YES GO SYMPHONIC

 (Los Angeles-AP) -- It seems that Yes performing live with a symphony should be a gimme, but they've never done that before this summer. Bassist Chris Squire says the orchestras have no problem learning their music. He says they're professionals, and a lot of them are Yes fans anyway. He says the audience doesn't always know how to behave but they usually go crazy by the end. Drummer Alan White says they wanted to keep it informal, so they ask the orchestra players to not wear tuxedos. You can bet White isn't wearing one. He says he can't play in anything but shorts because he sweats a lot.

Yes will put out an album recorded with an orchestra called "Magnification" on September eleventh.
