Prog-rock kings Yes play Fragile in its entirety for summer 2014 concert tour

Yes band
Prog-rock band Yes is mounting a summer 2014 tour with a unique theme: The 35-date excursion will feature the band performing its groundbreaking 1971 album Fragile in its entirety for the first time.
The concert tour includes a stop in Grand Prairie at Verizon Theatre on Wednesday, August 6.
The band will also perform in its entirety the 1972 album Close to the Edge. They'll follow that with an encore consisting of their greatest hits and tracks from a new album, Heaven and Earth, which comes out July 8.
Yes started the "album-in-its-entirety" theme on its 2013 tour when it performed three classic albums in one concert: The Yes AlbumClose to the Edge and Going for the One.
The tour begins in the Northeast on July 8 in Boston, then crosses through the Midwest and down into the South. It ends on the West Coast, wrapping August 24 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
The current lineup includes bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboardist Geoff Downes and singer Jon Davison.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
