Movie Reviews of Yes 9012 Live
Movie Review: Great Comeback Show!
Summary: 5 Stars
Featuring a new line-up, a new sound and a new hit, this concert shows Yes as a revamped, resuscitated band quite unlike its earlier incarnations. Gone are the elaborate progessive rock tunes like 'Close to the Edge' and 'Awaken'. Instead, you have shorter, more concise compositions like 'City of Love' and 'Hold On' as well as the fast moving, energetic instrumental 'Cinema'.
The new line-up is an interesting one; almost a blend of the old and the new. Founding member Jon Anderson, of course, is on lead vocals and Chris Squire is on bass. Tony Kaye, a third founding member, returns to his keyboard duties after a thirteen year absence. Alan White, a member since 1972, plays drums and newcomer Trevor Rabin is on guitar. Rabin's influence is everpresent as the writer or co-writer of almost all performed material and this explains the resulting evolution of the band's new sound.
Yes also pays tribute to its past by performing Your Move/All Good People and Starship Trooper from The Yes Album, the band's last offering featuring Tony Kaye.
The performances are quite good, each tune faithfully reproduced from its studio original. Rabin does a good job of replicating Steve Howe's work and shows himself to be a guitarist extraordinaire worthy of a band like Yes.
The only criticism I have is that the performances are pretty predictable, the members seldom taking any chances or going out on any sort of musical limb. The only exception, to me, is Tony Kaye's excellent solo during Starship Trooper which was done with much exuberance and flair.
Chris Squire definitely seems to be enjoying himself with much bantering and joking with Rabin onstage - something he seldom did when performing with the more serious and cerebrial Steve Howe. Kaye also mugs the camera and John Anderson laughs when he runs out of breath at one point during Starship Trooper. The members show themselves as being more mature now and comfortable with their legacy and accomplishments and definitely able to take themselves a little less seriously.
All in all a good outing, with interesting special effects that don't really interfere with the performances. Included as a bonus is 'Roundabout' which the band pulls off reasonably well with much stage antics and laughing.
9012live shows Yes as a top forty group with a good sprinkling of progressive rock virtuousity. Interesting for fans both old and new.
