Yes plans its first symphonic tour
Prog rock band Yes will spend its summer touring North America with a symphony orchestra. The extensive Yessymphonic jaunt, the first of its kind for the band, kicks off on July 25 in San Diego.
Yes--Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White--has begun overdubs for its next record, produced by Tim Wiedner (Seal), according to Yes' official website.
In 2000, Yes released the double-CD "House of Yes: Live From House of Blues" (BMG/Beyond).
