A cross-posting from my World of Music blog. Why not check it out?
Tickets went on sale on Friday for the UK tour of Jon Anderson and his accompanying musicians 'The Band Geeks'.
I first heard Jon sing live in the 1980s with Yes.
I was able to see the classic line up, with Alan White, Chris Squire, Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman. I also saw a range of other musicians play in the line-up, including Buggles-era, and ABWH etc.
More to come when I reach 'Y' in my A-Z of music for February.
I had access to the pre-sale so purchased mine on Wednesday, and went for the classic venue which is the London Palladium.
Here's the band playing the Yes track 'Roundabout'.
For those in the know, the opening notes of this song were also the first part of the theme tune for the Brazil series I used when teaching back in the 1980s and into the 1990s.
This particular programme was used for years... called "Skyscrapers and Slums" - a term we would not use today as these are essentially people's homes.
It features Mauro "the show shine boy" who had dreams of being a pilot... one of the great mysteries of the geography world back then - in the days before the internet - was whether he made it...
Who else remembers Mauro??
