Rerelease of Keys DVD

[YoEuSI]

Found at Amazon.ca a rerelease date of Dec. 1 of Keys to Ascension. A further check led me to the Image website and writeup on the DVD.

But will it be without the effects? It does have a commentary with Chris Squire! I would asume that Dec is also a US release date since it is a US company.
No effects, that would be a nice Christmas present. Cheers fron the Great White North

No effects would be nice, and the music syncing up to the video would really be great, too. I bought the laser disc (pre-DVD) of this, but never spent money on the DVD due to the "issues" the release has. Great musical performances, however. One is almost better off listening to the CDs instead, which have none of the aforementioned issues.

Something delightfully different (instead of reissues of reissues) would be a release of a Yes event that has never been released before on dvd.....how about something from the 78 tour or earlier as a start?

# The Key to Ascension: A Look Back with the Band

Ooh, that sounds good!
A similar thing would be great on the Belgian 1970 TV special when it comes out - would be great to hear the group looking back and talking about the making of those wonderful videos, like 'Everydays'.

Agree. I actually did purchase the DVD but it was so bad that i took it back to the shop and got my money back. Why did Yes release such a bad product?

Wanted by them, their label, or both.

The band doesn't always have control over these releases.

Great , A Chance to put it right .

I really wish this new KTA dvd is re-edited. I seriously doubt it though, but who knows?

The camera work was pretty dismal in the first place and the amount of overdubs and editing of the soundtrack wouldn't have helped the poor guy trying to do the film editing.

[Andersonic]

the label wasn't the best ever at that time...
