Jon Anderson-of YES tour

Should be great and bring some weed. I used to play their 8 track’s

That's awesome!

I have a few bootleg recordings of their concerts. I'll have to search through my HDDs, probably nothing that hasn't already been uploaded to YouTube.

Big Jon Anderson fan.  Strangely, I'm more interested in his work with Vangelis than with YES.

Good God, what a catalog! Yep, been there in a somewhat OCD kind of way.
How can anyone just casually recognize the likes of Rick Wakeman? What ya think Roddie?
I hate to hear people romance an era through music, but I'm as guilty, guilty, guilty, as anyone here on this.
I leaned heavy on bands like Yes, years ago. I credit them for helping me survive those years.

Thanks for the interest/replies! For this show; Anderson will be accompanied by members of the Paul Green (School of Rock) Rock Academy Band. Lynne acted quickly when the theater's "coming events" brochure came in the mail.. and as such; we have 4th row/center seats.

Below is a web-link for info about the show.

Below is a web-link for info about the current YES band, that is quite informative.

Hey Bob! Yea... I've listened to/marveled at "Excerpts from The Six Wives of Henry VIII" live off the YESSONGS album.. and it just blows me away every time!

I didn't know much about any of this until just recently. I wasn't a die-hard YES fan.. but there was a time in my life (circa 1977-1979.. I graduated HS in 1978) when we used to hang-out at a friend's house.. (actually a cottage/man-cave next to his parents house..   ) Three of us listened to YES vinyl on a KILLER stereo system. You can imagine how cool that was..

Below; a web-link showing members of the band through the years. Note that Oliver Wakeman (Rick Wakeman's son) toured with YES back in 2009 for a few years.
