Yes

I remember when Keys To Ascension 2 came out and at the time on AMY, the old BBS on the early internet had been hyping up Mind Drive to what I thought was an unsustainable level, like the new CTTE, when the album came out I figured I'd be let down, instead the song renewed my faith in the band in every possible way, it was a stunning piece, from the perfect Steve Howe opening on acoustic guitar, to then hearing Chris do the same piece on bass! Then later in the song to hear Rick killing it and have Steve completely burst into flames, I only found out later that Steve's guitar section was improvised, something Yes did not do on albums, in concert they played an abbreviated version, it was still cool, but I would have loved to hear a perfect version ol the album live.Sweet Dreams and South Side of the Sky were amazing, and Turn of the Century, also Foot Prints and hearing Show Me with Yes, not just Jon solo like I did the last time. One strong seltilst, so much!
