Jon Anderson and The Band of Geeks at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on May 5 is an evening with one of the defining voices of progressive rock. Anderson’s tenure as the lead singer of Yes produced some of the most ambitious and enduring music of the 1970s — “Close to the Edge,” “Roundabout,” “And You and I” — songs whose complexity and beauty have only grown in stature over the half-century since their creation.
The Band of Geeks — a collective of musicians assembled to honor the progressive tradition — provides Anderson with a platform to revisit that catalog alongside newer material. Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in the Capital Region, with its extraordinary acoustics and intimate scale, is one of the finest possible settings for music that rewards close, attentive listening. The 1875 hall was built for the kind of dynamic range that progressive rock demands.
