I found this while browsing the CD Universe site. Here is the description as they have it...

"A rare performance by the British prog rockers, YES. Filmed for German television in 1969. Songs include: "All Good People", "Yours Is No Disgrace" and "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed" "

Could the 1969 Date be correct? All Good People & YIND in 1969?

Does anyone have this? If so tell us about it...

The 'No Opportunity....' clip is from 1969 - quite thrashy and energetic - the psychedelic background is a bit lost as the clip is in b/w - the camera work is a bit annoying - lots of fast zoom ins and outs in true 60's style!!!

The other two are in colour and from 1971 most likely - the ISAGP is just the second half of the song - Bill looks particularly uncomfortable having to get up and dance. The best clip of the 3 is 'Starship Trooper' - still with dodgy camerawork, but a good version of the song, with Jon operating some bizarre little squeaky synth, maybe a VCS3 or something.

An interesting little curio....

OK, this is what I suspected it might be...
I have the "No Opportunity..." clip on tape fro the USA Network "Night Flight" show (taped sometime in the 80s) ...plus there are excerpts of all 3 on the Yesyears Video.
