Jon Anderson/FL,USA 2019

Jon Anderson is counting down the days until the release of his first solo album in eight years, “1000 HANDS: CHAPTER ONE.” A video recording of his latest solo concert has been decided to be released. This video is also included in “GARDEN ROCKS 2019)”, but since it is so wonderful that we want as many people as possible to experience it, we have decided to release the video only. This work includes “March 11th + 12th, 2019 Epcot performance”. This is the best audience shot when participating in the music event “GARDEN ROCKS 2019” in Orlando. Speaking of John, I’m curious about YES Featuring ARW, but their 50th anniversary tour ended in September last year. It has been announced that in 2019, each member will pursue solo activities, and that they will restart in 2020 or later. It’s a shame that ARW’s show has been canceled as it was great, but instead we received news of the release of “1000 HANDS: CHAPTER ONE”. In addition to the album, they also announced a tour at the same time. This work is the first report of such a latest solo tour. First, let’s take a look at John’s current status based on his 2019 schedule. ・March 11th + 12th: Orlando (6 performances) ←★Coco★《“1000 HANDS: CHAPTER ONE” released on March 31st》 ・March 29th – April 30th: North America (19 performances) ・5 August 6th-12th: North America (5 performances) August 8th: Detroit These are the dates announced so far. The tour will begin at the same time as the release of the solo album, but “GARDEN ROCKS” was a warm-up show before that. Moreover, this show is also a bit unusual. Actually, it was not a normal full-scale concert, but a mini stage with each stage lasting about 30 minutes. We do this three times a day. The opening = “Owner of A Lonely Heart” and ending = “Roundabout” are fixed for all three stages, but three songs are sandwiched between them. These middle three songs have been replaced quite a bit, so let’s just organize them here. ●SET 1 (starting at 17:30) Old song: America, Yours Is No Disgrace New song: Makes Me Happy ●SET 2 (starting at 18:45) Old song: I’ve Seen All Good People, Starship Trooper New song: Ramalama ●SET 3 (Starts at 20:00) New song: Makes Me Happy, Where Does Music Come From Old song: Yours Is No Disgrace *Note: “Owner of A Lonely Heart” and “Roundabout” are the same for all sets. …and it looks like this. Each set is a separate performance, so there are many duplicates, but three songs from “1000 HANDS: CHAPTER ONE” are being performed. The PV for “Ramalama” was released the other day, but you can already enjoy the full story of “Makes Me Happy” and “Where Does Music Come From” with live performances. This work includes all three stages, but the recording dates are different. Only “SET 1” will be performed on the first day, “March 11th”, and the remaining “SETs 2 and 3” will be performed on the second day, “March 12th”. The key to this work is its superb quality. Not only is it the latest digital equipment, but it looks directly at the stage with zero obstructions, and uses a bold zoom to cover not only John’s solos but also the solos of each member. Of course, all three are the best, but the one that is especially amazing is “SET 1 (March 11th).” It is a genuine premiere, but only this stage is multi-camera footage. Although you can tell it was shot from the audience seats because you can hear the lively applause, the footage captures the highlights and the ultra-clear sound makes it look like a professional shot. The visuals are so beautiful that you forget the fact that they were shot for an audience. The latest show depicted with its visual beauty is also wonderful. I’m also curious about the new songs from “1000 HANDS: CHAPTER ONE,” but I’m not familiar with the YES songs as they seem to be familiar as well. Gorgeously updated with a nine-piece ensemble including violin, saxophone, and trombone. While it is based on Michael T. Franklin, the producer of “1000 HANDS: CHAPTER ONE” and his band, it is even broader. Particularly eye-catching is Taiwanese violinist Jocelyn Su. Not only is she the only one in the band, but her youthful Asian features are very noticeable in a band that seems to have an older average age, and her cat ears (?) that seem to appeal to her youth are also dazzling. Of course, the performance is authentic. She has a music degree from Florida State University and not only performs in orchestras but also teaches. And, despite being such a large household, the ensemble is so tight and tight that it’s amazing. Although it is still the first performance, it may surpass the original YES and ARW if the number of performances increases. John Anderson’s latest solo show where you can enjoy new songs from “1000 HANDS: CHAPTER ONE” and YES music rewritten with a nine-piece lineup. This is a masterpiece video that allows you to experience the entire 3 stages in one day in the highest quality. This is a piece where you can quickly check out the latest ensemble before the full-scale start of the tour.
