...date was yes it was Live Aid, I was 16 at the time sadly I didn't get to go there as it was down in London (Wembly Stadium), but I got to watch it all on the Television. It started in London at Midday, USA joined in at Midday their time which was around 5pm our time UK ended at 10pm then USA took us through to around 4am next day what a spectacular show it was.

Disadvantages: None

The Last Waltz is perhaps the last filmed document of the great rock era of the sixties. Thanks to the wise folks who reversed it on DVD now you too can participate to the ball, almost 30 years after! Late is better than never.

Advantages: It's Yes with Rick Wakemen
Disadvantages: sound quality dvd only 60 mins

Great, a DVD of Yes with the classic line-up, with the exception of drummer Bill Bruford, who I think was with King Crimson at the time. The main problem with this DVD is it's only 60 mins long and the sound quality is a bit like a copy from a VHS. Still, apart from all that we do get to see and hear yes performing in Philadelphea, USA in 1979. It opens with Siberian Khatru, which is ok, and it then follows with a couple of Anderson choices, which ...
...into its' own with Starship Trooper, which has what can only be described as a contest between Steve Howe on guitar and Rick Wakeman on a portable keyboard instrument. This a definite plus point of this DVD. I've Seen All Good People and Roundabout follow and are perfomed equally well. What a shame the DVD is so short. (A bit like this review, I suppose). ...
