You can’t go wrong unearthing old prog videos, but The Lost Broadcasts DVD from Yes is a real gem. From 1969, we get Tony Kaye leaning far into his organ and drummer Bill Bruford mugging through the group’s version of Ritchie Havens’ “No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed.” From this black and white Beat Club performance, we also get the previously unseen “Looking Around” and “Survival,” both from the first Yes album. The latter definitely was nodding to the future band we know and love. We jump to a 1970 lip-synched clip of “Time And A Word” with Peter Banks still on guitar. Though the band is obviously having a great time miming this semi-hit, Banks would be fired two months after this taping. We’re back to the Beat Club for the last four numbers. It was April 1971 when the band, now with new guitarist Steve Howe, laid down a blistering “Yours Is No Disgrace,” along with “All Good People.” For various reasons, the show needed these clips re-shot (we even hear someone tell bassist Chris Squire he was too far away from the microphone after one take), so we are treated to a trio of live rundowns.
