Jon Anderson/OH,USA 2010

This is a must-have and must-see for all Yes & Jon Anderson fans, a 1 hour 31 minute super high quality professional shot video of the concert with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra held at the University of Cleveland on May 24, 2010, recorded from the local digital television broadcast master, boasting perfect image quality and sound. This is the second time that John has performed with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra, which is made up of student musicians and a choir, since the performance on April 24, 2004. The chemistry between John, who plays a wonderful vocal with an acoustic guitar, and the young and enthusiastic student orchestra is excellent, and the camera work and sound mix are overwhelmingly wonderful, giving everyone who watches it even more excitement than the previous performance of Yes and the orchestra. All the young musicians are wearing T-shirts with the event name “State Of Independence” printed on them, and the way they play Yes classics with John in perfect unison is truly spectacular. The entire arrangement was well thought out down to the last detail, and there is no doubt that it was done with a lot of preparation. Even if you think of it as a Yes-related live performance that goes beyond the concept of a simple collaboration or a typical event live, it is a rare performance in recent years. In addition to John, the Contemporary Youth Orchestra has also performed with Styx and Pat Benatar, and there is no doubt that Yes music was a better fit for them. It is moving to see young people who are 20 or 30 years younger than us old Yes fans approach Yes music with a sincere attitude and give us a deep and wonderful performance. John’s vocals also match their performance surprisingly well, and you can enjoy a performance that is full of satisfaction, both with Yes classics and John’s solo songs. The solo “Music Is God” sung with a choir of children is more moving than usual, and the wonderful arrangement of the intro to Show Me is also truly moving. The wonderful arrangement of each song is beyond imagination, and they must have a very good arranger. Each song is so beautiful and moving that you can listen to it with excitement, wondering, “How will this familiar Yes classic be expressed?”. No Yes fan will not cry at the magnificent excitement of And You And I. The encore is Soon, which can be said to be the “supreme version”, and State Of Independence, a collaboration with Vangelis. Even if you missed the latest Yes performance in Japan, fans will feel that this program is a must-see. This is an impressive masterpiece that all rock fans, as well as progressive rock fans, should see. There are not many items as amazing as this. Must-see, impressive 1 hour and 30 minutes!
