Summary: Just Another Way For Yes To make Money On Us fans
Review: I purchased this DVD three years ago and though I was getting a Yes show. It's only fifty-one minutes of a two and a half hour show. The highlight is Starship Trooper,but it's not worth the money. Spend your money on Keys,House of Blues or Yes Symphonic.I also rated this a one star, the rater here at the site doesn't let you give minus stars. I really rate this DVD -2 stars because of the length,it's a rip off to Yes Fans!

Summary: tormato
Review: I saw the dvd at a friends house, i thought it was fantastic....I miss that "Yes".. I saw that concert twice in 1979. There were sounds on the dvd that I never heard on the albums or at the concerts.

Summary: Tormato, Not Old Hat.
Review: I think we all feel the same way about this DVD. I mean-its historic...but its dismal. Not only is the video quality poor, the band just wasnt on that night. They were all sooooo b o r i n g and probably bored with themselves. The thing that REALLY ticked me off was that I was expecting the Tormato show...not old songs like "roundabout" or "starship trooper". Instead...one song from Tor performed live! And it happens to be my least favorite song on this album(circus of heaven). Its a shame......BUT, there is hope. If you can find DVD 1 and 2 for the 1975 QPR show....then you are in luck. Absolutely THE best show recorded of YES. And besides....the sound quality is nice and the video quality is so much better.

Summary: Caveat emptor...
Review: I was also looking forward to seeing this (it would have been a great souvenir of that tour), but let's be honest...the sound quality SUCKS...it's not much better than a bootleg...in fact, I've heard boots from this tour that sound way better than this. The video quality is decent, not spectacular. Furthermore, the whole thing is too short...some of the show's highlights such as the Time & A Word -> -> Soon medley should have been included. I would have thought something released under the Yes name could have had better sound than this, it's not like 1979 was the sonic dark ages

Summary: Great show, too short, terrible quality
Review: I was very excited about getting my DVD player and even more excited when I found this Yes disc. I did not expect perfect quality, but I was more than a bit disappointed in the audio and video of this disc. The quality on this disc is simply terrible. I can't imagine that they couldn't have managed to clean up the video and audio quality of this disc. I realize there were serious limitations then, but I was hopeful for more. Overall DVD is pretty good simply because YES is one of the finest bands on the planet. It's worth it to buy this disc simply for the performance, but don't expect it to show off the fantastic video and sound of your DVD player. I give this DVD 4 stars for the magnificent performance that YES gives on this disc. Maybe the quality could have been better, and maybe the record company mastered this the best they could with the source they had. What is unforgivable is not including the whole show. I understand that Close to the Edge was cut out of the YES- House of Blues DVD. What is with these people, would it take so much effort to do it right? Yes live at Queens Park is a great video lets hope they issue that on DVD...after they know how to really make a disc. DVD is a great medium, when they utilize it to its fullest degree and stop worrying about the fast buck over quality.

Summary: what is this, a bootleg?
Review: If Yes is going to release an old concert from Philly, why pick one that's such poor recording? Why not release the live in Philly show from the Big Generator tour? That show has a lot more songs and is a lot better sound and picture quality. Why not release that concert from the Union tour that they kept showing clips from on the YesYears video? They could have picked a better concert than this 1979 to release. What about the Keys To Ascension show? Even if you're a big Yes fan, you should skip Live In Philadelphia 1979 because it's a big disappointment. Send the band some e-mails and tell them to release videos from the Big Generator and Union tours because they obviously filmed some of those concerts.

Summary: stay away, unless your a real die hard!
Review: Im a big Yes fan! although this video probably captures the pinacle of the yes years, the video is second rate and dark alot of the time. The video is also short. Less than an hour I believe. This could have been great :(

Summary: What were they thinking?
Review: In 1979, there was a chemical reason that the sound and picture were not in synch. In 2000, did they not think enough to try to match the soundtrack with the video? What were they thinking?

Summary: High The Rememberance
Review: It is unbelievable that so many people do not get this video. This is a rare glimpse of "Yes" at their Pinnacle. Who cares if the sound and video are not state-of-the-art. This video is so much more, and any true "Yes" fan can see this. I was at this incredible show in Philadelphia. It was an amazing show-something to cherish. For me, it is a video that brings back many good feelings and vivid memories, for it truly was a special night, as is always when "Yes" plays Philly. Just to see Steve in his prime makes this video a treasure to relish for time to come. And it costs under twenty dollars. Come on guys! Get a clue.

Summary: It was worth it for the nostalgia and it rocked!!
Review: It was the first concert I ever went to, and this video reveals to me just how luck I was to have experienced such an event. Technology aside it is worth it just for the memory. It Rocked !!!!!! Joe McSorley Phila Pa
