Movie Reviews of Yes 9012 Live
Movie Review: Solo's??
Summary: 4 Stars
As a YES fan, I'm very excited to finally have this concert available on DVD!! This tour was the only time I was able to see them live and up close, 2nd row. My only concern is the misleading title. According to the set list, none of the solos are going to be on the new DVD. Thats extremely disappointing!!. Solly's Beard, Si, Soon, and others are not on the set list. Is none of that footage available from this tour? Trevor Rabin's lightning fast guitar solo was just one of those unforgettable, magical moments from this tour. To this day, I remember it vividly, like it was yesterday. Why would they leave this out? There is plenty of room on the DVD for the solos. There still is time left. Hopefully, it could still be considered. Until then.....4 stars, not 5.Movie Review: Yes - The MTV Years
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a truely 110% loyal Yes fan. I like all the phases of their career. This phase is nothing at all like the others. However, it is very good! When veiwing this DVD, just watch the incredible talents of each band member. This is a very exciting show to watch. If you are only loyal to the early and mid-70's years of Yes, this is not for you. 90125 was one of the best albums that was released that year and nearly all the performances herein are from that release. If you liked 90125, you'll love this DVD. I will be buying it for the extras. I already own it on VHS.Movie Review: 9012Live DVD to be released in late spring '06
Summary: 4 Stars
From the official Yes web site (12/23/05):
9012Live, the DVD release of the concert video from the '80s, is now scheduled to be released late spring of 2006. In addition to the original footage with graphics the DVD will also include the concert without the effects as well as backstage footage by director Steven Soderbergh.
Movie Review: EXTRA SONGS????.....INTERVIEWS?????
Summary: 4 Stars
If it's true that there are extra-songs in this remastered dvd then those will be of course the Rabin distorted versions of Roundabout, Yours Is No Disgrace and And You And I.
Anyway, it would be interesting to have the thoughts of the band at that time.
Movie Review: NEEDS A MAJOR FACE LIFT!
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been a Yes fan for many years now. I have studied Yes' music for years as a professional musician and fully hail them as one of the greatest and most amazing bands in music today. Yes has always been at the forefront of pushing technology in music and video production, however this one seems to have slipped through the cracks. The video track is barely improved from the original VHS release. The only improvement in the video that was made was removing that CGI crap that took away from some great moments of seeing the band, but hey thats production, what can I say? I'm a television producer myself, sometimes people like all that fluff and nonsense. Since film is generally almost always 16:9, if the film was shot in 16:9 then it should be released as such. That alone preserves a lot of resolution and integrity. For all that Yes has given us over the years this should be a next project for a blu-ray re-master/transfer. There are a lot of adjustments needed for the video track.
As for the sound, I have been doing surround mixes for years now. This is one of the poorest excuses for a 5.1 soundtrack ever. Its really a phantom 5.1 mix. If you listen closely on a good home theater system you will notice that nothing is virtually discreet or assigned to a specific channel. The levels are just panned and alternate-level mixed into 6 channels. If you listen to the release of 35th Anniversary Concert or Live at Montreux you will hear a drastic difference. The way a typical 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS mix is this:
Center: Lead Vocals, Misc Instrument Pans
Left Front, Right Front: Percussion, Back Vocals, Keyboards, Audience
LFE: All low frequency bass and effects
Left Surround/Right Surround; For Effect Pans and Audience
None of this is evident in the 9012Live dvd. As great of a band as Yes is and as great a video as that was it should have not been released and thrown together so quick just to suit demands.
Take this back to the studio, re-master it to high definition and completely re-master the soundtrack. If no one wants to do this, then I will lol. YES DESERVES THE BEST IN MY EYES! I THINK THATS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!
