Thanks for posting. Lots of people will have missed this because of its length, but it's incredible in about three or four different ways throughout its different themes. The bass on the part that kicks in just after the 6:00 mark is unreal.

Warts & all. You'll hear minot errors by everyone except Whitevon this song.
I always thought this album had an energy the studio versions lacked, which is why Yessongs was my favorite Yes album of thar era.

Bit, I was super impressed at how well they could reproduce all that live with just the 5 of them.
I saw them at, The Chicago Amphiteater, in '76 or '77. Even in the giant barn, the sound was very good
Naturally, they played great.
