The unbelievable thing here is the hate comments form many of the fans. Objectively, is not that bad. Would it had been better with Jon singing? Yes, but given the fact that he is not the current singer, it is not that bad. The tempo is a bit slower but the playing sounds great and Rick's son does a fantastic job at the keyboards. Even Jon had his nights when things didn't go well at all but, no one complains about that. Is it about the music?

unwatchable, terrible, brutal, joke, farce, I can't believe they have carried on with this disaster since 2008.

@yesshows100 , "this disaster" is how they make their living. Its not like they can quit tomorrow and go back to an office or anything like that. I don't want to sound like Geoff Downs but I definitely think they need for some people to cut them some slack. Business is business. Jon Anderson has already moved on but many fans haven't. I think it is more of an emotional thing than anything. No one likes to watch their favourite  family divorce.

OUCH.That video hurts. Sadly, it' appears to be time to put the gloves away.

@yesshows100 agreed the new yes album should be called yessucks

[Shepardwong1]

Unwatchable and Unlistenable.

Really man, be real..it's a terrible version...

[MrYeshead]

This is a disaster.. not the expertise I am familiar with in listening to Yes. If.. Peter Banks, Tony Kaye and Oliver Wakeman were replaced.. why can Benoit not be excused? I supported Benoit when he first joined the band as a temp, but the future of Yes can not rely on his voice.

This sounds like shit. But i went to a Yes concert in 2010 and i tell u : They fuckin rocked. That exact lineup.

[mootbooxle]

This does not suck! You can't possibly compare the performance of any "dinosaur" band still touring to that of their heyday. That's unrealistic and stupid. I'm sure that when Yes made CTTE they never once had the thought "Wonder if we'll still be able to pull these songs off when we're 60?" They still do a pretty respectable job I think!

[VUPdingCLICK]

we can never go back to the 70's 'classic' yes.....but come on - there's nothing wrong with live at lyon/or.....fly from here.some of the comments are a bit harsh! .....(the most horrible line-up - was the 80's 'pop' band,yes)surely?

I would rather have the unorthodox video. I prefer the information to not understanding the situation of Yes. I saw Jon Anderson perform solo at one venue last year. Jon Anderson forgot some lyrics to several songs but his adoring fans loved to tell him the lyrics from the audience's seats.
