Here is the description on the back of the BD cover: "Filmed in 1972 at London's Rainbow theatre, this feature was released theatrically in the UK the following year. The film features the new line-up of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman and Alan White, and having fallen off the radar for nearly forty years and only being available previously in poor quality bootlegs, this official Blu-ray release has been restored by Pinewood Studios Post Production into a stunning High-Definition picture and 5.1 surround sound restoration to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the live Yessongs concert."
First, it seems there was more than just a bootleg of this concert released, according to some that have owned the DVD. Second, the "stunning High-Definition picture and 5.1 surround sound restoration" is such an incredible joke. Not only is the sound quality amazingly poor, the stunning High-Definition picture is barely VHS-quality, let alone DVD or Blu-ray quality.

Ok, I was suckered into the promise of a "newly created 5.1 DTS-HD MA remix" on this re-release of Yessongs on Blu-Ray. What a crock. This is perhaps the worst recording I now own. It's basically a mono track in 5 channels, and sound quality is horrible. Hollow and highly distorted, it has no low-end, or much of a high-end.
I had heard the original DVD was bad, but I had no idea it could be this miserable. Evidently, whatever original recording this came from must be awful, and no amount of remixing or remastering will improve it. If you're tempted to check this out, save your money. Unfortunately, another attempt by Yes to fleece their fans with a subpar release.
