Eagle Eye Media Celebrates The Music Of Yes
With Yes Symphonic Live on Home Video and Double DVD; Supergroup Yes Release VHS and Double DVD While Embarking On Global Tour
NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--May 20, 2002--
British supergroup, Yes, has dominated the progressive rock genre for 3 decades, and now their most
lavish live performance is coming to VHS and DVD.
Eagle Eye Media, a label of Eagle Vision Inc., announced today that it will release Yes Symphonic Live on VHS and DVD. Yes Symphonic Live, distributed
by Pioneer Entertainment, will be in stores on June 18.
The show, shot in state-of-the-art high definition video during the Yes Symphonic Tour 2001, marked the first time the band performed with an
orchestra since March 1970 at Queen Elizabeth Hall.
The Yes Symphonic Live VHS and DVD performance is filled with 14 tracks - over 150 minutes of music - from a variety of Yes' hit albums. As true
innovators of rock, Yes perform their classic compositions including "Owner Of A Lonely Heart," "Roundabout," "Ritual," "Close to the Edge" and a rare
live performance of "Gates of Delirium" in what has been hailed their best video production to date.
"It's quite a thrill to be working with a band as artistic as Yes," says Steve Sterling, President Of Eagle Eye Media. "The band is well known for
their unique musicianship, as well as their spectacular visual concepts. The DVD's Surround Sound format and music and visual animations of Yes are
made for each other. Both new and long time fans will be delighted."
The double DVD, which includes Dolby Digital Surround Sound 5.1 and DTS formats will feature a terrific menu of bonus programs including a
documentary entitled "Dreamtime" and video for "Don't Go" from the album Magnification. The show was shot by director Andy Powell.
Acclaimed by many as the most imaginative band of their generation, Yes Symphonic Live features most of the original Yes line-up: Jon Anderson and
Chris Squire, founding member, alongside fellow Yes veterans Steve Howe, Alan White and Tom Brislin on keyboard.
Yes Symphonic Live will premiere on television in August.
Yes will be embarking on a US tour to support Yes Symphonic Live VHS and DVD. The American leg of the global tour kicks off this summer.
Eagle Eye Media, a label of Eagle Rock Entertainment Inc., develops, acquires and produces music programming for a wide range of notable and
high profile artists, which the company distributes via TV, VHS, DVD and broadband on a
worldwide basis.
