One should think that with the killer epics Close To The Edge, Gates of Delirium and
Ritual, three of my all time favourites, this couldn't go wrong.Unfortunately it seems like they don't think that the orchestra is able to play anything faster than eighth notes. All the songs moves too slowly. There are great moments, Ritual probably the best, and And You And I works fine. However the orchestra is not given enough confidence, the musicians, both Yes and the orchestra, seems restrained. Great sound though! Also I can't believe that they included so much filler songs (Long Distance Runaround, I've Seen All Good People, Owner of a Lonely Heart and Roundabout) and omitted all the cool songs (Perpetual Change, Siberian Kathru, Heart of the Sunrise etc.). And the new songs are unnecessary in this context. The animations are cool under Gates of Delirium, but overall they are amateurish. Not a great performance, but no damage done since you still got the studio versions, Yessongs and Yesshows.
