Saw this notice today of Yes playing at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA, but with Rabin, Anderson, and Wakeman. Who has the rights to tour with the band name? Will there be competing versions of Yes touring this year?

You just saw an ad from a confused promoter. This isn't reality. ARW is the band that they are talking about.
Thanks. Actually it's not just AXS but the Mountain Winery itself has them shown as Yes on their concert schedule.
Someone should call them and tell them they are mistaken.
I think that Brian Lane would disagree with you.Originally Posted by Sean

A couple guys in YES are OK with two Asia's. What is the problem really?
don't know that they are ok with it beyond the law forcing them to accept it.
Rick Wakeman has posted that ARW are now known as "Yes featuring Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman" (http://www.rwcc.com/gorr.asp)
Wow.....this should make for some interesting conversations at the Hall Of Fame induction Friday night.
At this point, what does it matter? Fans understand the difference and can choose to see both versions, see neither or one or the other based on predisposed opinions of "legitimacy." It's just a label that may, or may not bring a few more casual fans to a show. Otherwise, I personally don't care or see the harm. I don't think mommy and daddy are going to get back together, so you might as well enjoy getting double the presents at Christmas! If you enjoy the music, then enjoy whatever brand (and band) floats the boat. If it bothers you that so and so is in/not in the band--that's fine. If the "owners" of the name want to hash it out in court, that's their business and doesn't affect whether I personally go or skip a particular show.
Also, who wants to lay odds that the ARW team names their first album "Yes" or some variation therein?
Just my 2 cents.

There were two Gallaghers.
I'm totally forming a band and naming it "Yes featuring Bill Bruford's Admirable Restraint".

I hope they both tour the Relayer album.

As long as they all agree to this from a legal perspective it is all good, but if they don't it could get ugly.
Yes and No.

They were brothers. I saw a program about the famous one, apparently Gallagher II was a way for him to help out his unemployed brother, but he stipulations. Gallagher II wasn't allowed to play the same markets as Gallagher, he wasn't allowed to do TV, etc. Well, Gallagher II apparently contravened the agreement, so Gallagher sued him. Apparently, it got real ugly.
Hey there's like 3 Trans Siberian Orchestras
Who will be first to start the "Bracket: Yes vs Yes, which is the better Yes" thread?
Seriously, if those were smart they would incorporate all members not unlike the Gallagher brothers (the comedians - not the Oasis dudes). Then both bands could work in shifts, or at the same time, traversing the world vacuuming up $$$$$ CASH $$$$$$.
