Each date will feature a specially designed set by Roger Dean, the artist responsible for the band's album covers. The 35th anniversary tour is in support of the just-released "Ultimate Yes" collection (Rhino), a two-CD set of hits and essentials, plus a newly recorded bonus CD with five unreleased tracks, including the new song "Show Me." The set was released in the U.K. last summer, where it debuted at No. 10 on the album chart.
