Anderson Ponty Band

For fans of Jon Anderson or Jean Luc Ponty, if the new band is in your area I would recommend seeing them. They have about ten shows left on this tour IIRC, you can go to Ponty's website for more info. My photos are crappy of course but I will post one. They do a nice mixture: older classic Yes songs, Ponty songs and new stuff off their new APB album. It's weird, I saw Ponty in 1975, and my buddy that went to the show with me saw Anderson in Yes in 1974 and many times since, including his last stint with Yes 11 years ago, right before he got seriously ill. We both saw Anderson solo acoustic three years ago. Anderson looked much better last night than even three years ago, and his voice was strong. Having not seen Ponty for 40 years, I was pleasantly reminded of his extremely high level of playing. They have a good band.
