But first- about to start recording for a band called Mecca that will also have Joe Vana, Tommy Denander, Shannon Forrest, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcoro, Bobby Kimball, David Hungate and Tony Levin on tracks (was T Lev in Toto too?).
The year was 1989 when former Yes-men Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman, and Steve Howe, longing to rekindle the magic that defined Yes music in the 70’s, joined forces to record and release a new album. Dubbed simply “Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe,†they released the album to critical acclaim as fans around the globe watched in wide-eyed amazement at this most unlikely turn of events.
And as if a new studio album wasn’t enough, ABWH set course upon a breathtaking world tour titled, “An Evening Of Yes Music Plus.†The setlist for the ABWH tour was a Yes fan’s dream, including Starship Trooper, Heart Of The Sunrise, Close To The Edge, And You And I, Roundabout, and other Yes classics. Fans were also treated to tracks from the new ABWH album, including Brother Of Mine, Themes, The Meeting, Birthright, and more, along with stunning solo performances from the four principals. A truly amazing tour, “An Evening Of Yes Music Plus†was captured on video and released as a a CD and VHS in 1994. Sadly, these products were only available for a short time before disappearing … seemingly forever.
But now “An Evening Of Yes Music Plus†is available in all its glory.
from blog, Robin Slick: In Her Own Write:
Heart be still. It’s true. Side Four Live was recorded Saturday night. Oh my god. My kids are on a CD with Adrian Belew. It’s finally hitting me now. Well, somewhat — I need to have it in my hand to be sure it’s really happened. That, and the accompanying DVD which I understand is extremely cool - full of both concert footage and interviews. Arghhh…I want it now!
Volume One chronicles the band’s progress through the 2000s. Filmed on tour in the United States in 2001, Argentina in 2002, and Germany in 2005. It also includes 25 minutes of new material, and marks the debut performance of bassist Laurence Cottle and pianist Gwilym Simcock with the group. With 25 minutes of new material, 11 of the 14 tracks featured were previously unavailable on DVD or video.
Volume Two was filmed on tour in Germany 1991, Japan, Bulgaria in 1999 and documents the original Earthworks line-up tearing up material which has never been previously available on DVD or video before.
Upcoming for 2007:
**Bruford-Borstlap dates: UK and Scandinavia
**Cross-Canada Drum Clinic Tour, April-May
