NASHVILLE (Billboard) - Yes will begin a North American arena tour April 15 in Seattle, featuring the classic lineup of Rick Wakeman (keyboards), Steve Howe (guitar), Jon Anderson (vocals), Alan White (drums) and Chris Squire (bass).


Each date will feature a specially designed set by Roger Dean, the artist responsible for the band's album covers.

The 35th anniversary tour is in support of the just-released "Ultimate Yes" collection (Rhino), a two-CD set of hits and essentials, plus a newly recorded bonus CD with five unreleased tracks, including the new song "Show Me." The set was released in the U.K. last summer, where it debuted at No. 10 on the album chart.

Additionally, the tour also supports the companion DVD release of "Yesspeak," an extensive documentary the band created with Robert Garofalo (Classic Pictures) featuring more than three hours of interview and performance footage.

Alan White actually has lived in Seattle for some time, which is probably why they're kicking off the tour up here. I like the old Yes stuff and i've never seen them live, so this might be worth checking out. Can they still play? Maybe I should search STG to see if they got any recent Yes boots...
