I saw them live on this tour at an outdoor concert.  My last Yes show.  I've just become an old fart who doesn't get out to concerts any more.  I blame it on DVDs.

I was lucky enough to see three shows on the "Union" tour one of them the 4th stop (George Mason University's Patriot Center in Fairfax VA in late APR '91), and then one of the last (USAir Arena in Landover MD in late JUL '91) and all three were great!  The set list changed very little between the shows except for "Saving My Heart" replaced "Hold On" for the last show I saw.  As some one mentions in an earlier post, I also noticed that the band didn't look happy being all together on stage.  Bill Bruford and Squire apparently barely (if at all) spoke during the tour, and at the first show Steve Howe and Rabin were on opposite sides of the revolving stage and Howe "took a powder" from the stage during "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "Hold On", "Changes", and "Lift Me Up".  I have read several times that Steve felt Rabin was not worthy of the band (though to a diehard fan as myself, Rabin SAVED IT), though I guess he has mellowed over the years as he was very in favor of Trevor being part of the aborted summer 08 tour.  Trevor made a cameo at the 7 AUG YES show at LA's Greek Theater and took center-stage playing guitar for "Owner", and Steve stayed on the stage with him playing rythym guitar, so maybe they have made peace!  There is a clip on U-Tube of that song and Trevor looked REALLY happy on stage playing  the song with the band.  Is this DVD out yet?  Have to get it!!!!]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:26:39 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3828457#3828457 Yes to release "Union" Tour DVD & CD : ^ Yeah, 3/5 of the band Lodgic... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3807865#3807865 Author: BaronVonCruzer

My problem with the "Union" album is that Rick Wakeman was nowhere to be heard. Steve Howe's contribution was great, but the two best songs are actually re-workings of two songs from his "Turbulence" album. That's why I don't have "Union" in my collection. I have "Turbulence."]]> Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:04:03 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3802879#3802879 Yes to release "Union" Tour DVD & CD : Originally posted by nordwindI... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3802415#3802415 Author: TheGazzardian

Apparently Peter Banks was supposed to play one set with Yes. But, from his side of the story, he was told that Howe didn't want him on stage or something like that and so ended up not going on.

It's not this concert that  will see on DVD, if i am not mistaken. The concert you talked about is the one with the central stage. This one is a normal stage in Moutain View CA.

Keys to Ascension and Yes Symphonic are also excellent DVD's you shouldn't overlook.
Yes Symphonic is indeed a great DVD, but Keys To Ascension is actually quite bad. Not the music itself, but the video is rather awful actually. The editing is very badly made and the visual effects are dreadful. Besides, the set list is too predictable. I would not recommend anyone to buy this DVD as their first Yes DVD. The two CD's of the same shows with new studio tracks added as bonus tracks is a much better investment, in my opinion.A much better DVD is House Of Yes - Live At The House Of Blues, filmed and recorded on The Ladder tour.


I do have to admit that the video on Keys to Ascension is rather bad, but it's still watchable, and I did like the concert. Plus, many of the songs on it are my favourite versions of them. And, about it not being good for Yes Newcomers, I guess a predictable set list is better for someone who dosen't know the band, because thus he'll first know the classics instead of the obscure songs. I do might even say this album and Symphonic may be the best way to get to know the band (whether it is on CD or DVD).]]> Tue, 17 Aug 2010 22:06:34 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3797709#3797709 Yes to release "Union" Tour DVD & CD : Regarding Bill's humiliation... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3796310#3796310 Author: spinsLPs

Regarding Bill's humiliation of playing with Alan White, if you've ever seen their drum duo (as oppose to solo) on this tour, they would each take turns soloing over a set pattern.  If your electronic kit were to fail, I could see how it would be humiliating to go against Alan armed only with some cymbals and a snare.]]> Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:11:04 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3796310#3796310 Yes to release "Union" Tour DVD & CD : Originally posted by SouthSideoftheSky Originally... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70186&PID=3796204#3796204 Author: The-time-is-now

Bruford's remembrance of the Union tour,

As if sleep-walking, Bill is astonished to find he has re-joined the Yes behemoth, with 8 musicians - the entire cast of “Dallas” re-united. It is ghastly, macabre, and over-blown, but also un-missable.

At Madison Square Gardens on 15 June '91, the world’s most expensive drum-kit, $40,000 worth of two Simmons SDX units in tandem, stalls completely, and Bill performs a humiliating drum “duet” on acoustic hi-hat, snare, and cymbal opposite the thundering Alan White.

After four months, it’s too much. The tour was presumably in support of some album or another, but it’s not one that Bill ever played again, once recorded.



If I'm not mistaken, Bill has said compromising things about Yes on numerous occasions. In his own opinion, he never really fitted into the band in the first place. Bill is more of a Jazz drummer while Alan is more of a Rock drummer. I do not see how it would be "humiliating" for anyone to play with Alan White. If Bill actually said that, it's some insult! I personally prefer Alan and consider the latter to be the Yes drummer. It will be interesting to see them together though.


Alan White is clearly the official Yes drummer. And I think, as you do, that their styles can't be measured, since they're different.

That solo is practically the reason I bought that DVD.

On this clip we have some different angles shots then the previous clip :

I have find this video in my archives and i understand why i only watched it one time. I have a tough time enjoy a show with too much close up shots.

Steve Howe couldn't stand any other guitarist that may have stolen his thunder. He forced Peter Banks out of a reunion gig once, too. 

I think he's lightened up a lot in recent years, though.

Well, Firebird Suite is not actually performed by the band but only played on the speakers as the band walk on stage. It is a Classical piece by Stravinsky (I think Embarrassed)

I should probably have left it without smiley altogether. It's a nice introduction.

  Yeah and while we are at it. What's wrong with " Changes"?
 
Brilliant, excellent driving song, speeding fine materialAngryLOL

Except it's new, readily available and has a pretty box. Wink


Let's hope they have done their best in re-mastering the sound and restoring the pictures, etc. Today's technology can do wonders to old recordings.

I have never seen the VHS video as it is very rare and this re-release will make it available for a much broader audience.



In terms of picture and sound quality, it looks better than the one in Chile. It's just the camera angles that bug me.


Ok, not much they can do about that unless they have all the original angles on separate tapes. With eight people on stage I guess that there was a lot going on and a multiple angles-option would be nice Smile

How does it compare to the previous Voice-print DVD release of the Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe concert?

I liked that one, I have the limited edition with In The Big Dream as a bonus disc Big smile



The camera seems to be closer to the stage compare to the ABWH DVD and the picture quality looks better. We will see when we can see the whole DVD.

Yes i am going to buy it my eyes close. There's another DVD of Yes out early this year that is a rare item. It's the only officiale release of the Talk tour in chilie. But i was disappointed of the picture quality who looks like a old 80's concerts broadcast. It's not on PA???

I didn't say that I don't like it, but it really cannot be judged by the same criteria as Owner Of A Lonely Heart and the like Tongue

Besides, I think the most interesting songs on this DVD (for me) will be those I don't already have on other DVD's and live albums. That should explain why I am more happy with certain songs. The Stravinsky intro have been used for ages, but it is indeed a very nice introduction!
