Best place in the world…today! [chuckles]” Jon Anderson and his 1,000 Hands band have just arrived in the beautifully sunny state of Colorado, getting ready to bring their show to the Boulder Theater as they make their way across the States in the second leg of their US Tour of 2019. Jon ’s opening joke reveals several sides to the man: eternally optimistic and upbeat, he’s also used to living in the present moment and going with whatever flow life brings him. You truly feel that, for him, whichever moment he is inhabiting actually is the best place in the world. Having recently finished a couple of years touring with former Yes men Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin , and with no likelihood in sight of rejoining his other Yes family of Steve Howe , Alan White and Billy Sherwood on stage, Jon has taken to the road with his own 8-piece band to promote his new album 1,000 Hands . Happily, the material, production and performance on the new recording is one of the most polished and engaging achievements of his solo career, in no small part due to producer Michael Franklin who assembled a cast of thousands (of hands) to support Jon in realizing his vision. <img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34700" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.sonicperspectives.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/jon-anderson-live-one.jpg?resize=788%2C525&ssl=1" alt="" width="788" height="525" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.sonicperspectives.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/jon-anderson-live-one.jpg?w=1800&ssl=1 1800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.sonicperspectives.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/jon-anderson-live-one.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, http
