Will you be going to see YES or YES this summer?

ARW has now taken on the name YES, which IMO, is the way it should be. Jon and Chris (RIP) were the founding members, so I say if Jon is playing Yes music, he has every right to the name. Especially with Rick in the band. So now that this discussion is open, which Yes will you be going to see? This is an easy one for me, the one with Jon Anderson as the lead singer.

Yes went away with Chris Squire. Jon Anderson is the only original member there. Peter Banks/Tony Kaye era Yes is the best.
Peter and Chris thanks for the wonderful music. RIP

For the sake of this thread, maybe we can refer to Anderson,Rabin, and Wakeman as ARW.  Tom6897- I assume you are referring to the John Davidson, Howe, Downes, Sherwood, Alan White version of YES?  (-:

They were surprisingly good on the Rock & Roll hall of fame induction show. I expected another doddering nostalgia performance of half-dead, past-their-prime players. But it was pretty good. They didn't sound like they did in the 70s, but it was well done, interesting and entertaining. 

They've been touring like crazy recently, which is always good for tightening up a band and making them more than just a sum of their parts. Unfortunately, they don't appear to be coming to this area in the near future.
