Yes have announced that they'll be taking the Close To The Edge leg of their ongoing Album Series to the US later this year. The run of 28 shows will kick off with a pair of shows at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA, on October 7 and 8, and climax at the NYCB Theatre in Westbury, NY, on November 19.
The UK leg of the Close To The Edge tour finally took place in June after being postponed twice, and saw the band perform Close To The Edge in full, alongside other classic tracks from the band's repertoire.
“We were young, enthusiastic, and adventurous, and we had this incredible breakthrough success with Fragile," guitarist Steve Howe revealed in the September issue of Guitar World. "We saw our next album as a real opportunity to prove our worth as a band. The door had been opened and we weren’t going to go backward. We wanted to sharpen our skills as far as writing and arranging.”
The Close To The Edge show will feature a high-definition video wall directed by Andy Clark and feature the artwork of longtime Yes associate Roger Dean.
Prior to the tour, Yes will pay tribute to late drummer Alan White with a show in Seattle on October 2. The show, entitled Alan White – Celebrating His Life and Music, will take place at the city's Paramount Theater, and tickets are available now.
