You picked one of the toughest bands to cover, did a great job. Highlights everyone's skills, great vocalist.

[@a320nick]

Exactly!

[@laryjones]

Fabulous job! The singer didn't just imitate. Her personality and a beautiful voice come right through.

[@RivetGardener]

A tough song to cover. One of my favorites of all time. That lead singer girl's voice is so smooth and so right. Wow. The whole band is spot on. The keyboard kid nailed it!

[@epistte]

This is a very technical song to do. They did a great job.

G'wan lass , fantastic voice, what a change to hear someone young belting out classics, great voice and musicians 👌

[@johngoyer]

Man is it good to see young kids cover Yes.

[@jeffschielka7845]

PHENOMENAL! My favorite band of over 50 years. These kids showed tremendous talent. Rhythm section was on point. Vocals were excellent. Singing Jon Anderson is not an easy task. She did great. Keys were also fantastic. Wakeman would be proud. Guitar work was incredible. Steve Howe being one of the best guitarists in the world. This band took a very difficult song and made it their own. Video and sound were exceptional! Great venue. This is a video that can be watched over and over and you will see and hear something new every time! Great job by this SoR band! Turn it up, close your eyes, and take the musical journey that is YES!!!

Lead vocal has a great voice strong. ❤ it. Rock on y'all .

[@davejohnson-yi2rk]

The lead vocalist really has talent. I'd love to hear them cover this in the studio where the mix is easier to control. I'm sure it would sound much better, but it's still good. Yes's songs are tough to do.

[@raoulsantos1522]

This was a superb rendition by this young group of musicians. The pretty female vocalist carried this song all the way with fury and talent. There are no easy songs produced by YES. All great musical works of art. I was first introduced to Yes while at prep school in the 70's The level of talent emanating from the School of Rock is boundless. The other dark haired pretty female singer, does a great job nailing the vocals on Avenging Annie. Keep up the great work on old tunes that stand the test of time. You can tell the young musicians appreciate the depth of these old quality tunes. Rock On

[@reducecotwo]

Impressive indeed, however I don't think I've ever seen a pair of drumsticks quite that big around before, maybe that's what amateur drum sticks look like, dunno.

[@gonzorhernando5265]

Tough song to cover… hats off to these youngins! Kudos to the bass player… guy’s rocking!!! Guitar (black LP) nailing the licks. Vocalist Drummer and keyboard did an excellent job! Thank you! ✌🏼👌👍🏼🥰

Impressed by the keyboardist. He nailed it all through the song.

[@TheJnatch]

I have regained my confidence in America's youth

[@manthony1956]

I like the fact the singer kept the song within herself, talent/ range. Make the song your own is more than a mantra. Unless you're a tribute band, nothing says that you can't be true to yourself. It just sounds so much authentic when you are not trying to imitate every nuance of the original.

[@jeffschielka7845]

I've seen many YES cover bands. None have a singer that can duplicate Jon Anderson. Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!

[@MidWestConcertVideo2]

I have to mix a stereo feed from the soundboard with a pair of mics because the guitar and bass ants are so freaking loud on stage, that none of them wind up in the board mix. If guitar and bass players want to be heard, they should turn down their amplifiers.
