This review is from: An Evening of Yes Music Plus (Audio CD)
Longtime Yes fans know about the civil war that erupted between the two factions of Yes in the late '80s-1990. The "West" lineup owned the name, so the "East" lot had to use a lawyer's office byline. It was still Yes as far as fans were concerned, given the endless turnover throughout the years. (Let's just call a spade a shovel!) This concert was recorded and filmed on 9 September 1989 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountainview, CA (outside San José, as Jon Anderson mentioned, around where he lives now). Session players filled out the rest of the band (Stick-master Tony Levin was on sick leave). Tracks from the sole studio album and old Yes chestnuts are featured. I have the original EU indie release from 1993, and "Starship Trooper" is omitted. It was on the 1994 US edition on Herald/Caroline I used to have (real fans would buy some imports). There are some typos. The biggest is "Gone But Not Forgotten", a poignant Rick Wakeman instrumental from 1983, which isn't here, but "Madrigal" from 1978's "Tormato", is instead used in his solo medley. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" is performed acoustically in Anderson's solo allotment, as the others may not have wanted to touch that one (they would on the "Union" and other later tours, however). Not wanting to leave out Bill Bruford, his drumming is stronger than before, where he had a more of a jazz fusion approach, which he still uses, I suppose. This was recently reissued by leading UK independent Voiceprint, who have a number of solo and side releases in the Yes and Asia family.
