YesSymphonic DVD Review
Rating: 8 out of 10
Through Dolby Digital 5.1 and superb, up close camera work, this 194
minute, two disc collection captures one of prog rock's most enduring acts
live in Amsterdam with a 45 piece symphony orchestra on their 2001
Magnification tour. On disc one we see and hear long time drummer ALAN
WHITE playing with equal flair such vintage tracks as "Close to the Edge,"
"Starship Trooper" and "Gates of Delerium" as well as the band's latest,
extravagant symphonic compositions. In the band's classic epic "Ritual,"
which features a rare White drum solo, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire,
keyboardist Tom Brislin and members of the European Festival Orchestra join
in, building a frenzied, downright evil polyrhythmic romp. A great package
and a must for fans.
