Jon Anderson:
Thank you, very, very, very much and thank you for being so patience. [???] All the [???] players too. [???] It's real nice to be back in Boston, playing for you again. We'd like to carry on with a song called 'And You And I'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much, thank you. I'd like to thank you all for coming along tonight too. We'd like to carry on with the title track from that album. It's called 'Close To The Edge'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much, thank you. We hope, we hope the [???] will help you stay with us because we'd like to present our new album to you. The album is called 'Tales From Topographic Oceans'. It's in four parts. It's music based loosely on the four Sanskrit scriptures. Sanskrit is the ancient Chinese language in which every language came. The first side is titled 'The Revealing Science Of God'. I hope you like it.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you, thank you very much. You'll play everything later. We're just going to play some music and just going to play whatever you want to afterwards, really. Side two is titled 'The Remembering'. [???]..uh What seems clear is..uh we based our actions of the last three-thousand years. Our development the last three-thousand years. Man has been on this planet ten of thousands of years. That's interesting. 'The Remembering', the last three-thousand years.

Jon Anderson:
..as under the sun. The ancient civilizations correctly believed that the sun was god.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. Side four is titled 'The Ritual'. The ritual of life. Nous Sommes Du Soleil.
