This is the last part of the article:] The band is actually in San Luis Obispo recording a new album, called Keys to Ascension, and the concerts at the Fremont will be used for live cuts. Jon Anderson, the lead singer and a San Luis Obispo resident since August, said he is confident that the new album will be Yes at its best. "We mastered the craft of making Yes music," he said Thursday during an interview at the Fremont Theatre. "I can honestly say these are master works that we are going to perform." The band is looking forward to holding a concert at a small venue such as the Fremont, he added. "It's a new adventure to play in a smaller venue," Anderson said. The album, and the concert, will feature songs from the '70s and a number of new pieces, including an 18-minute song titled, That That Is. Yes fans will be happy to know that another concert with the original members may be in the works. Anderson said the band is talking about doing an open-air concert maybe in the San Luis Bay Inn. "We definitely want to do something in April," he said. The current band members are Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Rick Wakeman and drummer Alan White. Yes formed in 1968 in the United Kingdom. Two of their best-known songs are Roundabout and Owner of a Lonely Heart.
