If youโ€™ve kept up with Yes co-founder Jon Anderson at all in the last decade, youโ€™d know that while his live shows tend to stick to the prog-rock bangers that put his band on the map, his new material is some of the freshest youโ€™ll hear from someone in his age bracket.

The 80-year-old latest album True, made with his new repertoire The Band Geeks, sounds like heโ€™s still at the helm of Yes, keeping the band evolving with the times rather than only channeling the bandโ€™s classic lineup era like the current lineup of the band does.

His soprano hasnโ€™t diminished even a little bit and his current tour sees him performing 20-minute epics without even breaking a sweat, so maybe pay the babysitter for an extra hour this Friday night.

Tickets to see Jon Anderson play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Friday, June 20, 2025 are still available and start at $54.75.
