Review: Live At The NEC (ABWH)

Live At The NEC (Anderson-Bruford-Wakeman-Howe)
(2012, Gonzo Multimedia)
Does indisputable claim that progressive rock would never be what it is today if they had not existed the seminal British band The Yes born in June 1968 following the departure of Pete Banks of Toy Shop and until 1988 had eight different compositions. Throughout his career, many musicians have passed through the Yes notably the quartet who signs this work, albeit only between August 1971 and July 1972 have been the four simultaneously. In 1988 the quartet that is only known by the nicknames of musicians (Anderson-Bruford-Wakeman-Howe) recorded his first studio work would be published a year later which was followed by a world tour named as An Evening Of YES Music Plus. Now, over twenty years after the fans have access to the show that the band gave the mythical N. E. C. in Birmingham with this deluxe edition of the British Gonzo Multimedia offers. There are two audio CDs, more than two hours of progressive rock music at its best, from the quieter moments and acoustic (about half of the first cd) to themes rockers. Why not here also lack the usual demonstrations of skill Wakeman on keys of Bruford on drums and Tony Levin on bass musician who accompanied the ABWH this tour. Added is a DVD that includes some footage from backstage and soundcheck, recordings made by Julian Colbeck, another guest musician (keyboardist) to monitor the project. The true fans of progressive rock in general and in particular Yes, certainly rejoice with this news, but it is information that this pack is not available in stores or on online sites. Those interested should contact the publisher directly Gonzo Multimedia.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
