YES
Years of absence and the departure of keyboardist Rick Wakeman had done little to diminish fan interest in the reunion of the classic version of Yes back in 1997. At that time, the band sold out shows in New York and Philadelphia in a matter of minutes. Well, things haven?t changed so much, fans once again crazy for what Yes has to dish out with another global tour.

YESHOOPLA
Why all the hoopla this year? Well you see, Yes has been at this for 35 long years of rock and rolling. 35 years is a freaking long time to maintain a collective creative endeavor, very few bands have been able to do it. So, in grand tradition, Yes took to the stage and launched their 35th Anniversary Tour.

YESTOUR
Yes has been touring the planet and is about to embark in a North American Summer Tour with scheduled stops including Syracuse, NY; Denver, CO and Albuquerque, NM. The band is sure to carry over some of the design esthetic of their European tour, as their elaborate stage was designed by Roger Dean and took advantage of the open space of an arena stage. That same beautiful design aesthetic is also available in handy to carry t-shirt form at http://www.t-shirtking.com/

YESWEARE
The classic line up of Yes is currently made up of longtime members: guitarist Steve Howe, vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist/vocalist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White. The on again, off again membership by Rick Wakeman is back on, as he takes to the keyboards.

YESWORLD
The band's on stage performance is truly spectacular. Both visually and sonically they have been able to recapture what has made then great and simultaneously infusing it with a fresh take that is worth

YESACOUSTIC
"Yes Acoustic" is a brand new DVD featuring live performances that were recorded in front of a Los Angeles studio audience on January 26th, 2004. It originally appeared in the big screen when it was broadcast live via satellite to 21 Regal Cinema theatres across the USA. The DVD includes behind the scenes footage before the band went live on stage.

YESSPEAK
At 35 years and counting, Yes could qualify as progressive rock's longest running drama and if you want to see the reality TV version of such then their new documentary, "Yesspeak" is not to be missed. Particularly entertaining is the band's resident storyteller and jokester, Rick Wakeman.

WHOYESWHO

Perhaps the most interesting and delightful element of the "Yesspeak" documentary is an aspect that is not directly Yes-related. Instead it is Who-related, as Who front man Roger Daltrey spins a jovial, metaphor laden narration over the entire Yes production.
