Owner of a Lonely Heart - Band Geeks with Steve LaCerra

[@rnemchev]

And now these guys are playing with Jon Anderson, totally deserve it!

[@HollyJeanD]

Yup, they killed it yesterday!!!

[@johnr7279]

Indeed they do and no one better!

[@Wolfman1987]

If anyone writes anything negative on these folks, you need to go back to your tic tock world and stay there.... Keep on rockin' BAND GEEK

[@drcatslapper5008]

Covering Yes is hard. Covering Jon Anderson’s vocals is really hard. These guys kill it. The singer is amazing. She doesn’t do an Anderson clone, but manages to get the feel of the vocals whilst doing her own thing. Excellent stuff guys.

[@davehdgn5348]

I love these guys, but sorry no they don't. They do a good job but they dont kill it. TheHSCC version....now THAT KILLS.

[@mikereiss4216]

@@davehdgn5348 To each their own. I think this version is better.

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

My mom's cousin used to sing the lyrics of yes sometimes at home just to amuse himself sometimes to warm up in his dressing room before performance. I won't mention who he is, but he was a well-known and respected Canadian opera singer.

Band doing more in their basement than most bands are doing in a pro studio.

[@GloomEmbraced]

Basement? I think you mean broom closet.

[@mrmusic248]

William King: Many musical gems, never recorded, & never heard by the general population, have been created in the basement. I used to do that a lot in high school with me & 4 other fellow players, in the band we formed, (you guessed it), IN THE BASEMENT. We were, of course, an annoyance to any of our relatives that lived above ground, especially when we were having trouble learning a song.

Indeed, singing while in squatting. 😊

[@jml-rj5re]

Incredible vocal control. Not an easy song to sing at all.

[@mikereiss4216]

She's very good. I like her voice a lot.

[@sigitprabowo363]

because she's a woman, naturally has higher pitch than man

[@jmartz1969]

That guitar solo I would say it’s pretty damn perfect right on it.

[@mikebottiaux5850]

Ann Marie has a great voice!

[@luisolvera5574]

Lead singer is not giving her 100% but still nails it!!! WOW!!!

[@reyznbran9586]

fucking nailed that solo bravo

[@edmor1086]

And she sings this sitting with her legs crossed I'm impressed

[@mikereiss4216]

That's because singing in a high register is more about head voice than singing from the diaphragm.

[@gtate135]

You guys are a joy to watch, ignore the negative crap. There's nothing but positive with your videos. It's cool to see all the fun you guys have playing music together. That's what it's all about! Rock on

[@brucebbass]

My comment as a bass player for 54 years, this is a great job done on a great song. May God Bless/Rest Chris Squire. His bass lines are some of what made up my learning foundation in my early years. That and the bass player (stand up) with Les Elgart records my dad spun so often. Again, this video was very well done, by some great musicians. Also a great choice of songs. Bruce

[@leoray1234]

This song was incredibly difficult to record in the studio by Yes, and these guys nailed the entire sound right here in their basement.

Only came across these guys today by chance and I was supposed to be mowing my lawn this afternoon but cant stop watching! One of my favourite Yes songs. Seen them live a couple of times in my life in the UK and Melbourne. Cheers from Australia.

[@DouglasBriggs-yl5wr]

Her vocals are just splendid. The phrasing is excellent and far better than simply mimicking the original. Kudos!

[@jkent6526]

Great job. Her voice is perfect for this tune. Such a great number. Long live YES

[@xxYOURBIJOUxx]

Even Jon Anderson would be impressed with this cover. So hard to replicate Jon’s voice but here she has done a good job. Musicians are spot on!

[@StanHere1]

Gotta-Say! .... The Drummer is REALLY into this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....and so is this listener. [So close to 'Yes"!]

[@benjaminhawthorne1969]

I've never heard a male singer who could come close to Jon Anderson's alto tenor voice. Truly inspired thinking by whoever came up with the idea of having a woman do it. I've been a YES fan for nearly 40 years. My brother took me to see them @ The Rosemont Horizon on March 9, 1984. Yes, I remember the date and that the tour was sponsored by "Sparkomatic" car audio. Yes I spent a lot of time staring at that ticket, awaiting the show. They did not disappoint with an oval shaped stage where behind Alan's drum kit it tilted up and the front sloped down so Jon could walk on it periodically. All future shows in my life are compared to this, with only RUSH @ the United Center coming close.

I think Richie and Trevor had a long lunch with a lot of information getting shared. I keep being amazed by both the note and timbre perfection of the playing.

If that was true then Richie would have played the clean part like Trevor does - open string picking is not how he does it. Solo was spot on though.
