This dvd is "good." They play some killer tunes from everything up till close to the edge, and there's some heavy "close" material. however, they skip siberian khatru (bummer). I'd also like to see South side of the sky performed, but that's life. I don't understand why they didn't throw khatru or heart of the sunrise on here, and instead put that joker song where howe plays solo acoustic guitar (can't remember the title.) I mean, that's a killer song, but its not like that was a huge draw. Another downside is there's no Bruford on here, just Alan White (who dumbs down just about everything of Bruford's that he can't cop.) However, the guy filming this mess stayed smart and kept on wakeman and howe about 90% of the time. Howe is sick. All the guys, save white, overplay everything and start improvising mid-song. It's ridiculous at some points when anderson is trying to sing and howe is taking a lead over his vocal melody. regardless, its a good representation of the band at their nigh-prime. "good" overall.Read full review
Old fashioned prog rock concert. The 5 members of YES perform at a very high level. This show was filmed on the Close to the Edge tour. While on tour the original drummer Bill Bruford left the band to join King Crimson leaving a void that would filled by Allan White. Who joins and brings a new style of drumming to the band. This is an old cocert in a different time but to me a classic.

What can I say... The movie was as important as "Song Remains the Same" and played at all the theaters (then) as well. We were all partiers back then and enjoyed the heck out of this. To have it "today", digitally remastered, and in even better clarity than we saw/heard at the theaters, at the price of a hotdog! Is one of the better deals I've made. The memories just POURED in (from those days)! And made me wonder why I haven't dedicated more of my time to the old lifestyle I used to enjoy. Not to have this, all these years, was just a symbol that I haven't done enough for myself "these" days. And that- getting a piece of your past back, doesn't have to cost 40 Grand, either!
I love yes, but the recording of this concert sound and video was pretty poor, but it an old concert too. I hope to find a better recording soon.

I had purchased this dvd before and disappointed in the quality of film. Of course it is old. Delivery was fast but the dvd is not worth purchasing.
