The crowds are small because they are a covers band playing the big Vegas hotels with no cover charge. Granted one of the best you will ever see but people fundamentaly don't respect covers bands with the exception of the super tribute bands like the Australian Pink Floyd. Bands like YBR would not work in Europe.They would need to be a full on tribute to just one band and look identical to the original to be taken seriously. Their sound is superb though. Very talented guys.

Not sure what your opinion of "small" is, but at any given show there are between 200-500 people, 3 times per week. You won't see many any the video because the room is large with plenty of seating/tables, all of which would be behind the videographer's point of view. And we're really not a dance band, hence the absence of people on the dance floor.

Note for Note perfection. Just doesnt get any better than this. I plan my trips to Vegas around these guys bein' in town.

[kodiak1966]

Unbeleivable talent..........Super cover band !

[bigwo56]

DAMN!! you guys ROCK!!!

[baseball12ification]

@woundedhorse but lets not get crazy, not as good as rush, sorry, the reality "dealer" has come back and its asking you to come get a dose!

[baseball12ification]

excellent, audio, vocals, all of it, bass, guitar, drums, like someone said, to cover the "uncoverable", just dont bother listening to " test for echo" the other cover band, they need to practice a little bit id say, anyway, great job!

[woundedhorse]

How to cover the uncoverable. Incredible. As good as Rush and he sounds like Geccy.

[MINUTEMANHUNTER]

Wow thanks golferal!,thanks for clearing my doubt, he's sure been Gifted with that Great voice he has, looking forward to see these guys soon this year!

[golferal]

@MINUTEMANHUNTER I've seen them at least a dozen times and can almost guarantee Brody (the singer) isn't using any electronic wizardry to change his voice, other than reverb/ chorus/ delay that original artists might have used. This is one of the most talented bands there is, period.

[Zandreho]

lol the singer looks like Morten Harket from Aha

@ybrband I don't normally comment, but I just had to say something. I worked at boulder station as a dealer. The line to the railhead stretched down the center of the pit. People lined up to see them. I was off work on a Saturday and came up there to see them. Them playing was one of the things I loved about being near the Railhead. They are better than just a tribute band. A tribute band replicates ONE band. They are near perfect on the vast majority of their songs. YBR Rocks! Stop hating

[MINUTEMANHUNTER]

Excelent Band! i believe the singer's using some kind of voicer machine that matches allmost any kind of voice, he really sounds much alike in every tune they do, which's pretty neat and that's great, if not, he's an incredible imitaror, you have been "Gifted" thumbs up, you really ROCK dude!!! really looking forward to see you guys!!
