REVIEW This is absolutely the most definitive history available for YES that has been released to this date. And for a YES fan, any YES fan, it is an absolute must-have. Not having this would be the equivalent of not owning a copy of Fragile or Close to the Edge. And like the music that came from those great albums, this documentary is long, thorough, detailed, honest, and very much worth having.So far there has been a lot of buzz comparing this video to YESYears, which is not an unfair comparison. But this, and not merely because it is more recent, is a far superior, and more complete YES documentary. And for the record, this comes from somebody who thinks that the YESYears video is not all that bad. But being completely honest, it was told with a somewhat one-sided and biased view towards the "80's modern" YES. It also attempted to gloss over some of the tensions behind the band's history - all of this in support of the notion that Union was a happy, well-thought-out notion that the entire band really loved.The main reason that this one is better is because it was not produced to support any particular CD or tour and maintains a much more balanced view with regards to the band's history and the relationships therein. YESYears has some great footage and some really good interviews. But again, it is told from the perspective that the Union tour is the ultimate Be-All and End-All to the story YES. This documentary spends much more time and goes into greater detail regarding the band's formation and history. And not just regarding the musicians, but the managers, and engineers too. There is a good chance that you will get to match some names to faces for the first time when watching this video.What elevates this documentary to the status of superb is the unbridled honesty that is put forth from both principle band members and others who've contributed along the way -- people such as Peter Banks, Trevor Horn, and Roger Dean. Trevor Rabin's presence is minimal, a short interview with him talking about how he got started doing soundtracks - by giving guitar lessons to, of all people, Steven Segal. Still, credit where credit is due, the albums from the Trevor Rabin years are talked about in detail by many of the band members and much of what they have to say is both interesting and surprising. Steve Howe talks at length about touring with Asia and then listening to 90125 for the first time, then half-jokingly half-serious saying, "they want to be like Asia." But after talking for a while about both 90125 and Big Generator, one learns that Howe's opinion of 90125 is not as harsh as one might expect. In fact watching the extended interview clips contained on the second disc reveals Steve Howe talking about listening to the song "Changes" many years later and admitting that the song elevates 90125 to the status of a legitimate YES album, despite its commercial nature. This, for someone who got started with the Rabin era of YES, comes as a ringing endorsement of approval. Of course his comments on Big Generator were exactly what one would expect - but still significant and actually kind of funny. Then again, Rick Wakeman talks about how he would have loved to have played on Big Generator against Trevor Rabin. But then YES never was one to agree on things.Other memorable moments include Rick Wakeman talking about how much he hated the Union album an threw his copy of out the window of a moving car onto a Florida highway and wondering if it is sill there. Later however he admits that as much as he loathed the record the 8-member tour was amazing. Trevor Horn has a lot to say about the eighties. Bill Bruford talks cynically about recent YES projects as something that resembles a YES cover band where the members are present in mind and body only. And of course, there is the endless debate over whether or not "Tales from Topographic Oceans" was musical brilliance or tonal trash. Stories like this, and many others are what comprise this 204 minute documentary. It does not feel that long at all. Another mark of its qualityIt ends with some out-loud thinking about what YES will do next. There are thoughts voiced about another album or a farewell tour. There seems to be a general consensus that whatever they do should be something special and not merely another obligatory farewell tour to sell yet another concert video that can be followed up by yet another farewell tour. Whatever YES decides, there is something poignant about the unmistakable feeling that, we may be nearing the end of the YES journey. If that does indeed turn out to be true then watching this documentary should leave any YES fan out there with a sense that they left it all on the stage when they walked away. And that is a good thing.
