Without all these people making noice etc (well why not, its a concert) Its sounds erie dark, beautiful and simply amazing, just Jon ages later with his guitar, incredible man,
Jon Anderson IS Yes, period! He was/is the most brilliant lyricist/writer ever, next to Shakespere - NO one comes close to the depth of thought and masterful use of the English language as Jon Anderson.
HOWEVER, this is the music BUSINESS (for PROFIT) - The members are WORKING TO EARN A LIVING - Hence the show business saying, "The show must go on!" The replacement singer NAILS Jon's voice very well! Without their racks of Eventide Harmonizers and vocal processing the vocals are poor!
Just saw Jon in Edmonton, Canada (Nov. 7, 2009) and he said he was in the hospital before the show here (!) He sounded great but he's still not feeling well and had to cut the show short to about an hour. Sending beaucoup de positive energy to Jon : )
Anderson has said that he does'nt need to work anymore and as Squire did'nt consult him about replacing him with a new vocalist in Yes I think it is unlikely that he will perform with Yes again. To be honest I have seen them several times, most recently at Hammersmith on the 35th anniversary tour, much as I like Yes age has caught up with Rick and Jon, best remember the good times.
The currect situation of Yes is a disgrace. Its ridiculous. A cover guy touring with "Yes" because, Jon got "sick". At the same time Jon is performing on a solo tour almost it next town. Complete disgrace. I love Yes so much but I'm sorry to say with all honesty that I hope the band would die off if it will continue like this for any longer.
Yeah he sounds kinda' like him, but for my fifty bucks, they'd better have Jon up there singing. They should have waited for him, he's not dead you know!
Sounds great considering the respiratory failure he had THAT YEAR.

He should've played the solos...and all of the other instruments. That was funny at the end.
