Editorial Reviews

Recorded in 1996, Keys to Ascension highlights a series of brilliantly-staged live concerts at The Fremont Theatre in California’s San Luis Obispo. Great vision, stunning technical ability, incredible improvisational skills and imaginative presentation of ideas. Also includes the Yes: Live in Philadelphia, show.

This review is from: Yes: Keys to Ascension (DVD)

While the music on Yes' Keys to Ascension DVD is excellent, and the additional performances (a concert from the 1970s I believe) are great, the actual concert that is the focus of the DVD is marred by video production that is cheesy, with overlaid graphics and animations.

I assume this was done because the concert itself is pretty bare bones. No amazing stage or lighting, but the band, on-stage, playing. But to be honest, I would have preferred just to see the band, not the video effects.

Commentaries by Chris Squire are pretty good but overall the entire DVD just doesn't feel very professional. I guess this is well worth the money considering how cheap it now costs, but if you want a great Yes DVD, this isn't necessarily it.

Everytime i watch this i see something different. Their music , once you know the words, is a mystical journey. Now i see Avatar colors as i watch and listen. This is a must have for Yes fans. Stunning talent on display and of course the philosophy of Yes should be a universal language.
