Anderson, Bruford,
Wakeman & Howe – An Evening of Yes Music
Plus
NTSC
Rating: B
This
performance was recorded on ABWH tour of
1989. The only person absent from the
classic Yes line up with bass player
Chris Squire. Court battles over the
name kept this from being called Yes but
the way it went down lead to a unique
concert experience. The Plus in the
title refers to the fact that each band
member comes on separately and performed
songs solo before everyone joined the
stage and played the classic tunes of
yesteryear.
The
two best solo performances are Steve
Howe’s "Mood for a Day" and Rick
Wakeman’s "Merlin the Magician." The
best band performances go to "And You
and I," "Close to the Edge" and
"Roundabout." This is an import from
England so Yes fans will have to jump
over to
www.amazon.com
and search for the DVD to order.
