SONGS FROM TSONGAS: 35TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT (DVD)

In order to commemorate their 35 years of existency, the classic line up of Yes has given their excellent performances ....resulted in a very enjoyable concert footage. I give this live concert dvd a four star rating, due to the following reasons :

The song list : Yes give a balanced list of their repertoar, from their earliest tracks such as : Sweet dreams and Every little thing, to their classic live stage performances : And You And I, Ritual, Starship Trooper, and many more ...and songs from their Magnification era. Strangely enough, I noted there is no track from Tormato is performed ( which all of the five guys appeared in the album ). Too bad there is no track from Drama era, but maybe it has been decided so by Yes.

The acoustic set : The acoustic set covers the first half of the second disc : From The Meeting right through to Owner of The Lonely Heart. The session has a very intimate atmosphere and all of the Yes member seemed to enjoy the session with their chat and joke. Jon sat in a bench and play acoustic guitar, Wakeman plays grand piano, even Alan White plays in the front with his mini drum set. You can also enjoy Roundabout in a blues shuffle arrangement ....very interesting.

The stage setting : The stage is set Topographically oceanic, and it gives an impression of otherworldly atmosphere....Yesmember seems like gods from the ocean with their mesmerizing songs.
