The Ticket
Yes, Indeed They'll Rock You
By Michael Hamersly
Yes: 7:30 p.m. Sunday, MARS Music Amphitheatre, 601-7 Sansburys Way, West
Palm Beach; $65, $45 reserved, $25 lawn seating; 561-793-0445.
No one does prog-rock like Yes. Sure, '70s dinosaurs like King Crimson and
Emerson Lake and Palmer had their day, but neither group ever approached
the songwriting genius of anthems like I've Seen All Good People, Starship
Trooper, Roundabout, Yours Is No Disgrace and Long Distance Runaround,
which still find room on today's classic-rock air waves. And neither group
is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, as the classically influenced pioneers
of art-rock are today with Rhino Records' recent release of the five-CD
compilation, In A Word: Yes (1969 - ). Simply put, Jon Anderson's
inimitable, childlike voice soaring over Chris Squire's bass grooves and
Steve Howe's imaginative guitar created a sound like no other. And the boys
are back together for a North American tour to support their critically
acclaimed release late last year, Magnification, a return to form.
