A 28-minute taste of a new documentary from 2018 touring, to accompany a live release in mid-2018.

Are you referring to this, perhaps? (A parody of "Run with the Fox" with vocals by Chris Squire himself!)

When I read 28 minutes, I was hoping for the long lost epic, "The Gates of Diphtheria".

To read of a live DVD release in 2019 is truly exciting. Having seen them live on the last tour, it was one of the best concerts we've been to(equally as good was Steve Hackett's Wolflight tour).
To be truthful, I found the documentary rather boring, nothing really new and the commenting sections seemed a bit off to me. Maybe it was because I was enjoying the concert bits so much I just skipping through the talk stuff. AUTOBUY

The way I read the press release at Yesworld is that this is a documentary with a live CD. I’m not counting on a live DVD. It looks, at least to me, that there will some live performances on the documentary DVD. YMMV.

[Progatron]

Thanks for posting this! I'm always down for a documentary.

I'm not a fan of these interview things with excerpts from a live show teasing 30 seconds of a song. Either show the whole damn song and concert or don't do it. Yes did that with In the Present-Live at Lyon and it drove me crazy..
It's obvious from the clips the whole show was filmed, so include it as a DVD. That was a historic show for the 40th Anniversary Fan show and if they didn't film it all for it's historic value, than shame on them. We've learned from the unexpected passing of Chris Squire how quickly life can change, and with a band with members of the age they are, it's important to record when you can.

It's just my opinion, and what I do and don't enjoy for documentaries, but a proper documentary to me is something like Kansas' Miracles Out of Nowhere. I found the Howe stuff to be nothing new or surprising. But that's just my thoughts, but I do WANT a complete DVD of the show and not excerpts. I've got Topographic/Drama as a live cd, it's time for a proper DVD.

When I saw "28 minutes," I thought it might be the long-rumored "Cinema/Time" epic.


But this looks cool, too!

I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner with some family members yesterday along with some good wine, today I'm on here reading this and l get more 'whine'! Well actually l do agree with most of the complaints, but just the same, at this point I'm happy for whatever l can get, thanks for posting Henry and a Merry Christmas to all!

The possibility that Yes will release the long version of "Cinema/Time" must finally be put to rest!

First, the song has nothing to do with Steve Howe. That is strike one and two. Strike three is that the song is apparently mostly variations of "Cinema". I wouldn't mind hearing a Billy Sherwood on bass version that is shortened to the best ten minutes, though.

I take full responsibility for the alleged whining..lol Merry Christmas and cherish every moment with your loved ones.

Merry Christmas and cherish every moment with your loved ones.

Especially loved ones named Steve, Geoff, Alan, Jon, Rick or Trevor.

So true and at this point in life I'm learning that also goes for friends! And with that said I'm off for round two to visit those friends over dinner and more 'wine'! Merry Christmas!

That's exactly why I'd love to have a full concert DVD of Yes playing at the level they are now at. Since Chris' passing, I've really enjoyed watching the last 2 Live DVD's since they are a video memory of his last performances.

Yes Yes Yes to all of the above^^^^^^^

[floyd umma gumma]

I've seen all of the previous Yes documentaries. I don't need any more. I'd buy a blu-ray of a show from the tour though. I agree with the comment above about the Live from Lyon video. They must have filmed the entire show. But the video had two whole songs on it, if memory serves. They should put that out as a complete show.

I think that happened before - one of the other documentaries had bits of one show, and then a couple of years later they released the whole show on video. Which one was that?

Btw, thanks for sharing this with us. I didn't want any comments I said about a DVD overshadow my appreciation of your posting this.
Have a Happy New Year Henry.

Thanks, Henry. The fact that only a still photo represents the Philadelphia concerts of last summer would seem to indicate that no (professional) filming took place on that occason, at least for this particular documentary ? iirc, your FAQ doesn't mention Philly among the locations where filming took place - is your list definitive ? Would be a big plus to at least have some footage with Tony Kaye - especially for us Europeans who didn't have the privilege of seeing him guesting with Yes this year...

My list is not definitive. There may have been filming elsewhere. But I've not seen any indications of that so far.
