The tour overlapped with a simultaneous 50th anniversary tour by Howe and White's ongoing line-up of Yes. [5] This was the final time, to date, that Anderson, Rabin or Wakeman toured under the "Yes" name, though Anderson continues to tour under his own name, heavily promoting the inclusion of Yes material.
