    What, "An Evening of Yes Music, Plus" was already taken?

    (In before PE crashes from the weight of 10,000 posts...)
    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    Two nights at the Keswick - Philly is the only city getting a two night stand.

    I'm in. But not for both nights.

    Meh...was never excited about Rabin, and IMO YES was not the prog YES that I knew and loved during his era. Now, everyone sing..."Owner of a stinky fart."
    Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.

    Be nice if there was more mention of new music.

    So who the hell else is in the band? Or is anybody? I sure hope they're not going out without a rhythm section.

    Long-time YES fans, rejoice! Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman are proud to announce that after a hiatus of 25 years, they are to reform the definitive YES line-up as Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman (ARW).

    Since they last played together in 1990 on the highly successful YES ‘Union Tour’, there have been various hybrid versions of the band. However, none featured the iconic voice of Jon Anderson, the outstanding guitar talent of Trevor Rabin, and the keyboard wizardry of Rick Wakeman. The aim of the band will be to restore the standard of excellence in performance that they established with their 1990 shows – which saw YES members past and present come together for the first (and only) time of the legendary band’s career.

    “To be able to sing and perform with Rick and Trevor at this time in my life is a treasure beyond words,” explains Jon. “I’m so excited to create new music and revisit some of the classic work we created many years ago, it’s going to be a musical adventure on so many new levels.”
    “Trevor and I have wanted to play Yes music together since the Union Tour,” adds Rick. “And as for so many of us, there is no Yes music without Jon. The ‘Holy Trinity of Yes’ is for me, very much a dream come true.”

    The most successful prog rock group of all time, YES was founded by Jon Anderson in 1968 and went on to sell millions of units with releases such as Fragile, Close to The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Going For The One and 90125, as well as embarking on several record-breaking world tours.

    While Rick is associated with the ’70s “prog era” of the band (which saw YES become a worldwide stadium headliner) and Trevor associated with the ’80s “pop era” of the band (which furthered the band’s popularity – including the band’s biggest chart success), Jon is the bridge between both factions (as he was a member of both eras).

    Not content to rest on past glory, Jon, Trevor and Rick are working on new songs, which are currently being recorded. The band will make its live debut in North America in October/November, followed by the Rest of the World in 2017.

    The worldwide ARW Tour is being produced by legendary concert promoter Larry Magid, who is considered an architect and leader of the modern concert business. With over 16,000 concerts to his credit and still counting, he has produced national and international tours for Yes, Richard Pryor, Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, Robin Williams, Kristin Chenoweth, Earth Wind & Fire, Il Divo, The Allman Brothers Band, Patti LaBelle, Grover Washington Jr. and many others. In 1985 Larry Magid co-produced the American portion of Live Aid and in 2005 he was the producer of Live 8.

    Glad to finally see an announcement. I've been interested in this idea since the Union tour.

    I'm actually way more interested in seeing this show than their former bandmate's show.

    Well, this is great news! I'm excited there's a Denver date. Having just seen an amazing show here with Jon & Jean-Puc, ARW will be hard-pressed to beat that one. But I'm game for seeing them try. Rick's comment about the three of them being the "Holy Trinity" is odd, however. If I were ever to pick 3 band members, it would surely include Howe instead of Rabin. But no need to nit-pick, it's just marketing. And I love Trevor too, so am very excited to see this lineup.

    I'm guessing this is who we have to thank for that "assault on the eyeballs" web site. Subtlety is not in this guy's vocabulary, methinks. Though that could help them in terms of promotion and ticket sales. I'd guess it was Rabin who got him on board.

    I'm as happy about this as the next guy on PE, but damn, that sure is some hyperbole in the ad copy. The "definitive lineup"?? Sheesh...

    ^It is cheeky...especially as this 'definitive Yes line-up' basically only existed for one tour!

    All US dates so far. Looking forward to the album!

    With all this hype I hope ARW doesn't turn out to be ARGH!

    So, who's on first? Err, bass? Drums?

    Let me guess.

    Billy Sheehan, bass. Simon Phillips, drums.

    Altho I'd sign up if it were Paul McCartney on bass (imagine the harmonies!) and Gavin Harrison on drums.

    What are the chances that this will be as funny as those?
