Last year, prog rockers Yes played 1971’s The Yes Album, 1972’s Close to the Edge and 1977’s Going for the One in their entirety in front of a sold out audience at Cain Park. This year, they’re back on the road but for the current tour they plan to play 1971’s Fragile and Close to the Edge in their entirety. They’ll also perform material from their new studio album Heaven and Earth that’s due out in early July. As was the case last year, Jon Davison has replaced original singer Jon Anderson to tour with bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White and keyboardist Geoff Downes. The group performs at Hard Rock Live on July 23. Tickets are $45 to $79.50. They go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday through Ticketmaster.

  1. I gather the band will never perform “Drama” in its entirety — which delivered a rockier sound, as Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman gave way to Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes….and actually pointed the way to the masterful arena/prog-rock sound of Asia.
