The setlist features songs from all eras of the band's career, including a rare performance of "Every Little Thing" from their first album, Yes (1969) and "Mind Drive" from Keys to Ascension (1996)

Release

edit

On 23 September 2014, a Deluxe Edition was released on DVD, Blu-ray, and three CDs. The video also features a 70-minute edit of the band's show at the Lugano Jazz Festival in Lugano, Switzerland on 8 July 2004. The Japanese edition of the Blu-ray release includes the entire show at Lugano and "Ritual (Nous sommes du soleil)" in the correct place in the Lowell show, instead of being offered as a bonus track on the international release. On both editions, the Lugano concert is presented in standard definition with 720x480 resolution.
