AWSOME!! Every time I see YES, I keep wondering if it'll be the last time. I hope not, but if it is, what a swansong! As far as I could tell, everyone was on blistering form and it was great to hear Mind Drive at last. Here's to another 5 (10?) years of great albums & great gigs (if they manage 10 years, Jon'll be 70!) Gaun yersel's lads!

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. A couple of years ago, we did an album and ahh, we wrote a song, a very simple song and ahh, looking at the lyrics realizing that ahh, we get together so many times, over and over the years, that time has saved us to be together once more. So, this song is a homage to the fans. Here we go. With an introduction, an introduction with a paradiddle, a paradiddle in the middle of the introduction from Alan.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Thank you so much. And ahh, yeah, exactly. I was just going to say that, as well! Where’s Chris? Chris is going to have a quick chat with you.
Chris Squire:
You know, I love being in Scotland, I really do. And, it brings me up to a story, ahh, about Scotland. Ahh, back in the seventies, when we were touring around here ahh, we, we put together an album ahh, called ‘Fragile’ and one of the tracks from that is ahh, Rick! Yeah, I’m going to get him a curry in a minute. And one of the tracks on that album, as you all know, is ‘Roundabout’. And ahh, when Jon wrote the lyrics to that song, we were actually driving around on a little tour of Scotland at the time, so really we owe the lyrics to that song to you guys.
Jon Anderson:
Lots of roundabouts.
Chris Squire:
Yeah, lots of roundabouts. So anyway, when we were doing the acoustic, added disc for the ahh, ‘Ultimate Yes’ album, um, we, Alan and I were discussing um, how we could do it, sitting around in our hotel in Tokyo and um, what happened then? [??]. We were sitting around in our hotel in Tokyo, nowhere near a massage parlour, and um, we were just, Alan suggested we do a shuffle, a kind of a Chicago blues ahh, version of it. So when we got to the studio in L.A. I said to Rick, can you give us a real good piano, Chicago blues version of ‘Roundabout’, and he went (Rick plays). And we went, yeah, that’ll work, that’s brilliant! This one’s for Scotland.
Jon Anderson:
Brilliant!
