Yes and The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra 

Prog-rockers from the '70s backed by orchestra


By Daniel Bernstein

For their latest world tour, long time classic rock staple Yes adds an extra touch of "classic" to their act, as they are playing backed by a full orchestra. For this evening only, their help will come not from just any mammoth collection of violins, cellos, etc., but by the world famous Hollywood Bowl Orchestra under conductor John Mauceri. They'll be offering tunes from their new CD Magnification, but after 30 odd years of performance, they know that fans demand hits like "Roundabout," "I've Seen All Good People" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" sprinkled in with the new numbers. Jon Anderson's vocals have barely lost a thing over the decades, while Steve Howe's guitar, Chris Squire's bass and Alan White's keyboards have if anything gotten even sharper.
