I would have chosen Circus of Heaven. Oh wait. Who am I kidding? That song sucked.

I voted for Awaken, but I'm also partial to these:

Siberian Khatru
Release, Release
Sound Chaser
Close to the Edge (best lyrics EVER!)
Turn of the Century

I have to insert a quick plug for the cradle of civilisation here. Anyone aware that Rabin's a former South African? He was a big teenybopper sensation in apartheid era South Africa (then pronounced "Sefrica") with a band called "Rabbit" before he fled to the US. Just an interesting bit of trivia.

I voted "Heart of the Sunrise", mostly because of Squire alternately hammering and meandering through the rhythm. Parts of it remind me of doing a "grapevine" step in a foxtrot.

Anderson messed up twice in that concert. I think White saw it and then followed him, but then Squire and Anderson decided to stop. No one's perfect and it was nice to see they didn't try to run through it. Anderson messed up on Leaves of Green too, forgetting the next set of words. Anderson said it was "Freaky Friday". I think Howe looked like he was ready to strangle Anderson. Despite the mistakes, it still rocked. And a local radio station played an entire Yes album afterwards, so on my 2 hour drive home, I got to listen to more Yes, though for some reason they played 90125 instead of an older album, which would be like the songs they performed.

He's popular in Hollywood. He does the soundtracks for Jerry Bruckenheimer, since Glimmer Man. To be honest, I haven't been too impressed. I think he did part of the ending guitarwork in Twister, you know the part when the dogs start howling.
