Yes (part 1 of 3) - Greek Theatre 9 July 2010 - Clips

Peter Frampton and Yes performed at the Greek Theatre in L.A. California. When I got to my seats (toward the back) I recognized Benoit David, the replacement singer for Jon Anderson, and we had a nice chat. As Frampton began to perform, Benoit was gone, and my buddy pulled out a surprise - front row tickets!
The sound is dreadful here - it's an iPhone 3GS, and we sat straight in front of the bass stacks. BMMMM! No complaints, though, about the seats.
The show started sluggishly, but it picked up after Steve Howe did his medley of masterpieces. CTTE was really great. The band was better than I anticipated, but not the same without Jon and Rick - though neither of them could be accused of poor performances this night. It just isn't the same.

I have always been a Frampton fan since the 1976 concert at Anaheim Stadium and sadly I did not remember Yes playing then although I am sure they did. I enjoyed Frampton at this concert as much as in 1976, but Yes in 2010 was AWESOME!!

Yes it's spelled Alan. Thank you.

Yes is Jon Anderson, Tony Kay, Travor Rabin, Chris Squire, Allen White. Argue all you want. Best line up. Greatest songs. Period.... Sorry to all the hippies I offended. Not. Hope you're feeling well Jon... They need you bad.

You can see Trevor and Steve do not get on well. Their body language says it all .

Its mock Yes , I feel sorry for Oliver Wakeman , brought in to play his father , such a shame just to keep Chris happy , shouldnt have put all his royalties up his nose !

@michaeldspencer i love jon but this guy did just fine i was there i enjoyed it very much no complaints and jon isnt just the only important member what about howe and squire

Hmmm. ... maybe I should accept the fact that Yes is basically over with. This seems phoned in in the biggest way. It doesn't sound like Yes wants to 'own' the performance.

the rolling stones without mick jagger singing are not the rolling stones. i guess chris squire has naming rights over jon, because this yes tribute show should no way on gods green earth be called "YES" without jon singing with the band. and all this time i thought the jon was "co-founder". way to screw over the guy you found the band with, chris! did you hear the news? HE WANTS TO SING WITH YOU GUYS. LET HIM COME BACK YOU DICK.

Is this a coverband? Rather good but Yes needs Anderson or no Yes...

[michaeldspencer]

Yes without Jon Anderson is just a cover band.

They sound good for me. I'm 48 yr. old. They look so ancient, but the music's still young and fresh. Forever unbeatable!
