Geoff Downes was just in town with the current lineup of Asia, and he continues filling Rick Wakeman’s vacancy in Steve Howe’s iteration of Yes.

The legendary prog-rock outfit opens for Deep Purple (a pairing that may have happened when both bands were still in their respective primes) with a set of mostly Jon Anderson-era tracks.

Tickets to see Deep Purple and Yes play Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa on Thursday, Aug. 15 are still available and start at $135.
