift, as his !!!

[@AlternateViewConcept]

Jon is a mentor and role model to young and old - musically, philosophically and his entire view of life.

[@Beamshipcaptain]

I LOVE JON ANDERSON! And YES. RIP Chris Squire and and Alan White.

[@jmg5998]

I'm actually crying over the beautiful love Jon is giving these students!

[@yaelrar.4460]

Stunning! These are children playing serious rock!!! I wonder if they know how lucky they were to work with Jon Anderson!

[@JOEB955]

That gal has a great voice. Could you imagine having Jon Anderson as your back up singer??

[@richardl6751]

Listen to her here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXW4cmOraqmsZqs She comes in at 4:50.

[@frankalfar]

Man this made my day, tears of joy!!! Can't imagine how nervous one would be to sing and play Yes w Jon Anderson right there. This is a Wonderous Story to tell their kids in the future. Wow!!!!

[@TacomaPaul]

There IS hope for the future !

[@TheGlssr60]

I saw these kids (at least I'm fairly certain it was the same group of kids because I'm from Easton, Pa) play the song "2112" by Rush in its entirety. I was absolutely blown away.

[@jonfadem]

Yep, that was them! Here's a video of them doing "Xanadu" from 'A Farewell To Kings'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXW4cmOraqmsZqs

[@jimdartouzos2127]

Hello. .....A fellow Easton , Pa.' er here.....These kids and Jon were Freakin AWESOME here.

[@mariovuksanovic5077]

Jo Anderson is a true master he leads by following. These kids are really getting into Yes.Misic. It goes to prove that. when Music is good, it transcends generations Today's hits have not proven themselves...some believe that. today's artists don't work as hard as the musicians of Yes..when they first started therefore the quality and musicianship of today's artists is not as good. Jon is doing his part to train kids to be better musicians...by teaching them how to play Yes Music which is complex and a challenge to play. With that kind of training, these kids stand a chance to go on and write great music in the future.

[@meditationrosewicks278]

Glad I was fortunate to hug this beautiful man. 😍 Fabulous 👌

[@drfoxcourt]

How wonderful. Nothing Yes ever did was simple, easy or basic. The band Yes was composed of master musicians. It is great to see youth even attempting this let along doing a masterful job themselves, ... and in front of one of the original masters yet! I'll say it again. How wonderful.

[@gazza2969]

YES music will be played forever...

[@jpsheldon]

Love Jon and what he does with kids! Excellent!!!!

[@TheFloydian72]

Absolutely breathtaking. Jon is a fantastic person who supported the kids and they were amazing.

[@lindazee]

I can't stop smiling. So wonderful to see Jon Anderson with these young talented musicians. They pulled off a very complex song.

[@jjr8614]

This was posted 11 years ago...If anyone involved ever still looks at this I just want to say...You crushed it!!!!!

[@Wotan2900]

How absolutely brilliant for the band - I'm sure they'll always remember this experience. And how wonderful of Jon Anderson to support and mentor them. Quite fantastic!

[@scottbassoff5800]

Just when you think I saw all yes had to offer Jon strikes again. Love it.

[@karendurant4981]

The mom at the end in tears of joy!

[@sebastianmelmoth9100]

What a marvelous moment. It's a blessed thing to share your wisdom and your time.

[@glenesis]

I didn't think it possible but I love Jon Anderson even more now :)

[@TedLaskowski_Inspired]

This is so cool! Thanks to Jon Anderson and the Easton School of Rock for a wonderful performance. It warms my heart to see Jon involved with the kids but especially that the kids would undertake such a difficult project and obviously love the music.

[@charlesdaigle8633]

Wonderful, drying my eyes!

[@jaquestraw1]

Me too Charles!

[@shawndworkin]

progbob1 me four

[@laurentiudragomir1091]

Me too..

[@philipmazonson4694]

me too!

[@robfolk7619]

Absolutely!! What a moment this must have been for these kids! Amazing!

[@finn6988]

"Oh it was alright... but there were no lions, tigers or bears... no candy floss... toffy-apples... no clowns..."

[@SpittingLamaMIDI]

I saw this for the first time today and it really moved me Just listening to Close to the Edge as a young teen had a major impact on my view of what music could be and it impacted the course of my life. I can't even imagine having experienced this at that age.

[@karrazaki89]

I think no one has felt a more sincere joy than these kids right here. Specially the dude in the dyed t shirt.

[@maggiemay823]

nothing short of MAGICAL !!!!!! Look how happy all of the kids are !

[@RicardoRMartinelli]

It is great to see a new generation enjoying the YES music!

[@Wollenschrank]

Perpetual Change by these kids are so awaesome and stunning.

[@Beamshipcaptain]

The Future of Western Civilization is safe! Thanks to The Paul reen School of Rock, and Sir John Anderson!

[@davidryan7386]

so beautiful. Jon inspiring great grand kid aged generations.

[@jkmenegay]

So very cool, and how good are those kids!! The singer was phenomenal, held her tune and didn't over-extend - made all the difference in the quality of the entire song. I've been listing to Yes for 45 years, so I have an appreciation for what they put together here. Kudos to their music teachers as well; they must be pretty cool in their own right to let band go all out on some Yes!. :-)

[@RicardoRMartinelli]

and John was there too! AMAZING!

[@jeffschielka7845]

Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎤🎤🎤

[@blitztim6416]

How awesome to play with and for John Anderson.

[@designerlarry]

School of Rock? And NO Jack Black? No fear. Jon Anderson is here! Doesn't get any better than this--OUTSTANDING, Kids!

[@stevenlepine1883]

Saw yes at the Boston Gliderdrome January 29 1972 ,never got over it BRILL!!!!

[@stevenlepine1883]

Well done people keep rock alive

[@ELPERRITOENEAS]

Que honor cantar con una leyenda !!

[@pasqualemarino2449]

Bravi, bravissimi.... Siete un esempio per chi fa musica solo per Business.🌶️🌶️🌶️😃

[@richardbrannin7368]

Awesome. So great to see young people playing so well. Very cool to see Jon with them.

[@725Roman]

Great Job! What a pure voice and good musicianship. I have to play this every day!

[@zoso73]

The acoustics in that room are AMAZING.

[@morbidmanmusic]

unless you are the one playing. rooms like this are really hard unless you have a lot of PA gear. It is hard to hear anything on stage. have a YES cover soundcloud.com/morbidman/gates-of-delirium-yes-cover

[@johng.8517]

This was great! Just came across it. Hope you all became big YES fans.

[@simonsays3063]

Oh my, Jon you are my hero.

[@pseudosun]

excellent - first time i heard kids playing YES

[@georger8191]

Wonderful. A new young generation of great players.

[@papunAlicea]

Nice...thanks for share...great effort...nice job....grest rock sound and performance

[@amydavidval]

This is just too cool

[@hugo_PaNK]

Perpetual Change, última canción de The Yes Album. Excelente interpretación con el maestro Jon Anderson!!!❤❤❤

[@michaelsoto5542]

Bravo Jon! He is so into this performance giving his all & helping to direct the music. I played with him at a Rock camp & he does not disappoint. He is genuine & a wonderful human being. Well done Easton School of Rock!

[@philipmazonson4694]

this is beautiful. ! love Jon big time !! seeing him preform in a few weeks 💚

[@consultoraumbralspa1522]

Excelente trabajo de los jóvenes.. Además Jon es un dios.. de talento y sencillez.. Y los jóvenes músicos recordarán este momento para siempre.. Grande Jon.. Saludos desde Chile..

[@Alf-Garnish]

Superb, those young musicians will remember that day forever

[@mikewilliams7519]

what a fantastic group of young musicians!! Joyful to watch and listen to!! As an old Yes fan and having seen them play in the 70's - this is simply a breath of fresh air. Well done Jon Anderson and well done the band!

[@arthurallsopp9344]

What a Guy. Jon Anderson is such an awesome vocalist and what a human being for mentoring these kids. I am a music teacher and this is what led me to my job when I was younger. Sting ran part of my Summer classes program at Berklee college of music when I was still in high school.

[@MrAlfredoferreira]

imagine the ecstasy of these kids playing with a rock and roll icon

[@institutorockaoantigo]

I`m pissed. I`ve watched this video many times already and every single time I cry tears of joy of seeing gods and children being one. This video is pretty amazing, thanks very much for posting!

[@johnsmits2494]

Pedro Melo The whole band sounds damn good but I must say that girl singer is just awesome. Note how she throws her own stuff in there, and she doesn't stumble, in fact adds to the song. Jon is a great guy and probably saluted everyone. But I hope he told her( or her parents) that she is meant to sing , please encourage her as much as possible if she wants to sing. Like some other posters here, I keep coming back to this Well it is a great song, even stripped down a bit, and maybe it's just me but Jon himself sort of gives off this ageless vitality. Also there have been talks that Yes should carry on regardless of mortality, trying to utilize sons, daughters, general relations but of course some outsiders as well. The kids play the song a bit simpler but so what !! It still rocks and still has interesting "Prog" bits.Bravo.

[@bernieheveron1929]

So good to see kids playing the music of YES and to see one of my rock heroes working with kids!

[@luismanzur1752]

increíble chicos..y gracias jon por tanto...desde argentina ...fans yes

[@markthomas1462]

The two people that thumbs downed this are probably the most miserable people in the world. This is sooooo coool!! But I also give lessons too so maybe I'm a bit over enthused.

[@mamakel823]

It's probably just that they were hoping that Jon would've sang.

[@johngauci3863]

Brilliant effort ! Just fantastic to see young people engaging in the best prog rock in the world ! Just fills you with lots of hope for the future of music. Particular great effort from the vocals and guitar. WELL DONE all of you.

[@josephvargas480]

I now have faith in tomorrow.

[@reidar55]

Absolutely amazing, moved me to tears! I'd love to know what these kids are doing now, if any of them are musicians.

[@Jeffrey.Seelman]

This is truly a great performance and video.

[@cookmoore3736]

Wheww! That was awesome! Everyone was so good. And it is soo great to see Jon performing, coaching, with and enjoying the performance especially with those whistles and clapping. Great to see those really into it and that Yes shirt. Would be so cool if Jon was my mentor:) A learning experience. I wonder how many artists contribute to any School of Rock programs.

[@karendurant4981]

It sounds like he was your mentor to me.

[@nmc122155]

Awesome!

[@zgs12212012]

These kids were amazing! And the breakdown around the 6 minute mark was brilliant

[@FrankBond0077]

very cool ! great guys ! the singer was perfect !

[@bcafed]

what an awesome video

[@beaucroftrecorders]

This warms my heart

[@paulomauriciorpinto2334]

Pls kids the Master didnt need drugs to create this masterpiece

[@DimondR100]

This brought tears to my eyes!

[@BrianBarton]

Great job, kids!

[@adriannorris1486]

Totally appreciate all the work that went into this.....and Jon....a true gent and legend.

[@johna5599]

Beautiful!

[@lightsone2]

I would've loved to have been there.

[@misate8993]

Love it love it. Nice cover

[@JamesPeterson-i4o]

What a class act of Jon ❤

[@MrUsermister]

... for as much I love Jon Anderson, the young generation and music ... you don't learn "those things" at school. But it's a good start !!!

[@TerrenceDuggan]

Wonderful, so much fun!

[@rodolfodelbene9873]

Absolutely emotional and stunning! Congratulations!

[@paulnery832]

Fantastic!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@gitaneVYS491R]

As I sit here it's Boxing Day evening and I'm sure if I turned on the tv there would be even more talent-less celebrities on than usual. It's so good to see kids who actually have some talent altho' it's a pity that they aren't getting the exposure they deserve. I wish them well.

[@multiplefx]

It transports me 48 years ago. At that time, would anyone think that rock music (which was current and extravagant) would be taught in an academic way?

[@christianouellet2012]

sympathique Jon Anderson

[@rosemarywessel1294]

Oh how fun is this!

[@johnsmits2494]

That singer is good to go ! She totally gets the subtleties and kicks ass as well!

[@cecilingram6018]

They Have been listening to Yessongs this is why music should be in schools

[@thomasromano9321]

And this is Progressive Rock.... not an easy song to play, a lot of timing and chord changes. Not easy to learn this, but the kids did alright.

[@papunAlicea]

Great...nice job...great performance

[@chuckbelloise2565]

Thats Jon for ya....

[@steelers6titles]

As truth is gathered, I rearrange.

[@marcelofiorucci3554]

Que grande Anderson y mil felicitaciones a los chicos 🇦🇷

[@hudentdw2]

Jon is a good man and such a legend!

[@stratcat3216]

Very cool Jon! Well done mate.

[@johngreen6385]

Yes yes yes well done kids rock on😎🤘🤘🤘💖

[@robertorowe9377]

Todo sea por fomentar a las nuevas generaciones la poderosa cultura musical del Rock y en especial el portentoso Rock Progresivo 👍

[@robfrydryck127]

Yes is not easy, musicians did a nice job, lead singer was just marvelous. Jon was the perfect mentor.

[@TheWorldBelow360]

Whaow has she got the pipes! Absolutely stellar! But I’d like to hear the long necked fella in the blue shirt has to say about anything. What a strange…probably a doctor of something by knowing. And the tall man, left of the stage, but not stage left, in black shirt with the classic face…what is his ethnicity? Regardless, so Awsm to see that youth takes to fantasy rock so easily.

[@aliasreco]

When I was young some years ago (!) I remembered we had a lot of fun playing Tommy (the Who) and Neil Young in high-school. Have some fun enjoy it. But surely it is not perpetual. Chris does not listen anymore. "Soon" Jon is not listening anymore. I can imagine "Stille Nacht" will be sung in heaven but all the pop songs will be forgotten. There's a time for fun. But make sure you take time for eternity. Only Jesus Christ saves us from our sin and He promises perpetual life. That's where I want to go. (No worry- good music in heaven). But don't get fooled. Lots of things we think important will be forgotten there, soon forgotten. Shalom.

[@1crashit]

Awesomeness!!!
