Although conceived by Anderson as being a Yes re-union, others in the band were keen to distance themselves from the “Yes” name. At the time, the name was co-owned by Howe, Alan White and Chris Squire. As Squire and White were still continuing with the Trevor Rabin ‘90125’ Yes lineup, it was not possible for ABWH to use the “Yes” name anyway. Anticipating this problem, Jon Anderson suggested they call themselves “The Affirmative,” but the other band members felt that was disingenuous. The name “No” was also suggested, but in the end, they decided to simply name themselves after the members of the band, despite the very legitimate criticism that it made them sound like an accounting firm. When Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe toured, they titled their shows “An Evening Of Yes Music Plus.” ABWH were sued by Yes in an attempt to prevent any mention of Yes in the ABWH promotional material. This seems to stem from an agreement before the release of Yes’ 90125 album between Yes, Howe and Wakeman over the use of the Yes name in the promotion of other activities.
