Yes to release "Union" Tour DVD & CD

Clip from the DVD:


Sounds good to me

I still haven't even seen the Symphonic Live CD in stores, wonder if this one will ever make it to these parts.

Although the album was not well received, the tour seems to have been a great success from both band and audience point of view. Looking forward to it.

It will be nice to have for the collection !

The set list is great, let's hope the whole show will be included. (from www.forgottenyesterdays.com)

I too think that Union is underrated. In fact, I like it very much
It includes some of Trevor Rabin's best ever songs, in my opinion.

I much prefer under appreciated.

Yeah, 'underappreciated' is an underappreciated word!

A word I will try to use more in reviews, thanks!

Union is, however, literally underrated, in my opinion.

Originally posted by JLocke Why would you put a yawning face next to the firebird suite? Is there rendition of it really that bad? (Never seen)

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 )

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

Originally posted by JLocke ^ Yes, it is Stravinsky, and it's one of my favorite Classical works of all time.  lol, but hey, to each their own.

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

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!

From the clip i have seen, this DVD doesn't look better than the DVD done for TV from the same tour in 90's with a central stage.
