Jon Anderson, the founder, main songwriter, and former lead singer of prog rock legends Yes, wrapped up his short East coast tour with a performance at a near-capacity Hart theatre at the Egg Saturday night.
For Jon Anderson, who was unceremoniously showed the door after faithfully fronting Yes for four decades, singing the songs he has written and became famous for in a small setting seems to suit his Zen-like nature.
He was struggling to keep himself together in front of a sold-out crowd of mostly grey-haired dads -- odd for a guy who commands a 25-piece band with ease.
