Keys to Ascension is a double album by the English rock band Yes, released in October 1996. Following the return of guitarist Steve Howe and keyboardist Rick Wakeman into the band's line-up in 1995, the group performed three concerts in San Luis Obispo, California in March 1996, recording seven tracks. Two tracks were recorded in a studio. Keys to Ascension received a mostly positive reception and reached No. 48 in the UK and No. 99 in the US. Following a short media tour to promote the album, Wakeman left the group over several issues, leaving Billy Sherwood to join Yes as a full-time member.
