Jon Anderson

Legendary front man for Yes and one of the musicians who created the genre. Called "the elfin shaman of prog" Anderson continually pushes the edge of composition and arrangement. His career spans decades (word to he site owners: you may want to update that photo), he has collaborated with just about every progressive musician in the genre and not a few outside of prog. He may also be the most well-loved front man in rock.

Jon Anderson can sing: he is equally comfortable and compelling with a full electric band, an orchestra, or alone with his collection of stringed instruments from around the world.

Fans have been awaiting this tour and collaboration with Ponty for a while. It promises to be - another - ground breaking musical moment for both Anderson and Ponty.

A soft delicate voice. Jon Anderson is gentle mix of Beatles melodies, the minor side of Velvet Underground, but an angel harmonic voice like The Beach Boys.

Acoustic or ukulele, whichever instrument Jon will perform with pure heart and soul, hitting every note perfectly.

He was former lead signer for progressive rock gods YES back in 1969. But now creeping 70, Jon is a solo performer, a pioneer for young musicians looking for inspiring chord sequences and voice filled harmonies.

Jon is a gentle giant, a colourful creature with a lot of history and experience which is generated in his live shows whenever, wherever he performs.

The ARW concert onstage was *great* - all performers were at the top of their game (though I am admittedly partial to Steve Howe's guitar work). I can't believe Jon Anderson sounded so wonderful after these many years.

However I was really disappointed with the audience around us at the Palms Casino in Vegas. I've been to plenty of concerts in my life but the number of belligerent drunks around me and my girlfriend was a real downer at such a nice venue. I'm not sure if every concert in Vegas is like this but I'll think twice about attending another one in Vegas.

It was a great show with Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman....Several songs were played from The Yes Album along with tunes from when Trevor was in the band including Lonely Heart. I was extremely impressed with the Goodyear Theater. The renovation was done well. I was in the balcony and I would say there isn't a bad seat in the house. The acoustics are very good and the Sound system was more than enough for the room to give good clear sound. I will see more show here

Fantastic show and set list. Everyone in the band was in top form and all seemed to have a great time. Very fortunate to attend the soundcheck and meet & greet afterwards and had a brief moment just to thank the band for touring and bringing their music to the world. Really hoping for a new album and another tour in the next few years.

Jon added a new dimension to his music with the multi-instrmentalists and vocalists in his band. The Yes songs seemed true to form and the original music was great. The show was planned effectively. It was a lot of fun.
