Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe

In its 40-year history, Yes is one of those bands that never changed but has always been changing. Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe was one permutation of the band in this history, originally intended by Jon Anderson to a reunion of the classic 1972 lineup. However, co-owning the Yes name with original bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White made using the name an impossibility. After releasing a self-titled album, ABWH hit the road, billing their show as "An Evening of Yes Music Plus," which caused some legal squabbling over whether they could use "Yes" in a promotional capacity. These differences were eventually settled though and members of both ABWH and Yes released the aptly named Union album in 1991.

The group was planning a 40th Anniversary tour this year, but Anderson had a respiratory aliment that forced him to stop touring. The group instead found a young Anderson sound-alike in a Yes-clone band in Montreal, and has carried on without him.
