Disappointed

"I was a Yes fan, in a big way, in earlier days. I'm a professional musician, so I appreciate technical ability, as long as it's paired to music that makes an emotional statement that goes somewhere. There's TONS of notes here, masterfully played, but in my opinion the music goes nowhere. For someone who was enthralled and excited by the music of Yes, I found myself struggling to stay awake during the course of this DVD. A big disappointment. There's lot's of grandeur and pomp, but very little substance here. If you're looking for music that takes you on an exciting, emotional musical trip, this aint it. Sorry Rick, you're a great player, but there's more to music than playing as many notes as you can, in as short a space a possible."
