The Alumni section is awesome. Glad to see that is back on the site. Kudo’s guys!
]
Tim Lutterbie
Great new design! Keep it up, we love Yes’s presence on the internet.
Excellent work on the new site. Well-done.
Wow new site is amazing! Love the “We are Yes” nice to see a statement like that. Finely a web site worthy of the band and its fans!
Love the new design. btw: c ya tomorrow night in Jax
How about coming to St. Louis?
I’d like to echo the requests for a St. Louis show.
Finally, a Website to do this band, musicians and music justice, and promote to a wider audience. Fantastic!
Congrats on the renovations at Yesworld and as Tim said above its great to see the alumni back where they belong. Might I suggest a links section to sites like the bands live history at forgotten yesterdays http://www.forgotten-yesterdays.com and the Yesfans discussion forum at http://www.yesfans.com
Fantastic to see the world’s greatest progressive rock band with a world class website! Looking forward to the UK tour in 2014. I’ll be there!
Went to the show in Clearwater Florida last night.. Amazing!!!!!!!! A must see event for all. The woman sitting next to me didn’t know all of the material but she said it was the best concert she went to in many many years. For not even the biggest fan, its an awesome experience… but I’m the biggest fan and of course I loved it all… Great job guys!!!
Great new redesign. Thanks for bringing back the Alumni section. but I think there’s a slight error. I recall it was Trevor Horn who played bass on “Run Through The Light” on the Drama album and Chris Squire played the piano. You only list Trevor as Vocals, keyboard and producing.
But thanks for the new and improved website !!
Yes…Yes. The Clearwater Fl. experiance last night was incredible. My friend I went to the concert with kept saying “no one will believe us, when we say how great is was”. And we both have seen may shows.
What kind of vitamins is Steve taking? He played with so much energy, that lasted all evening. Then the crushing sounds of Chris’s bass make it all such a blast! The new ‘Jon’ did fantastic. Thank You , Gentlemen, always a pleasure. True professionals.
excellent new website. definitely worth the wait. the alumni info is perfect… great how the recent tour dictates the theme of the site when you first open it. i can’t wait for the beacon theater show next week AND july 31st just got tickets for westbury north fork theater. and steve will be playing solo and with his trio in june. how he does it i have no clue. all i know is i will have a hard time sleeping until next tuesday! great job on the site again guys..long overdue.. GOOD THINGS ARE WORTH WAITING FOR…. my dad passed away in october, saw yes with him a bunch of times and solo tours as well. this tours for him…he was an 83 year old yes fan!
The Clearwater, FL show last night was wonderful, a special performance of three very important Yes albums – thank you Yes. The concert was made even more special when I realized, to my surprise, that Patrick Moraz was seated directly in front of me. I’m not sure if very many people recognized him – then again, who would think that a great, world renown keyboard player and former Yes member would be sitting in the audience? I waited until the intermission to introduce myself and only intended to spend a few seconds expressing my genuine appreciation and admiration for his musical contributions and influence. As we spoke (for several minutes) I found him to be exceptionally polite, friendly, appreciative, warm, welcoming, and talkative. He was also highly praising of the band’s performance – he’s a genuine class act.
re: Patrick Moraz
That was really cool that Pat was in the audience at the Ruth Eckard. I lived just north of there for about 2 years and never once saw a show there, but I’m glad YES was there. “Relayer” is one of my favorite albums, as it “going for the one”. I was only 12 when “90125″ came out and YES was my first concert. Seeing this tour, I think may have been the first time I heard “Starship trooper” with Steve Howe playing and not trevor rabin, so that was very cool. Jon Davison seems quite shy, I wish Chris and Steve would have talked more, or EVERYONE would have talked more. Since Geoff was there they should do a “Drama” song as an encore too.
There are wonderful documentaries and interviews with Steve Howe, showing what a perfectionist he is pre-show, he really does care about the sound quality (he gets feedback from doing his own checks at soundcheck) and the music and does not want to disappoint. I love how Chris is always smiling. I would hate to think that any of these talented men have ill feelings toward each other.
Great web site design!!! The Alumni section is a wonderful addition – very tasteful and professional. Thank you.
Wow, is the three letter word which i will describe the show last night at Ruth Eckerd , YES is the three letter word for the band. Last nights show mark the 53 show that I have seen YES play. After the last three shows I was about to retire from seeing my spirtual leaders because they lacked the energy that was so uplifting. All I can say is my spirts are high again and I have no voice left today as I was just blown away with one of the most high energy shows that I have seen from them in a very long time. Trust me fans do not let the utube videos people are taking make a deceision not to go see them. Hope they return to Florida in 2014, Lets also pray for another UNION from the band before they can not deliver anymore. Thank you fellows for making my time at the show so awesome!!!
Loved the show in Louisville on St. Patricks day. They sounded really tight. Hope to see them again next year here!!!
Always holding on to the hope of seeing Yes with Jon and Rick one more time. But, in the mean time, I’ll see them as much as possible.
I will be attending the August 8 show at the Wisconsin State Fair, What a birthday gift from MY GUYS!!!!!!
Definitely no one will make a sound like this in the world!, and thank you for returning to Brazil (São Paulo)
Are the band taking the tour to the UK?
Do YES have a new live in concert on DVD available soon ?
I first saw YES back in 1973 and they were the best of the best the Eagles and Edgar Winter opened for them!
When I first purchased tickets for this show at the Beacon Theater in NY. It was advertised three albums YES ALBUM, FRAGILE and CLOSE TO THE EDGE! Now they replaced FRAGILE with GOING FOR THE ONE! Very disappointing!!!
What is wrong playing going for the one. Rick came back to the band. Jon would sing wonderous stories. That album is 1 of the best. Turn of the century that is a owsome song. Steve Howe play’s all kinds of guitars on that album. Fragile has alot of great songs. It is cool that Yes has gone back to the great albums that they did years ago. Close to the edge was written as a very spirtual message. I hope on the new cd coming out in 2014 that they do
another kind of drama cd. Keep up with Yes news. If you like Yes you can get transatlantic. The world wind tour on cd thru barnes & noble is 3 hours long. A very cool concert.
Here Here!!
What is the deal, we have only hosted one concert in some 6-7 years. I have driven to Indiana to get a seat.
Chicago……..Please put us on your next tour, we (Home of the Blues), you know, real close to the home of
Myles Davis~!!!! Tina Turner, Guys…..Even the Stones stop by more……
Do the VIP package meet & greet happen before or after the show?
They happen after the show.
And the VIP package merchandise (t-shirt, signed photo, etc.) is that handed out after the show as well?
“Yes” Rocks Good Vibrations !!!!!! Always Masters of Harmonies, Music, Sounds and Power !!!!!!
Is there going to be a Vancouver,BC date
Saw YES at The King Center , Melbourne FL.
Absolutely amazing. The lead singer fills the bill well.
http://ejectthetape.blogspot.co.uk/ for previews, and where to get the free boot. GO TO THE CONCERTS! SUPPORT THE LIVE MUSIC!!
Just saw the show at the Sands in Bethlehem. Wow! Excellent!
It was great to hear the albums performed in sequence start to finish.
The highlight of the show for me was Pepertual Change.
Davison was impressive. His range matches that of Anderson’s perfectly.
His vocal performance was very faithful to the originals.
Great show guys!
Thank You
-To those thinking about seeing this tour, Do Not Hesitate!
I’ve seen every Yes tour since Big Generator. Don’t miss this one.
We saw Yes on April 5th at MGM at Foxwoods. They are still amazing after all these years. This was my 7th time seeing them and first time without Jon Anderson. Let me tell you Jon Davison was very good. The vocals were as good as ever. The show was a bit louder than any show I have gone to but IYes is my favorite band of all time. I’ve been listening to them since 1969. Thanks for coming to CT. Keep the great music coming. Larry
Love the new website! And I am glad I can make this tour. Wish the store prices were a bit cheaper, though!
We saw the Sands Bethlehem show the other night. It was fantastic, and I’d see them again if they were coming back to Philly this tour. Jon Davison in particular did a great job stepping into a very difficult position. Their harmonies still sound good (if not quite as high as they used to be), and their playing is virtuoso level as always. I’ve been seeing them since the early seventies (missed Bruford’s original tenure though), and hadn’t seen them do A Venture or Going for the One before, nor the original ending to Your Move. Aside from a few sound man issues (like Geoff Downes’ keyboards getting louder and quieter at apparently random times), it was a perfect night. Catch one of these shows if you can !
So, is it too early to submit requests for the next tour ? I nominate Fragile, Relayer and Tales (abbreviated if necessary).
Hi Jack
Thanks for your great comments. We’re trying to finalise a show in either Philly, Atlantic City, or Camden for August 3rd.
When we’ve got it fixed, it will be announced on the website, twitter, facebook etc.
YES
So Excited to hear of a potential Philly Area Show!!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!!
any chance of YES coming to Denver Colorado on this tour?? (please say ‘YES’)
Don’t forget Mexico City!!!
And by the way, happy birthday Steve.
Is Yes planning a stop in Chicago this go round,saw them at the Venue in Hammond,in.By far the best Yes show i’ve seen in years.The band seems
more at ease and much more energized.This is a must see show,the new Jon makes me not miss the old Jon one bit.This guy has a stage presence
that Jon 1 never had,unless you like your singer standing in one spot the whole night playing his wind chimes to the Divine Mother.This is what a band
is all about,not 1 guy with 4 supporting players but the whole as one.You guys found a gem in Jon Davidson,can’t wait for an album with him.
I saw the wonderful concert at the MGM Grand in Foxwoods, CT but was disappointed in not hearing Going For The One. Please try to come to Boston for the 3 Album Show. Also, The Twin River Events Center website lists their concert as performing all 3 albums. Do you have any definitive information if this is a 2 or 3 album concert?
Thank You!
Great looking site guys! Well done!
Is there any intention to release a recording of one of the shows as a CD/Download? I think most would want such a momento of this wonderful tour.
On my way to massey hall very soon !! Dinner and a few pops and a great show!!!
I just bought tickets for Munhall, PA on August 4th! I’ll be travelling from Philly. Didn’t know you were working on a show for the 3rd in the Philly area!! Now what do I do??
Bethlehem show was fantastic!!!!
GRACIAS…. GRACIAS…. GRACIAS!!!! DESDE PERU LOS SALUDAMOS…. POR FIN VEREMOS AL MARAVILLOSO GRUPO YES… Y ESCUCHARE Y VERE MIS DOS DISCOS FAVORITOS… CLOSE TO THE EDGE Y THE YES ALBUM!!! PERU AMA A YES!!!
desde mucho tiempo atrás les seguimos, no somos pocos los seguidores en el PERÚ, gracias por venir! a emocionarnos, a transportarnos, oirles y por primera vez sentir la magia en vivo de YES!
Seja bem vinda a porto alegre! A maior banda de rock progressivo da hisroria!
Hey, guys – fantastic gig at the Warfield in San Francisco!!! Mind Blast! I see you’re coming back to California in July – How bout three different Yes albums? Rock on, lads, rock on!!!!
Great show at the Fox…a lot of classic YES and played to a t! Fantastic new singer ( we still miss JA)! Excellent new website…rock on guys!
We saw the show last night at the Fox in Detroit. The band was really on, but Steve seemed upset about something in the audiance. I saw him SHHHH somebody at one point…one time his Variax wasn’t ready and he went back to his es-175 but seemed pretty pissed. I couldn’t tell if he actually was having fun or if he was just pissed all night. Great show though, we had a blast, the singer was fantastic…Chris was really cranking…was that his Grand-daughter that he took on stage at the end??? All in all, one of their best shows I’ve seen!
Caught the show last night at Massey Hall, Fantastic!!! – Chris, thanks for keeping YES going. – Steve, blown away by clap, awesome picking. – Allan, couldn’t watch from the front row but sounding great. – Geoff, you’re up there with the late great Jon Lord. – Jon, you got a great set of pipes, a career worth following. The show will be one for the books for me and I look forward to your return to Toronto, same venue please. you would sell out a larger venue but the intimacy of Massey Hall makes it so much better. The VIP package was worth every penny and would do it again. What a great lot of humble gentle men. Thanks to Allen the promotions guy, you really made the experience of meeting the band great. Wishing you all good health and happiness doing what you love.
DC.
Hey guys, any possible chance of adding a date in St. Louis, MO on this 2013 tour. Maybe after Indianapolis in August! Would love to see you again! Please consider. Thanks!
Hello,
The date of 21st May in Curitiba is confirmed? At the web site of the Positivo Theatre there is nothing about it.
Thanks,
Gabriel.
Tickets will go on sale on 18 April at http://www.teatropositivo.com.br/secao/75/agenda.aspx
come to brazil?
Finalmente Curitiba vai poder ver a maior banda de rock progressivo do mundo e todos os tempos. Pena que não virão Jon Anderson e Rick Wakeman, mas Steve Howe, Chris Squire e Alan White vão dar conta do recado e ainda por cima vão tocar Close to the Edge. Vai ser um show memorável.
any plans for a show or two or three down here in texas?
Great show in Jacksonville last week
México City, I know that you came here last year, but please, Come to México again, Are there any plans to bring this three disc show???
Please tell me that a european tour is scheduled…
YES still rocks and I couldn’t be happier about that. Go YES!
Yes! I loved your show at the Fox in Detroit. I was wondering, will Songs from Tsongas be released on CD and on your next tour, could you consider playing Mind Drive again? I love that track. Keep up the amazing work guys!!!
hi im a long time yes head I find myself on ssi on a fixed income after some physical problems im raising an amazing 11 yro boy whos first concert has to be yes of course as it was mine in 1973 I’m wondering does the band ever help people get to shows and if so would my son and I be considered dont know how close you come to us were in valparaiso indiana 219-242-2386 is my number forever a fan.

Hello Alan!
Like so many YESFANS I’ve seen the band many times…dating back to March of 1974 on the Topographic Oceans tour. My question:
I’ve always gotten a particular thrill during the opening sequence of a YES concert, in other words, how you choose to enter the stage…pre-show music, and of course the show opener itself. Has any particular band member been the most responsible when it comes to how you begin the show, and do you have a particular favorite opening song?
Any updates on a possible Philadelphia Area date in August?
Please come to St. Louis. I hope you all don’t forget about all us old YES fans here.
Any news on a UK tour?
Chris Squire has indicated that a European Tour is in the works for May/June 2014
Just went to buy tickets at Cain Park in Cleveland Hts. and it looks like the pavilion seats are sold out (at least through ticketmaster). Crap!
Thanks for bringing great music to Mountain Park Holyoke Ma USA on July 27th !!!!
It’s been nearly 20 years since I saw my 1st YES show in 1994,and then again in 2002 on the Anniversary Of the “Tales From Topographic Oceans” album tour,and now I’m going to see them one more time this july 21st 2013 at Symphony Hall in Atlanta,GA just 2 days before my 41st birthday on july23rd 2013…LOL…I have always loved YES,and have always considered them,and Emerson,Lake & Palmer to be the 2 greatest bands ever,or ever will be…A very good birthday present to myself I think especially when I got the Meet,and Greet package…Can’t wait…Steve Howe is the greatest guitarist ever!!!!
will rock band record and release new studio album 2014
How about a show in the Pacific Northwest?
Cant wait to see the May, 25 gig in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Long Live Yes.
Anyone remember the jingle that Yes recorded for KMET 94.7 in Los Angeles, late 1970s / early 1980s? Jon sang “KMET rocks Southern California” with the band playing a short snippet from “And You and I.” I’d love to have a copy if it exists.
I saw them recently in San Francisco, and although I thought the tempos were dragging a bit and I missed Jon’s voice, it was a great concert. I’m going to see them again at Mountain Winery in a few weeks.
Hi , when is the next QnA with Chris?
what email do I send questions to?
Will there be VIP package when they place the NE of USA? In the meet and greets is it possible to ask Chris a quick question?
Please come to Spokane Washington again! Spokane LOVES YES! You have always had SOLD OUT crowds here! Please say YES!
Would love it if you could come to the new Ford Center in Evansville, IN, or St. Louis!
Philly! Philly! Philly! ?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Any word on the negotiations for a Philadelphia show on Aug 3rd?
I have been a fan of yours since the beginning when are you comming to St. Louis Mo. to do a concert I would like to see you the fans of KSHE Real Rock raido would like to hear you in concert too.
Counted up my shows the other day, August 8 will be my 31st show. I have all my ticket stubs but one.
Looking forward to ANOTHER GREAT SHOW !!!!!! this will also be the second time I have seen them on my birthday.
Next tour – Fragile, Drama, Relayer !!!!!!!
I have seen you often in concert. In the early years, did the Eagles ever open for you?
Are you gonna take the tour to the UK?
There’s always something of interest in YES to write about. After the surprise album from ‘Squackett’ and the fact that ‘Fly From Here’ stands in the german eclipsed charts since it was released, always high ranked, I’m looking forward now to the release of something fresh from Steve Howe! Also I have a vision not to drop Jon Davison if Chris, Steve, Alan and Jon Anderson come to work together! It really should be more of a musicians community at all!
…by the way: this brillant new site include too much data. My tiny ‘eee PC’ netbook with its little intel atom processor does not work it up very smooth.
THIS IS MORE F A QUESTION….IS THERE A YES CONCERT AUGUST 12 2013 IN CIN. OHIO? I DONT SEE IT ON THE YES WEBSITE
Looking forward to purchase the tickets June 1 for the performance in Prior Lake, MN. Even though it is a 2 album show, any way that you can at least do one song from Going for the One (Awaken)? That is one of my favorite Yes tunes. My son and I will be attending and are so looking forward to the concert. Been a Yes fan since my high school days in the 70s and never been to a Yes concert so this will definitely be a huge treat. Thank you for such a fantastic musical career!!
I need to know the name of this song, and I’m pretty sure it’s from Yes. Heard it on Pandora and I can’t stop humming the one part I remember. Don’t know the words or the title or the album, so I made this: https://soundcloud.com/faboo93/yes-song
Hopefully someone here can tell me more about it.
I know it’s not as good as the original: it’s not supposed to be.
Please, please, please come to Asia and play The Gates of ……..
The time has come, I grew up listening your marvelous melodies that now are part of me, last time I saw you was at New Port Beach,CA long time ago, at Lima Peru I will be on the first row and I’m sure I will enjoy the show as a special moment that will stick around forever, thanks for that much virtuosity
Pñease, sing Roundabout, Tempus Fugit and Does It really Happen?,
Please, Perú want hear you sing “Roundabout”,” Tempus Fugit” and “Does It really Happen?”,
please come to the gates of delirium of Asia!
you know what is so great? being able to see yes at the beacon theater and knowing as i walk out of the most amazing show, i’m seeing them again shortly in long island. it makes waking up everyday worth while…
These guys just keep on performing amazing music- I do miss Jon and Rick- I’ll be catching them at the Wisconsin state fair in August. Be great to see them in the Round again.
Yes! You know you need to return to St. Louis! And you should queue up Relayer for the next tour!!
My name is Fernando Elizalde, Yes played yesterday night in my country Lima Peru. I went to the concert, was really incredible, the masters Howe and squire, and the new singer were amazing, they playing almost 03 hours, and the estadiun was full of people.
Thankyou Yes, for tremendus Show in Peru, I hop see you soon.
Aonde eu encontro a musica “Love Will Find A Way” Live????? Se por acaso alguem souber, favor enviar para:
razevedo98@gmail.com
Obrigado

I watched Yes yesterday at Brasília show. It was fantastic! Twenty eight years aftter I first watched them at Rock in Rio, back in 1985, they still show the same magic at stage. The vocalist is excellent and owns nothing to Jon Anderson’s performances, including his comparable voice. Took my 12 year old son and he was delighted with the great musicians and beuatifull songs!
What about the possibility of a new DVD with a 2013 complete show? Any plan actually? I saw the in Lima and it was an amazing experience, really impressive.
Curious about the upcoming Indianapolis show ……. already have my tickets………does anyone know if you can just purchase the ‘meet and greet’ ticket??
i did fo r San Diego show.
long time yes fan inspired by them and chris I try to play bass on disability trying to raise a son alone love for his first concert to be the best band ever yes we are in Indiana any ideas ?
Does this site plan on announcing “YESFEST” in Camden , NJ on Aug. 3 anytime soon?

I’ve just got back from Yes concert in São Paulo, Brazil. It was amazing!!! Thank you very much for coming! I’m very glad Geoff Downes is back
why is this called a world tour or north American tour. one stop in CANADA. and people here do not even qualify quebec as Canada well west of Ontario cheers mr c
Great show here in São Paulo last friday! Thanks!!!!!!
Thanks a lot for the amazing show at Araujo Vianna, Porto Alegre. It was incredible. I hope that the crew had given my guitar pick to mr. Howe. Waiting to see you again briefly.
Any news on a UK / European tour in 2014?
Hi All –
Just heard about Yes festival in Philly later on in August. Anyone know if there will be any other dates. Checked both Carl Palmers website as long as Renaissance, but no mention of even the Philly show.
A small record of the excellent concert at Guaíra Theatre in Cutiba, Brazil. Perpetual Change. Fantastic!
Dear Yes-members,
I’m anxious waiting for a new Yes concert in the Netherlands. It has been to long ago I have seen Yes live. It’s always a very nice experience to hear the Yes-music live. Please visit our beautiful country as. soon as you can. I also want to let my girlfriend experience this beautiful music in a concert hall.
Thanks in advance for coming over.
Willi
I just picked up a pair of tickets for the 8/3 Yestival in Philadelphia using the fan presale password “YES” (I don’t think it’s case-sensitive). Either Live Nation and/or the venue are holding back a lot of tickets for the public sale tomorrow (6/7), or they are selling like crazy !
I Am A Huge (13 year old) Yes fan. I know all of your work from YES – Fly From Here! Some Of My Favorites Are ‘A Venture,’, Anything from ‘Tales From Topographic Oceans’, and all three albums you are playing this tour! I am seeing this tour for the second time and August and I am so happy! I spent all my birthday money on a ticket! I love you guys, and a write back would make my life! Thanks,
Ryan Cassidy
What is a “2LP Show”??
Please, Come to Barcelona……!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please include Dublin!! The lads were on fire last time!
Disappointed with the tickets available from the web site, booked a ticket for Manchester Apollo, in the circle (the only ones that were available), only to find out today that I could have bought one for the front stalls from ticketmaster!
Shouldn’t the best seats be available through the website first?
Regards,
Antony

Please fix the problem with ticket website. Trying over and over again to book VIP Package for Southend England and it doesn’t work!!
For any ticketing issues for the YES 2014 UK & European Tour please contact Customer Support at support@crowdsurge.com.
Hi Stewart, I have just seen your post, and I am having similar problems with tickets for the CP, if I hear anything I will let you know, if you could do the same. Thanks, Mike Griffin
At last, order confirmed, but waiting for e-mail confirmation. you have to put the county in the US state box for it all to work by the looks of it so good luck to Stewart and everyone booking for Cliffs in Southend
Hello out there, I am in the UK and trying to book VIP package, is anyone else having a problem with the booking website? It has a required field asking for a State code despite the fact it shows the UK in the address box. Very frustrating!!!!
Fantastic concert in Lima, Peru, several weeks ago, and above all such FANTASTIC sound ! What loudspeakers do you use – bring your own or a local hire ? Some brief technical specs would be great, as I am a Hifi sound guy since before the prior YES concert in Lima around 1998.
“I believe you make music for the beauty of your soul, your realization of life, and the joy of making music.” – Jon Anderson of Yes talks about the spiritual inspirations behind the likes of “And You And I,” “Long Distance Runaround” and “Starship Troopers,” which Anderson thinks of as his “search for truth and search for an understanding of what God truly is.” Anderson also speaks of his return to the band in the 1980s, when Yes became unlikely MTV stars, all thanks to “Owner Of A Lonely Heart”: http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/jon_anderson_of_yes/
when are the live concerts going to be released that were shown in the 35th anniversery tour program
Thanks for yours tales from Topographic Ocean. My generation is still dreamings with them.
I’ve seen the band at the Cleveland Public Auditorium, even the famed Akron Rubber Bowl, going back to record #1. After all these years, an 18 year old can’t get in??? And I and my two boys are all guitarists, and the oldest is a drummer. They’ve toured the country in a van, several times, recently. So much for keeping the flame alive.
“Must be 21 or older to purchase tickets or attend the show.” Jackson Rancheria policy is totally un-hip.
Desperately need Yes concert(s) in Memphis, TN!!
I have loved and respected YES for 30 years. As the dad of a touring engineer, I only hope they lt you folks get a reasonable amount of home time. You are really on the road a lot. Bless you for your work and take care of yourselves!
Is there a meet and greet available for the Mountain Winery? Clicked the VIP Package link and it brought me to their regular ticketing area.
Hi Joe, unfortunately VIP Package sales have ended and only regular tickets are currently available.
Hi
When it says “YES are currently on a World Tour, playing the 3 albums ‘The Yes Album’, ‘Close To The Edge’ and ‘Going For The One’ in their entirety.” Is this including the 2nd side? I really hope it is as it would make it a brilliant show!
We are trying to plan a Yesfans gathering at Yestival on Aug 3
Does anyone have the show/activities time schedule for the 2 stages!
YES rocks…
Hi, I had tickets for the “Meet and Greet” last night at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. There was some error when we showed up. No VIP items where available. They gentleman running the “Meet and Greet” took my contact info and said he would send the items. We had to be manually slotted into the meet and greet. Apparently I did not get the email telling me where to go to get my (our) photo(s) taken with the band. I asked where we would find the photos and was told to contact someone on the yesworld site.
Yesadmin can you assist me with locating where (URL) the photo(s) are, or at least who to talk with about this? Getting my photo with the band means the world to me. Your assistance appreciated. Thanks, -pat
Hi Pat. One of the team will be in touch with you directly via email
Gregory – If you don’t get the link/password let me know – I can give them to you. I was there at Mountain Winery as well. Chris.
Hi Chris. Yes your help would be appreciated. If you could mail directly to me at gps@scandalis.com. Thanks Gregory Pat Scandalis
I recently saw Yes @ The Hard Rock in Biloxi, Ms., U.S.A., and when I got there, I met this guy who had an extra meet and pass, so he gave me the pass and I went to a room to get my picture taken with the band. As we’re standing in line, some person goes over some details, which I didn’t hear all of, pertaining to access to my pic with the band; how do I get access to the pic I took with the band?!!! If I had that picture, i’d FRAME it, and put it in a VERY obvious place, because i’m proud of that pic, BUT I CANNOT GET ACCESS TO THE PICTURE! Please, if you would, someone inform me on how to get to that picture…
Hi Marc. One of the team will be in touch with you directly via email
So, I see that (for the moment) the band aren’t coming to Barcelona, and I wonder if there are any plans to go there. I’d really like to see Yes in my city! (travelling to other cities+show ticket is quite expensive…)
All of a sudden, the orchestra tickets in port chester are all gone! Is there any chance they will open up? Would love to see the band up close…
Just wanted to thank The Boys for a Fantastic Concert and all that put together the Meet and Greet in Phoenix. It was a memorable time that I will never forget, thanks to all that made it a very special time for me and my best buddy. We drove from Albuquerque New Mexico to see our favorite band and for me it is another notch off my bucket list. but I think I will add more Yes concerts or cruises to that list for sure!
@John Ballard. Your response brought back a few memories. I’m from Albuquerque New Mexico. Born and raised. Saw Yes for the first time in Las Cruces in 1977. Was at the show in Phoenix. Simply fantastic! Glad you and your friend had an opportunity to see the hard core progressive rock fans in Phoenix. We love our Yes! I don’t know. Albuquerque was a great place growing up in the 70′s. Lot’s of great fans there too and lot’s of great concert memories. It’s a toss up but from one Albuquerguian to another, I have to say your presence was probably meant to be and your passion for YES most certainly admired.
I was hoping the group was going to come to Cincinnati. The only date closest to SW Ohio is Indianapolis on Aug. 12th, but I work on Monday nights and won’t be able to see that show. I’d love to see the group schedule a show in Cincinnati right after the Indianapolis show since that show is the last one scheduled on the US tour….
WOW! Got to take my beautiful wife to see YES in Birmingham, Al tonight! it was out of this world! My wife finally got to see them after waiting for 31 years!! She was still in high school back and could not find anyone to take her to see them! she is now a very well established Doctor and lots of life has passed! BUT TONIGHT she had a dream fulfilled and I got to be the one to be there with her!! She cried very softly as she got to hug them and tell them how much they meant to her…Chris Squire wept too! What a perfect evening of Music and Love!!! Very Gratefully; David Bolden
Hello Yes. Hoping for some Drama if there’s an encore in Mount Pleasant, Mich. on Aug. 10.
When are YES returning to AUSTRALIA ? – sick of seeing “Yes touring the USA” , Europe or South America; there’s a big fan base down here as well
Missed the last tour because my ticket for the show in Oberhausen, Germany, was cancelled and I tried to see the show in Osaka but I didn’t get tickets. Now I spent some more money for the show in Luxemburg next year. I hope it will be amazing… and I can forget the last tour…
Yes was inducted into the Goldmine Magazine Music Hall Of Fame May 9…

WHAAAAT.. No Dublin concert in the 2014 Wuropean tour ??
I really wish that YES would play in Oregon. I’m sure that a lot of other people feel the same way.
Please?
I bought the VIP package for The Capitol Theater in Port Chester. However, i only received my theater tickets and not anything related to the VIP. si there somewhere i should go to pick up VIP passes? How does it work?
Hi Tobias. One of our VIP team from future-beat.com will be sending an instructional email within a week before the show. If your email has changed, or was not provided with your ticket order, please email info@future-beat.com. Enjoy the show!
Anyone know what time the meet and greet begins this evening at the Warner? Never did receive any update from Ticketmaster.
Hi John
The Meet and Greet is always after the show.
If your email has changed, or information was not provided with your ticket order, please email info@future-beat.com.
Enjoy the show!
Is there any plans for a tour to Australia in the near future?cheers and rgds
Saw the show this last Saturday night in Huntsville, Alabama. Had VIP tickets. It was great! I’ve been wanting to see these guys live since … well they started putting out records. I left some solar sail posters and a note to give to the band with Alan. I wonder if they guys got them and what did they think?
Looking for two tix to tonights Morristown show. any extras?
Hi – As son of the famous guitar maker, Jose Romanillos, my company is organising a music festival in my father’s home town of Siguenza, near Madrid, in July 2014. The primary reason is to raise funds for his Guitar Museum and help develop academic research.
We would be delighted if Steve Howe and YES could perform on one of the nights. We already have a large array of star performers (artists and groups) performing during the week. Please advise of availability and budget.
Kind regards – Jose Luis Romanillos
Hi Guys: I bought a meet and greet package for Lincoln RI on Fri Aug. 2 and still have not recieved info on when and where to go to meet the band It is now Tues July 30th I am leaving for RI on Thurs Aug 1 and I am coming down from Maine. Could someone please send info to jackmazzotti@comcast.net so I will have the info. I’m getting nervous Thanks Paul Mazzotti
Did anyone get in contact with you, and when? I’m experiencing the same thing – Meet and Great package but no info on times/itinerary.
Hi Dave – please email info@future-beat.com and they’ll give you the info you need.
Hello Yes,
You guys are playing tonight @ Place des Arts, in Montreal. I look forward to see the show.
A suggestion: it will be fantastic if they could play “Heart of the Sunrise” instead of “Roundabout” for the encore. It will be a great ending to the show.
Thank you!
PS. The band could play for the encore (in “rotation”) “Heart of the Sunrise”, “Roundabout” “Long Distance/The Fish” and “South Side of the Sky” for “us”, the
“Fragile lovers”. Thank you once again!
Hi guys I recived info today on meet and greet Anyone else going to RI? email me at above adress
Was in the 5th row at the Cap the other night. Pure magic. My wife and my 7th or 8th Yesshow in the last 15 years. We stopped going when Jon A stopped touring. Drama was a favorite of mine back when, so no conceptual problem with a different front man, but Benoit was iffy and Oliver is talented but in dad’s shadow. Downes is always top notch with minimal cheese and nobody’s stand in. But to the central point: Jon D is absolutely tremendous. He “channels” Jon A in a sense but he is also himself, and his own comments about honoring the music are exactly right. The repertoire could not be played with a combination of more energy and more accuracy. The rest of the boys seem quite a bit happier than on some other tours we’ve seen. Steve making quips. Chris actually smiling – a real smile not a stage smile.The group is integrated, playing as a band more so than a bunch of talented old soloists. The versions of the three albums are stunning and I, and pretty much everyone there on Sunday, hopes the boys come back soon to do another trio – if there’s a vote, obviously Fragile and Relayer should be included. This version of the band could also pull off a full Tales…final comment the non-M&G VIP package is a great deal. For less than double a regular ticket, you get some sweet merch and a great seat. All around the happiest we’ve left a Yes concert experience in decades. We’ll hit every tour they hit the Cap – the Jon D haters should give him a chance. There’s nothing uncomfortable or inauthentic about him at all and his presence seems to have brought the guys up to a new level. Yes? Yes.
Also at the capitol the other night – one row behind you. Was a bit hesitant to go after seeing Yes 8 or 9 times in the 70′s and early eighties. Didn’t want to spoil the memories of the great Yes shows at the Garden, NH Coliseum and the infamous Colt Park (Hartford) show. Am so glad I went – it re affirmed why I became a Yes fan. Close to The Edge was brilliant and the Yes Album was fantastic. hearing Parallels reminded me of the Going for The One Tour. The stage had a curtain in front of it and Yes started playing Parallels as the first song but the curtain did not rise for quite a while – sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Took my teenage son to the show who loved it – gotta pass the love of great music to the next generations.
I need 1 ticket for YES in Wisconsin. Prefer section 1, 2 or 3. Email. Mummymanjp@gmail.com. Thanks.
I saw THE show yesterday in Montreal. It was GREAT. WOW !!!
I’ve seen “Yes” many times, but last night in Montreal (Canada) was awesome. What an incredible show to be a part of and listen to the musical power and creative magic of a selection from the Yes catalog. Although Jon Anderson remains essential to the Yes story, Jon Davidson proved that he is a wonderful addition – I say addition and not replacement purposely. My thanks to the group for an excellent show and for the energy that enhanced the experience. What is next?
Hey everyone. I had the Meet & Greet package for the Las Vegas, NV concert (7-12-13). I still haven’t received my signed CD in the mail yet. Anyone else run across this? I figured it might take a while since they have to ship so many, but I thought I’d ask anyway just in case.
Hi Joseph – our support team will be in touch.
Saw the show at Westbury last night. The sound was very good and I enjoyed the three album concept. If anyone has any doubt about seeing the band with a new lead singer-have no fear. He was awesome as the rest of the band was! They even did an encore that was not on the three albums which was really nice. Hope to see them again soon!
Frank Patti Jr. deployed the JOE PATTI Memorial Reef in Pensacola, Florida, equipped with a “YES” Close to the Edge stainless sign. Sunk off Pensacola Beach on July 31st 2013 it now rests in 50-ft depth. “YES” is now present ‘under the sea’ in the Gulf of Mexico! If you’d like a photo of the sign and sinking, e-mail me at frankjr@pattimarine.com
I am at Twin Rivers listening to your show as I write this and the more Jon sings the more amazed I am . I always said Anderson’s voice had no parallel but I am mistaken Mr. Davidson has magnificent tone and range and deserves to be on the stage singing these epic masterpieces.Bravo !!!!!!
It means a lot for an old fellow like me to bring his 19 yr old musician son to what is the first Yes concert for both of us. If you asked me 10 years ago I would have said it could not happen. Time spins wonderful circles.
todo re bien loco, yes!!
Just got home from YESTIVAL. An absolutely amazing day! Every band was top notch. This was the 7th time I’ve seen YES. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about Jon Anderson not being there, but John Davison is fantastic! Hearing my favorite album, Going For The One was a real treat. The last time I heard the entire album was the 1977 Going For The One tour. Really great to hear it again. Can’t wait until the next YESTIVAL.
WOW! ,
I’m a 2x “big C” surviver, and you guys MORE than exceeded my expactations!Thanks for a GREAT show!
Love you guys!
Judy
Hey Guys Great meet and greet at Lincoln,RI on Friday The guys in the band are really down to earth I was wondering the website to get the picture of the band and myself If. you could contact me with that info it would ba e appriciated Thanks
Hi Paul – one of the team will be in touch
Hi Paul – please email info@future-beat.com and they’ll give you the info you need.
I was at the festival in Camden. had the best time ever! YES was fantastic as always. The Musical Box was a real treat. Is this something the band will do every year? And if so, will it be in Camden? Great venue for this.
jj
100% agree ! Having Roger Dean there signing his artwork (some of which was surprisingly reasonably priced) was a great touch. The opening bands were great (especially the spot-on Genesis show by Musical Box), and Yes were in top form and played all three albums, not just the scheduled two. They were even better than when I saw them in Bethlehem PA four months ago. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that if you don’t like Jon Davison as their singer, it’s only because you haven’t heard him – no disrespect to Jon Anderson intended.
BTW even a critic had some nice words to say about the show, imagine that:

We’re ready for next year’s Yestival !
the Yestival in Camden nj was a glorious evening, I arrived in time to enjoy THE MUSICAL BOX’s stellar rendition of Foxtrot
and YES’s magnificent performance with their new singer. Its the first time i’ve been at the Susquehanna Bank Center ,it’s
an excellent venue with its open structure. I watched the sunset as The Musical Box played and a cool breeze flowed through
night. After the concert I took the ferry to Philadelphia , went to the local pub for a few , then to the hotel.
ps. NJ drivers are the dumbest in the nation , I got rear ended on 95N on my way back to NYC, none damage to my car
or myself,the idiots behind me weren’t hurt either. I hope there’s another Yestival in Camden next summer.
I worked for Pat Diceasare in early 70′s when he brought yes to the civic arena in pittsburgh, Yes is my favorite band of musicians I love their music, anyway, I just saw they were at carnagie music library near homestead pa yesterday and sunday and I just found that out. I missed my chance to see the band again before I die. damn
Yestival was a true magical event. All of the bands performed wonderfully and the music and musicianship was at the highest level. It was great and a real treat to hear all three Yes albums, The Yes Album, Close to the Edge and Going for the One, all in original sequence and in their entirety. I would love to see Yestival as an annual or ongoing event. Bravo!
Gentlemen, last night’s show at Cain Park in the Rock & Roll Capital of the World, Cleveland, OH, was remarkable in so many ways. First, performing THREE albums in their entirety. Played with energy, precise skill and passion. You reminded us that The Yes Album and Close to the Edge are STILL brilliant works, immortal monuments to your distinct musical vision. And Going for the One was a great new experience for one who didn’t have that one memorized in my brain and heart. And hearing John sing was a revelation. How CAN you sing in that high a range for that long?! Sounds like the songs were HIS… and that’s about the highest compliment there is. Important to add, the sound was superb in the venue, showcasing all your instruments in tandem with an effective Yes-themed AV show behind you. Truly a feast for the ears and the eyes. FINALLY, you all are aging very nicely within the space of your band and your music. You were smiling, you seemed to really be enjoying the audience applause and appreciation, and you certainly gave us the feeling we had experienced something special. While you may do this night in and night out, you just couldn’t perform with such enthusiasm and not love what you are doing. Congrats, and thanks for a truly fantastic experience!
The show at Cain park in Cleveland was astonishing. Could not believe how good they sounded. thoroughly enjoyed myself.
As a teenager in the 70′s I used to steal my older brother’s Yes albums. So glad I was able to make it to the concert at Cain Park in Cleveland. What a great show. One of the best concerts I have ever attended. Please come back next year!
Yestival, Camden, NJ, August 3, 2013 – Arrived at Yestival while Volto! was jamming. They had the sound turned up to 11; the place was shaking. Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy followed. Enjoyed hearing Carl talking, introducing each song. Got a chuckle out of his senior moment, having to “tap dance” as he tried to remember his bass player’s name. They were great. What great music. Renaissance was next. They were followed by The Musical Box, with a great reproduction of Genesis from 1972. They were awesome. Great musicians in their own right. Then Yes. I was apprehensive. You read beforehand some naysayers talking about lack of energy. You wonder about a new singer. I even saw a youtube video where Jon’s voice seemed a little too high.
Firebird Suite, Yes takes the stage. The tape lead in to Close to the Edge starts. Steve Howe is animated and full of energy tonight. On And You and I, Steve Howe with a little playfulness on the intro. Loved Chris Squire breaking out the harmonica. Yes is on tonight. Geoff Downes is great on the keyboards. Alan White superb. Jon Davison is singing great, perfectly in tune. Siberian Khatru is awesome, an explosion of music, where Yes is showing they are the greatest rock band ever. Not the greatest “progressive” rock band – the greatest rock band, no qualifiers needed. I tell my wife that Siberian Khatru alone was worth the price of admission, and then Steve Howe says “We’re supposed to play two albums tonight, but we are going to play three albums tonight.” Out comes the lab steel guitar and Steve is wailing out the opening of Going for the One. It is on Going for the One, Turn of the Century, Parallels, and Wonderous Stories where Jon Davison really shines. Wow – Parallels, another great, powerful, rocking song. Awaken finishes the Going for the One album, and on to The Yes Album, the an encore of Roundabout. It was all great. Here are some other thoughts on the night – “What is Chris Squire doing?!” This was a good thing as it just blows the mind when his bass would just come thundering in when no other band would have that. “He’s freaking Godzilla.” The greatest bass in rock and roll. “Steve Howe has more talent in his little finger than …” He was simply amazing all night. How about the new intro into Roundabout! Alan White brought the power all night. Love it. Geoff Downes – superb. Jon Davison – great.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Yes for a great, fantastic show.
Great to see Yes again in Milwaukee. The band sounded terrific. It was my 13-year-old’s first concert, and I am thrilled HE chose Yes! He thought they should play (don’t curse me) some 90215 and Big Gen pieces. It was a great show, thanks and come back often!
WOW, absolutely amazing show last nite in INDY. Thanks guys
My husband, son, and I saw Yes last night in Indianapolis. It was wonderful. This was my 9-year-old’s first concert and he was so excited. The seats we had were great, we could see each member of the band very well. Hearing the three albums in entirety was such a treat. My husband and I have been Yes fans since we were kids in the 1980′s. I know that is not as far back as some can claim! We really want our son to love good music and listen to talented musicians, and we are so glad he also loves Yes. When they began to play “Perpetual Change”, he shouted, “This is my favorite song!” We had such a happy night and many memories made. I must say that I miss Rick and Jon Anderson, but I thought that Geoff and Jon did a fantastic job. Always good to hear Steve, Alan, and Chris! Can’t wait to see Yes the next time they come to Indy!!!
The US Tour was fantastic! We saw the band twice – in SF and at the Mountain Winery – and both shows ROCKED! We also watched the band play their way across North and South America on youtube and we’ve purchased tickets to two shows next year in the UK. We’re making the most of this “once in a lifetime” opportunity to hear three of our all-time favorite albums performed live with VIP packages and up-front seating. Thanks so much!!!
Yes belongs in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (unless they don’t want that…but anyway). Saw them August 1 in Westbury and was reminded of how great they are. I consider myself lucky that someone had Yessongs for me to listen to in the 70s. It was Rock to me and much more. Chris Squire’s bass helped me fall in love with the bass guitar. Put them in the Hall Of Fame…NOW!!!!
European tour 2014 : Play in Lisbon Portugal, PLEASE!!!!!
I every time spent my half an hour to read this web site’s content daily along with a mug of coffee.
Saw the guys in Michigan on Aug 10. Sat in the 2nd row on the left in front of Steve Howe. Almost 3 hours of the most unbelievable playing I have ever seen or heard. Saw the band in the 70s a few times, they have lost nothing. These incredible songs are masterpieces – Yours is no Disgrace, Starship Trooper, Awaken, Siberian Khatru. It has reawakened my love for this band and there music. Steve has always been my favorite guitar player, have seen Clapton and Jimmy Page, not even in the same discussion. How can he hit virtually thousands of individual chord sequences and riffs and not miss a single one. It is almost humanly impossible, but he does it. As far as the John Anderson issue, I just do not think he can withstand this type of touring anymore. Would love to see one last huge production with large stage set with him and John D. sharing vocals, even harmonizing, would that not be cool. Another great thing is these guys are truly a bunch of nice guys who are out there playing for us the fans. Thanks YES for the tour – come back as soon as you can.
I don’t see one of the t-shirts from the U.S. Summer tour available in the store. It was black, had the yes logo on the front, and the tour itinerary on the back. Will you be making that t-shirt available on the online store?
I hope the European Tour 2014 dates aren’t closed yet, because I would love to see you playing again in Lisbon, Portugal !!!
Saw the best band touring in Milwaukee- took the whole family it was my daughters first concert and what else but to see the best perform live!! They were fantastic – Steve, Alan, and Chris were flawless, and Geoff and Jon were tight , a perfect night, excellent weather, what else can one ask for. Loved the 3 album concept, each song was wonderful especially perpetual change!! Miss Jon and Rick prescence on stage but the best will be saved for last when thet will perform the grand finale together again when the curtain rises to show them once again. I look forward to it.
Any chance of a DVD of this tour?
Thank You YES, for all the Great Music, Years and Dedication to your Music!
I’ve been lucky enough to see the shows since 1970..30 or forty in all ,including solo and duet performances and never have I been disappointed..thank you for thee continued unmatched level of musicianship that you bring ..I will always consider Yes to be the most inspiring in my own musical journey ..thank you again
The concert in Curitiba – Brazil was amazing. It would be a dream to win a ticket for Royal Albert Hall, if I win I’ll set my honey moon to London, because I’m going to get married on 2014 may 3rd. My fiance liked very much also from the show in Curitiba, I presented her Yes as I’m a big fan since the 80′s.
2014 A big Yes Year, For my 2014 wish list
I would like to get a chance for a meet and greet with all Yes members Past and present to thank them for 45 years of enjoyment they have given me and how music, true music can effect ones life. Thanks for all the memories.
Jon, Chris, Steve, Rick, Bill, Alan, Tony, Trevor H, Geoff Downs, Jon D., Trevor R., Patrick, Ben, Billy, Oliver, Igor, Tom, and to Peter Banks may you rest in peace you left your pain here.
God bless all of you
william
My first time I heard Yes I knew they along with Kraftwerk were lightyears ahead of all others. Thanks forever.
Yes Is A Great And The Best Band.
Saw them the first time during the solos tour – they have to love music , otherwise at there age they would have retired , Bless them.
Love all these positive comments from you fellow Yes Heads- right on to all of you. I heard that the band is suppose to record another album this Fall?? Can anyone confirm this in the making. Peace
Any chance you guys would come to Sweden or Finland next summer, because it’s too expensive for me to get to Denmark, Sweden is a whole other thing though.
I am so delighted to have won a set of the High Vibration CD’s! From when I, as a 10 year old, heard the opening bars of “Yours Is No Disgrace” in a “listening booth” in John Menzies on Edinburgh’s Princes Street, I have been a follower of Yes music. This is an absolute delight and especially in the week when I ordered my tickets for next year’s Glasgow Gig! What chance of having the band sign the CD Box? But just a hug he THANK YOU for putting a huge smile on my face!!!!!!!!
The Word Is YES
Yes, opening for Black Sabbath – 1969, Chicago – indelible memory – looking forward to the 3 record tour in the US, or perhaps I will take a plane to the UK…….
Hello, I purchased the high vibration sacd collection box set. The box that holds the sacds has a tear in the seam at the top. The sacds sound great and nothing is wrong with them. I simply would like to get a replacement box sent to me. Cdjapan (where I purchased the box set) has been unresponsive to my request and Warner Music Japan has denied assistance. Can you please help me get a replacement box? I can send pictures of the damaged box.
Thanks,
Brian

Dear Rock and Roll Fans,
I am sure you hear reasons why this band or that band should be in the Hall of Fame. For me the band is Yes and the reason is that their music may have saved my life – literally.
Let me explain: I spent my teenage years in a small town in South Georgia called Albany. It is isolated (200 miles from Atlanta), small in population (about 90,000) and close minded in attitudes. Sure, there were some good things (it was the birthplace of Ray Charles), but is very oppressive. For example, Albany is one of the few cities where Martin Luther King failed to achieve his goals due to the intransigence of the white community. According to one historian the Albany Movement was “one of the most stunning defeats in King’s career.” Albany was not just politically conservative, but also culturally. In the 1970s there was only one TV station and six radio stations, all of them Top 40 pop, soul, or country. Don’t get me wrong – I like all kinds of music, but “You Light Up My Life” played every hour for months on end?
So what did we teenagers do to fill the void? We did what most kids did in the 1970s, we partied… hard. With a few six packs and some strong smoke, we would drive into the woods and go at it until late into night. I still have memories of barreling down those dirt roads with live oak branches overhead, spanish moss hanging down like greybeards caressing our smoke-filled cars. The eight-track sound track would vary, but our homegrown favorites were the Allman Brothers. We would all take a ride on Skydog’s slide as he carried us into the stratosphere!
What does all this have to do with Yes? One night I was riding with my buddies when someone put in a compilation tape. I remember the first two songs were by MC5 and Steve Miller. They were good, but it was the next track that did it for me. From the first chord it was as if Heaven had opened up and rained down on me, only the drops were notes. The music was Yes’ Starship Trooper. I had never heard of the group or the song before. It is one of life’s great mysteries why certain music clicks with certain people, but this country boy from South Georgia had found soul mates.
So I sought out Yes music. I saved up $5 from my lunch money and bought my first record – Relayer. Even though that was 40 years ago, I still can picture quite clearly the first time I listened to it. Today’s teenagers may have a hard time understanding how special new music was back then. The first listening was an event, a ritual. In this case it was after getting a buzz with my buddies and coming home late at night. I put my headphones on, placed the stylus on the first groove and was gone.
I entered another world – the music providing a topographic map for my imagination. After all, isn’t that what the best music does? Offer a portal to another place and time? Others have probably had similar experiences when they first heard Chuck Berry or Beatles. And it wasn’t just the music, it was the wholly different universe musicians inhabit – sideburns and moptops, Nehru jackets and leather jackets. So it also was with Yes with their Roger Dean record covers and posters. Through their music and art, this Georgia boy, had found a ticket to an alternative reality. This brings me to how the band may have saved my life.
As I mentioned, Albany Georgia was a very repressive city and many of its inhabitants found escape through alcohol and hard drugs, often with disastrous results. Of my half dozen closest friends, all became hooked on liquor, heroin and all ended up in prison (one for life). I somehow managed to escape relatively unscathed (so far). When I ask myself how I managed this, I realize there is no easy answer because there are multiple influences on one’s life. However, the one thing that set me apart in my teen years was my passion for Yes’ music and culture. Sure, my friends had heard of them, but they did not have the devotion. As a teen I sought out the band in Creem, Circus and other magazines. It was there that I found out the band members were vegetarians (I became one, much to the chagrin of my traditional Southern family!) and they read J.R.R. Tolkien (I had never heard of him, but probably owe my level of literacy to consequently reading his novels). These were well and good, but I have come to realize that it was the positivity inherent in their music that offered hope at a very fragile time of my life.
Four decades later I would probably be considered a pretty poor fan. I’ve been to a total of three of their concerts and now listen to their music only on occasion. But when I do, it reminds of that intangible spark that somehow inspired me to be a better person. There are a lot of great groups that deserve to be honored, but I can only speak to one. For the reasons above, I ask you to vote for Yes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Sincerely, Mark Yates
Finally! Yes nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Currently 4th on web site fan voting, behind KISS, Nirvana and Deep Purple. I can understand Nirvana and Deep Purple, but I will never understand KISS in any context. But, what can you do?
The greatest progressive rock band of all time. Six decades of great albums and world wide tours.Yes belongs in the R& R Hall of fame! Go to Rollingstone.com and cast your vote to help Yes get the recognition they truly deserve!
Looking forward to see you on May 17, 2014 in Padova… I’ve been listening to your MUSIC since I was 16 (many years ago) and fell in love with it all at once… Unfortunately at that time I lived in a small city south of Italy and big bands never toured down there (or at least quite few of them did, but I also hadn’t that much money to move and go through the shows). Now I live in a city which allows me to see concerts of all (or most of them) the bands I like and one of those it’s of course you: YES! Thanks, guys for giving me the chance to see you, I’m really glad you’re coming to Italy and since I bought the ticket I am listening to the three albums (but not only those three) day and night (my wife is sick and tired of it)! Thanks again, guys for continuing touring and for letting me see your show! C U there! “I’ve seen all good people turn their heads each day, so satisfied I’m on my way (to Padova)…
lol I’ve tried that same strategy with the guys several times. Even met Jon and Chris on a few occasions. Their oldest and biggest fan in Phoenix Arizona and a bass player who’s followed and learned from Chris since I was twelve. Of course our guys have most likely met thousands and thousands of people. But Mr. Squire,.. certainly you remember the name Hayenga and recall my questions about Bachs Bass configuration theory? I’m sure if I’m not blessed in winning the box set you would find it in your heart to send me your own personal autographed copy. Pretty please? lol Seriously though,, having the pleasure of YES in my lifetime has been enough to know what a gift its been. As Yes fans, we have all deserve the chance. After all, we are the best fans in the world today. Without a doubt. I’m certainly grateful for that alone and I’m sure all my fellow fans are too. Good luck to all who entered. YES!!!!!!!
amo a YES,los amo de verdad, todo se lo debo a mi papá que me enseño a mis idolos, y me mostro lo que era musica de verdad.. mi unico sueño es conocerlos, solo eso
love you much much much much much much much much much much much much Yes, really i love you i love you so much..

Dear Yesworld admin. I am trying to buy 2 VIP packages for 2nd May, Glasgow, and after filling all the forms and registering, applying payment by card… nothing comes as a confirmation… Just a blinking screen and time out in couple of minutes. Why the link on this page is offering tickets, gives you price and… and does not work? It is really frustrating… I posted an email to Crowdsurge as asked on this page, but they say automatically that my orders book is empty… What is going on?
Hi Mariusz. One of our team will be in touch with you today.
OK thanks!
Hi again! I think I managed to buy my 2 VIP tickets today. It may be of some use for other folks from UK, when filling the form and asked for ZIP/state code , which is for American residents only: when I left it blank I was not accepted, I think. Today I put “–” in the field and my order has been confirmed! Success at last! We are going to the Yes concert at Armadillo, 2nd May!
I am not sure I am worthy to even comment here. I doubt that I could ever vocalize words excellent enough to reflect all the wonder, joy and godspeed that YES has scored and stored in my heart, if not the worlds heart. I have YES on 45 rpm, on Reel to Reel, on LPs, on Cassettes, used to have YES on 8 track even. Now I have Videos, Discs, Books. Starting in 1973, I never missed an American tour until 2012. Each year YES was as wonderful as could be. I especially loved the Mud Island, Memphis, Tennessee show, the venue is intimate and our third row seats made “eye contact” possible between musician and listeners. (or so it seemed). During the 1970′s, this band I was in, did a pretty good job of playing Yours Is No Disgrace Studio version. Rehearsals and delving into the thoughts and sounds of this YES music was a privilege. I had a blast. I used my Kawai Acoustic Piano with a pick-up and mic’s, B3 with full pedals w/ a144 and a147 Leslie and a LoudSpeaker. My next dream will be to attend European Tour YES performance.
gracias por integrar este maravillos grupo amante de esta maravillosa banda

en ce moment je réécoute “going for the one” avec une pointe de nostalgie car c’était un des meilleurs album parmi les autres aussi bon relayer tale from topographic ocean etc anderson est pour moi le meilleur chanteur et compositeur yes c’est anderson le coeur meme du nectar sans anderson yes n’est plus yes n’en déplaise a mr squire qui se prend ^pour le boss et qui a osé viré le plus gros pilier du groupe car mr squire meme si celui çi est un bon bassiste il peut etre facilement remplacé sans qu’on s’en rende compte il n’a guère composé et sans anderson il n’en était pas capable bref c’est un pion et non le pilier le boss c’est anderson j’ai écouté awaken version 2013 avec le nouveau chanteur qui a la meme voix que le benoit qui lui imitait jon avec les techniques on peut aisément reproduire une voix bref messieurs les musiciens engagés par mr anderson a l’époque sachez que vous n’ètes que des ouvriers au service du pdg qu’est mr anderson regretable car yes a perdu son ame et son talent heureusement il reste les anciens albums qui relate une période dorée ou il y avait un groupe génial avec un chanteur hors normes et talentueux mr jon andersonn
me as a YES fan for 30 years here in the philippines..for me it’s a miracle if i can see in person and watch YES live concert…one thing for sure is that i still listen all of YES albums and solos almost everyday from the day that i first hear the yes music until now..so goodluck i hope you’ll won the rock and roll hall of fame 2014..god bless you guys!!
