I’m a pretty well spoken guy but I’m almost at a loss for words. I didn’t think was possible. My friend turned me on to you guys and I was immediately blown away. I never had the chance to see Yes live. This is the next best thing. You’ve captured all the nuances that made yes so incredible. Again I didn’t this could be done. You guys are so talented. Thank you so much for recreating these musical masterpieces.

Algorithm: You need to watch this for the 50th time.
Me: Absolutely.

Victor L, you worded it beautifully. I'm a 67-year-old aspiring bass player that never could play this, but I'm still trying. This composition is pure genius, the first time that the bass player was the lead instrument, , , Chris, you paved new ground, Rest in Peace. To the band Geeks, , damn great job! You folks nailed it, , Bravo!

I have been moved by this song all my life, it has all Jon Andersons balance of meaning and mystery, but to hear it so well performed with a female voice is to renew it, big praise to you guys.

I am a 69 year old, slightly misanthropic, curmudgeon who had been a progressive music fan since 1971. I seldom give out accolades and I am even less likely to praise covers, and even more critical when it comes to covers of my favorite band "YES".
Now, with that being said, I have just finished listening to your cover of "Heart Of The Sunrise", which is my favorite "YES" song, and I am amazed. Musically your rendition is spot on. Nice contrast between intensity and serenity which is a key element of progressive music. The gal singing could easily have over sung it and ruined all this fine work but she didn't and her voice and phrasing came across as "angelic and restrained" and a great dynamic compliment to the others. Damn, if I were only 30 years younger.
I am now going to look for more of your stuff. I found this by accident but will make an effort to hear the rest of your work. Nice job.

The Rickenbacker bass is key to the song isn't it. RIP Squire.

[Bepisx]

All i wanted was for someone to yell "TELL THE MOON DOG TELL THE MARCH HARE-" at the end and I cant believe my wish came true. great video and great cover.

[rockforms]

Love that Rickenbacker sound. Kudos to the drummer, not easy to do a Bruford. Flawless!

[toastee]

When Anne-Marie started singing, the goosebumps i already had....got their own little goosebumps.

[aintskeered]

For centuries, people have gone to concerts featuring the music Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, etc. because it’s great and timeless music. So is Yes music, performed by such talented musicians.

[ruthetog]

Singer starts the song standing up. Remembers long intro, sits down. Exceptional cover, top work!

[MMiler]

Who knew Boris Johnson was such a good keyboard player?

[jacklaw]

Cannot wait to hear and see the Geeks on tour with Jon Anderson. What a dynamic combo.

[mikeydred]

Ann Marie does a great job try to over sing it, angelic yet restrained....real nice.

[robertcoluccio]

I just saw them with Jon Anderson in Massachusetts two nights ago. I had to pay a visit to where it started. They're even better now.

[dylanturner]

Just fucking spot on. Refreshing to see a drummer honor Bruford’s parts...also refreshing to see a drummer honor Wakeman’s parts😳 Really magnificent fellas.

[steeltag]

Absolutely fantastic !!! The drums….bass ….keyboard spot on…. The guitarist playing Steve’s stuff…. The tightness of it all

[RaymondBCrisp]

You can just see from the expressions on each of their faces that this was a true labor of love.

10:24. . I listened to the whole thing to this point and SPONTANEOUSLY broke into applause!!
It was THAT GOOD!
Being a 70-year old fan of "Yes" since. . . . . .. FOREVER. . . . I can say that this is spot-on!
