It was released as a double album in October 1996 on Essential Records. After guitarist Steve Howe and keyboardist Rick Wakeman returned to the band in mid-1995, the group relocated to Anderson&#8217;s hometown of San Luis Obispo, California and started writing and rehearsing for a new studio album. The reunion of this particular line-up was promoted with three shows at the city&#8217;s Fremont Theater in March 1996, the five&#8217;s first live performance together since 1979. The album features half of the live set from the 1996 shows and two studio tracks which marked a return to producing long-form pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Keys to Ascension received a mostly positive reception from music critics, and reached number 48 on the UK Albums Chart and number 99 on the Billboard 200. Yes supported the album with a media tour which included live performances at record stores and television and radio appearances, and a same-titled home video of the concerts. After further studio tracks were completed in 1996 and 1997, these and the second half of the 1996 live set was released on the follow-up album, Keys to Ascension 2 (1997). The studio tracks from both Keys to Ascension albums were compiled on Keystudio (2001), and both albums were packaged in their entirety in 1998 and 2010, the latter with the concert video as a bonus disc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keys to Ascension is the fourth live and fifteenth studio album by the English rock band Yes.
