I'm with you on this one.   'Miles' is a great song.  "Your eyes are

Does anyone know who's hiding the rest of that footage?   I'd love to
have a complete show of that one.

No radio station in the US seems to be able to play songs longer than
7 or 8 minutes.   This greatly decreases my chances of getting to hear
'Awaken' by Yes on the radio.

Yikes!  Blasphemy!   ;-)  It sounds much weaker, IMO.

>more close to the live version I heard last summer at Cornerstone 

The live one is based on the re-orchestrated version.   I guess this
could be one of those chicken-or-egg questions, though.

>guitar by Ric here. Also 'Dead Weight' is a strong tune.

'Dead Weight' is one of the few I consider yawners in the OTR catalog.
'Falling(DoaT)' is another.

Again, I agree completely.   They're one of the select few bands I can
listen to all the time.  King Crimson is another.

I'm planning on making one for myself from ROIOs in my personal
collection.
