It was produced in 1991, yes I know, but Atlantic records produced it correctly and professionally. Interviews are excellent. Archival footage is the best I've seen. Bill Bruford is also on here. This is the documentary for which others are judged. This documentary coincided with the YesYears Boxed CD Set and Around the World in 80 dates world tour. Many shots from that tour are on here with a snippit of all 8 members of that tour performing Awaken. It was quite breathtaking. This documentary puts the newest DVD, "YesSpeak" to shame due to poor editing and pruducing and choice of Roger Daultry as the narrator. YesYears was produced correctly and with the proper funding by ATLANTIC records at the time. I highly recommend it.

To my ears, there are a handful of English bands who are true pioneers in their stylistic pursuits. The Beatles, Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, The Police and Dire Straits (sorry if I omitted one of your favorites...this is, after all, my opinion) all have musical and artistic refinement that seems to be lacking in many musical aggregations on EITHER side of the Atlantic. Quite often bands will disintegrate at the pinnacle of their success, either because of artistic restlessness, or, loss of a key member. Yes encountered both of these unbinding threats and, through recruitment of what turned out to be only temporary replacements (Bill Bruford is the exception here), managed to survive and mature. In fact, portions of this documentary were filmed during a Yes "Union" tour in which ALL former members of the band participated (with the exception of original guitarist, Tony Banks). Every member has recorded solo albums but the musical vision of the band seems to hold the strongest attraction to those involved. There have been some complaints voiced by other reviewers about the lack of actual performance footage or bonus booklets in this DVD. I, for one, didn't have to have any frills to appreciate the intent of the filmmakers. Nor do I feel shortchanged because the songs were incomplete. In my opinion this should not be regarded as a performance DVD. It is a documented historical account of one of England's finest, most artistic and long-lasting bands.

Not the tedious YesSpeak. This is a very thorough review of the years prior to 1991. Ironic in light of what has come after it. To hear Rick inferring that maybe the Union line-up could continue into the 21st century is quite touching in a way, considering the number of times he himself has come and gone in that time. I don't have a problem with the fact that there are no complete songs here... that's not the purpose of this. It does beg the question, is there any more of this archival footage? Sad that whoever was waving a camera about during the Close To The Edge sessions didn't have the sound recording switched on.

One of the most comprehensive and revealing docs of Yes,with Vintage clips and stock footage of the Group included! 2 and a Half Hours of Magic,with 1991 Interviews,recorded at the "Re-Union" tour,the only one featuring all 8 of Both complete versions of the group,1972 and 1983 versions together! Soon after,Bruford and Howe left and soon after one more Lp,Jon Anderson would also leave,followed by then newest member Trevor Rabin...All the ancidotes are included here! A satisfying Video overall! Take a journey through the year,and rediscover Yes! Now and well as Then,the word was,is, and always will be "YES!" (For Complete Videos From 1977 to 1991,I suggest the DVD of"Greatest Video Hits",on ATCO/Rhino Home Video.)

This DVD will not work. They say the DVD is Region 1, which means it works in the U.S. & Canada. But when I received the DVD, it was Region 2. Now I can't watch the DVD. I never had this problem in the past. But I guess it's a first time for every thing.

If you're not familiar with the music of Yes then you will find this DVD very frustrating as it doesn't contain any complete songs. For fans of the band it's a must. Interviews with all of the band members, as of 1991, with no holds barred in terms of conflicts and issues that occured within the band during it's history. At times the guys come off as a bit arrogant, but why not, in a genre that rewards mindless drivel they were willing to push the envelope and wound up succeeding.
