I’m pretty sure Davison is the one playing bass despite the comment claiming he is singing and playing guitar.

Well, I guess I could tell my Andy Summers’ story, again, then.
I tried to see all my guitar heroes. Andy was a pretty big deal, as were The Police( Had a customer whose first band as a kid was with Miles Copeland. ). He had great chord work.

So I go to see Andy’s jazz trio in this little club in d.c.. He was the last to arrive, I was there early, and he was not happy. He showed up to his original booked hotel late, and they gave away his room. Drummer had the flu or something, but I swear he might have been the best drummer I have ever heard and seen perform.

Small club and I go upstairs to take a leak. Two urinals, and who walks up next to me but Andy himself. As a general rule, unless it’s someone you work with there is no talking. But Andy us in a bad mood, I try to be a jerk and kind of funny, and I think to myself, this will never happen, again, unless I bump into Andy, again, somewhere. It has to just be a few words. So I turn my head to look at Andy’s face, and say, “I am excited to be here. “!
Andy looked at me, and shook his head. I was just trying to cheer him up, a bit. Andy had been a funny guy back in the day, but became kind of a bitter wanker when he got older. Anyhows, he thought he was rid of me but my seat was right up front with a buddy and his wife.

That guy stage right with the guitar has Jon’s shoulder and arms I am thinking. Will have to read the YouTube comments.

Oh dear, Frumee. Are you callin' Sue Vienneau in the comments section a liar? 😉 From the tribute band Infinity. Big in Ontario round the mid eighties.

He sounds a lot more like Sting than he does Jon Anderson.

Which begs the question, have you ever heard Jon Anderson play bass guitar before? ;-)

[PhaseDance]

I find it hard to believe he's been in Yes since 2102 ...

But freeze it when guitar kid is in profile and compare to Davison and the noses don’t actually match up very well. The kid has a straight nose while Davison has a curve. Maybe he was in a car wreck, bar fight or something?

He does on Olias, I think...

JD sounds a much better singer when he sings an octave down like here.

[Davy]

Many of us have said that for years. And with Benoit, you could really hear it, he could hit the high notes but with no power whatsoever, he was really straining.
