Have you heard Time and a Word or Magnification?
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I'm sure you will be blown away by it.    It's a wonderful DVD.   A lot of thought has been put into the orchestral arrangements - they're intricate and tasteful, not just bland backing strings, with plenty of sensitivity and awareness of what Yes is about.   

I really love this DVD.   It's easily the best thing the band has put out since "Going for the One", in my opinion.

No disappointment here- this is easily the best live recording of Yes in recent years

It's definitely the best Yes DVD out there. The full-length renditions of Gates of Delerium and Ritual are easily the high points of the DVD, but it's all superb, even if the Magnification material's a bit poppy.

Yeah it is a good choice. And though magnification is a bit poppy at points, I
find it to be an excellent album (with the exception of 2 or 3 tracks.)
