YES The Royal Affair: Live in Las Vegas

2LP Black Vinyl Housed in Tri Gatefold Sleeve

Recorded live during their headline North American tour in the summer of 2019, A Royal Affair Tour was a must-see best-of-British-rock show and featured support by Asia with the return of founding member Steve Howe in a special performance, John Lodge of The Moody Blues, and Carl Palmers ELP Legacy with guest vocals by Arthur Brown. The Yes performing line up was Steve Howe (guitar joined 1970), Alan White (drums since 1972), Geoff Downes (keyboards; first joined in 1980), Jon Davison (vocals since 2011) and Billy Sherwood (guitar/keyboards in the 1990s and the late Chris Squires choice to take over bass/vocals in 2015), with Jay Schellen on additional drums. Yes performed songs from their storied career, one of rock musics most prized bodies of work, and their set was in honor of the memory of YES members Chris Squire and Peter Banks.

Continuing the British theme, the set featured Alan White of Yes tribute to John Lennon; White was the drummer on Lennons solo material including the recording of Imagine. Of the tour, Steve Howe said Yes is delighted to headline this celebration of British music which has been so warmly received in America over the past five decades. Alan White: Im looking forward to joining a number of classic British talents that have delighted so many fans over the past half century. Geoff Downes: This is a unique celebration of the British contribution to classic rock over many decades. It will be inspirational to be a part of. And I know it is what John Wetton would have wanted.

A Royal Affair Tour Live was recorded live at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Friday 26 July 2019. The packaging features brand new artwork by legendary artist and longtime Yes collaborator, Roger Dean.
