Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Thank you. It's great to be with you this evening. You look wonderful from here. You guys on the grass over there, I can see you. You look wonderful here. Here we are searching, looking, searching for the rhythm, the rhythm of love.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much, thank you. (spoken) Many moons cascade one river...or in this case three rivers. They light from side to side. As we cross in close proximity. Like rivers our hearts entwine. Like rivers our hearts entwine.

Jon Anderson:
It's the connection from the human being to the Earth Mother. And throughout, the rhythms, the pounding of the drums. The Earth Mother knows how we are, who we are, why. This is a song from the new album Talk, it called about the music of the wind, that surrounds, the music of the sky, that surrounds, and brings us the real love, the real love.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Introducing, magical sounds, magical fingers. On the keyboards Mr. Tony Kaye. To sing the next song, out master of the lead guitar and our producer Mr. Trevor Rabin.

Trevor Rabin:
Thank you. Thank you. Yo!

Jon Anderson:
Come on...Trev. All right. Woo! It came, it came as in a dream, I think it was a dream, maybe this is a dream. Actually this is a dream, yeah it is. Just as much a dream as any other dream. Oh, sorry, sorry, just having an argument with the sky. Actually it came to me in a dream that we wrote this next song about a zillion years ago. And we wrote this song, and this is very true, we wrote this song on the planet Zongo. You may laugh, you may scoff, that cool, but as Zongonians will do, we would go down every morning to watch the sunrise, and so we decided to put the idea that without the sun we ain't going nowhere and we need to look after our wonderful planet Zongo. You can translate it to this planet as well, it doesn't matter. Anyway before I get carried away, may I introduce to a very wonderful guy, a quiet guy, a reasonable guy, an exceptional guy. He plays bass guitar. Mr. Chris Squire.

Jon Anderson:
All right, all right, all right, all right. Dance. Woo! Thank you so much. Your looking great. You look really great from here. Really. All you people. Hey, so wonderful to be here with you. Very special, very special time.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much, thank you. Thank you very much, wonderful, wonderful. Last year we spent most of the time putting together the new album Talk. I would..uh..on occasion go up to Trevor's house as he was making music and would write songs. On this..uh..one special occasion he was playing to me this..uh..sorta..uh..you could call it like a raggae, it was like a..uh..monitorial thing going on and I got very entranced with the, with the melody. So I wrote some lyrics down, just scribbled them down, sang the song and went on my merry way. Couple of months later I heard the final production. I still can't remember the words so I have the written down see. I just, and I felt, well two months later I was looking at what I was singing about and..uh..the feeling came to me that what I was writing down was very very simple. That our souls are eternal and that we live many many lives. And this is something we are remembering in the back of our conscienceness into the 21st Century to bring us into the true definition of who we are, what we're doing here and so on. And..uh..the other feeling I got was you never lose your love ones, they might pass away, you'll see them again in your dreams, your other lives. So the song is very simple. The song is called 'Where Will You Be?'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you, thank you very much. And..uh..this next thing we're going to do is a sing along. Sing along sorta. Hey, yeah lets sing along a song. Hey come on, I'm sure we know this one. In the background you can hear the wonderful tempo, the extrodinary rhythm, he studied that rhythm, studied it very hard. Can you hear that? Can you hear that? Yow la, Zaka Zaka Zaka Zow. Most incrediable guy, definately the greatest rock drummer in the world Mr. Alan White. Steady, steady, yeah, do shake that maraca, move that thing man. Here it gives me good chance..uh..before we start singing the song..to do..uh..to introduce you to a new friend on stage. He's playing acoustic guitar, bass guitar, electic guitar, keyboards, juggling, tap dancing, everything, you can, he can doing everything this guy. Here he is Mr. Billy Sherwood..in the spotlight. Spot my love. Sing along, sing along.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you for coming out this evening, you are so wonderful. It's always a great pleasure to be able to be in a band like Yes and make music the way we do. Here is, without exception, from the new album, a true Yes piece of music. This is called Endless Dream.
