Howe Squire White of YES
"In The Present" Tour
Hard Rock Live
Hollywood, FL (sometimes referred to as Fort Lauderdale, FL, which is ten minutes away)
December 17, 2008

This show was the last concert of the 2008 tour. (As it turned out, they only played one show of the subsequent leg, in Mexico City, before Squire had medical problems which forced the cancellation of the rest of the tour.)

I received this audience-filmed video in a trade so I don't have the actual source info. It is 95% complete. Filming is fairly steady--the camera was definitely braced on something the majority of the time. Sound is decent. There are plenty of nice head-to-waist close-ups. There are occasional problems (see below), however they don't really detract from the overall presentation. I watched the entire thing in one sitting, which is more than I can say for most audience videos. If you are a Yes fan this will be a nice addition to your collection.

Screen shots below.

Steve Howe: Guitars
Chris Squire: Bass
Alan White: Drums
Benoit David: Vocals
Oliver Wakeman: Keyboards

Technical info:
DVD received in trade --> .vob files edited in MPEG Streamclip (official material deleted) --> resulting .vob file burned with Toast 8 Titanium --> DVD --> Mac The Ripper --> VIDEO_TS file

Menu: No
Chapters: Every 5 minutes
Autoplay: Yes
Artwork: Not yet

Video attributes: DVD-NTSC, MPEG-2, 16:9, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps, video bitrate 4.88 Mbps
Audio attributes: AC3, 48 kHz, audio bitrate 192 kbps

Please excuse the autoplay, lack of menu, and every-five-minute markers. The last time I upped a video, I was criticized (and the torrent ultimately banned) because I introduced an analog stage when converting. This time, I worked directly with the digital files, only editing out official material which the producer had tacked on to the beginning and the end of the disc. Everything else is exactly as I got it. NO RE-ENCODING.

Flaw disclosure: Several minutes missing from Siberian Khatru. Digi-glitch in I've Seen All Good People. Mood For A Day Missing. First minute of And You And I missing, followed by audio glitches and shake. Owner Of A Lonely Heart marred by shake, glitches, camera ducks, and Benoit losing his voice.

Total time: 1:56:06
