"THE QUAGMIRE OF LIFE"
The new multi-dimensional concept album by YES featurin' Jon and the Geeks. Tells the tale of a man who builds a time machine back to the Seventies. Available on Spotify and purple-coloured vinyl.

I doubt that fronting a generic "cover band" will sell tickets, unless he pre-releases set lists that are really appealing.Comment

I’m sure he’d love to tour with a band that can play like Yes but doesn’t expect to be paid like Yes…👍 6Comment

At least that's what I got from the album. It's a prog concept album, so, you know, it's, probably by design, not the easiest story to get an absolute bead on in terms of what the band was intending. They're fairly accessible online, though. They probably mentioned exactly what the intended meaning was- which may or may not be what I think it was.Last edited by downbyariver; 08-19-2022, 11:34 AM."A lot of the heavier conversations I was having with Chris toward the end were about his desire for this thing to go forward.

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 Band Geeks aren't a Yes cover band. They are a side project of several professional musicians, who do covers of lots of artists, including Yes.
And, dbar, it's "schizophrenic"!👍 4Comment

I'm really looing forward to the Band Geek Anderson tour (Richie stated on a podcast it's set for 2023). Those guys are all fantastic musicians. I'd rather see this than the Relayer tour. Big fan of Richie's work in Blue Oyster Cult since 2004 as well
How I get my Chris Squire Bass Sound -(if your a tech geek, this is pretty cool)
This is how I get a Chris Squire inspired bass tone using a Rickenbacker 4001 and a Line 6 Helix.The Helix presets can be found here...Rick-O-Sound:https://l...

He could easily be bitter and drown his sorrows.
So would see ABG if they came down here. To support Jon who has given me untold listenin' pleasure over the years.Comment
