 Yes
 Their Definitive Fully Authorized Story DVD
 Review by Gary Hill

This documentary was originally created in 1996, even though it’s just been released in this configuration. That last point is because it actually was released before as a two DVD set. When I reviewed that version here’s what I said about it. “Yes seldom do anything in a small way when it can be done in an epic manner. So, it shouldn’t be surprising that this documentary is over it has lasted three and a half hours. Of course, when you consider that it covers a span of time leading up to the formation of the group and running to 2007, that isn’t such an outrageous amount of time. Virtually any person who was ever involved in the band gets face time in terms of new interviews with the notable exceptions of Tony Kaye and Patrick Moraz. It is really an amazing documentary, and certainly the most comprehensive one out there. The second disc includes extras like extended interviews and longer clips of footage used in the first disc. Anyone with an interest in progressive rock in general, and particularly Yes fans, should definitely get this DVD.” Two hours of that release was that second disc. So, this one is version is about an hour-and-a-half. Obviously, that version is the better one, but if you can’t find it, and can get this one, it’s well worth having. Completists will probably need it for their collections, anyway.
