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 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 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"...

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
