Another Jackal Production Vol 32: Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks 2025-04-08 Fox Theater, Oakland, CA
This was the first of 2 JA shows for me this week; I also attended the 4/11 show in Sacramento. Even at 80 years old, Jon's voice remains a gift from the gods for us mere mortals. He's still singing strong and The Band Geeks are no slouches. It was a great night of Yessongs along with 3 new cuts from Jon's latest album. Jon messed up one line of lyrics (during And You and I). He did a facepalm right after and comments about it after finishing the song.
Includes the show announcement from the Fox Theater website & pics I took with my iPhone 15 Pro Max and edited for presentation with Powerpoint.
