First, a quick note from our eyewitness: “The treat was seeing these 14, 15, 16-year-old kids playing the hell out of Yes songs with Jon Anderson. Sometimes Jon would break and they’d keep ripping through Yes songs. They rotated so that no kid played on every song, and there were a lot of amazing little guitar players, the majority of them were female! Absolutely amazing! This Paul Green Rock School guy deserves a lot of credit.”

Newman took this cool video of Your Move:

And because we like you, here’s a bonus clip of Yours Is No Disgrace from the Keswick Theater on 2/15/07 (a more smokin’ performance).

It’s amazing, no matter how old Anderson gets, he still sounds like a trite slapstick character that someone just kicked right in the junk. I love it.
Here are three more of Newman’s amateur pics:

Shuttin’r down for the evening…

Isn’t Jon Anderson still the front-man of Yes? I saw them a few summers ago.
Sadly, that’s true.
Each show was more amazing than the last. Jon Anderson is not only one of the most talented people, but one of the most genuine people I have ever met. He seemed to be enjoying playing with the kids as much as they did playing with him. There will be much more and better quality video from these shows hitting YouTube tonight.
Thanks, BD2112…if possible, can you throw me a heads up at ace@glidemagazine.com? Thanks.
