This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I put it together from the following two creative commons sources:thanvannispen and archive.orgShow notesA couple of things I forgot to mention in the episode:It's interesting to note that ABWH tracks are included here, despite not being 'officially' Yes music.This is, perhaps, partly due to the fact that Steve Howe is credited with 'Additional Archival Research & Mixing' in the sleeve notes. Certainly, Howe appears on each one of the previously unreleased tracks.Update:The remarkable and generous Paul Wilson has sent the following links in which will fill in some gaps to say the least!Jon Anderson with a solo version of the track "Richard" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj6AMsEfblQTango  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUcy3YafWiMNever Done Before - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zprgpmg662A&feature=relmfuFist of Fire - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOFCDbPlVWQLast Train - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VcuDZsWNZMThanks Paul!
