I've listen Yes since 1974 and I have to say, this is a Yes cover band. Nothing more to say

[@otisspunkmeyer9339]

Agreed but I also saw Yes Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman other unknowns and Rabin and I felt the same way it wasn’t Yes mainly no Steve Howe

[@69spook]

Yes, it's lame.....

[@alarmservicepros]

This exactly why I post the videos on my channel. So people don't waste thier money on cover bands.

[@malcolmharing3744]

Let's face it , you can't replace the singer of some bands. This is one of them.

[@MickDunne100]

...or the bassist...or the drummer...or the keyboardist. For some -- too many, actually -- nostalgia is preferred to reality.

[@andreaslux6401]

It is nt, … but‘s ok!

[@MrFchank]

Agreed. Jon Anderson cannot be replaced.

[@MickDunne100]

The authentic YES died with Chris Squire.

[@bélalugrisi]

Best comment ever!

[@MarkDelRusso]

Nobody can replace the originals! Especially Anderson and Squire. I've seen them at least 10 times and there are no replacements period. Although Anderson and the Geek Band sound GREAT! Going to see them 5/30/2024 State theater New Brunswick NJ. Can't Wait!!!

[@beatles1000]

I was there in New Brunswick. Great show

[@jerrycordova5476]

Like everybody says you can't replace Chris squire what's the act by himself wakeman was also a master Anderson and of course Ellen White I seen them so many times this band just don't cut it but at least Steve Howe is trying to keep it going from looks it looks like he won't be around too much longer I hope I'm wrong glad I was there for the original lineup Golden memories God bless

[@XanderWilson601]

It was the Golden Age of some of the best rock ever played, and in my opinion, will EVER be played. 60's-70's

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

I'd much rather see the Band Geeks with Jon Anderson

[@sean317]

Amen

[@nickolaskentala9583]

Enjoy the man who is a tyrant

[@2010gswgraduate100]

Agreed 100%! I’ve seen Jon Anderson three times. The first two times were when he formed ARW with Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman, and then again last year with The Band Geeks. All three shows were amazing! That was more YES sounding than whatever this is. It’s NOT YES without Jon Anderson, and everyone knows it. Geoff Downes is no Rick Wakeman and should’ve stayed with Asia. This “YES” makes my heart sad and my ears bleed. If you haven’t heard, Jon Anderson is releasing a new album this Summer with the Band Geeks and I’m so excited! Can’t wait! Go see Jon with the Band Geeks! They rock!

[@Mysticdan54]

Yes, it was the first band I saw live at the Ottawa Civic Center on November 1st, 1972. My favorite song from Yes is Roundabout.

[@robertsegal9869]

Me too.

I saw Yes in the 80's - there's nothing like watching this to make one feel really, really old - but I'm good with that....

Anything with Steve Howe kicks ass. Enjoy him, we won't always have him.

[@michaelmckenna9022]

@@bdav7436 I don't know Steve Howe, but his guitar playing is great. As far as loyalty to Yes Chris Squire was the best. I'm not a stalker, just a fan.

You are correct. I was a big fan of Asia when they first came out. Still like them.

[@JoeLucero-r5l]

Nice cover of a Yes classic.

[@justaskin8523]

My God, the judgy I'm reading in the comments below. Some of the commenters here should be ashamed. Many of these musicians won't be with us anymore, in as little as 10 years...or even 5. No grace. No appreciation. And no grateful attitudes of any kind. What is wrong with us? Just passing our judgy on as if it really matters what we think, imagine the hubris. These people actually played their instruments. And they actually sang with their own voices, in an era when very few young artists take the time and trouble to develop the skills and do that anymore. Really, it's amazing that anybody even bothers! I liked the song. It would have been nice to hear it live, and I've been to Yes shows, so I know what I'm talking about. This performance was good enough because it was shipshape enough. It is Yes. It might not be your favorite Yes, but seriously, anybody who says it isn't Yes is just being mean and crusty. We've learned nothing about the messages of love and kindness that earlier versions of this band and many others crafted a half-century or more ago. Concert's over with, now everybody please leave politely, and don't leave any trash in the parking lot! 🤨

[@bélalugrisi]

Sorry. NOT grateful forJon Davidson in YES.

[@jst601]

Then don't listen.​@@bélalugrisi

[@kansasisaband]

Plenty of appreciation...just not a fan of trying to make something more of the talent than there is. It's over. Hang it up. It's okay to retire. Howe's a great guitarist. Shiddy human narcissist extraordinaire and complete asshole in person...but what a great talent to hide his lack of humanity.

[@zoiudo749]

I undestand your side and I undestand the frustration in the comments too. Both are judging, and I´m ok with that.

[@jackerdelac9065]

It’s not YES.

[@neilouellette3004]

This isn't YES. Just Steve Howe and Friends.

[@xooxooxoox]

The song Roundabout is Yes. Not group, only Steve.

[@nickolaskentala9583]

So who is Yes ?

[@emmanuelpia2525]

It's more Asia (Geoff Downes with Steve Howe) than Yes Who plays Yes.

[@bruceberry6387]

Steve is Yes!🖖

[@Iknowthtruth]

Absolutely. Jon and his friends are the real YES. Obviously. Love Steve, but…

[@flytothesunmusic]

World goes through changes, life rearranges. Thanks guys for carrying on with this great music!

[@heritagesteamandrockfan1988]

It's the other guys who left the band,tony iommi of Sabbath was the only original but kept Sabbath going for the love of it,that's what Steve Howe is doing just carrying on the torch with new members! Still sounds great!

[@captainspock6221]

explain that to rick, jon and trevor

[@cedarwaxwing3509]

Well, in terms of “left the band,” Squire and White, uh, died. And Anderson was fired when he suffered respiratory illness and the band (Howe, mainly) refused to cancel a tour to wait for him to recover. And if you think that Davison and Downes “sounds great,” I am suspicious of your pedigree as a long-term Yes fan.

[@adude394]

One of my favorite bands ever. I've seen them in concert at least a dozen times dating back to the 1980 Drama tour. No matter the lineup on stage, I've never been unsatisfied with the performances they've provided for their fans.

[@henriquevilladacostaferrei3814]

Sounds great! Does not matters what you´ll rather call it!

[@tomgleeson4923]

So glad I saw yes three times in the seventies. Great memories

[@carlamurray9150]

I saw YES 3 x too in the 70 s,also Rick Wakemen solo ,loved all of it

[@rolandnyc4938]

I don't know why I never saw them. One of my few regrets.

[@claudiopesse3802]

Espectacular !!! Claudio desde Río Gallegos Patagonia Argentina

[@sgsound12]

Ohh gosh....I'm 68, haring Yes since the 70's...my Fav album "Fragile"....I can recognize each sound and instrument in "Roundabout" only Steve Hows guitar sound the same ( and those guitars are the same too..physically)....I miss the fat sound from the Chris Squire Rickenbaker bass...and his armonies in the song too....and I miss the Jon Anderson clear voice too...Time has passed!

[@beatles1000]

I saw Jon Anderson the other night in New Brunswick. Fabulous. This isn’t Yes

[@JurgenSeitz-by7gs]

Nein,dies ist nie und nimmer Yes.Seit Chris Squire nicht mehr dabei war,dann noch Alan White,ganz zu schweigen von Jon Anderson,er alleine war schon das Gesicht von Yes.Aber jetzt,eher Steve Howe und Freunde!!!😢

[@markwitkowski6418]

Steve Howe is great

[@Sandman64613]

Maybe, but he isn't 'Yes'🤨. He needs to reunite with Anderson, Bruford, White, Wakeman, Rabin, or anyone left🤔?! Steve🤩 has turned the band into a bunch of 'session musicians whores'🤑!!

[@barrye5376]

I do not care if this is called a Tribute Band by some who feel compelled to do so- Because it is a Band that deserves tribute - But Mainly I would Never miss a chance to hear Steve Howe take us to other dimensions even at this stage. He is in the all time great musicians family and will be so forever!!! Several times I saw him with Yes in small venues several times in the late 90s and early 2000s in addition to the 70s in Big Venues and he literally brought Tears of Joy!!

[@seabud6408]

Get over it folks. I saw this line up in Glasgow. They were fantastic, gave it their all and the crowd were on their feet. No band can duplicate the era when they were making it all up in their 20’s. I haven’t enjoyed a concert so much in years .. and they didn’t play a note from my favourite album .. Close to the Edge. 😀 The new singer did a great job with notoriously difficult vocal gymnastics.

[@darylwilliams7886]

I saw the classic lineup in Melbourne with Chris and Rick. These guys do justice to the music. Yes has always been a shifting ensemble of musicians. Chris would be proud of what Billy brings to the band,

[@skipmessier765]

I agree with all the rest of the comments. This is definitely NOT Yes ! Like others have said, this band should be touring as “ Steve Howe and Friends “ rather than Yes as they just don’t cut it. Most songs are played too slow and Davison’s vocals don’t hold a candle to Jon Anderson. Geoff Downes’ keyboards are plain amateurish. Sorry.

Although not all og's but Steve did get the right players to deliver... This singer sound so close to Jon is amazing.. with all respect bring back Jon he deserves it or have both singers?

[@colinburroughs9871]

they hate each other and have for 40 years. The cosmic lesson of 1972 being juxtaposed with the rest of the story is the actual life lesson of the band.. Bruford knew. Fire up some Earthworks..

[@jamesmuir5262]

I wish it could be so simple! Jon Davison met Jon Anderson at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame afterparty and expressed his gratitude for the music he made, offering that they should do some music together. I think that's a beautiful moment in YES history and just demonstrates how love conquers all. "Love will find a wayyy"

Everyone of the guys on that stage is great and does a great job. I just do not get the same feelings from that first concert my parents took me to in 98 when I was only eight years old. I have to agree this is Steve Howe's Yes cover band doing a damn good job I have to add.

[@liam8084]

Who's playing the "backward piano" as Howe plays the acoustic opening? Downes is just standing there.

[@progmeup]

That's just a sample, probably faded in by the engineer

[@garydadson2652]

Downes kicks it on with moog pedals. Watch his feet

[@Gilyslas]

Steve still has his chops and delivers. Very nice performance.

[@WolfgangvonBoyen]

A band is something that grows naturally. You can't copy something like that, you can't do it with the Beatles, you can't do it with Queen and you can't do it with YES. If Keith Richard and other musicians tried to imitate the Stones, he too would fail. A rhythm section can be replaced like an engine in a car, the soul of a music group cannot be replaced.

[@nickolaskentala9583]

The Stones don't play live they have a backing band .

[@nickolaskentala9583]

Keith Richards can only play certain parts with the backing band playing the rest.They have all kinds of people playing behind the curtains and below the stage.

[@WolfgangvonBoyen]

@@nickolaskentala9583 Keith Richards' phrasing is so unique that no one can copy it. There are individual skills like Mick Jagger's voice that you can't copy. Do a test with AL and try to have Mick Jagger sing "Love Me Do" by the Beatles - it won't work! Artificial intelligence also has natural limits, just like all of us. I'm 74 years old and to this day I play all of my music live and with the first take. I never repeat myself and no one can copy me.

[@RockOnChannelRoute66]

No No noooo. With this line ups, no way this would be called YES. YES is over, finished, history if it would not be Jon Anderson and Bill Brufford in the band, c’mon man, they are the living legend who formed Yes. This is simply Steve Howe and Friends. So sad to see this.

[@cnilecnile6748]

Technically, none of them are original members, Steve Howe is the second guitar player. There have been many variations and lineups through the decades, and at one point, there were 2 different versions going at the same time. Steve Howe is the definitive guitar player, though, and you could make the argument that "Owner of a Lonely Heart" wasn't Yes, either. Or anything with Alan White wasn't Yes. I listened to some of the new album, and it sounds like a Yes record to me,

[@RedBud315]

I forget exactly what year since I'm just slightly younger than these fella's but, I think it was about 1982 when I saw then at the L.A. Forum and I think it was the first time there was what they called a floating stage and it spun around in circles so everyone got to see the front of the stage.

[@stuartdmt]

The band by necessity has to evolve. Yes, Jon Anderson's vocals cannot be replaced, and the same with Chris Squire's bass and vocals - and I will always miss both Bruford and White, and the string of previous keyboardists - and damn it, Peter Banks was brilliant during the band's opening salvo! Trevor Rabin saved the band when things looked bleak... All that said, this new incarnation is what it is, and that is 21st Century YES. I do wish Billy would be higher in the mix both with his bass and his vocals, and maybe pick up the tempo on some songs, but I am not in the band and it is their decision. They still perform wonderfully and I will continue to listen, groove, and learn from their music. And if Steve and Jon were to reconcile at some point I would be pretty darn happy....!
