NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2004--YESSPEAK and Live Acoustic Set Presented For One Night Only(TM) In 25 Markets Across the U.S.
YESSPEAK, the new YES documentary, will premiere on the big screen Monday, January 26th at 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST) in exclusive screenings at select
Regal Entertainment Group (REG, NYSE:RGC) theatres across the country. The One Night Only(TM) big screen premiere presented in REG theaters will be
followed by an exclusive, live acoustic performance from the band simulcast to participating theatres. The special in-theatre documentary presentation
and concert event is being held on the eve of the January 27th release of the YESSPEAK DVD (Classic Pictures).
The special documentary and live acoustic performance presented by Regal CineMedia (RCM)(SM) entertainment services, AEG LIVE, AEG TV, Classic
Pictures, and Tenth Street Entertainment, will take place in REG theaters in 25 cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Las Vegas,
Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., among others. Advance tickets are now available at event location box offices and at
www.RegalCM.com for $10.00. Event day tickets will
be available at event location box offices and online for $12.50. All event attendees will receive a complimentary YES poster at theatre locations.
Immediately following the YESSPEAK screening, YES will perform a 40-minute acoustic set live from Los Angeles, which will be distributed via satellite
to participating theatres using Regal's Digital Content Network(SM) system. The exclusive acoustic set will feature some of the newly recorded
material the band performed for the 35th Anniversary Ultimate YES Collection, as
well as other classic YES songs.
"We're very excited to be able to present this documentary to the fans this way, it's something we've wanted to do for some time. It's a great way for
them to preview the DVD, and a great way for us to do something unique at the same time. It's something we're quite proud of, and are excited to get
it out there," said YES bass guitarist Chris Squire.
YESSPEAK features vocalist Jon Anderson, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Rick
Wakeman, bass guitarist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White on their Full Circle Tour of Europe. As it follows life on the road, YESSPEAK
reveals an up-close and personal look at the members of the band and the music they perform.
YES will also perform in April and May of 2004 in the US, including markets where the special screenings are taking place as part of the band's ongoing
35th anniversary celebration. Look for a full tour announcement from the band on January 28th. This monumental longevity is also being commemorated
with the North American release of "The Ultimate Yes; 35th Anniversary Collection" (Rhino Records) on January 27, 2004, a 2-disc collection
spanning the bands career, as well as a bonus disc containing newly recorded acoustic versions of some of their classic hits.
