Yes with Special Guest Asia Concert - isn't that pretty much seeing Yes twice in one night

[LynneSin]

I thought part of Asia was made up of members of Yes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_(band)

Asia is a rock group formed in 1981. The band was labelled a supergroup and included former members of veteran progressive rock bands Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Uriah Heep, U.K., Roxy Music, Wishbone Ash and The Buggles. As of 2008, there are two distinct groups using the Asia name: a reunion of the band's original line-up performing as Asia, and Asia Featuring John Payne featuring three members from later incarnations of Asia.


Asia began with the apparent demise of Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, two of the flagship bands of British progressive rock

2. It's the lounge - you're permitted to snark me in the lounge

if it was elsewhere I'd have to humiliate your ass

3. you should do it anyway

Just on principle...:P

4. Sort of...

In Asia, you get two people who have been in Yes (although one was only in the band for one album and tour). The version of Yes that's currently touring only has three "classic" Yes members in it, as well as one of the sons of a "classic" Yes member.

5. It's also like getting an icepick rammed in BOTH ears.

Sorry, I said that in the heat of the moment.

6. The only Asia I knew of had only Steve Howe from Yes.

I guess it makes sense for the acts to tour together, though I have about zero interest in Asia.

Yes rocked like hell in 2003, but that was with Jon Anderson. I don't know anything about the David Benoit fellow, other than that he sang in a Yes tribute band. I see they've got Rick Wakeman's son sitting in on keyboards. Interesting.
