I’ve always been a fan of Yes. I’ve seen them numerous times through the years with various line-ups. The last time I saw them was with Asia and featured the new vocalist, Benoit David. He sounded good, but he obviously wasn’t Jon Anderson. Jon was unceremoniously booted from Yes a few years ago due to medical problems. Jon is on his solo tour and seeing him at an intimate local venue was too good to pass up!Jon mostly played along with guitar during the set, but he also played piano, ukulele and sitar. His distinctive voice still sounds incredible. He easily sounded good enough to still be in Yes, but apparently he doesn’t feel the need to tour as extensively as the schedule the band still maintains (probably among other things). It was nice seeing him in a relaxed atmosphere telling really cool, candid stories between songs. At 67 years old, he definitely still has it. He threw in little parts of Beatles tunes and played a little reggae as well. It was definitely a fun show.
