The core of this dvd is the well known 1969-1971 Yes appearences on German
television (Musikladen) containing the songs "No Opportunity Necessary, No
Experience Needed", "All Good People" and "Yours Is No Disgrace." The picture
quality and the sound quality are impeccable, making this very enjoyable. The
past couple of years has seen Yes release a dvd for almost every tour,
documenting well their activity in the latter part of the 1990's. There is,
however, precious little footage released of the early Yes. What comes across on
this dvd is just how aggressive they were in the early days. "No Opportunity" is
especially valuable since it is the only footage that I know of that we see
Peter Banks, the original guitarist. This version of the song is particularly
impressive too. Proves just how much Yes can rock when they want to.

This dvd title is expanded with the same three songs, but presented as "Pop-Up
DVD". Obviously taking inspiration from VH1's popular series "Pop-Up Video", you
can watch the clips with a running commentary on the bottom of the screen.
Unfortunately the comments made are at all witty or clever, but just present
basic facts about the history of Yes. The third item is a preview of other dvd
eps in the series, presenting thirty second clips of bands like The Who, Deep
Purple, etc. And finally there is the DVD Jukebox, containing clips of Rick
Wakeman "Reprise From The Forest" from his Jouney to the Centre of the Earth
work (and a glorious clip of Wakeman mid-seventies with his long flowing hair
and the de-riguer cape!), Emerson Lake and Palmer "The Curse of Baba Yaga" taken
from the well know Pictures At An Exhibition dvd, Barclay James Harvest
"Mockingbird", and Procol Harum playing "A Whiter Shade of Pale" in a recent
performance (it isn't vintage).
