An Evening Of Yes Music Plus.Were You There?

[Steve Mahoney]

Just wondering if anyone at Yesfans was at the Evening Of Yes Music Plus dvd show.
Its a great dvd.

I bought this in the mid-nineties on VHS video and it quickly became my favourite “Yes” concert to watch. The ABWH concert in 1989 in London was my first time seeing them live so it was special for me.

My video had become a bit worn so I decided to invest in the new DVD to replace it. At €25 from Amazon it wasn’t cheap so I was disappointed that there was no discernible difference in the picture and especially sound quality. Also, no booklet, just the box and disc.

Nevertheless this remains IMHO the best concert they ever recorded on film. Chris isn’t there of course, but Tony Levin was a worthy stand-in that year.

I would recommend every YesFan should have a copy of this DVD.

I agree, it's a very good concert film. VERY good.
BTW, it's not Tony Levin (who was seriously sick at the time) who's on this DVD, but Jeff Berlin. Personally, I'm glad for it, as I don't really enjoy Tony's slap/stick technique in classic Yes music. I almost cried when I heard CTTE or HOTS with him. Don't get me wrong, he's a master otherwise...:)

At this price I think Voiceprint could have done better.

Don't Henry started on Voiceprint!

I was there via Pay-Per-View . . . ;)

Really cool, to at least get to watch in my living room, with some Yes-friends!

Wasn't at this particular show, but I saw the LA show which was a couple of days before. It was my first time seeing Bruford, Howe and Wakeman. Loved it.

It was kind of surreal watching Jeff Berlin reading charts for Close to the Edge!
