Wooh! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. It's great to be here in Paris. We’d like to to do a couple of new songs for you from the new album.

We love you too. Don’t take love for granted, that’s the song. That’s the song that we’re going to do now 'Don't Go'.

Somebody stole my guitar and so I’m just borrowing this one. [???] So I’m just checking the sound. I’ll be with you in ten minutes. That sounds okay. We’d like to do a song for you which ahh, every time we get together in the studio, Alan White was always there first, practicing on the piano, Alan White, here, look. Great stuff, like Chopin.

So we here we are today, we had [???].

Jon Anderson:
Sorry, I got carried away, but we had a good time. So, one day, we did this song together, and it’s spontaneous, sort of a spontaneous situation with Steve and Chris and Alan and myself. We did this song, which we called 'In The Presence Of'.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you. I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Wilhelm Keitel and the European Festival Orchestra! Thank you, wonderful people, and ahh, they don’t speak English. But they speak music, it’s beautiful, I like them. We decided to do this tour, this symphony idea, and look back at the sort of history of the Yes music. Here’s a really wild and wacky, crazy piece of music to play for you tonight. [???] Remember the seventies. There was ahh, crazy things happening, there was corruption, there was war, the was businesses falling apart. Life was a bit crazy. A little bit like today! That was then and this is now, and this is a song called 'Gates Of Delirium'.

Jon Anderson:
Steve Howe on guitar. Of course, I used to be able to play just like that. It’s true! It was a dream in ‘72, or something. Anyway, there was a fan outside. I hope you all speak English for this one. And he said, “I’m your biggest fan”. I said “yeah, you’re pretty big, yeah”. And he said “Are you going to do Starship Trooper”. I said “No”. I said “No”. He said “Please!” I said “Okay”.

Chris Squire on bass guitar! Thank you so much. Thank you. We’d, ahh, like to continue with a new song. This is, ahh, this is the title song from the album.
