It has been more than 30 years since the hypnotic chords of Roundabout first swirled through the airwaves.  Today Yes, both in the studio and live, are creating some of their most vibrant, cohesive, and satisfying music in since their classic period (The Yes Album through Going for the One).  The House of Yes is an exhilarating testament to Yes remarkable musical Renaissance.  The concert blends classic Yes favorites with material from the latest Yes album - The Ladder - and captures the band on an exceptionally good night.  This set manages to capture the blistering energy of Yessongs (1973) with the technical polish with the sonic and video quality of Keys to Ascension (2001).  Jon Anderson, amazingly, is in better voice now than he was thirty years ago, and he has evolved into a charismatic stage presence.  Chris Squire possesses one of the most distinctive bass sounds in rock music, and he and drummer Alan White anchor down one of the best rhythm sections in rock music.  Steve Howe is simply in a class by himself, displaying remarkable versatility and technical prowess on close to a dozen different guitars throughout the set.  In a band with a guitarist of the caliber of Steve Howe a Yes newcomer like Billy Sherwood might seem superfluous, but Sherwood acquits himself quite well, as does keyboardist Igor Khoroshev who fits in very capably with the band.  But aside from the individual excellence this line-up really plays well together.  The vocal sound is strong, assured, and the instrumental portions energetic, cohesive, even stunning.  33 years is a long time in the life of a band. Over the years Yes has had numerous incarnations and more than a dozen different members have passed through its roster.  Yet the musical adventure that is Yes continues.  The Beatles may have been the most influential band in rock history, and the Rolling Stones may be the greatest live "club" band, but Yes is proving to be the most enduring and accomplished.
