Total Mass Retain: YES Experience

Sunday, November 03, 2024 @ 7:00pm



The Vogel
99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701

Officially endorsed by YES and named as the #1 USA YES Tribute Band, Total Mass Retain (TMR) delivers an authentic EXPERIENCE that brings you back in time to the heyday of the world’s greatest progressive rock band.

TMR’s JA80 Tour will celebrate the 80th birthday of YES lead singer and founding member Jon Anderson, performing a Setlist of EPIC PROPORTIONS.

Since 2018, TMR has recreated the energy and precision of Yes music live, capturing all eras of their legendary history. In fact, TMR was hand picked by YES to perform at the Official 50th Anniversary Yes Fans Convention and here is what Yes members in attendance had to say:

“Unbelievable!!! Sound Chaser hasn’t been played like that since YES in 1976. Bravo. Bravo. Bravissimo!” — PATRICK MORAZ

“That was the first live performance of ‘Subway Walls’ by any band – ever – very well done! The band was fantastic and really puts on a great YES show.” — GEOFF DOWNES

“TMR really brought me back; especially No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed. It was an amazing performance and they even influenced Steve Howe to add the song into our own setlist after all these years. The band was excellent, a major highlight of the day…and I’ll be posting videos” — TONY KAYE

“These guys are the real deal. You close your eyes and you think you’re actually hearing YES! Congratulations to Total Mass Retain and thanks for all the love and support.”— JON DAVISON

“It was great to hear such deep YES cuts, especially The More We Live. It’s one of the first songs I ever wrote with Chris [Squire] and holds a deep meaning for myself and YES fans. Keep on rocking, TMR!!” — BILLY SHERWOOD

Yes fans and Prog Music lovers will not want to miss this EPIC event.

Any good cook will tell you that reducing something doesn't always mean diminishing it. Sometimes it's the best way to intensify its personality. Size, we've learned in the era of streaming entertainment on tiny phone screens, does not determine how clearly a thing communicates. If it fills our senses, it can slip right into our bloodstream.
