I've seen Yes countless times, since "The Relayer Tour," in December 1974. All that I could think of when I saw this (another version posted on here w/ Benoit - and not watched, saw just the song title) all I could think was "sacrilege." Well, I was wrong. This guy does just fine. Yes has NEVER failed to please me, in concert - except for one time, in the late 70s I think it was. One word: Buggles. Geoff Downes - eh, OK - good, even. Trevor Horn SUCKED.
@covenstead It has to be said, without Rabin, Yes wouldn't be touring like they do now. They would be long forgotten if it wasn't for him. And, BTW, stop being a pompous prick! Trevor Rabin is an amazing guitarist and songwriter. so there.
@MrGenosamuel1994 -- I said Trevor HORN, Fuckinstein. IDK if you're referring to any other comment I made here, but I can't imagine I said anything NEGATIVE about Trevor RABIN, considering that I think he's one of the best guitarists in the world. I don't need an "education" about Yes. I've been a huge fan, from DAY ONE. and have seen them countless times. Yes - enlisting Rabin was a brilliant move. Yes could have toured again anytime they wanted to, though - with or without him, cockhound.
still a great band, but without Jon Anderson it's not the same. I couldn't see them live again. As far as who could retain their voice after 70, check Johnny Maestro and Tony Bennett for starters. They both amazed me. Johnny Maestro sadly passed this past month. RIP.
As always this song is simply beautiful. And I'm stunned by Benoit David's voice! Jon is not replaceable, but Benoit truly does this justice. Steve Howe, still magic. :-)
I love this band but Jon means so much to me as an artist and inspirational figure, that I wasn' inspired to go see them this year. I'll probably get ripped for this, but IMO they aren't Yes anymore. Yeah, I know the show was pretty calloused in dealing with matters. Jon wrote a long and uncharacteristically angry blog at his Myspace last year, but has since pulled it.
Chris owns the name. Perhaps it's time considers what happens to Yes' when he can't play anymore.
i was going to see YES in Hershey in the summer but it was called off.... is this in another theater? can't be the star pavilion, that is outdoor.... and who is the reincarnation of jon anderson?

Benoit David sounds real close to Jon Anderson BUT what's missing is the mystique that Jon brings to the mix. He's close, but he's not Jon.

Incredible how Benoit David's voice is close to Jon Anderson's.

It's inevitable that Yes would have to use a different singer eventually. What 70 year old man would still be able to project these high notes?

You know, David is a excellent vocalist, but I am still really pissed about how they got rid of Jon like they did. Shame on them.
