Apparently Yes had a performance earlier this late evening that was broadcasted through Yahoo live! Shocked

This kind of event is rare because prog bands don't come out here and they are hardly mentioned alongside crap like T-Swifty or KISS

You can see the show from last night now.

saw the first hour---and you can see it today as rdtprog said on the Yahoo page---It was pretty good---the guys still have something considering how old they are---Davidson means well but his voice still gets on my nerves as it sounds very falsetto--or put on--the way we would all sound if we were trying to sing like ANderson---not relaxed and normal like the great Jon Anderson voice. Anderson has a voice in a high register but it's natural and not shrill, (at least most of the time lol). Strangely in the new song, The Game---where Davidson has to sing in a lower register he sounds decent. But as Howe said, you can dream of any version of Yes you want but this is the one that is putting in the work and showing up.

Hey these guys are still Yes! Jon Davidson sounded as good as Jon Anderson on most songs.....if not better. Steve Howe is still a wet rag as always lol. Chris Squire lost a lot of weight from when I saw Yes last year and he was nice as always when I met him after the show.
