Movie Reviews of House of Yes - Live from the House of Blues

Movie Review: An Evening With Yes
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm seeing an awful lot of complaints about the sound quality of this or something, but I don't see it. I was happy with this from start to finish. I am also happy with the other Yes DVD's in my collection. I mainly wanted to get the live versions of "Yours is No Disgrace" and "Perpetual Change" which I don't see on other Yes DVD's. We have some of the usual standards such as "Roundabout", "And You and I", "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "All Good People" which seem to be on nearly every last live Yes DVD, but the other tunes seem to alternated. I see nothing wrong with this DVD or the preformances, so stop whining and enjoy it.

Summary of House of Yes - Live from the House of Blues

Captured in Las Vegas while touring in support of "The Ladder", "House Of Yes" captures a mix of Yes classics, along with more recent compositions. The Yes lineup for this show consists of: Jon Anderson (vocals), Steve Howe (guitars and vocals), Chris Squire (bass and vocals), Alan White (drums and vocals), Billy Sherwood (guitars and vocals), and Igor Khoroshev (keyboards and vocals).

Track Listing: Yours Is No Disgrace, Time And A Word, Homeworld (The Ladder), Perpetual Change, Lightning Strikes, The Messenger, Ritual-Nous Sommes du Soleil, And You And I, It Will Be A Good Day (The River), Face To Face, Awaken, Your Move/I've Seen All Good People, Cinema, Owner Of A Lonely Heart, Roundabout. (Plus additional bonus features.)


Too often dismissed as dinosaurs of the progressive-rock movement of the 1970s, Yes aimed to revive their former glory with their 1999 album, The Ladder. Veteran producer Bruce Fairbairn specifically urged the band to return to the sound that made it famous--poetic lyrics, thickly layered fusion of guitar, bass, keyboards, and sophisticated melodic structures. Whether Yes achieved its goal is subject to debate, but die-hard Yes-philes will surely agree this is the finest video presentation of this enduring band and its music. The Dolby Digital 5.1-channel audio is exquisitely distinct, showcasing the seasoned musicianship of guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White, and next generation Yes members Igor Khoroshev (replacing Rick Wakeman on keyboards) and Billy Sherwood (who later left the band) on guitar.

After 30 years as Yes frontman and vocalist, Jon Anderson leads in fine form. His mellow enthusiasm is genuine, and this 15-song set (recorded at the Las Vegas House of Blues club) catches the band on a very good night. Squire is a playful match to Howe's reliable precision, and the best of the new songs (particularly "Homeworld" [The Ladder]) are almost as good as the classics. And while the Bob Marley tribute song "The Messenger" is best forgotten, few could deny that Yes has indeed retained its vitality after all these years. In addition to interviews with all the band members (except White), impressive extra features on the DVD include a Dolby 5.1 version of the "Homeworld" album track, accompanied by computer-animated excerpts from the "Homeworld" CD-ROM game, and an HTML version of the Yesworld Web site. A conspicuous effort to attract a new generation of cyber-savvy fans? Perhaps, but if this terrific DVD is any indication, Yes needn't worry about passing into obscurity. --Jeff Shannon
