Fans of the progressive rock band Yes will be pleased with this news: A tour by three of the band's more influential members.
Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman are on tour together, under the collective name ARW, performing the music of Yes and more. The threesome will bring the tour to the Capitol Theatre, Salt Lake City, on Thursday, Nov. 17.
Anderson was the founding lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist for Yes, with Chris Squire (who died in 2015). Anderson led the band from 1968 to 1980, returning from 1982 to 1988, and from 1990 to 2008.
Rabin was guitarist and keyboardist for Yes from 1982 to 1994, and was prominent on the band's 1983 comeback album "90125," which yielded the hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart." Rabin has also scored numerous movies, including "Gone in 60 Seconds," "National Treasure" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
Wakeman joined Yes in 1971, and served five stints as keyboardist. He was instrumental in Yes' early-'70s albums "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge," and the band's seminal live album "Yessongs."
