I am not sure if anyone has posted this before; there is a video of
"No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed" available via the Peter Banks/Flash web site. Go to Yesnet (above link), click on alumni --- Peter Banks-- then hit the "enter Flash site"; click on link on that page for audio/visuals...there are quite a few early Yes audio feeds and a full length live video for "NON,NEN".

Very Cool!!

I have this (I think) if it is the B&W footage from the Beat Club show...I taped it from "Night Flight" years ago...I think it is also on the "Best of Musikladen" Video/DVD that is out there...

Yars, Nightflight!
Gee that was the very beginning of cable being big. They used to show a lot of old stuff like that back then because music videos were just in their infancy at the time.

Is this the one with the spinning HEAD? I'm thinking so because you said Beat Club and Musikladen. I have an old one of Deep Purple very cool. Wish they would bring some of these back featuring one artist like "In Concert" rather than the roladex of MTV and VH-1.

Nightflight was GREAT! I remember seeing "Reefer Madness" and even Yessongs on there!

The video I am thinking of is one where they are playing live...It's B&W and there is a Yes logo of the time (like what they put comic strip dialogue in) that keeps popping up on the screen begind them, then right at the end during Bruford's drum fills it says "No"...very cool live performance...there is an excerpt on Yesyears....This is the only complete song I have with P. Banks playing on video...There is a small clip of them playing "Astral Traveller" on Yesyears as well though...

I just tried to look at the video from the site, and I can't get it to play on my work computer...
