Wow. Yes are going back on tour[^], but does it really count when there's only one of the original lineup left and the singer's been replaced by a guy from a tribute band? You couldn't make it up. Really, you couldn't.

I saw them live back in the day, still easily the best live concert I've ever been to and I've been to a great many. They were so tight on stage (despite giving each other glaring looks throughout the sets). Also easily the loudest bass in a live concert, I could feel the air getting sucked out of my lungs and pushed back in again.

I don't know if his has been said, but I feel that once you have less than 50% of the original members, you cannot use the band name.

The majority of bands consist of one or two people being 'backed up' by the rest of the members. If the key person(s) go on tour then you would expect them to use the original name. Would you be more likely to go and see 'Bob and the Gardeners' or 'Led Zeppelin'?
The tragedy of your times is that you may get exactly what you want!

Did I miss a Zeppelin spin-off or did you make up the Bob and the Gardeners reference?

I made up the name Bob and the Gardeners as an example.

Thank god... That name brought about images of John Paul Jones in a derby playing front man in a strange acoustic outfit.

That would mean Yes would have needed to stop using their name in 1972, after Close To The Edge, Bill Bruford left then making Jon and Chris the two remaining original members representing only 40%... :)
