Having gone through one musical wormhole after another through the years, I have to admit that I still harbor a soft spot for that hyper-technical, super-virtuosic mountain of sweet smelling dung known as progressive rock. Probably because like the best psychedelic rock (which birthed it), it can take you someplace both alien and completely new. And for that, Yes deserves some respect whether they’re encased in that sterile monument to rock and roll or not.Other than that, beyond their first three releases they mostly sucked.

Roger Dean’s work has never been outdated.It has always spoken to the dreamer in all of us. And, seventies progressive rock is not pre tentious. Done well, which most of it was, pushed the envelope of what rock music at that time could do.

Yea I bought these DVDs too. I think I got full value for my money. What I liked about these DVD’s is the band members talking and recounting about each song and special moments in the history of the group.Dusty’s number “Son Of A Preacher Man,” is still a masterpiece.Wow what a singer she was!!!! Small Faces “Itchycoo Park”, and “Green Circles.” are psychedelic treasures.”No milk Today” by Herman’s Hermits is still a joy to watch. All said and done, this compilation is neatly done piece of work
