Call it a true classic rock triple header–and the quintessential live concert experience.
The iconic progressive rock band, YES, will be kicking off a North America tour on March 1st and performing three of their classic albums in their entirety; The YES Album from 1971, Close to the Edge from 1972 and their 1977 release, Going for the One. Music audiences will experience the albums, each representing an important milestone in YES’ career and performed from beginning to end.
The tour will mark the first time since 1973 that YES have performed an album onstage in its entirety.
YES consists of Chris Squire on bass, Steve Howe on guitar, Alan White on drums , Geoff Downes on keyboardist [sic] and newest edition to the band, singer, Jon Davison.
I had the honor and pleasure of speaking with bassist and foundering member, Chris Squire about the tour as well as the album selection process for this exciting undertaking.

Robert: I heard the good news that YES was going back on tour in the spring and will be performing three of your primary albums in their entirety. I assume the selection process was difficult, how did you settle on these three?
Chris Squire: It probably could have been any of our albums. We just narrowed it down, probably because we know the material of most of those. There is only one track on the YES album that we rarely played, which is actually a fairly small track called “Adventure”. It shouldn’t be too difficult for us as it’s a fairly simple thing. That’s why we chose those LPs [Both laughing] actually.
