Review: This is truly exceptional. If I had to chose one recording to give to someone either unfamiliar with Yes, or someone on the fence about them, this would be it.Jon's voice has never sounded better, to my ears. Steve Howe's guitar tone? Sounds excellent to me, I don't hear what others have been critical of. His lack of animation? So what. Watch the master at work. And it's all the more fun when he does bust out a little move here and there. When he jerks his head a bit, you know it's part of his musical experience, not put-on. The classic epics benefit tremendously from the orchestra. The editing is just about perfect. The mix, well I've only listened through little TV speakers so far but even that way it sounds superb, especially for a live performance of such complexity. You don't have to be a Yes fan to enjoy this. And if you are a fan, then you simply must have this. If you are a "backslidden" Yes fan and don't know they've truly come back to form of late after all these years, then this is a great place to start getting caught up.

Summary: YES , Please.....!
Review: This DVD is nothing short of spectacular. The sound, the setlist, the orchestra...... The band performs brilliantly with Gates Of Delerium and Ritual highlighting the show..... Jon keeps them rockin with his steadfast vocals.......Chris, always the showman, continues to impress as one of the most talented rock bassists ever.....Steve, rock steady and sounding great...some amazing riffs, you get to see (and hear) up close...
Alan poundin' out the beat and enjoying rockin' with Chris and Igor..... A must buy...!! I saw the Symphonic Tour in Toronto and this DVD brings back a lot of memories.....! Make more of these!!!! YES PLEASE...!!!!

Summary: Excellent video
Review: What!? Steve Howe's guitar tone is as always-very good- and unique. Nothing wrong with it on this video. Also he is well into his fifties and perhaps, just perhaps, over the big 60. It doesn't become any player to jump around like a twenty year old and maintain any kind of dignity. What used to look boring on Eric Clapton now becomes him at age whtaever. (Just standing there that is) Now they hold their own with the most austier bluesmen. The orchestra made things a bit compact at times. That young fellow filled in good for Wakeman.

Summary: EDITING IS GOOD, WELL DONE!
Review: I never bought a cd of YES LIVE in concert mostly due to the horrid reviews that they have been given on sites much like amazon.com. Most had nothing to do with the music, it was just horrid editing. I saw this tour (and have seen Yes every tour since 96, and once in 89) so I decided that I would take a chance that they would not botch the editing and would learn from all the mistakes of the past. I am telling you that they learned from the mistakes, most likely due to the voice of the masses. This show is done very well. The song AND YOU AND I is just incredible and as far as I am concerned the song that fits perfectly with an orchestra... acutally, it sounds better this way. The other songs sound good with the orchestra, but AND YOU AND I sounds perfect. This song, when I saw them with the orchestra, made the hair stand up on my arm (when people would be quiet that is, the atlanta show was really a quiet concert) Get this if you have all the [bad]former DVD releases. And if you have been wiating, like me, for a good release. This is it.

Summary: Their Song is flat... not melodian...... notes
Review: If you compare their song with Lezeplin, the Who, rolling stone,
slade, Sweet etc.... Their way far out behind... all i remember
their notes is close encounter third kind "not a actual root of
rock and roll beat.... except..."Owner of the lonely heart!!"
their get it right!!!.

Summary: Sounds and looks good
Review: The sound quality is absolutely amazing. The sound of Jon Anderson's voice is even clearer than on any of the studio (and live) albums i have on CD. (From Yes to Topographic.) The musicianship of Yes and the orchestra is wonderful. Steve's "bad guitar tone" didn't take away too much from the experience, although i'm not a guitarist or a guitar connoisseur by any means. The animations can be toggled on or off, which is good, because they aren't very entertaining. And the animations during Gates of Delirium are terrible. I don't have any other Yes concert videos (unless you count the Special edition EP, aka best of Musikladen Live) so i don't have much to compare it to as far as Yes videos go. But it is the best concert video (from any group) i've ever seen. Steve Howe is awesome, and unintentionally hilarious. The only bad bit is Chris Squire, who is a great bassist, but has an annoying over-emphatic stage presence. Jon acts very strangely and hippyish.
Good disc. The Magnification tracks are bad. But good disc. Get it.

Summary: BEST MUSIC DVD I WILL EVER OWN !!!!!
Review: I doubt that any other Music DVD will ever come close to this masterpiece unless it's by YES. Everything is perfect ( cameras, sound, etc ). Yes is one band that "gets better with age " unlike some of the other older groups that now sound horrible. GET THIS DVD IF YOU ARE A YES FAN , GET IT GET IT GET IT

Summary: Tribute to a generation YES fans
Review: Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Jon Anderson, Alan White give you a variety of music from a time when they competed with Journey/The Who/ Genesis / etc. What can you say about Steve Howe but what a great guitarists he is and he shows it in this concert. My favs on this are "Gates of Delirium","Starship Trooper","And you and I", and "Ritual" not becuase the other hits on here arenot good ... these just stand out. Its fantastic to see them play with a full young orchestra which at the end of the concert puts down their instruments and get up and dance. Chis Squires voice hits all the notes and brings you back to the days when rock concerts where about the music and not neccessarily the show. Buy this and you will not be dissapointed
