Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much. Is this Detroit? This is for you. Detroit city [???] oh so pretty.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. The next thing we'd like to do. A song we put together about two years ago. It's like a book, you open up the pages and the words hopefully paint pictures. "You wandered down a long gray pathway. To enter through the gates of delirium".

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. Thank you. This is a song that..uh came about six years ago. About the time I was trying to sort, sort out a few things in my head.

Jon Anderson:
We'd like to carry on with a song from an album called 'Fragile'. This is a song which basically relates to all one word. That hope is around as all day. That hope is around as all time. The word is love and the song is 'Heart Of The Sunrise'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. Thank you. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank some people who helped us put on the show. Um..Clair Brothers Sound System. We have some marvelous people over here. Sean and Neil, who've helped us with the sound. And then the red, blue, green, orange, and purple corner. We have the people who put on what you see, the colors, the lights, lasers. Michael Tate and Adam Wildi. That's some very very fine people. Oh! Some very people fine people who actually put the whole thing together, they're collectively known as the best road crew in the business back here. Yeah! Don't put that funk in my face. C'mon. Here's a song which we did for 'Topographic Oceans'. It's getting like a soul show now. This thing called 'Ritual'. Last, last but not least, we gotta thank you all very much for coming this evening and for making it all happen.
