Review

House of Yes is true of the tour to The Ladder today as the weakest live album from Yes. Criticized especially that with Close to the Edge and Hearts two important for the band's history plays were omitted (after statement from concert-goers made ​​Yes too many errors during these two pieces ), on the other hand, that all too often helped out with post-processing. In the songs of The Ladder playbacks also came to use. On the DVD you can see Jon Anderson apologetic shrug their shoulders between two pieces. On the other hand, it is also seen that in Anderson Perpetual Change ( after about 2:50 min) sings a wrong text ( bassist Chris Squire grins over to him ), but you can hear the correct text. The Anderson's lip movements do not match the sound accordingly.
