Yes at the MARS Music Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach
By Michael Hamersly
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 Starship Trooper, Roundabout, 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 of late last year, Magnification, a return to form.
