(Review from progarchives.com, wikipedia)

Jon Anderson’s enduring falsetto has left an indelible mark on progressive rock; his distinctive rich vocals are unparalleled and continue to entertain audiences worldwide. These two discs offer exceptional live tracks as well as excellent studio work. The “classic lineup”, which is on tour currently working their way through their huge volume of music, is in stellar form on each of these wonderful two discs sets. Yes, you will hear many of the songs that you have heard repeatedly on live albums before but I sincerely promise that they will not disappoint. Every time you do hear these songs they have something new to offer, a subtle nuance or atmosphere that features another instrument in their all-start lineup, or Anderson approaching his vocals in different way. They always manage to keep you interested with incredibly good musicianship and lead vocals that have not faltered after nearly thirty-five years.

By the end of 1995; Billy Sherwood, Tony Kaye and Trevor Rabin had left Yes. The band surprised and delighted fans by reforming with the classic 1970s lineup of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Alan White, Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman after 15 years; for a three-night live performance in the California town of San Luis Obispo in 1996. The resulting live recordings were released, together with new music, on the Keys to Ascension albums.

The tracks included are some of Yes’ true classics, i.e. “Siberian Khatru”, “Starship trooper”, “Revealing science of God”, etc., all performed flawlessly. The highlight of the live set is undoubtedly “Awaken”. This sleeping giant does indeed awaken, the rendition here being slightly slower in parts, bringing out the full majesty of the piece. In particular, the powerful section towards the end becomes a cacophony of magnificent fanfares with a wall of sound lifting things ever higher, before Jon Anderson brings us slowly back to earth with the peaceful conclusion. A genuinely awesome piece.

There does appear to be some liberal overdubbing of the performance, especially in respect of the vocals, but give the lengthy sabbatical enjoyed by the band, this is perhaps forgivable.

The last two tracks featured studio recordings of new compositions recorded in the autumn of 1995 until early 1996. “Be The One” is a wonderful, melodious YesWork. By its beauty, this song reminds of “&Y&I”, although in some parts it rocks like “Siberian”. “That, That Is” is a lengthy epic, going on with many changing tempos and melodies — perhaps a goodbye to the FM and AOR times.
