This really feels like it could have been lifted from any number of live Yes performances over the years, and I’ve heard a lot of live Yes recordings. I don’t hear anything that really stands out here, but on the other hand, every live Yes show has its own identity, its own nuances. The same is true of this.

The real power of this performance is that again, it could easily pass as a long lost Yes recording. Yet it’s a modern version. It has its own slight variants that each live show has. That said, it has some of the fiercest guitar soloing I’ve ever heard on this number.

Here we have another faithful rendition of a classic Yes track. I really love some of the synthesizer nuances as it’s heading in the mellower section mid-track.

Now I can hear some definite differences on the bass work here. That’s not a bad thing at all. It still feels like the kind of thing Chris Squire would have played. It’s just different from anything he ever actually played. And, it’s not a huge departure. There are a few other things that just feel a little different, too, reminding the listener that while this is very faithful, this is a Jon Anderson performance, not a Yes performance.

This one gets a very faithful arrangement and performance. It again feels like it could have come from an old Yes live recording. This thing gets so fierce later in the instrumental section. It still stays true to sounding like Yes, but it feels like one of the best Yes performances ever of the piece.

On the one hand, a lot of this live performance of the Yes epic feels very faithful. That said, there are parts that feel more intense.

There are some unfamiliar sounds on this early that I don’t think work all that well. Once it gets out of the first vocal movement, and the track builds up more, that resolves, though. I’m probably just too familiar with this song to appreciate the change, but the sound I’m talking about is a repeated single tone throughout the early parts that just sticks out to me. It really mars my appreciation of the performance. That said, once that’s gone, this really gels and captures the magic I expect.

Here we get another faithful rendition of a Yes classic. It works well, but doesn’t really stand out.

Now, this epis is one that’s more of a lost gem. I’ve heard Yes do it live before, but it’s not the mainstay that so much here is. That rarity of live performances makes this one special. The scorching hit rendition makes it even more so.

Now, from a piece where the rarity makes it special to the most over-played Yes song of all time. This is a solid rendition, but I’m largely over this song after hearing it so many times over the past 50-plus years.
