I want to make this simple: This is another of those DVDs of the meanderings of self-important, nearly-clueless critics whose insight into their subject pales in comparison to that of nearly any really serious fan. The footage used is from Yessongs and some Steve Howe DVD I saw years ago; nothing new, nothing insightful and nothing the less-informed should take as gospel and spew forth. It would take very little research to ascertain that the album Close to the Edge was an important and significant piece of work; this DVD does nothing you couldn’t do yourself if you cared to. Stop giving these people power and money; listen for yourself and draw your own conclusions, which could well be as valid or more so than this lot.
This is a big waste of time and money. Stay away from this awful product. These bozos (critics?!?) even go as far as to criticize the band and Alan White claiming that everything after Close to the Edge was downhill. Excuse me- what about Going for the One, Relayer ? I think I would rather smell and chew Rumplestiltskin’s dirty socks than watch this. This is an absolute travesty of grand proportions. I can’t believe Yes agreed to allow this one to be released. But then again there is that other awful Live at Philadelphia. Anything to make a buck.
