Far and away the longest lasting and most successful of the all progressive rock groups, Yes has proven to be one of the most pervading success stories from the musical genre. The band, founded in 1968 by Chris Squire, (still voted as the world's premiere rock bass player), and the distinctive lead vocalist Jon Anderson, has overcome a generational shift in it's audience, while maintaining a vast and loyal fan base from the early days. Over the years Yes has seen the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history, however succeeded in reaching the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band.

The fully authorised Classic Artists Series episode dedicated to Yes is contributed to by all current and past members of the band such as Chris Squire, Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe and Alan White as well as those closest to them and their story. The episode explores the music of Yes and the true story behind that music. We take a fascinating look at each stage of Yes's incarnation and delve into the circumstances surrounding these changes, the creation of their albums and their spectacular world tours.

The programme is filled with music, rare archive footage and photographs, and interviews from those who have worked with the band, the individual band members, management, and their rock contemporaries.
