Plot summary

Filmed live at London's Rainbow Theatre in December 1972, the innovative group Yes performs its progressive rock symphonies -- epic compositions that influenced new trends in contemporary music. "Yessongs" provides a visual record of the concert tour that became a groundbreaking tour de force in rock music. This unique concert video of Yes was filmed during their record-breaking tour and features the talents of the five original band members. The massively popular band defined the prog rock movement with their mystical epics which infused both a Medieval and Classical sound into rock music. Titles performed include "Close to the Edge," "All Good People," and "Roundabout."

Showcasing Yes’s brilliance even in their early years

Showcasing Yes’s brilliance even in their early years, Yessongs, like its album counterpart of the same name, includes performances of all the songs that fans of the band undoubtedly love.

Yessongs has to be one of the best live concerts i've seen on screen. Yes has to be one of the best progressive rock bands around. Their music has touched my heart, and these live performaces are just spectacular. Here we have the Alan White on drums, replacing Bill Brufored during the Close to the Edge tour, Rick Wakeman on keyboards, with his amazing solo of 'Excerpts from Wives of Henry..', Chris Squire on bass, Steve Howe, performing 'The Clap' furiously, and Jon Anderson on vocals, who never fails to prove that he has one of the most unique voices in the business. The best songs here, are 'And You And I', 'Yours Is No Disgrace', and 'Close to the Edge'. The only thing about 'Close to the Edge' is that during the song, images of organisms and living cells and what not are shown, and it gets annoying especially during the awesome parts in the song. Also, songs like 'Siberian Khatru', and 'Roundabout', which was found on the CD, isn't found on this film. Either way, the concert is awesome. Yessongs was also hard to find awhile ago, which was out of print for a time. But recently, Yessongs was rereleased on DVD. All Yes fans must see this film.

Flawed but prog gold.

At 72m it's too short but in these days if a concert was filmed it was for cinema release of via a TV company. This is the former.largely shot in close up and with no stageshow to speak of this lives on the performances - The current DVD (Odeon) has it in 5.1 but as I don't have that I flicked between original and 5.1 - both sound the same to me which takes away from the overall impact.It's Yes at their finest - and how you read that will colour your view of the film - They are one of those bands you either get or don't.The DVD has several extras which add value but if your a prog fan you need this in your collection - If not avoid.
