After 30 years as Yes frontman and vocalist, Jon Anderson leads in fine form. His mellow enthusiasm is genuine, and this 15-song set (recorded at the Las Vegas House of Blues club) catches the band on a very good night. Squire is a playful match to Howe's reliable precision, and the best of the new songs (particularly "Homeworld" [The Ladder]) are almost as good as the classics. And while the Bob Marley tribute song "The Messenger" is best forgotten, few could deny that Yes has indeed retained its vitality after all these years. In addition to interviews with all the band members (except White), impressive extra features on the DVD include a Dolby 5.1 version of the "Homeworld" album track, accompanied by computer-animated excerpts from the "Homeworld" CD-ROM game, and an HTML version of the Yesworld Web site. A conspicuous effort to attract a new generation of cyber-savvy fans? Perhaps, but if this terrific DVD is any indication, Yes needn't worry about passing into obscurity. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of House of Yes - Live From House of Blues
An excellent document of live Yes! I have been a fan of Yes since I first heard the "Tormato" album in 1978, but there has never been a full-length concert video of the band,...until now! "The House of Yes" is beautifully recorded, both in terms of the clear, well-mixed audio, and the bright, colorful visual presentation (although I'm not sure why the concert is presented in the widescreen "letterbox" format). This also the only "official" live Yes recording to feature Yes' late 90's six man line-up with guitarist/vocalist Billy Sherwood, and ol' Billy gets in some good moments here, especially on the newer tracks "Face To Face", "The Messenger", and "Lightening Strikes". The bands newest keyboardist Igor Khoroshev also makes a great showing for himself, and manages to steal the spotlight in many places! The set list really represents the overall history of Yes quite well, with a mix of classic 70's showpeices ("Yours Is No Disgrace", "And You and I", "Perpertual Change"), early 80's rockers ("Cinema", "Owner of a Lonely Heart") and a healthy dose of energetic material from 1999's "The Ladder" (including the great prog epic "Homeworld"). The only major disappointment is an extremely edited-down version of the Yes classic "Roundabout", which excludes the the acoustic intro, middle verses ("out on the drifting clouds/the eagle searching down on the land"), and even parts of the instrumental break...one must wonder why they even bothered to play the song at all! But some of the many highpoints, like an emotionally dramatic performance of the majestic epic "Awaken", go a long way towards making up for this disappointment. If you are a Yes fan, old or new, then this is certainly one for your collection!
Yes brings down the House
As a long-time Yes fan I was very pleased with this release. The classics like "Awaken", "Yours in No Disgrace", and "And You and I" are performed beautifully. In my view, "And You and I" is the best recorded live performance since the version on "Yessongs" with Steve's soaring slide guitar. Plus Steve seemed better amplified than on the ABWH concert video. Igor plays everything flawlessly, Jon sings in top form, Alan comes through with some great moves, and Chris...what can you say...Yes fans are probably in Nirvana. Also, Billy supplied great backing vocals and lead guitar licks on "Owner.." and "Cinema". The new tunes are done reasonably well, esp. "Homeworld" which is my favorite of the latest "Ladder" release. It would have been nice to include "Close to the Edge" and "Hearts" as others have mentioned. Hopefully Yes will release the audio CD later on with "Hearts" especially, because I've heard CTtE a billion times live (although admittedly it's great) but never "Hearts" which is a very cool song. This video is amazing if nothing else as witness to the longevidy of these excellent musicians whose positive music and values can be summed up with a simple phrase, "Yes!".
psssss
Yo he sido un gran fan de Yes hasta que escuché Tormato por primera vez, aunque no existiera ningún concierto completo de la banda grabado...hasta ahora. "The House of Yes" está perfectamente grabajo, tanto en terminos de claridad, mezcla de audio, brillo y presentación visual. Esta es tambien la única grabación oficial de Yes que incluye la formación de finales de los 90 formada por 6 músicos. con el guitarrista/vocalista Billy Sherwood, el cual sobra totalmente, mostrandose solamente en los nuevos temas que son bastante horribles, especialmente Lightening Striques. El nuevo teclista de la banda Igor Khoroshev pasa totalmente desapercibido. La lista de canciones es una inconsistente mezcla de los temas de siempre con una serie de blandenguerías más actuales, acompañado de los temas más rokeros que sepultaron el prestigio de Yes durante los 80 (Owner of a Lonely Heart, Cinema)
