Wakeman, Anderson, Brufurd,Howe, Squire line up. Astounding.
Also, I saw a Yes concert recently on cable. Can't tell you the year of
the concert but they were all noticeably much older. Must have been sometime in the 2,000's
Anyway, Anderson's voice was just amazing. You know how when many bands/singers get older, they will often do their hits in a lower key so they can still hit the notes? Not Jon !! he was dead on, on EVERY note
IN the original key signature. Now, considering how high he could sing in his youth, it's really unbelievable that he could do it now !! Dammit, I wish I knew the name of the concert. It was something like..
Yes live from_____. Big help right?
