35th Anniversay dvd release dates

[nightliner]

Songs from Tsongas is the title of the forthcoming DVD from this year's live shows, due October 4th in the UK and October 20th in Japan. No mention of a US release that I could find. The DVD will have a 3 hour running time and be in both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel surround sound. This is the Lowell MA show from which the hour show on PBS was taken from. That could be why there is no US date. They are waiting for PBS to be finished with their version...and to get more of their members to order it through them as a membership award.

There has also been talk that a show from the 2002 tour, used for the Yesspeak dvd, might also appear as a concert dvd.

[1yesfan]

I wonder why they did the AUDIO only from the Yesspeak dvd, I finally got that DVD.

[stevepenn]

Judging from what I just saw on RAVE TV, the 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival HDTV performance would be a likely candidate to yield a DVD. (I might be wrong, but I think some of the footage from the Montreux show was played on Yesspeak. I'll have to double check tomorrow night.)

Here here!!!

Songs from Tsongas is the title of the forthcoming DVD from this year's live shows, due October 4th in the UK .

That's a bizarre release date for me as October the 4th will be my first wedding anniversary (a double celebration, then!). I am originally from the UK, too, although I am living in Australia now. I'll probably be able to order it online from the UK as I did the same for the Yesspeak dvd.

Cheers

ps good news about the potential 2002 live dvd too!

Great news Dave! I hope they release a DVD of the 2002 tour. I never understood why yesspeak wasn't a show and documentary. I still have only viewed the documentary once, burned a copy of the music to cd for the car and listened to the 5.1 music only a few times.

[Andersonic]

Several shows were filmed on the European tour, I remember that the show in Poland was pretty good in review, but I am not sure...

We'll see what happens...first the 'Songs From Tsongas' DVD! Yeah!

But what or where is Tsongas?

[Earl Grey]

This is excellent news! I didn't get to see the PBS special: How does the stage set come across in the show? So much has to do with lighting, and I imagine it looks pretty dramatic!

Anyhow, a new YES DVD is always a good thing... Can't wait!

Earl:yesbird:

[Jonny]

We'll see what happens...first the 'Songs From Tsongas' DVD! Yeah!

But what or where is Tsongas?

Tsongas, or better the Paul E. Tsongas Arena, is the name of the venue where the concert was filmed: Lowell MA.

At your service,

Jonny

[Simon B]

Better start saving my English pounds!
1. 2004 show
2. 2002/3 show
3. 90125 DVD

= Loads of money!!

[Andersonic]

Thanks Jonny! Who was Paul E. Tsongas that he's honoured with a Yes release and a stadium? (in that order)

[tecladista]

Paul Tsongas was the junior senator from Massachusetts, he was a victim of cancer, he was replaced in the Senate by John Kerry!

[nightliner]

I'd expect to see the Tsongas show when they say it will be out. But I'm not holding my breath for the 2002 tour dvd.

I did that for the live box set, and ended up passing out.
I did that for the official bootlegs and I ended up in the hospital.
If I hold my breath for this dvd, well, I might not be around long enough to know whether or not it comes out. ;)

[Andersonic]

well don't hold your breath indeed then... ;)

Excellent news can't wait till Oct. 4, any chance of a fans presale offer from Yesworld?

[Bugeyes]

No nightliner, don't turn blue! Breath. You're too funny, hospital...

Kerry replaced Tsongas! Learn something new everyday from Belgians. Hi new kiddo Jonny.

Three hours and 5.1! Alright, but I'm still waiting on the PBS show too.

[stevie]

Is it confirmed anywhere that the release date for this DVD in the UK is October 4th?

[tecladista]

Amazon in the UK is taking pre orders for the Oct release

The Stage set comes across really well and the lighting is INCREDIBLE. For me, the mix was as follows.

-Just enough Steve
-A lot of Rick (unusual)
-Vocals are too loud. (with Chris being way to loud in the balance)
-Not enough bass guitar, toms, or bass drum. (of course, this was a tv broadcast coming through tiny speakers. Might easily be fixed with Dolby or DTS and a 5.1 system.)

I didn't feel the camera angles were as good as Symphonic, either.

Dave you are right on. I have learned over the years , especially the last 4 or 5, never wait for the release od a Yes DVD,CD until they are on the shelves. Yes, changes their minds quicker than kerry.

[spinaltap]

Where does this October release come from?

I've checked on Amazon (UK) which states a February 7, 2005 release date.

[Simon B]

Boooooo!

When's the 90125 live DVD coming out then?

[justyes]

Was it filmed? I've been too the last two Yes concerts in Poland and I haven't seen any cameras. I can be wrong of course. And I can tell you those shows were great!!!!!

I noticed this too, and to be honest the cynic in me kind of expected it. I felt that the company was trying to rack up advance orders before release, they did it in Europe now they have done it in USA.

[MyLadySquire]

I am still new here so I hope that the following is allowed. As much as I prefer to support Yes thru the site, I have now switched to another source just to save money. All of us who collect everything YES know how expensive that can become over time. So, if I have broken any rules tell me and it won't happen again.

After paying upwards of $ 25.00 for YES ACOUSTIC, I started checking out deepdiscountdvd.com where one can now purchase that for $ 11.21 w/free shipping and handling. YES-SONGS FROM TSONGAS is being released to them on 2/22/05 to the tune of $ 19.27. Anyone interested in YES-HOUSE OF YES-LIVE FROM THE HOUSE OF BLUES, that has a release date of 11/30/04 to the tune of $ 11.34.

[brotherofmine]

I am still new here so I hope that the following is allowed.
No problem with that Lady Squire you are not blatantly advertising just passing on information i don't see anything wrong in that. There is no 'obligation' to buy from Amazon if you are on this site.

[yes_angel]

Fingers crossed

[soul warrior]

well there goes my christmas list!

[Vic Anderson]

the new date on amazon is february 22 in US, later outside

i was sooooo looking forward for this dvd for christmas

there goes my hopes why all the frickin' date changes?
I really am dissapointed

[Vic Anderson]

i just have one thing to tell them : It better be the best mix we ever heard !!!!!!

[Topographic][Sardaukar]

Just wondering, is PBS producing the DVD release or will it be a seperate production, with a possibly better mix and different shots than we saw on PBS?

[Vic Anderson]

separate production

[Topographic][Sardaukar]

thanks

[Vic Anderson]

you people just don't care that the dvd has been delayed
if this is your reaction to a new album god help us

What do you mean Vic?
Of course we care, I cannot wait for the DVD to come out, no use bleating about it though.
Ever the optimist, I hope the DVD will be launched at a time to gain media attention/promotion for another Yes tour. According to a recent thread wasn't Jon reported has talking about the band touring in the spring. It may be that they want to make sure the DVD is as good as it possibly can be, hence the tweaks in production. But I always believe there is a reason for the timing of releases. As I say ever the optimist.

[Vic Anderson]

check out amazon.co.uk // i won't say anything else

but please do!!!!

[Vic Anderson]

i guess I will be getting it for christmas anyway!!! YeS!!!!

i guess there there is a god in heaven afterall

I see what you mean now, though I'm not convinced.
I didn't think this had been released anywhere in the world yet.

[Vic Anderson]

well the dvd was ready from octomber

yesworld needed to justify the delay somehow

[Vic Anderson]

don't worry I'll give a lenghy early review

[Andersonic]

I don't believe a word of it to be honest...are you hoaxing us Vic?

[slipstream9]

wont you need a multi region player?

[soporjoe1]

I don't believe a word of it to be honest...are you hoaxing us Vic?

i don't think he's hoaxing anyone, just looks like he's ordering something from the amazon.co.uk marketplace that may or may not be legitimate (i would guess the latter).

[nightliner]

I wonder when those listings were made. They might have been put there before the release was pushed back?

[Vic Anderson]

no i checked there are for less tahn a week it used to say due on feb 7

I am not hoaxing anybody :-)

go to amazon and see for yourself!!!!
also on ebay people are saying they have it in stock and are shipping it after dec 7
in us // i dodn't think its hoax // i thiunk something intervined with the release not because the dvd wasn't ready but of management problems but that is just me

now one can hope i really dreammed of this for christmas

[Vic Anderson]

and i do have a multi region player in fact why would people buy dvdplayers that are not mulitregion?

[soporjoe1]

Description:

Formed in 1968, Yes has maintained a loyal fan base over its long career. Outlasting other progressive rock groups of the 1970s, Yes is one of the more successful bands to emerge from that musical genre.

Fronted by Jan Anderson on Vocals, Yes also includes Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White. In this release, Yes exhibits a style reminiscent of the epic concerts from their past. Performing on a stage designed by well-known Yes Collaborator Roger Dean, the band plays songs including: "Going For the One," "Sweet Dreams," "Your Move (All Good People)," "Mind Drive Parts 1 and 2," "South Side of the Sky," "Turn of the Century," "My Eyes/Mind Drive Part 3," "Yours is no Disgrace," "Runaround," "Wonderous Stories," "Time is Time," "Roundabout," "Show Me," "Owner of a Lovely Heart," "Rhythm of Love," "And You And I," "Ritual," "Every Little Thing," and "Starship Trooper."

i agree with you, but i am leaning towards it's not coming out till february (as stated on yesworld and at amazon.com). it would have benefited the product greatly to be released before xmas.

Hi Jonny, New here to site. Thanks for explaining what Tsongas is. Wasn't the 35th tour fantastic? Jim

For sure it was. I saw the band three times in three different countries: Germany, the Netherlands and in Belgium, my own homeland.
No need to say where I thought it was at its best ;-)

Welcome to this place of Yes-aholics !

Jonny

[george bertha]

Wow! Three different countries! I thought that my wife and I did good by seeing them in 3 different cities (Philadelphia, PA ; Atlantic City, NJ my 46th b-day!! and Allentown, PA). That's one of the really cool things about living in Europe, you make a move and you're in a different country! Here in the States, it's another state, but, unfortunately the same country, if you understand where I'm coming from!

[Jonny]

Wow! Three different countries! That's one of the really cool things about living in Europe, you make a move and you're in a different country!

Yeah, some of the co-members of the Dutch YesFocus fanclub, where I belong to, went further by going to London and Paris too.

Jonny

Jonny

Paris is cool, I got lucky when I was in the U.S. Navy and took the train down from LeHavre. I could kick myself, though, because I didn't realize how close to Normandy we were. I would've liked to walk the beaches where so many brave men fought and died for freedom! Never got to London though, even though I was in Southampton and Liverpool. Liverpool was cool, birthplace of the Beatles and all that.

According to Yesworld, this DVD is now scheduled for release Feb 7th in the UK, still Feb 22nd in the US. Not long now.

Surely... SURELY the DVD will have Dolby 5.1 and DTS, even though only stereo is listed.

[VanDerGraaf]

Um, guys, have you checked Yesworld?

Now saying April 12th!!

Bummer!!

[brotherofmine]

This beyond a joke! ...This is a farce!

[Vic Anderson]

omg

[Vic Anderson]

i am starting to loose all hope this is bs

[Balrog]

At this rate they may have to rename it "40th Anniversay". This is killing me.

[Vic Anderson]

lets just hope it will actually be out this year

[stevie]

Amazon UK still as a release date of 7 February. I really hope so. But I'm getting confused now.
Why can't someone come up with a definate release date?

[VanDerGraaf]

Because it's the same thing as with almost every other DVD release- late, later, cancelled, you name it.
To be honest i actually expect this sort of thing to happen when it's a Yes product. Dates are announced and you know that they will not be delivered on, It still really pisses me off though. Big time.

In fact it is the single most annoying thing about the band, it's always the same.

I remember the KTA video release, "take it back to the store, the sound is not as intended," said Yesworld.
We took them back. And then-
Nothing happened.
For months....
AARRGH!!!

Same old story.
Why?

[Gabriel]

Hmm, this is disappointing about the release date but nonetheless, the DVD content looks great and i'm definatly going to pick this up. I loved the other two shows I have on DVD [HOB and Symphonic Live] so this is a must have for me.

[Pacjusz]

Wait a minute! What happened to 'The Meeting'? According to Amazon, this track is not included!!! Maybe it's just their mistake or it might be that they cannot use ABWH record in Yes official release. Any idea?

[A Student of YES]

HELP!

Looks like I have some more DVD's to buy! Great! Can't get enough of these guy's live!
I noticed another post in the Trade Room
"Mirascheat" posted information about DVD's that were made during the 2004 season for Dream Theater but have YES also???????
Does anyone have any information about these DVD's? Where can I buy one?
They supposedly made a DVD at the small concert I went to in Syracuse NY! Wow that would be fantastic to have! My young Daughters were both with me for that concert and are now big YES fans. I would love to have them see this concert over and over again. Any Help! ? ! ? ! ?

Randy

[rememberer]

April 22? No kidding? Gods, I hope that date is intended to coincide with something important (the start of a tour with Patrick Moraz maybe maybe maybe huh?). Ah well, that is more time to bask in a few of the really nice DVD weeds. Lugano is amazing, I was lucky enough to get a copy recently. To think people were downloading it off of easytree even. Are we spoiled or what?

I hope these shows other than Tsongas aren't for sale anywhere, Student of YES... They aren't official Yes products so they'd be bootleggers ripping off the band (and often the fans) if someone is selling them. But they are shared / traded / weeded freely, as the band very graciously doesn't seem to mind that happening. The Syracuse DVD was offered again in just the past few hours. The camera's a bit shaky at the start but after that it's great too. DVDs that include Dream Theatre I wouldn't know much about yet, sorry. Kind of new here still and still catching up with Yes :-)

[jimmygtr]

Wait a minute! What happened to 'The Meeting'? According to Amazon, this track is not included!!! Maybe it's just their mistake or it might be that they cannot use ABWH record in Yes official release. Any idea?

I think that's mistake because "The Meeting" was on the shortened PBS Soundstage version and it sounded wonderful..

[brotherofmine]

Ok I was listening to Jon's interview on Rockline and there was an explanation for some of the delay. When Jon was singing 'Mindrive' he had forgotten the words and so was singing the wrong words. So they are overdubbing on that track so that Jon will be singing the right words!

[Pacjusz]

Oh dear! Did they realise that Jon confused the lyrics on January? What they had done before?

[Vic Anderson]

something tells me that the video s ready something else is at fault

[tecladista]

I know he had trouble with his teleprompter for Time is Time, and he had to sing the first verse twice, or something like that... I really wouldn't have noticed, the performance was wonderful, regardless

They fixed the AYAI problem for the PBS video, and THAT was certainly very noticeable that night. It doesn't sound nearly as bad on the audio recording I have from that night as it did in person. It is funny to see Rick in the background early on during AYAI wearing headphones while correcting the problem. The rest of the band carried on as if nothing had happened.

I agree that the material is ready for release and that the problems lie elsewhere... typical for the biz, while we get anxious for the releases and want them YESterday...

new uk release date from play.com march 14

anybody know anything else?

new uk release date from play.com march 14

On Amazon UK it still says Feb 7.

Still confused!

I think the chances are it will appear when I least expect it. I imagine one day I'll be just browsing in my local store and it will be there.

Guess we will have to keep checking the web sites and see who delivers first

[remembering]

While on the subject does anyone know where I can get the YesSongs DVD in the UK. I can get it shipped from the states but I don't have a multi-region DVD player

[relayer_1]

Forget February 22 and...December 7 and...now it soon will be April 12...
soon to be postponed again, that is. I guess I'm glad I taped the PBS broadcast for a least watching a few tracks while we finally get the full dvd released in America.

Does anyone know that if you order a CD or DVD through Amazon.UK, besides the shipping costs, is the customer asked to pay import taxes also and how?

"I could have waited Forever...and Ever...."

Oh man, I HATE to wait. I wonder what the problem is. Ah well, if I have to wait till April, so it goes, but I'm really jonesing (Jonsing?) for a Yesshow right about now.

...The DVD would have satiated my Yesdrawals down just a bit, but guess it's 'cold tofurkey' till April then...

Darn darn DAMN. Strewth and blotty 'ell!

[Vic Anderson]

when it is delivered you have to pay something $5

If the uk version is out before it should be available to order on amarzon.com
I got the usa version of the ultimate yes for the acoustic songs thougth amarzon uk didnt pay taxes unless it was included in the price.

[Vic Anderson]

yeah but thets from

usa ---> uk

uk ----> usa is different :-)

[Internaut]

It's been my experience receiving things from the UK, that the VAT is deducted but the P&P (shipping and handling aka post and packaging) for overseas makes up for it. I have never paid extra upon receipt.

Oh yeah, UK dvds won't work so well on american players, but on the computer should be fine

[Vic Anderson]

if u have a multiregion its fine there is no such thing as working well or bad
it either works or it doesnt it's a matter of converting the signal from pal to ntsc

[Vic Anderson]

maybe there is stiil hope for feb 7 cuz initially they changed to 22 then they went back to 7 so they wouldn't do that unless they knew somrthing

or so u would think!

We'll find out in 2 weeks :-)

Just back from university via Hmv and virgin. Asked the staff in Hmv if it was out and he looked up and said its out on the 14th of march. Hmv website and play.com have it for the 14th of march aswell so i am comfused wots hapenning if amarzon are despatching?

[Vic Anderson]

mine is supposed to be dispatced on the 5th but it os delayed other people on the 8th but this all can be a mistake and afrer the delivery estimate expires they'll update the dates :-)

[Vic Anderson]

[Vic Anderson]

[brotherofmine]

I checked my Amazon order (uk) from September and it's saying nothing!

[Vic Anderson]

[brotherofmine]

Well Vic it still syas that it would be despatched in October last year on it's original release date...in other words nothing!

[Vic Anderson]

[remembering]

i think we still need the confirmation from remembering before we can say anything yet

mine is supposed to be dispatced on the 5th but it os delayed other people on the 8th but this all can be a mistake and afrer the delivery estimate expires they'll update the dates :-)

Promised that I would get back in touch for an update.

I have had a reply from Amazon saying that the 2006 date is incorrect and have their 'Technical Team' investigating. They asked me if the response was satifactory and I replyed no and asked for the actual dispatch date. Have not received a reply from Amazon as yet but as soon as I do I will post it here

Hope I am being somewhat helpful here. I know we are all desparate to get our hand on the DVD to eash some of the 'YES live' withdrawl symptoms

Will be in touch as soon as I hear anything

I email amarzon.co.uk and got this reply.
Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

Please accept our apologies for any confusion caused regarding order
"Yes - 35th Anniversary Concert - Songs From Tsongas".

I've checked our website and found that this item is released on
February 7, 2005.

I have emailed them again asking for comfirmation as I still think they have it wrong! but wait and see wot happens.

[Vic Anderson]

man this is wierd

[remembering]

Ok latest update. I have been in touch with Amazon uk Purchasing who have promised to get me an exact dispatch date. As soon as I have this I will post it here

[nightliner]

I was doing a search to see what the US release date was. It's April 12th. I also noticed that it's described as being in dolby digital 2.0. No 5.1 surround sound?

[jambo]

lastest email back.

Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting us at Amazon.co.uk with your enquiry.

I have checked our website, and as per our records "Yes - 35th
Anniversary Concert - Songs From Tsongas" was released on February 7,
2005, and is now listed with the availability estimate of 1 to 2
weeks.

Each item in our catalogue has an availability estimate referring to
the amount of time it usually takes for the item to arrive at our
Fulfilment Centre.

The availability of the items from a few days up to six weeks
indicates that we do not have any of these items in stock and need to
order them from a distributor, supplier or publisher. The
availability of each item represents the time needed to obtain copies
of these items.

This indicates that it would take us 1 to 2 weeks of time to obtain
this item for you.

Once you know the availability, you can use the dispatch time to
calculate the total delivery time for the item. To determine when you
will receive your order, two factors need to be considered: the
availability of the items in your order and the delivery method that
you have chosen.

[brotherofmine]

What's that mean in English?

[jambo]

I think it means that they dont have any and are waiting for it to come in,
but could mean anything? I am glad am not the only one who didn't understand it properly.

[Vic Anderson]

bottom line they don't have it yet we will get and update soon
this happened to me in octomber so believe me i know
However we might be lucky enough to get it before April 12
But at this point everyhting's up in the air

[Vic Anderson]

new dispatch estimate 14 march
we all waited for nothing :-(

[smatt]

LOL, are you all still going over and over with this? :lmao:

Amazon will be no help. They'll ship it when they get it, period. All they can do it tell you the date THEY EXPECT or have been told to expect it to arrive. They've got absolutely no control over such things. Now, I've been told by a little birdie that it is in-fact being pressed, and will be shipped in early April to all reatilers. Therefore the middle of April is a good estimate of an arrival date. The hold-up was in-fact due to some required or requested post-production work.As for it being in surround, AFAIK it is in-fact in 5.1. The 1 one bummer about this is that Ritual in-fact has been dropped from the video. Much to frustration of a certain bass player. So be patient folks, don't pay any attention to what ANY retailer tells you. It will be out soon enough, jeez, I'm still waiting to see my cameo during Owner. I missed the one time PBS brodcast the shorter version out here in Cali.

It will come in due time folks!

[Vic Anderson]

matt if u say no ritual that is bad news why the heck not keep it
i am so pissed! damn man damn!!!

[Bluetailfly]

What!! No Ritual? Whats the freakin point?

[Scooty]

I couldnt agree more, Ritual was the showcase!!!

Im inclined to not buy this at all...out of protest.

[Vic Anderson]

don't do that to them its not yes's fault maybe we could get it as an audio bonus

[Bluetailfly]

I was really looking forward to having the WHOLE show. Put it on two discs, charge extra, the same people that are going to buy it are the yesfans and we will pay what its worth, but we don't want part of a show, do we?

[Dantalion Rides Again]

aaaaaaaaaggggghhhh!! No Ritual???!

[remembering]

What!! No Ritual? Whats the freakin point?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! What the hell is going on here!!!!!!

Amazon don't have it and won't admit to it so are still saying released. Will keep pressing them and post updates here - Their web site has changed from dispatch in 1 to 2 days to dispatch in 1 to 2 weeks they are trying to cover their arse

[Vic Anderson]

its just stpid who decides this stuff anyways? Did they make a mistake in it?

[Scooty]

Im sure Chris is ECSTATIC that Ritual was dropped....geeeez..

it really doesnt make any frigin' sense

[tecladista]

The 1 one bummer about this is that Ritual in-fact has been dropped from the video. Much to frustration of a certain bass player.

jeez, I'm still waiting to see my cameo during Owner. I missed the one time PBS brodcast the shorter version out here in Cali.



You missed the PBS video?? Yeah, you and Omar and someone else are VERY prominent at the beginning of Owner... it is a nice effect, you'll be pleased when you see it.

Personally, I thought Ritual was TOO LONG and became tiring for me that night in Lowell. I suspect perhaps its length was a factor in the decision to drop it...

I do feel bad for folks that did enjoy Ritual...

[Topographic][Sardaukar]

NO Ritual!! Wow, i've lost all faith in this DVD. I don't know who to blame. It has to have something to with the band, though. Seems every other band has amazing dvd releases. I just got DT at Budokan and couldn't have asked for more. Multiangle instrumental cams and more. I don't know whose fault this is, but i'm very sad now.

[stevie]

No Ritual! If this is true what a disaster. I was so hoping for a DVD like Symphonic, the full concert, great sound, great pictures, great angles. Why are we and the band so often let down with these DVD's.
I'll still buy it, but without Ritual it is incomplete.
Are Yes concerts filmed in the US jinxed?

[Topographic][Sardaukar]

Wait... could you possibly mean that Ritual is not going to be on the VHS release, but still on the DVD? Because I see no reason why it couldn't be put on the DVD, since it's already a 2 disc set.

[yarstruly]

Ritual was the HIGHLIGHT of the entire show...Not that the rest wasn't great...but the whole show built to that!...It's like pulling out early!

[Amy]

Ritual was the HIGHLIGHT of the entire show...
I just posted that on another thread! This is so disappointing. I really don't understand. It makes no sense.

[smatt]

Wow, maybe I should've kept my mouth shut on the Ritual thing. :thinking: But I'm a firm believer in lowering expectations anyway. :lol:

Here's what I know about that..... The night of my birthday party in December, when Scotty and Chris were so kind to call and talk to everybody, after he sang me Happy Birthday, how many of you can say that!
<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZNxdm973YYUS' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_16_1.gif' alt='Bouncy 8' border=0></a>

We were talking and he popped out with "I'm so f**king pissed that Ritual has been dropped from the DVD" He didn't seem to know why. I'm sure that if it's been dropped from the DVD, it's also not on the VHS (They still sell those?) either. It could be for many reasons though. As far as I'm concerned, I've always been reasonably happy with Yes' official releases. The Symphonic DVD is spectacular in my opinion. One thing I'd like to say is that many bands music is very forgiving, an example being Rush' "Rock in Rio" vid. It's a great video no doubt, but the overall performance, if you really listen isn't all that great, but Rush music is very forgiving if not played perfectly. Whereas Yes music is usually right on the edge, if they don't play it well, it sounds like CRAP. And beig the perfectioniusts they are, they don't want crap performances released in an official manner. I think this is the hold-up or actual tossing of the idea of the live boot cd's. They just can't leave shows as they are.

On the release date...

Remember, this project passes between many hands. Each time somebody takes a bit longer to finish their part of the production it moves on, but when one entity takes a bit longer than the estimated time, everything else has to be rescheduled. I think the latst hold-up was the schedule at the pressing plant. You know it's a catch 22 for them, the fans want a release date, so the struggle to give an estimated release date as early as possible, jsut to shut people up. But unfortunately, sometimes they release the information prematurely. Then wham, when things get pushed back a bit, the fans have a fit.

Relax folks, it'll come and I bet it'll be a great DVD, no matter what's on it!

[Amy]

Wow, maybe I should've kept my mouth shut on the Ritual thing. :thinking: But I'm a firm believer in lowering expectations anyway. :lol:

Nothing wrong with that Matt, the only good surprises are....well...good surprises!

Man I wish I could hear Don yessongs72 beach about this snafu.

You know if they wanted to chuck a tune - get rid of ROL!

[Faceintheplace]

Its bad enough this is probably going to pre-empt other Yes DVDs and then they spring this on us.

:bash:

Whatever bonehead decided it would be a good idea to drop Ritual desrves a beatin' with a crime stick.

[remembering]

Ok Latest news from Amazon. I now have a dispatch date of 28 Feb not that I really believe them

Man I wish I could hear Don yessongs72 beach about this snafu.

You know if they wanted to chuck a tune - get rid of ROL!

So, you want to hear me "beach" about this new cluster F, that Yes is involved in,lol. It seems that it has been screwed up from the beginning,as usual. The release date changed more than politicians change their minds. The leaving off Ritual and the biggest cluster F of them all is two channel stereo instead of 5.1/DTS. Gezzz this is 2005,not 1972 Yessongs era,before it's over the DVD will be short as Yessongs or Philly. I am glad to have the Madison Sq Garden show. I am sure it will be better than what's released.

The April release date,well I will believe it when I see it on the shelf at Best Buy! Why can't Yes and their promo people be consistant? This is just another turberlent chapter withn the lives if Yes and the fan getting the screw!

Oh, BT I hope this post held up to my reputation,lol! I saw your post and couldn't resist getting my two cents worth in. I am disapponted as usual with Yes!
ys72

[yessongs72]

i am afraid the is smth else the yesacoustic with the yesspeak version all together

IMHO, Tsongas, Acoustic,YS could have been packaged in one set and be cheaper. But noooo, Yes needed the money! I read the review and there's more interviews on Tsongas,give me a break. This interview,documentary crap is getting old. Give us the fan the complete show in DTS!! There I feel better,lol!

[smatt]

:thinking:

Too much Rush Limbaugh there Don. Jeez, the only thing i could possibly find to complain about is that Ritual has been rumoured to be off the DVD. As far as 5.1` goes, AFAIK, it is in-fact in 5.1.

I think the list price is just fine, about average or even a bit cheaper than average. Release date? Well it'll be out when it's ready, what's the big deal? Are you all really that impatient? Come on folks get a life, grow up, turn off the talk radio snivelers and go out and enjoy the world a bit. :band:

[mood for today]

umm. at the risk of being totally lambasted here.......does anyone here really sit and watch one of these dvd's over and over again?? i've had the MSG show since september and have never had time to watch the whole thing.....

what's all the commotion about?

[stevie]

Yup! I watch the same DVD's over and over again.
That's why I'm impatient for another one.

[smatt]

:cussing: How dare you ask that :lmao:

You know, I don't really know why people are so worked up over this. I mean, yes I'll buy it, and watch it every once in a while, if not only to see my ugl ass face on a TV screen. But you know, I just understand why people are so worked up over it. It'll be done and out when it is. None of the retailers have any copntrol over it, and only post what they're told. Sometimes things take a bit longer than expected for many reasons. Again, the only thing that I can find to complain about is the fact Ritual has apparently been dropped.

[Vic Anderson]

matt u seem to get the inside scoop but this doesn't make u a great fan
matt i love this band so much i am eager to get the whole show asap and watch it everyday. If your favourite band puts out a dvd you should look forward to it.
Poor Yes I hope they think there are still people who love them more than 'yeah another tour another dvd why bother'. I hate those people who go to the shows and like get drunk yelling for close to the edge all the time I think ctte is perfection but the band deserves our respect.
a person who doesn't understand this seems feed up with the band
are you fed up with the band matt?

[smatt]

matt i love this band so much i am eager to the the whole show and watch it everyday
a person who doesn't understand this seems feed up with the band
are you fed up with the band matt?


No Vic, not at all.ean I love this band enough to spend over a month travelling around the U.S. to see 14 out of 18 shows on the Spring leg of the tour, and then saw an additional 3 shows on the Fall leg. I'd say seeing 17 shows in 1 year would stick me up at the top of the insane Yes fan, wouldn't you? I support this band in many different ways, but I wtry to stay grounded in the fact that things don't always go EXCATLY as I'd like them to. Many of us have become spoiled in todays world. It seems that many fall on the ground and kick and scream when things aren't just as they'd like or expect. I just try to be a realist, that's all. I attempt to explain things to people when they get overly excited, or seem to not really understand a situation such as this.

I think that if you look around, I'm more than likely one of the biggest Yes fans in the world. Although I won't kiss their feet that's for sure, but I will follow them to the end of the earth, and I almost did last year!

:band:

[Vic Anderson]

ok but you should be at least a little bit excited
maybe cuz you have seen too many live shows

[smatt]

ok but you should be at least a little bit excited

Of course I'm excited! We wern't even going to attend the Tsongas show. We'd planned on going home after the New York show. But the bands manager was kind enough to offer us tickets and passes for the show so we went. I was very happy I did, and getting a DVD of a show I attened, as well as being shown are a real treat. But like I said it'll be out when it comes out. I just don't see getting mad about the delays.

[Bluetailfly]

First of all "Welcome Back Don"! Your voice is missed here, and once again I find myself in the strange position of agreeing with you.
Smatt it is the Ritual issue that has me upset, definitely one of my favorite pieces and I wanted to relive watching Rick's participation as well, something we cant watch on Symphonic. After the PBS show was what only an hour, my attitude has been thats ok because we will get the whole show on the DVD and it will have the longer pieces that we didn'y get on soundscape. Ritual would have been my last pick out of the entire set list to drop. For me, I attended one show on the spring tour, and by the time they came back around they had dropped it in the fall, so the DVD was my chance to relive what I only saw once. Perhaps for you its no big deal becaus you got to watch them perform Ritual 13 times in a row.

[yessongs72]

Oh my,my,my.....smatt what does Rush Limbaugh have to do with my post other than me being a Conservative Republican. Before we get off to a political debate involving this post I am nipping it. I do not want to get into the bickering of the past, just move on with Yes debate and Yes only here.

Smatt in all do respect I just made a comment how Yes should have packaged the last couple DVD projects into one package,like others are doing now and having success. The Stones and Elton come to mind who have released such packages.

I do agree with you and I will not bow down to Yes. I am one of their biggest fans,but also biggest critic as all here know. That's just a Day In The Life of being a Yes fan.

I am though disappointed with Yes releasing the Tsongas DVD in Dolby 2.0 channel stereo and not give the option for 5.1/DTS. It seems to me Yes/management/promoters are really not in touch with 2005 technology. This is my opinion and mine only, as mentioned above I am as big of a critic as I am a fan and Rush well I don't understand where that was leading. Great seeing you smatt and have a great day! Have Earl buy you a beer and maybe one day we shall meet and we can share a few rounds.

BT,thanks for the warm welcome! I am happy we are agreeing about the Yes debate. A bit of news, I have been to the Amazon U.S. site and Ritual is on the setlist. I guess it is a wait and see as the release date gets closer.

I am as I told Smatt I am disappointed with 2.0 stereo and no 5.2/DTS option.I just feel that with todays technology the DVD could have been packaged in that format. Heck if YS and Acoustic can why not Tsongas? I still feel strongly that Yes should have packaged the DVD'S in a box set at a lesser cost,just my opinion.

Great seeing you again also BT,I have missed our debates about Yes. Have a greta day/night whatever the case may be and I look forward seeing you around as I pop in and about!
ys72

[nightliner]

My guess is it will have 5.1/DTS surround. As you say Don, the last couple have all been. I would imagine the information that Amazon has is old, and wrong on two accounts. No Ritual, but dts.

I am another person who's bothered by the delay and lack of Ritual. That should of been the last song removed. And I know things are delayed at times, but the problem took place before it was ever filmed. If I had been Yes, I wouldn't of waited for the last show to record. We all know Jon is prone to forgetting the lyrics, and there are always unforseen things that can screw up a recording or a concert. I would have planned the recording so that if something went wrong, they'd have another chance to get it right. So what if they combine a show or two. It would of made the mixing/correcting job much easier. I mean, come on now. When I started this thread the release date in the UK was October 4th! Now its April. That's a SIX month delay. That's ridiculous.

[BredYes]

I thought Ritual was the climax of the concert I saw. It is very strange that they removed this one from the DVD. I hope it is not true.

[raz]

OK, I ordered the Tsonga's show from Amazon.

Vic, I still can't understand why you're calling it a fiasco. It all seems pretty straight forward to me. Other than the one delay which was explained, it seems that you keep listening to the RETAILERS, instead of the people that really know what's going on. No offense brother, but you need to read the posts a little more carefully.

It'll be out very soon..............

I found about the lack of Ritual directly from Chris in December, he was rather pissed about it as you can imagine. AFAIK, it will be in DTS 5.1

[1yesfan]

This stuff really does not bother me muc anymore. With all the BOOTs floating around those keep me goign till the real thing comes out.

[Vic Anderson]

i though it was funny how they changed it every week !!! why the heck couldn;t just say they don't know like amazon.com :)

[remembering]

I found about the lack of Ritual directly from Chris in December, he was rather pissed about it as you can imagine. AFAIK, it will be in DTS 5.1

Amazon now have the release date for this as 18 April although play.com have the date sometime in June.

Play.com also have Ritual as being in the track list I guess we will never know for certain until this does eventually hit the streets

I think this is getting all very confusing. Amazon have 18th April, HMV have 1st June and play.com have 27th June.

Perhaps we will get the 40th Anniversary concerts and DVD before this one

dvdplanet has it listed for release on April 12th, and shows that it includes Ritual.

However that's the same listing they had when it was supposed to be out six months ago.

I hope someone at amazon is just trying to be funny

That means they don't have a clue when its coming out.

[Vic Anderson]

we have no clue what's happening till we see it out
i learned the hard way
6 months of waiting!!!

[smatt]

According to what I heard very recently, the U.S. release date is still April 12th. It should be in retailers hands within a few days of that time. The other regions are still unscheduled.

[stevie]

I'm boycotting buying any new solo stuff until this comes out.

[Vic Anderson]

:) i'm with you

i think we'll get it before anything else though

[Vic Anderson]

delayed again till Release Date: 6/21/2005
and it will be pbobably delayed again cuz jon's dvd comes out on the 20th

[Andersonic]

don't count on Amazon as they keep changing the date...

[Vic Anderson]

it's from imagine entertainment

[stevie]

I'm only partially joking.

This is disgusting!

People have had this on order for more than 6 months. I don't care/or know who is at fault but if this carries on we deserve some sort of explanation!

[brotherofmine]

I'm only partially joking.
LOL..and now Journey is re released on DVD and available in the shops I had visions of you wrestling with your conscience trying not to buy it until 'Tsongas' was released.
I guess they won't release it until there are gauranteed enough advance orders to pay for it's pressing and production.

[Vic Anderson]

you think that's the reason?

[nightliner]

delayed again till Release Date: 6/21/2005

...and now 9012Live is scheduled for a 6/28 release.

[Hill St.]

I'm beginning to wonder if they've actually played this concert yet!Actually they did because, I saw it on PBS!.At this point if and when it is released I will post that I'm going out to purchase it.Then,I won't and post the date that I will.So on and so forth ad nauseum.2 can play this game.We are your fans because you give us what we want.SO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT ALREADY!!!!!

hahaha! Good one, Hill St. Actually there are a couple funny things in there ~ so, good ones! I know they played the concert cuz I was there ... although I didn't catch it on PBS. I forgot to set the VCR. I think I'm gonna be on the DVD when it comes out cuz I was right in front .. except that I'll look real young I expect, the way this is going!

Okay, tomorrow is the US release date according to YesWorld. Is it officially not happening tomorrow? Or is this based on hearsay and Amazon?

I wonder why YesWorld hasn't changed their Tsongas statement.

bn.com has the release date for 6/21. if the retailers all have shared dates, i think it's safe to say it's not coming out tomorrow.

in regards to yesworld not updating, that's a good question. gun shy? if i were them i would have pulled back a bit and said what quarter it's going to be released.

[Dantalion Rides Again]

Yeah, at the very least it should not still say "April 12 in the US."

[jimmygtr]

What are they doing? Re-Recording the entire event? Why on earth does it take 13 months from the date of the concert to get it released?

live, was it a sub par performance? does the source material need that much cosmetic surgery?

[brotherofmine]

Yesworld has updated 21st June release date both for USA and Europe.

[The Whale]

sihe.

[jimmygtr]

It's very suspcisious to me. The 1 hour PBS special ran a couple of months after the event - I viewed that 2x and saw nothing horrendous - this already had the issue with Rick's mellotron making an ugly noise removed as well.

Very strange.

[Vic Anderson]

i just hope it will get relesed

and something tells me it will be delayed again cuz jon'd dvd comes out the same day

[ToHellAndBack]

You've got to be kiding me! Delayed once again?! This is ridiculous. Gosh, how I wish I could swear!! I'm so damn upset at this whole thing. It just doesn't make any sense.
I also saw the show on PBS and I don't get it!

[Andersonic]

I think that the release will coincide with the upcoming tour. Most convenient to promote a product when on tour.

What upcomming tour - have I missed something

[remembering]

Ok I get the joke now. Stop doing this I'm getting old and I don't think the heart can take it

[allpurechance]

Patience.We Yesfans are(should be!lmaoOOOOOOo)renowned for our patience.How else to sit through The Remembering for the 7,142nd time?lmaoOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo(& Yes!It HAS become one of MY all-time favorite Yessongs!...through...Patience!...lmaoOOOOOOOOO)

[Vic Anderson]

it will be worth the wait
i just hope it won't get cancelled

[Mostly Harmless]

I guess they won't release it until there are gauranteed enough advance orders to pay for it's pressing and production.

Well, I'm not pre-ordering anything. I won't pay shipping for something that I can pick up at the store on my way home from work. I'd planned on buying several copies, at first as Christmas presents and then some for birthdays, but the continued delay of the release has seen these dates pass. As it stands now, I'll be purchasing only one.

lmaoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo well!--

I paid for it last October,November-something!-...and I sit waiting,Patiently!

lmaoOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You KNOW we will all love it when it finally appears.You've got to know it!Such perfectionists they are,they probably want it just so...

[stevie]

I've already said I'm boycotting any new solo stuff until this DVD comes out.

I think one of the delays to this DVD may well be individuals in Yes don't want it coninciding with any of their own stuffs release dates.

Until we're offered some other sort of explanation what else can you think?

[Mostly Harmless]

I WILL be thrilled when it finally gets released. I was sitting in the front row at the show as it was filmed. One of the camera men was having a helluva time moving around me as I spent the evening dancing my butt off. I'm very disappointed with the delays. Please guys, release release!!!

Hey me too! Except for the dancing. I was in the front row right by Rick Wakeman. Well, he wasn't in the front row.

[Mostly Harmless]

I was at the the other side, in front of Steve. I had such a good time, I saw three more shows when they came back from Europe. Dear YES and Imagine Entertainment, Please release the DVD!!!!!!!!!

[nrholland]

It is still posted as a 4/19/05 release on Amazon.ca in Canada. I went ahead and ordered it from there. I'm not sure if the date hasn't been changed yet so that it reflects the appx. time of the U.S. and U.K. releases. If it's still correct, I'll be extremely happy.

Image entertainment, (sorry, my last post said "Imagine Entertainment"), still shows a release date of June 21st. I'm hoping the best for you too, but I think the expectations are more likely.

For me, I'd probably be a bit less frustrated about the delays if I knew the reason why. I'm not saying they OWE me an explanation, I'd just be a bit less frustrated.

[Andersonic]

What upcomming tour - have I missed something

I meant the upcoming tour of The Syn, White & Steve Howe, not Yes (keep your hair on) ;)

[Vic Anderson]

Well my temperature's rising
I'm running to the store
Crazy people knocking,
'Cause they want get one more.
Let me in baby,
We all know what you've got
You better take it easy.
The Songs from Tsongas DVD is hot.

And I'm
So glad I made it
So glad I made it
You gotta
Gimme some Jon
Gimme some Steve
Gimme some Rick
Gimme some Chris
Gimme some Alan
Gimme some YeS everyday.

[remembering]

I meant the upcoming tour of The Syn, White & Steve Howe, not Yes (keep your hair on) ;)

Fould that out from a different thread - there is so much chatter here about upcoming tours that every time I read somthing new the old heart starts to pound and I have to drink a beer to calm it down!

So Monday 18 is the next release date that is still on the Amazon UK site. I am not getting my hopes up this time considering whats on the yes.com site

[remembering]

Ok today I received this e-mail from amazon.co.uk. It reads

Thank you for contacting us at Amazon.co.uk with your concern.

I apologise for the delay in responding to your e-mail message.

I have checked your order and found that it
includes the DVD "Yes - 35th Anniversary Concert - Songs From
Tsongas," which has been released on April 18, 2005.

This DVD has proven to be a very popular item. We have many customer
orders for this item, and we've just begun receiving copies from our
supplier. We are filling orders as quickly as we can on a first-come,
first-served basis.

So Amazon think that they are really shipping this even though yesworld has the release date of 21 June.

You are not wrong there. I am certainly not going to tell them that it is not released until June. I will leave it a couple of weeks ask where my copy is and with luck get a freebee out of them

[Vic Anderson]

on the other hand amazon.ca says it has been released today shipping in 2-4 days

[Vic Anderson]

i don't think amazon is the problem cuz they are tricked by image

Amazon uk have now updated their web site to 27th June

[Vic Anderson]

same in canada

[MikeYESfan]

I was in the Front Row too!
Did anybody tape the PBS Special.
I watched it but was to lazy to tape it. I thought the DVD was coming out on time.

[Vic Anderson]

new release date aug 9 enjoy the s*** they're giving us

[smatt]

The last reliable information I got was that it was due out on time. But that was a month ago.... I've got a couple probable theories on WHY it's been held back again.

1. They've decided to include the ENTIRE show, and therefore they need more post-production time.

2. For some other reason, somebody didn't like ti and wants to do some more work on it.

3. Classic Pictures has the idea that marketing it along with the swirl of excitement over the proposed Syn/White/Howe tour would be a goo marketing ploy.


It is out there in the trading circles Mike, I jsut recently saw it for the first time. Although I wasn't first row for THAT show, I was 7th row center and got about 7 seconds of good face time on it! ;) I though PBS or whoever did a very good job with the 1 hr edit of the show. It sounded and looked really good!

[Vic Anderson]

they'd better put ritual on that's all I have to say

[Vic Anderson]

yeah the pbs thing is great

[The Whale]

I hope they put stuff that I don't already have on Symphonic,acoustic, and the 35th ann. DVD somthing new and fresh! Cant wait to see the back stage stuff!

[Vic Anderson]

don't get to excited about the extras just yet :)

[remembering]

new release date aug 9 enjoy the s*** they're giving us

Where the hell did this date come from? At this rate will will get the 40th before the 35th!

One thing Vic I do believe that Ritual is on the play list (How I wish it was Remembering!)

[nrholland]

Amazon.ca still says that 4/19/05 is the release date. I don't believe it, however.

i would still be mad if they'd released it tomorrow but no ritual
