Jon Anderson:
Woo! Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember, the setting up of other roads to travel on in old accustomed ways. I still remember, the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters, that knew the knowledge of the band, and spoke to me, in sweet accustomed ways.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks for coming out this evening. It's so great to be with you once again. We're going to do some songs we haven't played for twenty five years. It's kinda cool for us and we want to thank you all so much for listening. So much thank you or else we wouldn't be here okay? It's true. So here we go with a song called 'Gates Of Delirium'.

Jon Anderson:
Woo! Thank you so much. Thank you so much. It's..uh quite amazing to be able to play that piece of music for you tonight, thank you. I want to thank you for wanting to listen to it as well. It's a [???] singing at the end [???]. So we've done this before many many times. Soon oh soon the light. Woo! Thank you for the light. We all have the light. Beaming [???] so bright. So bright. Shining so bright now on guitar Mr. Steve Howe.

Jon Anderson:
Woo! Thank you so much. [???] to be able to sing again. I got got very sick last week and I [???] so so lucky, lucky, very happy to have my beautiful wife Jane with me. Thank you for everything, for taking care of me. Here's Mr. Chris Squire on bass guitar. Many, many, many, many, moons ago, we met and got together and this is one the early songs we wrote together. The song is called 'The Heart Of The Sunrise'.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much. Thank you. Your energy is so wonderful thank you. When deciding to do this..uh project. One of the pieces of music we couldn't miss out, something from 'Tales From Topographic Oceans. So we kinda jumped into is like feet first and said 'Let's do it' because whenever large amounts of people get together like tonight most every night all over the world, these are rituals. There's no question. There's no doubt. The spirits of the earth are listening and enjoying their rituals [???]. So tonight were going to play for you, from 'Tales From Topographic Oceans', 'Ritual'.

Jon Anderson:
..I showed him this chord sequence. He said..uh 'Did you write a song on this on these chords'. Yes.

Jon Anderson:
I want to thank each and every one of you for coming tonight. [???]. God bless you all. Take care.
