Jon Anderson is one of those uncanny singers that sounds exactly the same now in their elderly years as they did in their prime. You can listen to old 70's live recordings of him and compare by yourself, it's pretty crazy!

[ggshes]

Jon's voice is like no other. It's a shame he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. His voice has held up incredibly well. I've been a Yes fan for over 30 years, and his voice is one of the reasons why. Start anywhere in their catalog if you want to hear more -- you really can't go wrong.

[johnhmaloney]

Jon Anderson is an absolute icon and one of the most unique voices in rock and roll. His speaking voice is also very high, so that's how he's able to effortlessly hit those amazing high notes. If you want to check out some of their earlier stuff, I recommend either Heart of the Sunrise or I've Seen All Good People.

[bobsavage]

"Did he always sound this good?" Yes, and the original bass player (Chris Squire, RIP) also had an amazing voice - if you listen to their 70s material they had amazing multi-part harmonies.

[DanielBobke]

Jon Anderson is 77 now and he hasn't missed a step with his voice. You close your eyes and he is 25 years old. The greatest rock singer in the past 50 years.

[toddgross]

No lip syncing in this band. No backing tracks. They sound great after all the year's. They never missed a beat.

[RhysAZ]

If you love his voice in this video, you really need to check out the entire Yes collection with Jon as the singer. His voice is angelic. Unbelievable.

[johntague]

I love people discovering bands like Yes, RUSH, etc... it gives me hope.

[smilerpink]

One of the Yes classic albums “Close to the Edge” was released 50 years ago. Usually included among the best prog albums ever. Three songs: title cut, “And You and I, ” and “Siberian Khatru.” Check it out. Band’s best lineup, imo.

[christophercheck]

"And You and I" is a great song that showcases Jon's mastery of dynamics.

I have a friend whose choir in college collaborated with him about 20 years ago and she says he was not only a great talent to work with, but had no ego and was a fabulous, wonderful fellow.

So happy that you finally did a Yes review!
I'd humbly suggest that you also take a listen (or do a review of a Yes tune where Steve Howe and Chris Squire are on guitar and bass. Their original bassist, Chris Squire, came up singing church choral music with all its harmonic complexity. His voice, along with Steve Howe taking the low harmonies are perfect behind Jon Anderson. The harmonies are complex, and they were masters at contrapuntal harmony back in the day. And You and I from the Symphonic Yes tour would be a great example

[tronlady]

BETH! Bless you. This man was actually “let go” from yes and his voice is absolutely incredible. I saw this tour and I could not believe what I was hearing. You are going to absolutely LOSE YOUR SHIT when you hear their back catalogue.
They are one of the most important and influential bands to ever have existed. GET READY GIRL ❤

[VictorMedinaM]

Wanna cry and laugh at the same time seeing her discover how wonderful Jon Anderson is... sometimes we are so used to him that we take it for granted... this reminds me how wonderful he is, again! :)

[discussdebate]

Jon has been doing this a long time... most people cannot sustain vocals like this other than it's an inherent talent; it comes naturally. * he's definitely gifted

[mattyesfan]

Yeah, more Yes please! Jon is one of the most unique, beautiful voices of all time and their harmonies are always great. You’ll be shocked to hear their 70’s stuff after this song, much different sound. Highly recommend reviewing “Awaken”, such a masterpiece.

[alistairmacdonald]

Jon is without doubt an incredible performer. His diction, phrasing, choice of words to fit the music rather than make a detailed story. In addition to his voice he has a great solo recording career which keeps on going and many wonderful collaborations ((Vangelis, Wakeman, Pontypridd, Roine Stolt) I can’t get enough of him, he is a one off. Really enjoyed your review, such enthusiasm.

[steeleye]

Jon's voice has lasted longer than anybody else I'm aware of, been so lucky to hear him do so much.

[Oldpuck]

Beth- these guys are freaking Rock GODS!!! They were a super group in the mid 70’s and still are. Going to a Yes concert back in the day told people you had the finest taste in progressive rock bands. Yes is and always will be a legend.

[malph]

The whole of this gig, recorded live at the Apollo, is fantastic. The version of 'Awaken' they did is just mind-blowing, Wakeman's keyboard solo has to be seen to be believed.

[pcdoctor]

I haven't listened to them in a while. That was awesome. Glad you felt the joy in their music.
