House of Yes DVD

[Ilios]

Hi,
With a new DVD comming any day now , I just wanted to make some comments on the one that came out 2 years ago. I couldn't find a forum for Yes videos and DVDs so I hope this is the right place.

I was lucky enough to be at the show which comprised the House of Yes concert. I wish that "Hearts" and "Close to the Edge" would have made it on there but , oh well. My favorite songs are "Yours is no Disgrace" , "Homeworld" , "Perpetual Change" and "Awaken". "Lightning Strikes" and "And you and I" are really good too. The "Homeworld" in 5.1 is amazing! I don't have a 5.1 system but I was fortunate enough to have a friend show it to me. I'd really like to see the whole concert in 5.1 personally.

I wish that it would have been edited better though. I can't believe that the lyrics to "The Messenger" were put back in wrong from what Jon sang. They should have left it alone. "Perpetual Change" and "Lightning Strikes" feature questionable editing as well. They cut right to Jon Andersons mouth when he sings the wrong lyrics. Duh! Show Alan White drumming or something there instead.

All in all though I really enjoy this DVD. I've spent many a night with it. I just hope the Symphonic one has better editing.

I love this DVD. One thing though: apparently they played Hearts but it wasn't on the CD or DVD. I wonder why?

i liked the way they kept showing the same couple of girls over and over: the crowd looked predominately male, and they were probably trying to say "hey look girls like yes too!" it helped the girls were attractive. :p

i love, in the extra's, on the tour programme, there's a picture of STEVE HOWE in a SUMBRARO!!!!!!!!! it's so insanely hilarious.

Yeah that's a great pic! It's bloody enormous too (the sombrero)...

hearts was left off because chris stepped on billy cable

great quality version of hearts from 99 available on easytree from boston 99 soundboard

close to the edge was never suppose to be on

I didn't know they played "Hearts" with Steve there. Does Billy handle the lead? That's a great song ! I'm glad Steve is willing to be part of it.
I've only seen Yes about 14 times, over the past 33 years, so I'm not as "up on things" as I'd like.

would close to the edge made the dvd a double dvd if they had added it? i'm surprised they wouldn't have.

[VanDerGraaf]

Were there not issues with the performance of this great track that night?

[Vic Anderson]

it was on the sticker but it was a mistake they never played it on that tour

[Scooty]

Actually, they did play it on the Ladder tour, just not at every show..:)

i can understand not playing it. i'm sure it gets old.
