Yes to perform “classic albums” on US Tour

Rock Legends, Yes, Present Triple-Header 2013 Tour. Grammy award-winning rock luminaries, Yes, announce triple-album March to May 2013 North American tour.

The band will perform three of rock’s most influential albums, The Yes Album, Close to the Edge and Going for the One, in their entireties.

LOS ANGELES, California – December 10, 2012 —Legendary progressive rock band, Yes, today announced its upcoming North American tour, kicking off March 2013 in West Wendover, NV and wrapping up May 2013 in Detroit, MI. On this tour, fans can look forward to a totally new and unique Yes experience; the band, for the first time in its storied history, will perform three of its most popular albums in their entireties, The Yes Album, Close to the Edge, and Going for the One. Due to performance time limits in several venues, Yes will perform two albums, The Yes Album and Close to the Edge, in their entireties.

Performing three of rock’s most renowned albums will see Yes members, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes, and Jon Davison, playing Yes staples that have dramatically influenced rock music over the last four decades. Fans will enjoy long time favorites, including “Yours is No Disgrace,” “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Starship Trooper,” “Close to the Edge,” “And You And I,” “Going for the One,” “Wondrous Stories,” “Awaken,” and more, in a completely unique format. Moreover, Yes will perform all tracks in the order they appear on their corresponding studio albums.

“These albums we all easily agreed on—they are complete works in themselves. And several of the songs have rarely been performed live,” says Yes guitarist, Steve Howe. “I believe the one song we’ve never performed in concert is ‘A Venture’ from The Yes Album,” states Yes co-founder and bassist, Chris Squire. Yes drummer, Alan White goes on to say, “This is a great opportunity to show the growth of Yes throughout different eras, and to once again enjoy the great memories of those times, as well as create brand new ones. We’re looking forward to performing these albums. It’s going to be fun for us, and we think our fans will love it as well.”

The tour visits Seattle, WA; San Francisco, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Reno, NV; Aspen, CO; Kansas City, MO; Austin, TX; Clearwater, FL; New York, NY; Detroit, MI; Toronto, Ontario; and a variety of other cities. See the tour page for complete tour itinerary information, including venues and dates.
