Negative Positive
Title: Very impressive
Review: This was one of my first Yes experiences. I had been a Bruford fan for some time, and I knew that he drummed for some of these tracks. I found, however, that Bruford was the drummer for only two of the tracks. The rest was done by none other than Alan White.At face value, I was sorely disappointed. Once I gave it a listen, I was not too sad. This may be a bold statement, but I almost enjoyed "Roundabout" better this way. Bruford sounded very precise on the studio cut, and very tasteful, don't get me wrong. Alan White's drumming seemed to be more projectory, and lively; coming in on the ride cymbal instead of the hihats made it sound huge!The best track does involve he that is Bill Bruford, and that is "Perpetual Change". The song as a whole; great music, great solos, but most importantly, great melody. The chorus of the song is extremely beautiful.By far, one of the best live performances I have heard.
Is the review positive or negative?
