323.0. "Old Yes new tour" by COMICS::HUDSON (that's what I think) Tue Jan 24 1989 17:05

    Does anyone have any information on the rumoured forthcoming Yes
    tour?  I've seen mention of it in a couple of the music papers,
    with line ups of either Howe/Anderson/Bruford/Wakeman or
    Howe/Anderson/White/Wakeman, and dates in "spring".

      Aren't both Yes line ups having an argument over who actually
    owns the line up?  I think the Anderson Yes are touring, billing
    themselves as 'an evening of Yes music', or some such

    According to the March issue of Q the situation is :
    
    Yes ( Chris Squire, Tony Kaye , presumably Trevor Rabin and Alan
          White)
    
    have one more LP to produce to finish their contract.
    
    By this time or shortly after the name "Yes" will no longer
    belong to Atlantic records and thus useable by anyone(?)
    
    Meanwhile, Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe and Bill Bruford
    are using the name 'The Affirmative'.
    
    The rumour appears to be that after Yes have released their final
    contractual LP , Chris Squire will rejoin Jon Anderson & Co and
    start using the name 'Yes' again.
    
    Confusing isn't it?
    
    I don't know how reliable the source of all this is but it'll be
    interesting to see what does happen.

    There was an advertisement in the Guardian yesterday (presumably
    it's also been in the music press) for concerts in October by the
    Yes subset (Anderson/Howe/Bruford/Wakeman).  The only date I remember
    definitely is 28 October at Wembley Arena.  As said in an earlier
    reply, the concert is billed as "An Evening of Yes Music plus...".

    It was a great gig. They played lots of old Yes stuff as well as
    tunes from their new album. Only problem was I thought it a bit long.
    You can spoil a good thing with too much.
                           
    Each of the musicians did heir own bit (solo isn't the right word
    really) and Steve Howe had me mesmerised for the wholr show, the
    guy is AMAZING.                                        
                                                          
    The band were great to interview but the backstage "party" was
    dead. Ended up going after about 15 minutes.          
                                    
    Cheers,

323.9<ABWH 29/10/89>IOSG::HARDIEAll the best FREAKS are hereTue Oct 31 1989 17:0918
    When did you actually go the 28th or 29th???
    
    I went on the 29th and wasn't overly impressed with it to be honest,
    although I'm not an avid fan of Yes (sorry ABWH).
    
    The Bill Bruford solo was amazing though to say the least.
    
    I think the rest of the audience were the same, I mean for the first
    1 hr 45 mins everybody was sitting down talking amongst themselves,
    I've never seen such a sedate audience. After 'Heart of ...' though
    everything went wild.
    
    The newer stuff 'Brother ...', 'Order of ...', seemed to come across
    better live than a lot of the older classics.
    
    My first but not last (I hope) Yes concert.

    4 mins to reply not bad.
    
    Haven't you got any work to do ??
    
    The concert on the 29th wasn't sold out as the 28th was which made
    quite a bit of a difference to the atmosphere in the Arena.
    
    Steve Howe didn't seem up to his best to me.

    I beg your pardon ?
         
    Yes, I do have lots of work to do. I also have a program which mails
    me new notes from my notebook.
      
    I wish I had the same amount of work as your good self, I'd love
    to have the time to analyse the entry time of notes.

323.15Wakeman Discs?REFINE::IGOEFri Jan 05 1990 18:4516
    	Are there any Rick Wakeman CD releases available in the UK that
    aren't available in the U.S.  It was mentioned (by RW) on a radio show
    that his record company (Charisma?) lost its American franchise in the early
    eighties.
    
    	So far, all I have been able to get my hands on are:
    
    	A&M (1973-1975)
    		Six Wives of Henry VII
    		Myths and Legends of King Arthur...
    		Journey to the Center of the Earth
    
        President/Relativity (post 1987)
    		Zodiaque
    		The Family Album
    		Suite of Gods

    ORACLE National gigs list a concert in late June by a band called YES. 
    Does anyone know who this consists of ?

    	Apparently they have *ALL* got back together again.
    
    
    	The originalish line up.
323.18YES I have/will see YESENTOP2::DELPHIASmilin' at Everyone!Wed Apr 10 1991 02:2412
    YES,they did get back together again. They are touring my part of the
    states and I,me,myself will be attending one of there shows(in the
    round). I have seen the "this is the most positively absolutely
    definitely last time you will be ever able to see so-and-so" tactic
    used on advertising before. I'm not worried. The only reason that I am
    seeing YES,other that a mediocore liking of the band,is that my friends
    (who dragged me to every 90125 Yes concert within a hundred mile
    radius of my home) like them. I figure the next time they get bored
    or hard up for cash we'll see 'em touring again.
    
    (Is the music scene just starting to get to be one big oldies rock and
     roll revival - or is it me???)
323.19SHAPES::FIDDLERMWed Apr 10 1991 12:124
    This s YES seems to be almost everyone who has been in the band
    recently, I believe its 8 people on stage.
