Just found this, it is very similar to the unplugged routine they did live during the 35th Anniversary Tour concert in Chicago in 2004. They got along so well at that time that the split of the band rather caught me by surprise. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhjbe5_yes-acoustic-guaranteed-no-hiss_music" rel="nofollow - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhjbe5_yes-acoustic-guaranteed-no-hiss_music

Yes, it is this DVD: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7736" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7736 I have this DVD and I love it, especially the 30 minutes additional documentary with the really funny comments of Rick Wakeman.  |

| Oh, I have this video too. It was rather nice to see Yes playing their songs in completley acoustic arrangements... even such completley electric songs... and without any backing musicians, like violins and flutes and so (well, it would have been nice to hear such instruments added, but I think it's quiet a merit that they didn't fall into the tempation and decided to play all by themselves). And the new song, Show Me, I really like that song a lot. There was a similar acoustic set within the concert released as "Songs from Tsongas", and I don't really know which set I prefer, I guess I'm a bit more inclined towards Tsongas, because it has a cooler backstage... and well, the rest of the concert is pretty good too. Still, I think there were some very obvious songs that they should have done acoustic and just don't understand why they didn't, specially "Time and a Word", with the kind of arrangements done on keys to ascension, as well as "Turn of the Century" and "Onward". |
