Yes live sets aren’t a rare commodity in the Tampa Bay area, but that doesn’t mean that fans don’t eat them up.

Next month, the group will celebrate its 50th anniversary by releasing an extensive live album, and this Friday-night show will allow Steve Howe’s iteration of the iconic prog-rock group (which includes Geoff Downes and Billy Sherwood) to give fans another taste of Yes fan favorites like “Yours Is No Disgrace,” “Roundabout,” and “Starship Trooper.” The selling point on this tour, however, is the addition of Asia (which will be joined by U.K. songwriter Arthur Brown), the Moody Blues’ John Lodge and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy.

Yes w/Asia/John Lodge/Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy. Fri., July 12. 7 p.m. $63.25-$148.25. Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater. rutheckerdhall.com.
