As the members of YES prepare for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Class of 2017--Friday, April 7 at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, NY--drummer ALAN WHITE looks back on the band's nearly 50-year history and what's still to come for one of the world's most influential, ground-breaking, and respected progressive rock bands.

Yes they can! YES will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the Class of 2017, it was announced this morning. The induction, following two previous nominations, will occur one year shy of the legendary progressive rock band's 50th anniversary.

YES recently kicked off its 2016 U.S. summer tour, billed as 'The Album Series: Drama + Topographic 1 & 4.' The 'Evening With Yes' shows begin with the 1980 album DRAMA performed in its entirety followed by sides one and four of 1973's double album TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS as well as selections of the band's greatest hits throughout. In a glowing review of last night's Lynn, MA show, the Boston Globe's Steve Smith said, 'Where those album recitals proved the present Yes equal to mighty acts of reanimation, the band's approach to canonical hits was equally commanding. 'I've Seen All Good People' and 'Siberian Khatru' closed the first set, 'And You and I' opened the second, and inevitably 'Roundabout' and 'Starship Trooper' arrived in the encore; this vital, hungry combo--not least a visibly animated [Steve] Howe--played it all with infectious gusto. Finding enduring fire even in thrice-familiar fare: it's this, more than which players turn up or what songs they pick, that will ensure Yes's staying power' (8/5/16).

Terra Nova's elegant staging and technical elements created an engrossing poetry of action for the brooding tale of men dying in Antarctica. I can't say I warmed-up to all the choices, but warmth wasn't the point of this play. I'll leave it to my reader to see the show and feel the effect of these choices for themselves-yet my own experience lingers in my chest like a shard of ice:

Let me start by saying that "The Rocky Horror Show", on its own, is not a very good show. What makes the show fun and worthwhile is the audience participation. So when that is lacking, as it was at the recent Seattle Musical Theatre production I saw, it only serves to spotlight how mediocre a show it is. So I must encourage all you Rocky fans who know what to yell at the stage to go and lend the final piece to the show for its own sake. But lack of audience interaction aside (seriously there were only about five of us participating in a full house and getting people to do the Time Warp was like pulling teeth) this circus burlesque reimagining of the show works on some levels but lacks focus on others making the evening feel … well … rocky.
