Their early touring with White was featured on Yessongs, a triple live album released in May 1973 that documented shows from 1972. The band considered several possible replacements, including Aynsley Dunbar (who was playing with Frank Zappa at the time), and decided on former Plastic Ono Band drummer Alan White, a yes play friend of Anderson and Offord who had once sat in with the band weeks before Bruford’s departure. At 19 minutes, the title track took up an entire side on the vinyl record and combined elements of classical music, psychedelic rock, pop and jazz. In February 1972, Yes recorded a cover version of «America» by Simon & Garfunkel and released it in July.

Anderson approached Rabin about the situation, and Rabin sent Anderson a demo tape with three songs, indicating that ABWH could have one but had to send the others back. After hearing the tracks, Arista Records refused to release the album as they felt the initial mixes were weak. A live album and home video were recorded and released in 1993, both titled An Evening of Yes Music Plus that featured Jeff Berlin on bass due to Levin suffering from illness.

Downes and Howe often acted as the central creative axis, with Howe, as producer, serving as the point through which all ideas eventually flowed. The idea of a new album surfaced quickly and with the label’s encouragement, the band had the time to develop material organically. There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. YES, who is Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood & Jay Schellen, are proud to announce their 24th studio album ‘Aurora’ will be released on the 12th June 2026 via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music.

It was digitally recorded and produced by Rabin with engineer Michael Jay, using 3.4 GB of hard disk storage split among four networked Apple Macintosh computers running Digital Performer. The new album was well into production in 1993, but Wakeman’s involvement had finally been cancelled, as his refusal to leave his long-serving management created insuperable legal problems.citation needed Rabin began assembling the album at his home, using the then-pioneering concept of a digital home studio, and used material written by himself and Anderson.

The next Yes studio album, as with Union, was masterminded by a record company, rather than by the band itself. Howe and Bruford performed together on television (presented as «Yes») to promote the album, marking Bruford’s final performance under the Yes name before retiring from performing. Two accompanying home videos, Yesyears and Greatest Video Hits, were also released during 1991.citation needed

‘Fragile’ was the fourth album by YES cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971 achieving Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. VIP Roundabout packages including premium tickets and merchandise are available for all dates. He mentioned that the classical composition structure inspired him to craft longer pieces of music and cited the works of Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius and English composer Gustav Holst (namely «The Planets») as some of the band’s influences. In his review he highlighted the prominence of Chris Squire’s bass lines, Bill Bruford’s precise drumming and Rick Wakeman’s keyboard textures as central to the group’s sound and appeal. He described the band’s early sound as an amalgamation of «pastoral folk», «Baroque classical» and «muscular rock & roll».

Left as the sole remaining members, Downes and Howe opted not to continue with the group and went their own separate ways in December 1980.citation needed Horn was also dismissed, and went on to pursue a career in music production, with White and Squire next to depart. They were well received in the United States and were awarded with a commemorative certificate after they performed a record 16 consecutive sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden since 1974. The album received substantial radio airplay in the late summer–fall of 1980, and peaked at number 2 in the UK and number 18 in the US, though it was the first Yes album to not be certified Gold by the RIAA since 1971. Horn and Downes accepted the invitation and the reconfigured band recorded the Drama album, which was released in August 1980. In 1980, pop duo The Buggles (singer Trevor Horn and keyboardist Geoff Downes) secured the services of Brian Lane, who had managed Yes since 1970, as their manager.

Union sold approximately 1.5 million copies worldwide, and peaked at number 7 in the UK and number 15 in the US charts. Howe described the nomination for a track he had recorded solo at home as «pure justice», following the difficulties in making the album. Squire sang background vocals on a few of the ABWH tracks, with Tony Levin playing all the bass on those songs. Arista now suggested that the «Yes-West» group, with Anderson on vocals, record the songs from Rabin’s demo tape and add them to the incomplete ABWH album, which would then be released as a full album under the Yes name.citation needed

Following the tour’s conclusion in 1992, Bruford chose not to remain involved with Yes and returned to his jazz project Earthworks. The 1991–1992 Union tour united all eight members on a revolving circular stage. Union was released in April 1991 and is the thirteenth studio album from Yes.

The compilation album Yesterdays, released in 1975, contained tracks from Yes’s first two albums, the B-side track from their «Sweet Dreams» single from 1970 titled «Dear Father», and the original ten-minute version of their cover of «America». Yes ultimately chose Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz of Refugee, who arrived in August 1974 during the recording sessions for Relayer, which took place at Squire’s home in Virginia Water, Surrey. He felt sections were «bled to death» and contained too much musical padding.

This was followed by the previously unreleased music release From a Page, mostly written by Oliver Wakeman. The tour included guests Dylan Howe (Steve’s son), Trevor Horn, Tony Kaye, Tom Brislin, and Patrick Moraz, who had last performed with Yes in 1976. In the ceremony, Anderson, Howe, Rabin, Wakeman, and White performed «Roundabout» with Lee on bass, followed by «Owner of a Lonely Heart» with Howe on bass.
