Hi GM86 I believe you read my review , yes the intro by Jon is very short, sorry if you thought it was longer.

The main difference is that the DVD is shorter (Only 80 minutes appx) and the quality of the video is not very good.

I believe the main differences are:

1.- Excerpts are a bit different to the album version, mostly because the DVD was recorded on Christmass Eve and he played a short Jingle Bells part.

2.- The DVD features another Howe track ("The Clap")

3.- There are no tracks with Bill Bruford.

But it's worth buying it because it's the best filmed document of Yes on stage in their most glorious days.

Also if you can, you should get YES AT QPR, a 154 minutes concert with Patrick Moraz at keyboards, the quality is not perfect but it's a great show featuring:

1. Introduction~Sound Chaser
2. Close To The Edge
3. To Be Over
4. Gates Of Delirium
5. I've Seen All Good People
6. Long Distance Runaround
7. Clap (including "Mood for a Day"  and a Patrick Moraz solo which is fantastic)

Pt.2, 67 min.

1. And You & I
2. Ritual
3. Roundabout
4. Sweet Dreams
5. Yours Is No Disgrace

Try to buy the complete recording, because Amazon sells the two parts individually and in this way it's really expensive. There are a lot of versions around the web.

Bill Bruford plays on Perpetual Change where he does a drum solo.
