As part of the early 70's progressive music boom YES were quite obviously the leaders in their field, challenged only by the likes of ELP and Genesis. Mixing together classical music and Rock styles, YES became a huge stadium attraction and are still pulling huge audiences in their 35th Anniversary year. The 3 hour film shot during their 35th Anniversary year is an intimate and humorous observation into their music, their life on the road and their own personal views. The DVD shows footage from the Worldwide tour as well as providing revealing interviews with all the band members which allow for the real characters of the YES line up to be expressed. YES have been touring regularly over the past few years but their anniversary year has shown just how popular the prog-rockers still are. With the 35th Anniversary Best Of album reaching no.10 in the UK charts it illustrates the continuing success of one of the world's most influential rock bands. YES stand for excellent music standards, strong melodies, stunning musicianship and clever improvisation. This DVD will delight and entertain new and old YES fans alike.

The depth of their music is still as shocking to me today as it was to me as a little kid." -- John Frusciante-Red Hot Chilli Peppers Track List Includes SIBERIAN KHATRU / MAGNIFICATION / DON'T KILL THE WHALE / IN THE PRESENCE OF/ WE HAVE HEAVEN / SOUTH SIDE OF THE SKY / AND YOU AND I / HEART OF THE SUNRISE / LONG DISTANCE RUNAROUND / THE FISH (SHINDLERIA PRAEMATURUS) / AWAKEN / I'VE SEEN ALL GOOD PEOPLE / ROUNDABOUT / YOURS IS NO DISGRACE / NO OPPORTUNITY NECESSARY, NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED - PLUS - SOLO PERFOMANCES FROM EACH ARTIST DVD Format:  Part One 'Sacred Ground'  Part Two 'Full Circle'  Part Three 'There'll Always be a Yes'  Part Four 'Spotlight on Chris' Part Five 'Spotlight on Jon' Part Six 'Spotlight on Steve' Part Seven 'Spotlight on Alan' Part Eight 'Spotlight on Rick' Part Nine 'On the Road' Part Ten 'Yes Music' Extras To Include: The Making of the Movie  Documentary Audio Only Feature (150 min Set) Classic Pictures Shepperton International Film Studios Studios Road,  Shepperton,  Middlesex  TW17 0QD UK Tel: 0044 1932 592016 Fax: 0044 1932 592046 http://www.classicpictures.co.uk Close Window YesInThePress.com For site comments, problems, corrections, or additions, contact YesinthePress@aol.com
