jon anderson msnbc part 1

[nickthestripper28]

I'm from Poland and discovered Yes in my teens, listening to Polish Radio Two which was presenting the Yes discography in around 1990. I could't believe a male lead singer could sing in such a soft, angelic, ethereal voice. I was hypnotized from the first sounds of "Beyond and Before" on the first Yes record to some of the later stuff on Tormato. Although I've admired lots of bands since then, Yes have always been a class of their own. And if there's one man I'm in love with, it's Jon Anderson.

[etabone1]

so intimate and magical. even the mistake was perfect!!!!

[paulkleijweg]

Just wonderfull ...gotta love Jon .

[jeannelovesjon1]

I love how he always sends love to his wife! How fantastic!

[jeannelovesjon1]

@whiterobin If he did all that stuff more power to him! He sounds fantastic!!!!!

[prry45]

Boy lots of judging going on...this man is a kind, warm hearted, loving man, loves his fans, reaches out weekly on Facebook just to connect, shares his creative spririt and energies with us still, after 40 years. You young folks -if your lucky, youll make it to your 60's and than you can look back and think about all the stuff you did in your youth, or what your rock idols have done...than lets see what you think.

[jeannelovesjon1]

@prry45 You are so right. Music today is garbage compared to the beautiful music of Yes and the so talented Jon Anderson!!!!!!!!!

[yesiammark]

What a great video...sorry i misssed the show when it aired live. Truly a talented musician who also has a good sense of music's historical signifance. Keep playing Jon...we miss you in Yes!

[bigua1428]

Hey Walkclips Jon anderson RIP ¡¡¡¡ are you under medication ?????? or stupid or what ?

[fhadame]

What a wounderful soul Jon is! thanks for showing this

[Sageking4]

Experimenting with drugs at a young age is okay. However, smoking cigarettes at any time is unforgivable. Wow, this interview reminds me of when jon was promoting 3 Ships and came on Lettermen only as a tambourine player for a bluesman. Kind of stupid. No, really stupid! And, please. Starship Trooper an CTTE died out 40 years ago. If Yes can't do anything noteworthy now then just leave the industry. I don't want to hear another Yes retrospective dvd.

[miguelbaptista]

Yes leave the industry ?

please, leave the internet.

[peterman7000]

Yeah Jon is clean like a dumpster.

He chain smoked during the recording of Going for the One. Chain smoked pot.

Awaken is a mary jane induced opus.

[majcm58]

Very nice....Steve would be proud.

We love you Jon....

[eennymo]

I MISS JON.... :0(

[wakclips]

RIP Jon!

[hellmuth26]

psychedelics don't count. i think he meant coke/heroin/alcohol.

[eennymo]

Jon's a riot! They need to do a reality show on him! :0D

[dirkdoggler]

Yaa- He seems like a pretty down-to-earth dude and what a cool music program for the kids!

[Aspartamebraintumor]

Wow, this is terrible... Awesome singing about peace and you see shit about suicide bombers in Iraq on the scroller... hasn't the world learned anything from Jon Andersons lyrics?

[dirkdoggler]

Apparently not enough- But then again I don't think that US foreign policy and mass-media filtering of the coverage ACTUALLY reflects most peoples' opinions! I hope...

[starkmeister2]

wow this guy seems really cool

[Blackshayde]

Jon's one of the only rock guys that never ever touched drugs. In fact he's a vegetarian. That's why he looks so good.

[hiltonml1]

this is incredibly cool, when was this? he is so funny and personable. is there anything musically that jon has not done or cannot do? a true example of an artist that has grown over the years and continues to bring something new and different to the table while always being himself. an angel on earth.

[markjtapply]

Two words "ROCK STAR"

[mageestout]

Some of the most brilliant lyrics Jon has sung!! Actually Jon IS the man and YES is the best. Jon may not be from our planet but I'm glad he's on our planet. It makes it a much better place.

[barsolo123]

How is yes NOT in the rock and roll hall of fame?

[LUDWIGPARIS]

@barsolo123

For the same reasons Rush still isn't.

[sweetjaneb]

Is Jon doing the "whooos" to do a sound check on his voice since it's early am???

Or is he stoned??

[GoodnightKiller]

You obviously know nothing about Jon and his quirkiness.

[7syn]

This is realy great,

I didn't thought that it's so good.

Also Jons voice is fantastic!

The Clap at the end is a great idea.

Thanks for the vid!!

[eennymo]

Just love to see young kids play Yessongs! SOO

COOL! Jon's a great teacher, I'm sure.

[mlw2005]

Very good.  Goofy Jon. :)

[dspecht40]

After all these years YESSONGS still kick ass... Man, the memorys these tunes bring back make my eyes water.

[lovemusicsomuch]

OH. MY. GOD. WHEN did this happen? WHY do I keep missing these things? I have no idea.

[chbidude]

WOW! Amazing! Where's that school?!

[Tamalinps]

ZACH U FREAKIN' ROCK!!!!

[roromx]

Awesome!
