Over the last few evenings I viewed the Yes double-DVD release Songs from Tsongas, from their 2004 35th anniversary tour.
Right off the bat, I found myself surprised by the fact that the opening song, Going for the One, knocked my socks off. I always hated that song. They played 2 other songs from the same album: Turn of the Century (which I always liked), Wondrous Stories (didn't like), along with And You and I (didn't like). For some reason I like them now. Go figure.
They also included South Side of the Sky, which they've hardly ever done in concert, and Ritual, from Tales from Topographic Oceans. Glad they had one from Tales!
The "unplugged" version of Roundabout was cool, but I would've preferred the full-calorie version. Likewise with Long Distance Runaround.
One other thought - they could've had the camera on Steve Howe the whole show and I would've been happy. The man is incredible with the guitar - but everybody knows that, don't they?
