A good movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since I always had a weak spot for Yes and since this movie was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, I have to admit that, in the progressive rock genre, I always preferred Pink Floyd which was and still is one of my favorite bands. Still, Yes is definitely a pretty good band though and it was pretty cool to see them perform. Concerning the movie itself, the sound was not great though and they really did nothing interesting visually speaking. At least, the band members were shot properly so you could clearly see what they were doing. My uncle who is a real fan told me that Steve Howe was actually a really great guitarist and I could clearly see that thanks to this movie. It was rather funny to see him changing guitar for basically every song but the guy definitely knew what he was doing, that’s for sure. Rick Wakeman at the keyboard was also really good, even if he did look rather ridiculous with his cape. Another cool thing was the fact that this concert was shot around the time they released the ‘Close to the Edge’ LP so they were basically at the peak of their popularity at the time. I don’t have this album in my collection (as I told you before, I’m more a Pink Floyd fan) but I remembered listening to my father’s LP which was basically how I discovered this band pretty much 30 years ago. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was not one of the greatest film concerts I have seen, it was still a decent watch though and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like Yes.
