Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much, thank you. It's really nice to be back in New York to play for you again. Hope you have a good time. That was 'Siberian Khatru' uh...[???] Like to carry on with a song called 'And You And I'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. I like to thank you all for coming along tonight. We'd like to carry on with a song. Which is the title track from the same album. It's called 'Close To The Edge'.

Jon Anderson:
We'd like to carry on, if we may, with the four pieces of music that make up our new album, 'Tales From Topographic Oceans'. Side One is titled ‘The Revealing Science Of God’ -- I hope you like it.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much, thank you. We're going to carry on with side two which is..uh a song called 'The Remembering'. Hope for the dream.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much, thank you. Thank you for listening. Thank you. I'd like to play for you now, which is the third track, which is titled 'The Ancient' and it's related to the ancient civilizations who believed that the sun was god. 'Giants Under The Sun'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much, thank you. Side four is titled 'The Ritual'. Ritual of life. Life is a fight. Yeah okay. Nous Sommes Du Soleil. French for 'We are of the sun'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you all very very much for listening. I hope we see you again. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
