Thanks for this. I was listening to this song in the car last night, and made it about 2/3 through before I lost it.
Re-posting a portion of my post from Rick's thread on Ginger Lynn and Chris Squire meetings from a few years back:

I was in the back row of the floor seats at a Yes show years ago, and some exec just randomly handed me a front row ticket. My buddy just looked at me and said GO!! I'll find you after the show...off I went. I sat next to Janie, Jon Anderson's wife and directly in front of Chris Squire. Got to spend 2 hours standing 10 ft. away from him watching him just rock the house. Of all the Yes family members, Chris has always been the 'rock star'.

That memory has always stood out in my mind. I'll never know why that night went down like it did. This executive-looking-guy just came up and tapped me on the shoulder, and asked if I wanted to hold his ticket while he went to the bathroom. My mind was still reeling as I made my way to the seat, still not really believing what was happening. The exec guy never came back, although I watched for him at the entrance every 30 seconds. I got to spend around 2/3 of the show there, just 10 feet away from Squire, as he thundered around on stage. Janie Luttenberger-Anderson, who I understand goes to every single one of Jon's shows, just quietly smiled the entire time.
I've got the entire Yes catalog on my iPhone, including the solo projects. I haven't gotten the nerve up to listen to Fish out of Water yet. I will before the end of the day.
