Anderson was then invited into the project as lead singer and joined in April 1983 during the last few weeks of the sessions, having comparatively little creative input beyond adding his lead vocals and re-writing some lyrics.citation needed Although Rabin and Squire initially shared lead vocals for the project, Trevor Horn was briefly brought into Cinema as a potential singer, but soon opted to become the band’s producer instead. Yesshows, a live album recorded during 1976 to 1978, mixed in mid-1979 and originally intended for release in late 1979, was released in November 1980, peaking at number 22 in the UK charts and number 43 in the US. “And You and I” was released as a single that peaked at number 42 in the US The growing critical and commercial success of the band was not enough to retain Bruford, who left Yes in the summer of 1972, before the album’s release, to join King Crimson. Squire commented that he could play “a grand piano for three bars, a Mellotron for two bars and a Moog for the next yesplay one absolutely spot on”, which gave Yes the orchestral and choral textures that befitted their new material.citation needed The band purchased Iron Butterfly’s entire public address system, which improved their on-stage performance and sound.

Yes regularly released studio albums from 1994 to 2001 with varying levels of success, beginning a second hiatus in 2004. In 1980, musical differences led to Anderson and Wakeman’s departures; Yes recruited Downes and singer Trevor Horn for the album Drama (1980) before disbanding in 1981. During this time, Kaye and Bruford were replaced by Wakeman and White respectively, while keyboardist Patrick Moraz joined for Relayer and its subsequent tour. Yes earned a reputation for their elaborate stage sets, light displays, and album covers designed by Roger Dean. Founded by Anderson, Squire, Bruford, Kaye, and guitarist Peter Banks, Yes began performing a mix of original songs and covers of rock, pop, blues, and jazz songs, as showcased on their first two albums, Yes (1969) and Time and a Word (1970).

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
The tour was also dogged by legal battles sparked by Atlantic Records due to the band’s references to Yes in promotional materials and the tour title.citation needed ABWH toured in 1989 and 1990 as “An Evening of Yes Music” which featured Levin, keyboardist Julian Colbeck, and guitarist Milton McDonald as support musicians. It later emerged that the four band members had not all recorded together; Anderson and producer Chris Kimsey slotted their parts into place. The project, rather than taking over or otherwise using the Yes name, was called Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (ABWH).citation needed He took leave of the band, asserting that he would never stay in Yes purely for the money, and started work in Montserrat on a solo project that eventually involved Wakeman, Howe and Bruford. However, with all the other band members having been members of Yes (with three of them being original members, including the distinctive lead singer) the name change was considered sound commercial strategy.
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.
Tormato was released in September 1978 at the height of punk rock in England, during which the music press criticised Yes as representing the bloated excesses of early-1970s progressive rock. Upon its release in July 1977, Going for the One topped the UK album charts for two weeks and reached number 8 in the US “Wonderous Stories” and “Going for the One” were released as singles in the UK and reached numbers 7 and 25, respectively. Moraz was let go, after Wakeman was booked initially on a session musician basis, before being convinced by Squire to re-join the band full time. It was then that Anderson sent early versions of “Going for the One” and “Wonderous Stories” to Wakeman, who felt he could contribute to such material better than the band’s past releases.
