lack of live venue availability has boosted home recording activity this
year.
While not exactly "Live to U-tube", this effort is on another level from
most.
Watch the finished product first:

Then hear the tech details from the bass player.

Nothing was simple about how they did it.
The song is "Roundabout" by Yes, so they picked a real easy one - right ?
I really dug that. Bass player has the "growl" down. Marvelous!
As a keyboardist that still uses all the classics, I would have liked the
keyboard parts much better if they were more authentic. Close....but no
cigar!
Other than that they smoked the sh*t out of this!
** Found another Yes cover from 6 years ago: "Owner of a Lonely Heart".
Same geeky gang, this time all squeezed into some basement with no "social distancing" in sight.

Much intrigued by the gal singer (Ann Marie) perched precariously on top of a small instrument amp, legs crossed and reading the lyrics from her smart phone - while totally nailing it.
Listen on headphones if possible, the bass is terrific.
