I can't find a mention of this anywhere here.
So far only North American dates are announced: http://yesworld.com/ywtour.html
All original members except Wakeman's sprog, who hopefully isn't the Tory supporting celebrity fuckwit his father is.

I am sacred that Geir and I will be the only ones who care about this.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 02:48 (eighteen years ago)
No, I care, though it's not the same for me without the old "fuckwit". It's not Yes without him. Glad I caught their 30th Anniversary tour a few years back.

why did wakeman opt out, poor health? sick of the same ol' tunes?
― gershy, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 03:57 (eighteen years ago)
According to this interview his health can't put up with any more long tours.

Thanks for the link.
God I hope they come to Melbourne.

Having seen Yes live in 2001 without Wakeman (on the Magnification tour, with the orchestra), and again a couple of years later with Wakeman back in the line-up, my considered opinion is that they're a vastly better live band without him.

I'll go to this. I couldn't care less what a "Tory fuckwit" is. Original members, does that mean Banks instead of Howe?
― Bill Magill, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 15:32 (eighteen years ago)
It'll be with Howe and White.

I'm buying my dad tickets to this for his birthday.

By 'original members' I meant not J. D. Fortune, for example.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 21:43 (eighteen years ago)
I don't really care unless they come up with some newly composed and recorded material which is at least their best since 1980.
― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 26 March 2008 22:39 (eighteen years ago)
I missed the recent tours; may check this one out.
― unperson, Thursday, 27 March 2008 01:16 (eighteen years ago)
I would totally go to this if it were coming nearer to me.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 27 March 2008 01:44 (eighteen years ago)
Magnification is their best since 1980.

He looks ill tho.
― Mark G, Thursday, 5 June 2008 13:23 (eighteen years ago)
he sounds really sick; acute respiratory failure!

Their biggest UK hit came in 1977 with Wondrous Stories, which reached number seven in the chart.
how bizarre
― Dominique, Thursday, 5 June 2008 15:12 (eighteen years ago)
They weren't really a singles band to be honest. Oh hold on, Owner Of A Lonely Heart surely? Anyway, they should get Trevor Horn back in.

owner must have charted higher in the US
― akm, Thursday, 5 June 2008 16:27 (eighteen years ago)
"Owner" was #1 in the US. The video was on MTV (and "Friday Night Videos") constantly.

Oh, man. Jon's being ill makes me sad. Here's wishing him a quick recovery.
