Yes to perform at The Fox Long-time Yes fans, rejoice! Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman are proud to announce that after a hiatus of 25 years, they are to reform the definitive Yes line-up as – Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman (ARW). Yes will perform live at the Fabulous Fox Wednesday, November 9 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $100, $75, $65, $55, $45 and are available online at metrotix. com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office. Since they last played together in 1990 on the highly successful Yes ‘Union Tour’, there have been various hybrid versions of the band.
However, none featured the iconic voice of Jon Anderson, the outstanding guitar talent of Trevor Rabin, and the keyboard wizardry of Rick Wakeman. The aim of the band will be to restore the standard of excellence in performance that they established with their 1990 shows - which saw Yes members past and present come together for the first (and only) time of the legendary band's career. "To be able to sing and perform with Rick and Trevor at this time in my life is a treasure beyond words," explains Jon. "I'm so excited to create new music and revisit some of the classic work we created many years ago, it's going to be a musical adventure on so many new levels." "Trevor and I have wanted to play Yes music together since the Union Tour," adds Rick. "And as for so many of us, there is no Yes music without Jon. The 'Holy Trinity of Yes' is for me, very much a dream come true." The most successful prog rock group of all time, Yes was co-founded by Jon Anderson and the late Chris Squire in 1968 and went on to sell millions of units with releases such as Fragile, Close to The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Going For The One and 90125, as well as embarking on several record-breaking world tours.
