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.
