Yesspeak - 35th Anniversary

Starring: Yes

RS: 2of 4 Stars

This combo tour diary and concert film will bore anyone unfamiliar with Yes' fantastical prog-rock, and, since it reveals little about the band, it might also prove useless to longtime fans. Following Yes on their thirty-fifth anniversary tour of Europe, the film finds the group discussing spiritual awakening, the tediousness of touring and their belief that Yes were at least twenty years ahead of their time. Like many Yes songs, the whole package just kind of noodles when it ought to focus.
