One of the most convoluted chapters in the history of progressive rock titans Yes -- and there are many -- is Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. In 1989 vocalist Jon Anderson, drummer Bill Bruford, keyboardist Rick Wakeman, and guitarist Steve Howe released the gold-selling Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe album (complete with Roger Dean cover art) and embarked on a tour called "An Evening of Yes Music Plus." The Evening of Yes Music Plus DVD, directed by Jim Yukich, was filmed at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA -- the exact date is not listed in the credits -- and it presents a nearly equal blend of songs from the new album and Yes classics.
Practical Effects
Tony Levin's Chapman Stick adds alien texture to Yes canon.
Acting
Anderson's spiritual showman energy hasn't aged a day.
Production
Early 90s multicam capture that's somehow not embarrassing.
Director
James Yukich
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This concert captures peak 'two Yeses' era — the actual Yes with Trevor Rabin was touring simultaneously, making this the prog equivalent of a custody arrangement.
The 'Plus' in the title technically refers to additional musicians, but everyone knew it was lawyer-mandated distance from the trademarked 'Yes' name.
