YES Guitarist STEVE HOWE On The Album Series US Tour - “It’s A Lot More Inventive Than Just Playing “Roundabout” Or “Heart Of The Sunrise”; Audio

YES recently announced their 2016 US summer touring plans. Billed as The Album Series: Drama + Topographic 1 & 4, the tour will feature the 1980 album Drama performed in its entirety, for the first time ever, and sides one and four of 1973's double album Tales From Topographic Oceans, plus a selection of their greatest hits.

YES (and Asia) guitarist Steve Howe talks about the upcoming tour on the new episode of One On One With Mitch Lafon.

“It's a lot more inventive than just playing “Roundabout” or “Heart Of The Sunrise” because we are actually playing the whole album. It's a kind of opportunity... A demonstration of what we do instead of saying, 'Here's the song you know best from the album'. We play the whole album and it gives you a chance to experience things that sometimes have never been onstage like “Run Through The Night”.”
