Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you very much. It's great to be with you this evening. Thank you all for coming out. On this night to this wonderful, wonderful building. Thank you Queen Victoria for getting it together. This..and..uh I'd like to call tonight not Royal Albert Hall. We're going to call it the house of Yes.

Jon Anderson:
Steve Howe on guitar. Thank you so much. Thank you. For a change of pace we're going to do a couple of songs from the new album and..uh a quick reminder for myself we did the album in Vancouver last winter. I think it was last winter. It's all a dream baby, like life. Anyway the producer is..uh this guy Bruce Fairburn. He's a great guy, great teacher and he loved Yes music very much and he said be adventurous. So we were very adventurous as you can tell if you got the album. Yes. So who..we're going to start off with a song. It's called 'Lightening Strikes' and lightening can strike at any level as long as its the lightening of love. Love.

Jon Anderson:
Chris Squire on bass guitar. [???] dedicated that song to his new born son. Two weeks old. Cameron. Hey. [???] lightening strikes. Hey. [???] look after Cameron and Cameron is going to get a good time. We love them, little boys. Little boys. We're going to do a song which..uh again from the new album. I was writing words about it and Bruce said "Why don't you write about somebody who changed your life musically" and I thought Bob Marley right away and..uh so we dedicate this song for Bob Marley, the legend and..uh [???] just finished recording track and walked outside. He was on MTV [???] in the lounge. Here is "The Messenger". Alright.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Thank you. This is a dedication to my wonderful wife Jane. [???] time, keeps me going and..uh [???].

Jon Anderson:

Jon Anderson:
Woo! Thank you so much. Thank you. As with last night..uh tonight [???] tricky part and ask you all, first of all to stand up. Everybody standing up. C'mon, stretch your legs. It's very easy. We're going to do..uh sorta, real sorta African, Ethiopian, Caribbean dance song sort of high life music and the chorus is, the chorus is. I can't remember. The chorus is "The promise will come when the promise is made" so please sing along. The song is called 'Face To Face'.

Jon Anderson:
Here's a song that's called 'Hearts'.

Jon Anderson:

Jon Anderson:
Thank you so much. Thank you. As most of you know its probably a historic night for us. Thirty years later we come to the Albert Hall and..uh we thank you all for staying with this band for such a long time. [???]. We really appreciated it. Here's a song that I think you all know. Here we go.
