Yes - Symphonic Yes

Guy Robinson · Sep 8, 2011

This Tuesday the BD version of this concert is being released. The DVD version is on my list of the top 5 best sounding concerts in my vast collection, even though it is lossy. The lossless 24 bit audio on the BD version will hopefully raise the concert up even farther although I'm not sure if that is even possible. Anyway, just a heads up. It's $13.99 at amazon.ca. Also being released that day is the BD of Procol Harum Live At Union Chapel. Also, $13.99. They would make a good pairing I think for free shipping.

Thanks for the heads up Guy! Order placed (Amazon.com @ $17.99 w/free Prime shipping). Looking forward to this.

This is definately an upgrade over the DVD version. The video is up there with the best of the concert BD's. The individual instruments are more distinct and the top end sparkles just a little more. Definately worth the $13.99 I paid. If you don't have it at all it's a no-brainer. This is the best YES is going to sound on any format. For instance, the selections from Magnification blow away the DVD-Audio disc in sound quality. There is no comparison.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but can anyone owning this please post details of the audio streams on the BluRay? I already have it on DVD and rate it highly. Trying to work out if it's worth the upgrade to BluRay.
