Yes - The Royal Affair Tour: Live From Las Vegas

BMG Rights Management - 538622011

Following the outstanding success of their 2019 American tour, YES are to release The Royal Affair Tour, Live From Las Vegas through BMG Records.

All YES concert tours are special events for their legions of fans and The Royal Affair Tour was no exception, conceived as a wonderful celebration of the best of British progressive music. Guests on the tour were Asia (with YES keyboardist Geoff Downes and a special appearance by Steve Howe), John Lodge of The Moody Blues and Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy featuring Arthur Brown.

The show features many classic tracks across the period 1970 - 1980. The set opened with No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed, the Richie Havens cover from their second album Time And A Word (1970). Tempus Fugit was taken from Drama (1980), Geoff Downes' first as a member of YES, while Going For The One, I've Seen All Good People and Siberian Khatru are from some of YES' iconic mid-70s albums. The set included a rare live performance of YES' cover of Paul Simon's America and John Lodge shared vocals on YES' cover of John Lennon's Imagine. Soon-to-be YES drummer Alan White played on the original studio recording.

The Royal Affair Tour live set and album, recorded at the Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, in July 2019, reaches a climax with two of the best-loved YES tracks Roundabout and Starship Trooper, always a high note on which to close the set.
