Thanks Martin @port perran , here are The Band Geeks before Jon adopted them, good or what...


Love the singer Ann Marie.

Here's a band that I found interesting in the 90s.
If you like a strong baseline this might be for you although sound quality on the live video isn't brilliant.

Thanks Tim @Moonglum.
I've never heard of Geeks before but that's a very good rendition of one of my favourite Yes songs even if I now find Jon Anderson's voice a tad irritating.

I bought TFTO back in the day but never really got into it @Newportnobby although I quite like Nous Sommes de Soleil.
I rather lost interest in Yes after that. I still think that Time and a Word, Yes Album and Fragile were their best albums with Close to the Edge ok in parts.

Glad you liked Iron Butterfly @Moonglum although  maybe it's an acquired taste

I am afraid that Yes's TFTO never really gelled with me Mick @Newportnobby . The follow up "Relayer" was much more focussed and very different but not on par with earlier works, after that I lost interest until "90125" and then lost interest again...

Martin @port perran , that's the first time I have heard Iron Butterfly's "In A Gadda Da Vida", I like it.

Have you heard this...


The Band Geeks are a sort of tribute band and Jon seems to like them and adopted them!

A bit of 'Yes' My 2 CD set hasn't got this extended intro.
Much though I like the album the first disc with tracks 1 & 2 gets played the most
The rest can be a bit of a racket if you're not in the mood for it

What a delightful old fella, and an inspiration to us - seek ye happiness where ye can!

A marvellous little video which I enjoyed immensely.

Well that was an absolute delight, and touches on the peace and calm that comes with our wonderful hobby (though I think hobby might be too tame a word for many of us!). I think thats how my house would end up if I were single!

Another wonderful coincidence (despite also being a Welshman like this tremendous gentleman) is that at 2:33 there is a carriage clock on the mantle, and as I sat here watching the clip, I'm looking at its clone (my Mothers brought with me from Wales) on my mantlepiece too!

My day has been immeasurably brightened!  Thanks so much for sharing this!
