The Unprecedented Changes of Yes
Susquehanna Bank Center
Camden, New Jersey

Review and Pictures By: Steve Trager
The bands’ music has always been a great epic compelling joyride through an endless journey that has captivated countless generations. It is hard to not notice the biggest part of this band is moving forward without front man Jon Anderson. That one of a kind voice that has been a whirlwind throughout this band’s music has gone silent. It wouldn’t matter how many different versions of Yes anyone has seen, it’s all about the voice, the voice behind the music.
After more then ten years, Yes has undergone an unprecedented change with an Individual who has some big shoes to fill in Anderson’s place. Benoit David seems to nail those selected tracks that Yes performed when they closed the opening night of their most recent Summer Tour in Camden New Jersey at Susquehanna Bank Center. With numerous great classics to perform, Yes kept it simple and pulled out nine of the best songs spanning the band’s roster.
Their nine greatest achievements are truly an inspiration and showed Yes in their finest moments as musicians on stage in Camden during this momentous concert. Each song sounded freshly polished with Benoit in the spotlight. These songs showcased Yes to the finest degree as a live act. Anyone would agree to that Yes are reluctant to have run into Benoit to front this Band as no one can ever really replace the legendary voice of Jon Anderson; who has been that individual carrying Yes for decades.
Perhaps we the music fans will never see Jon Anderson on Stage with his mates performing all these great classics again, but one thing is for sure Benoit David surly fits like a glove as Yes moves into a second generation with a stellar change that still keeps that one of a kind sound that has captured Yes as one of rock’s true Pioneers of progressive music.
