Jon was outstanding last night! He sounded great and put on an awesome show. Only hope he will rejoin YES! He looks and sounds great and you would never know he was sick last year. Hope he stays health and YES reunites and produces a new album folllowed with a tour.
i love this guy! his spirit, his beauty and his voice! jon was raw and real in this performance.. connecting with all of us in the audience who know and love him. we have missed him..his presence and his overflowing love..his uniqueness and raw talent. wherever he is, i will go and i will always support him! he played his acoustic guitar lovingly, as well and the piano and other instruments, but best of all, it was just him, inspired, ...singing and playing to the fans who love him.
Without Jon Anderson there is no yes! Simply just with his beautiful voice, lyrics, melodies and intensely positive vibe and love you have a very blessed event and experience and that is the the total foundation of Yes. All the chops in the world can't make up for that. I had tears in my eyes all night feeling the great love and positive energy Jon puts out! Truly a blessed event! Thank you Jon! Thank you God!
An magical evening with Jon. I wish I could do it all over again.
It's hard to believe at times that this man is 65 years young! His voice was still amazing. He looked quite fit and happy, despite having had acute respiratory failure 2 years ago. He is now quite accomplished on the guitar. I believe he is just a beautiful person with an amazing voice!
Love seeing Jon when ever he performs. It is always tear jerking taking me back to so so many good times. . .
Wow, This was a truly amazing evening. I mean, "To The Runner" from Olias Of Sunhillow, that was incredible. His voice is in top form, singing better than ever. The selecttion of pieces was amazing spanning his entire career. Jon Anderson is truly a wonderous story. Hope he comes around again soon.
Jon Anderson show was excellent, even though it was all acoustic, with no other musicians playing along. I still enjoyed it.
The wait is over. It has been 3 long years since Jon Anderson played BB King's in NYC. I know because I was there then too. And last night, oh, last night! Jon Aderson showed us all that with the love and care of his family, and listening to his doctor's orders to take a hiatus from touring, he is healthy and sounding fantastic again. Armed with just a guitar, keyboard & ukelelee, Jon shared with his audiences one of the most intimate concerts in a lifetime. From his reggae version of "Time and a word", to memories of Vangelis and his "Find my way home", even Olias' "To The Runner", Jon stood & delivered. For 2 hours to a packed house, he made his fans forget about Yes and remember that he is the voice within.
Who needs YES when you have the Voice . Mr.Anderson was on top of the World. Jon performed a great mix of past works. His voice sounded and was supurb. Jon was also moved to great emotion after performing one of his numbers and the crowd gave a standing O for quite some time and very well deserved. 5 stars plus the whole set. Well worth the wait. Now if you want to see a great cover band then go see Yes. Without Jon Anderson they are'nt any better then a side act. Go see Peter Frampton and leave afterwards because that is the show. He is still great and getting better, well worth your time. Only complaint was being forced to show up 3 hours before show time just to get seats and forced into a 2 drink min and having to buy sub par food before the show. Very bad practice on BB Kings Club. May not go back there because of such policy. Hey BB number the seats and sell additional standing room for those to want to drink. For the rest of us our time is important. Would like to just see the show. And if we want food or drink then thats our decition.Litghin up on the policy
What a intimate, beautiful evening of music. I was lucky and got the third able on the floor, dead center. I was surprised to see only a microphone, guitar and a keyboard set up on the stage. I thought Jon was going to be backed by a full band. Jon walked onstage to huge applause. If you are a fan, you know about his health problems the last couple of years, but I was still a little shocked at how thin and seemingly frail he looked. But once he picked up the guitar all that went away. His voice was strong and as beautiful as ever, and he was in great spirits. He sang a lot of Yes material, only it was different hearing him play those songs on guitar. It was a nice mix of Yes music, solo material and some new songs. He played guitar, ukelele, and a third string instrument that I don't know it's name. After a few songs, I realized he was doing this show solo. About 3/4 through, he moved to the keyboard and did a beautiful medley of some classic Yes, combining Close to the Edge with The Revealing Science of God. At one point, the audience cheered loud and long, stopping the show, and Jon seemed really touched. He played for and hour and a half, and seemed tired at the end. To see this great artist and man in this type of setting was an amazing experience. If he plays near you, this is a must see performance. God Bless you Jon, stay healthy and thank you for so many years of amazing music.
his voice is still there,and he also looks good not a tremendous accoustic fan but this show was right there very touching moments,great song selection wish he played more
Unbelievable show...sounded great...truly the best solo show I have ever attended.
Great show. Great song selection. Jon Anderson is back. His voice was as strong as ever.
It was absolutely wonderful seeing Jon Anderson. He has not been in NY for two years due to illness and it was fantastic seeinghim again...healthy, in good spirits and sounding like the voice of an Angel at BB Kings. It was "bare bones" Jon and his voice was impeccable!!!!! All I can say is..."Jon.......please come back to New York soon!!!!!!!
Jon Anderson was prolific and gave a great, heartfelt performance at B.B. King. The crowd responded accordingly. It's obvious he was missed and we are all thrilled to have him well and singing strong again.
I saw my favorite singer of all time last night and he did not disappoint me. Also the fans were awesome to show there love of this man. I got inside this venue a little before 8 pm. The taped sounds of birds singing came on at 8 pm and Jon took the stage around 8:15 after being drawn to the stage by the fans applause. I loved every song he performed this night. His voice sounded great just like we all remember. Also his playing the instruments were right on spot. I saw no mistakes during the show. He played over 20 songs with no break inbetween. His voice is one of the most clearest purest sounding voices I have ever heard performed live. I could sit and listen to this man sing all night. I sure hope he comes out with a new album with all these great new songs soon so I can listen to them over and over again. My hats off to his wife Jane and his family and doctors for taking such good care of this truely special man. I hope to see Jon perform on stage for many years to come.
Great show - played all of the songs that a Yes fan could possibbly hope to hear and more. He sounded great. He was funny, engaged the crowd in between songs, and may have had more fun than we did. The stripped down, acoustic versions of the Yes songs were great. He played for 90 minutes straight and played portions of over 25 songs. I have seen Yes at the Garden and at Beacon about 10 times combined. This show ranked up with all of them. It's a shame the band isn't touring together and I am a huge fan of Squire, Howe, White, Wakeman, etc., but he is the voice and he was great. If he was playing again tonight, I would go again.
Really special performance and surprisingly good crowd. NY was a great show! Other longtime Yes fans seemed to really love it as well. Thank you Jon, please come back!!!
NOt only was his voice as amazing as ever but he played the songs on a few different guitars and even played the keyboards. And you just wanna hug the guy. YES should be ashamed at the way the handled Jons illness. YES can have their clone but I will never see YES again without JOn singing. And last night what I witnessed was beyond words that could do him any justice. Bless you Jon anderson
