Jon Anderson - I Hear You Now

[dwilmer7]

is that the sax player from supertramp?

[TheGatesofDelirium]

@dwilmer7 This is the beloved Dick Morrissey.

[07boudicca]

Just love it...

Temón y pico!. El gran despliegue compositivo de Vangelis y la impresionante interpretación de John Anderson. Aunque Vangelis no estuvo en este show.

[ianzxcvb]

Thanks very much for posting this - love all four of the Jon and Vangelis albums - great to see live.

The guitar sounds a bit like Steve Howe's slide all over Parallels, et al! This is good stuff, thank you!

[trendydelquendy]

@whiterobin - Ooh, good point. I love Yes, but often after a fabulous passage of music I have to 'close my ears' for an up-and-down-the-scales bit. I think it's testament to Anderson's input that he wrote some brilliant Yes songs (Yessongs?) on guitar which were 'Yessed-up' by the band. His simple acoustic versions of "Owner" and "Roundabout" are great - he's on some US daytime TV show doing them somewhere....

[studentjohn36]

But Yes, particularly with Anderson's input, produced the really important large structures which were pieces of music in and of themselves, even if you took the singing out of it. This piece remains at a constant tempo throughout, which is valid, but it was never what Yes was about.

[DreamerEasy831]

Truly majestic.....I have goose bumps, really!

[thebeautifulsdays]

Que voz maravilhosa!!! Não dá para cansar de ouvir...

[deepspacer]

What an incredible voice Jon has,seems very unique.Thanks for sharing that one

[garycronk7]

wow! it's videos like this that make youtube the coolest technology on the planet. i would loved to have been at this concert. jon has created so much great music. in an interview he said sometimes he puts words together just because he loves they way they sound together. thiis is such a great song and looks to be a great line up of band mates. they are not ABWH, but still a great band. thanks for sharing this clip.

[drkam6]

This is from the Animation tour.

[MoodMan35]

I have never watch this clip with Jon Anderson before , but I think the others must be Bruford, Wakeman and Howe playing together with Jon if I not mistake here :D I bought a cassette/tape for 18 years ago with them :D Some of the songs on that tape is Fist of fire and Brother of mine :DThe picture on that tape is some eagles on it and their nests :D

[yesmuseum]

This is Jon on his solo tour in 1981 (?). At that point, he wasn't working with any of the Yes members. ABWH came out in 1989.

incredible!!

[Joker133706]

Je taimes Jon Anderson N1

[Lengsel7]

Nice song.

[Sakkinaama]

This is from a Finnish broadcast. The text on top 0:48 is finnish equivalent for "I hear you now".

[TheGatesofDelirium]

Thank you very much for the input.

[Joker133706]

L'une des meilleures voix jamais avoir existé! Jon anderson restera toujour le meilleure musicien sur la planêt terre,.

[sinfoneura]

Esta canción es de Jon e iba a ir en el disco de Yes que iba a salir el 79 pero se disolvieron y ahi quedo la song.

[yvanparriba]

where is vangelis?

[CLASSICALJAJ]

One of the best voices ever to have existed !

[1jmx]

i saw them in london at the rainbow theatre in the 80's they were great then, still great today

[maheshino]

Takes me back to my school days- Witteklip Secondary,Chats,Dbn,RSA and.. 5 fm. How I miss SA. GOOD TUNE

[LostGentlemen]

nice song? great song!

a shame ther doesnt seem to be a better version...

[madmomentsgo]

nice song.

[subatomicllove]

I love SHORT STORIES album !

[jmcquown]

Great old video and fantastic rendition of the song sans Vangelis. Is it just me or does Jon appear uncomfortable without something in his right hand? Tamborine or other percussion instrument, or with both hands obviously, a guitar. It's like he doesn't know what to do with that right hand. Not that he was ever much prone to gesturing :)

[jmcquown]

Meant to rate this Great +5 or better :) Slip of the fingers. I really do love this version of the song!

[Quantanthead]

I never thought I'd see a live version of this song. I heard the song as a kid when it first came out. Bought the cassette and still have it. Great video. Thanks.

[sinfoneura]

the voice is natural..not falsetto... NATURAL ABSOLUTLY natural absolutly

[rolotronic]

Where are Vangelis?!

[Suffko]

one of the best pop songs EVER written

[chezzeeX]

I have the original 7"single of this.I bought it by chance in a shop,not knowing it was this song.I love the song and was well pleased.

[saurian11]

Amazing! Too bad there's no footage of the song "Song of Seven", which they did during this short tour.

[thiagotecnico]

Love this song!

[NYCMikeC1234]

Beautiful song and voice.

[kleijweg]

Simply amazing that Jon Anderson is STILL rocking today . There are some great life dvd's from Yes in from the near past ! Also a solo dvd check them out .

[yeshead]

This isn't the Animation tour. It's the 1980 Song of Seven Tour and the show here was filmed in Germany I believe. The band is: Dick Morrissey (sax and flute), Joe Patridge (guitar), Ronnie Leahy (keys), Chris Rainbow (backing vocals and keys), Barry De Souza (drums), John Giblin (bass) and Morris Pert (percussion), plus another guitar player I think -- quite a big group and a money-losing album and tour for Atlantic Records. No wonder they dropped Jon and Yes.

[lawbeat3]

Great to see. I've become a youtube addict finding all this great footage I've never seen before. Never thought I'd see any footage of Jon from his late 70's early 80's work. Wish there was more details about when/where, etc.

[UnklRudi]

Some of his most beautiful material was with Vengelis. A Play Within A Play, I'll Find My Way Home.... so much. Where was this filmed?

[beckenbauers]

really nice song, but what an awful ear ring

[eennymo]

Love this song, love the voice, love the ear-ring.

[goodg9]

this man was truly amazing, falsetto, prog rock, jazz... an unsuccessful bid for the presidency... and look at that cool purple shirt.

[MudGoddessNik]

Moron!!!... Jon Anderson has never EVER sang in Falsetto... if you know anything about singing... falsesetto is for those who DO NOT have the NATURAL high range..like motown and disco singers... listen use your ear.. you might learn something...

[navitaadrian]

jon anderson y vangelis son los mejores tocadores de newage

[sweetjaneb]

CD is Best Of Jon & Vangelis

[lovemusicsomuch]

I have 2 questions tho: which concert is this? and there's a song Jon and Vangelis do, he sings "once we did love, how we chased a million stars and touched as only one can." I swear that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. what's the name of that song? and thank u for posting this :D

[lmt491]

Hi, the song you mentioned is called so long ago so clear, and it is the first song jon and vangelis did together from the album heaven and hell.

[HELIOSABIONI]

best of vangelis and anderson...i love it

[riverdance48]

pure magic

[oneradical]

What can I say, an extremly pleasant trip down to memory line. I can't believe how much this song touches me right now despite knowing it for such a long time, it still has that special magic thing, that caught me the time I heard it for the first time. One of my favorites of all times.

[lookingfortalent2007]

great song, even better live!

ain't the fat dude playing sax Vangelis??

[emesde]

No that's just a dude playing sax

[redrocketbear]

Jon Anderson and Yes RULE, The best band ever

[lovemusicsomuch]

thank you so much, well said...couldn't have said it better myself :D

[pelele1482]

UNA CANCIÓN EXTRAORDINARIA...

[YESTORMATO]
