Jon with Stewart Copeland covering The Police’s, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. JD has a knack for sometimes bringing a cruise ship vibe to music he covers by other artists…..I include classic Yes music in that take. It’s like the life and drive is taken out of the song. He does recoup towards the end, gotta give him that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op6tjtXp87Y

I just posted him and Chevy Metal doing Owner of a Lonely Heart in the Hawkins tribute thread. I thought he did a brilliant job there.👍 1Comment

I think you're a bit harsh. Yes in the first verse he was a little pitchy, but for fuck sake, they probably rehearsed the song four times if that and emotions probably play a role. The man is paying tribute to a childhood friend he lost. I'm fine with Davison not being to your liking in general, but to pick this occasion to vent your criticism once more I find a bit distasteful. I think you're a great guy Jay, but come on.....

I enjoyed this. Such a cool thing to see so many greats all come together and jam together for Taylor. I do see what you mean Jay about his voice, it seems in any band it just has a lighter softer quality. There's no Anderson rasp or Sting grit, it's just very soft sounding. I liked a few songs on H&E where he and Squire sounded good together, but I find myself not getting into his voice by itself. I can dig Anderson, Squire, Horn, Benoit, or Stings voice by itself though. But for what this was, he sang it well and I enjoyed it for what it is... Especially seeing him jam with the Foo's and Stewart Copeland, how cool is that !??! I think Taylor would have loved it
Maybe Yes should do a medley of "Every Little Thing" and "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"...👍 2Comment

Juano did a great job on The Police cover. I'm sure his friend was looking down from heaven with a big smile."A lot of the heavier conversations I was having with Chris toward the end were about his desire for this thing to go forward. He kept reiterating that to me. [...] He kept telling me, 'No matter what happens, Yes needs to continue moving forward and make great music. So promise me that that's something you want to do.'. And I have to keep making music. It's just what I do. [...] I'm a fan of the band and I want to see it thrive and that means new music." -Billy Sherwood👍 1Comment

THE PROFESSOR OF ROCK
recently talked about The Police's Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. How different people had covered it. Dido. Elvis Costello. Afghan Wigs. And at the Taylor Hawkins Memorial Concert with the Foo Fighters, John Theodore and Stewart Copeland. And. And. And?
He even showed a snippet of vision from the concert. There was Juano singin' away. Sorry Prof. Never mind the cute lisp.... More research. More research!!! 🤯
Will let him know what I think on FB 😡
