Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much! It’s great to be with you here in Las Vegas. It’s great to be here looking for the rhythm, looking for the ‘Rhythm of Love’

Jon Anderson:
Wooh! Many moons cascade one river, they light from side to side. As we cross in close proximity, like rivers our hearts entwine.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Here’s another song from the new album ‘Talk’. A song about Earth music, about the sky music, about the fire within, about ‘Real Love’, the ‘Real Love’.

Trevor Rabin:
Thank you!

Jon Anderson:
Trev. Wooh! Wooh! Thank you so much! Thank you! So after this next song we're going to have a little intermission and ahh, re-group backstage, figure out what we’re gonna do for the rest of the evening. Here’s a song that, rumour has, that we wrote this song a zillion years ago, and it was on the planet Zongo. As Zongonians, me and Chris, we wrote this song together. And let me introduce to you the one, the only, the formidable, Chris Squire on bass geetar – wow!

Jon Anderson:
Alright! Thank you. Thank you. Must be Las Vegas!

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. La La La. Thank you. Most of last year was taken up with making a new album called ‘Talk’. I would, ahh, wander up to Trevor’s house, up in Hollywood hills there, and, ahh, we’d write songs and he’d play me some music, and one day he played me this piece of music, and I wrote down the lyrics and everything and, ahh, I’ve still get them written down, because I can’t remember the damn lyrics! But they’re pretty simple, but for some reason, I don’t have them here. I feel very uncomfortable. It’s a song that, ahh, I listened to later when we finished the album. I was listening to the lyrics when I was writing, because they are very simple. It made me think about the idea that the lyrics mean we, we’ve lived many lives and this is just another life to live through and discover and replenish our consciousness, stuff like that. And the idea came to me that maybe, in those different lives we’ve lead, maybe we were once Native American Indians. That’s why we’re back here again. And maybe one time we were African, maybe we were one time Chinese, Indonesian, South American, Italian, German and so on, and so on. This song is called “Where Will You Be”.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. Now we’re going to do a sing along song. So you can sing a long, you know. First of all we need the dynamic, hand shaking, hand trembling of Mr. Alan White there on the maracas! The one and only Alan White on the maracas! And before we sing along, with a song that we all know so very well, well I think I know it, a bit. I’m introducing to you, a new friend on stage who’s playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, dancing, singing, clapping his hands, shaking his hair.. in the spotlight, Mr. Billy Sherwood. Here comes the sing along part, okay? It’s for my love.

Trevor Rabin:
Wooh!

Trevor Rabin:
Wooh! Thank you.

Jon Anderson:
Woooh! Woah! Thank you so much, thank you. So wonderful, thank you. The great thing about being in the group Yes is to be able to come out and play to Yes fans like yourself tonight, just a bit! Yes it does! You have that energy and we work off the energy, we do it together. Another reason for being in a group like Yes is to play a piece of music, this is from the new album ‘Talk’, this is real Yes music, this is called “Endless Dream”.

Trevor Rabin:
Thank you.
