Prog-rock icons Yes will spend much of the next month or so on the road on the Royal Affair Tour, and to ramp up anticipation for the trek, the band premiered a new documentary film on June 7.
Titled YES 50: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, the nearly 40-minute doc features concert footage from recent live performances and interviews with band members Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Alan White, Billy Sherwood and Jon Davison, in addition to Jay Schellen, Tony Kaye, Trevor Horn and Roger Dean.
You can watch the whole thing below:
As for the Royal Affair tour, Yes will be joined each night by Asia (featuring the return of founding member Steve Howe), John Lodge of the Moody Blues and Carl Palmer’s ELP Experience, truly a special bill of English prog/rock royalty (hence the name).
