DC Washington. Oh we don't care we're we are right? [???]. Constitution Hall eh? The last song is for this place. That was called 'Birthright' and that was really all about this incredible change we are going through and witnessing this modern time of the nineties. Here's a song from another time [???].

Jon Anderson:
Thank you very much. Thank you. It's seems like..uh a long time since we actually played right in the middle of Washington. Right down the corner from the White House. Stuff like that and it's brings..uh for me, it's brings everything into perspective because if you think about it. If there really going to be change in this world. If you, did you see in the last six months and incredible change? This city is were the healing will start. [???] much. Because change we must. Change we will. Woo! We've just been traveling around the world and..uh one of the great things about meeting people in Japan, in the Far East, in Germany, France, Italy. Audience are all the same everywhere you go. We get happy. we get high together. Me make music together and we believe in life. We believe in love and we believe in harmony. Here we are in the nineties, really believing it so much that we're going to make a change. We're going to try to make it work. When we were recording the album 'ABWH'. 'ABWH'. We..uh needed Rick Wakeman. Mr. Wakeup. [???] When..uh, it was really sorta..uh lazy beautiful afternoon in the recording studio and..uh we just got together and wrote this next song and it really is all about being together. A lot of energy coming together and it was for you. We want it. We want to have it. The song is called 'The Meeting'.

We started making the list of songs we loved to play, you see?. The list obviously got longer and longer as we discussed it. This actually is, this is..we've been touring now for about..uh seven or eights months and this is our next to the last show. So you can you imagine. It's great to be with you on our last to the next show. [???]. Woo! [???] tomorrow night in New York. We, we, we won't remember it, we'll just do it. You see? So it's really great to be with you.
