Description
Jon Anderson & THE BAND GEEKS, whose meticulous performance and the originator’s singing voice have been highly praised by the originals. A superb video that reports on the latest tour that began before the new release has been decided to be released. This work was filmed at the “June 20, 2024 Hershey Performance”. This is a superb audience shot. The release of a new album with THE BAND GEEKS has also been announced, and John is gaining more and more attention. In order to get to know such a recent situation, let’s first take a bird’s-eye view of the steps since the launch of the new project on a schedule. 2023 April 14-May 16: North America #1 (12 performances) ←※ WESTBURY 2023 etc. ・July 9-August 9: Europe (11 performances) 2024 May 30-June 27: North America #2 (12 performances) ←★Here★ ・July 21-August 16: North America #3 (10 performances)《“TRUE” scheduled for release on August 23》 ・September 11-27: North America #3 (6 performances)This is the journey of John & THE BAND GEEKS that has been announced so far. Since the launch of the new project, we have been reporting the latest news with video gi such as “WESTBURY 2023” and “BALTIMORE 2023”. Since the fall, he has not appeared publicly because he has been spending his time on recording, but he resumed the tour at the end of May. The Hershey performance in this work was the 9th performance of the early “North America #2” concert. This work, which allows you to witness such a scene, is truly a superb view with “super” attached! At the opening scene, the audience stands up and blocks the view, which gives you a bad feeling, but as soon as everyone sits down, it suddenly turns into a superb view. The shooting position is looking straight ahead at the center of the stage, which is the exact center as if it was measured with a ruler. Another important point is the height of the viewpoint. It is almost the same line of sight as the members on stage, and it feels like they are staring directly at John Anderson in the center of the front. Moreover, it is super close-up from that viewpoint. All the front customers are framed out from the bottom of the screen, as if they are filming a rehearsal without an audience with a camera set up at the venue (there is no boredom as the cheers are picked up). Although it is not the front row, the feeling of monopolizing the full show is intense. The full show depicted in such beautiful images is similar to last year’s but is different. In fact, new songs from the new work “TRUE” are also being shown. Let’s organize the set contents here. New songs (3 songs): Shine On/Thank God/True Messenger YES Classics Third Album: Yours Is No Disgrace/Perpetual Changea/I’ve Seen All Good People/Starship Trooper/Fragile: Heart Of The Sunrise/Roundabout/Crisis: Close To The Edge/And You And I/Other: Owner Of A Lonely Heart/Awaken … and so on. A preview clip of “Soon” has already been released, but for the live performance, new songs will be selected instead of covers. This is also extremely well done. Featuring catchy melodies and symphonic chorus work, the detailed drumming and light driving feel of the bass are the very essence of YES in their golden age. None of the three songs featured are masterpieces, but they are more than enough to build up expectations. Another highlight of this album is “Close To The Edge”. As always, they show off their amazing performance, but for some reason John suddenly loses track of the progress and the ensemble suddenly collapses. He immediately tries to start over, but it doesn’t work, so he checks the beginning again and again. However, the atmosphere is peaceful during that time, and after a successful restart, it’s as ironclad as ever. It’s more of a fun and unusual scene than a nerve-wracking one. Last year, Jon Anderson & THE BAND GEEKS caused a stir and rave reviews. This is a CD that allows you to fully experience the latest tour, which shows off the true value of the new project, with super-breathtaking footage. A masterpiece of a video that makes you look forward to the upcoming new album. The latest video of the new project, which is receiving rave reviews for its performance skills that are as good as the original, has been released. You can enjoy the full show with a spectacular view of John facing him head-on. Hershey Theatre, Hershey, PA, USA 20th June 2024 AMAZING SHOT!!! 1. Firebird Suite 2. Yours Is No Disgrace 3.
