This is the version to get. I was listening to this CD with a friend who got all upset and yelled, "Hey wait! My CD doesn't have Starship Troopers!" Indeed, we checked and there are two separate versions of the recording available on CD. Make sure that the one you purchase has "Starship Troopers". It is easily the high point of the album. The negatives: -Chris Squire is sorely missed. His creative bass playing as well as his vocals would have made this fine concert even better. He is one of the few electric bass players that doesn't merely fade into the background. His distinctive voice would have enriched the harmonies. -Bill Bruford has spent way too much of his career trying to remind everyone that he is a percussionist and not a drummer. Fine, we understand. Now please throw away your electronic drum set! Some of the more powerful moments in the recording are given a coat of cheese when he bangs on these things! -Teakbois(This studio version of this song was painful enough!) -Owner of a Lonely Heart(I can only guess that Howe decided that he'd trash this Rabin tune.) The positives: -Incredibly clear recording job. -Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe are clearly at the top of their game. -Most of the songs are energized by lively performance making them accessible to anyone who enjoys great music. -This is a very long recording and provides hours of good listening. Don't let my criticisms stop you from purchasing this great set of CDs. There is so much good happening on this album that it makes the bad stuff a little more conspicuous.
