Last night, Friday April 7th, was a momentous occasion as Prog legends Yes were finally inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, along with Journey, ELO, Pearl Jam, and others. It was the first time in forever, that members of the Union tour performed together as the current group known as ARW (Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, and Rick Wakeman) joined fellow inductees Alan White and Steve Howe on stage for two songs, “Roundabout” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart”.
