I Now Pronounce You

Now listen, we're not usually the type to get excited about reunion tours. We like them about as much as we like every other type of reunion family reunions, high school reunions which is to say, not at all. But we've heard time and time again from friends and critics that Yes is worth seeing live. Plus, they come with Asia. Here's what Lester Bangs said about them back in 1970:

Yes fare much better a fine, developing group. Their sound seems to be a mix of several of the most currently popular approaches, notably Crosby, Stills and Nash (vocally) and Vanilla Fudge (instrumentally). Unlike the Fudge, they have a sense of style, taste and subtlety, and the record is a pleasurable one, if a bit familiar-sounding. Their version of the Byrds' "I See You" is especially nice ... this is the kind of album that sometimes insinuates itself into your routine with a totally unexpected thrust of musical power.

A close second for tonight's Night Moves is the ROOT cocktail competition over at Silk City that Lauren Fleming previewed in her What's Cooking column.

Tue., July 28, 8 p.m., with Asia, $45-$95, Tower Theater, 69th & Ludlow sts., Upper Darby, 610-352-2887, tower-theater.com.
