Spring is in the air. Rock music festivals are in abundance this summer.
Yes and Asia are meeting up in Indio CA June 26 2009. That will be the opening night for the Summer 2009 a twenty six show tour.
Asia (formed by Steve Howe of YES in 1981) just completed a early spring tour. They tour Europe mostly all of March and April 2009.
Steve will be playing both bands each show. Nice little paycheck. Well deserved i am sure.
Yes (formed by Jon Anderson and Chris Squire in 1968) has continued on for over forty years and still retains a large following. Many generations of folks have become fans.
Most unfortunately Jon Anderson will be excluded from the tour due to acute respiratory failure earlier in the year.
Benoit David will sing for Yes. David is singer for a Yes cover band, Close to the Edge.
David also join a band called Mystery in 2007. Benoit David is from Canada.
Oliver Wakeman will take the place on the keyboards for his father Rick Wakeman.
Anderson is expected to return as soon as his health is permitted.
There have many artist in this band as we know. One thing is for sure each and every band member has done nothing less than perfection for "Yes."
I saw "Anderson and Bruford an evening of Yes music plus Wakeman and Howe." That's the name announcement printed on my ticket stub. This show was at the Shoreline Amphitheatre Sep 9 1989.
Then again May 17 1991 "Yes" at the Oakland Coliseum. The reunion tour i think it was.
Alan White, Bill Bruford both played drums together. Tony Kaye, Rick Wakeman both played the keyboards together. Trevor Rabin, Steve Howe both played gautir together.
The stage was in the middle of the coliseum. That show was killer. The idea of all of toghether was unheard of let only playing all together in synce and perfection in timing and sound. Every seat was perfect having the stage in the middle.
Watching everyone play and the dual drummers was insanity at your feet! that was crowded stage of awesome people working hard for you and to enjoy.
