Note: If you prefer a song from the Yessongs video, indicate so. That really only would be "The Clap"...

Thanks. I wasn't sure, because of iTunes, which is unsurprisingly wrong again.

Perpetual Change. Bill Bruford on drums and a great, emotional guitar solo by Howe.

I don't vote because I don't find a representive vote for me. It's a live album...
Surely I would say that it's not so easy to play Close to the edge like in studio.. Cool

Even Jon Anderson got it wrong on The Yes Album.

And You And I. I like live music that sounds different from studio versions, and this song is a perfect example of this. Steve sounds great on electric guitar, and Chris adds some new things that fit the song perfectly!

Heart Of The Sunrise is the best version that I've heard; the opening is so powerful!Thumbs%20Up

"And You and I" and "Close To The Edge" are (unfortunately) much better in studio form

I'd say "Siberian Khatru", but that would be picking something just to pick something.

I had this album second hand and nearly worn out on vinyl between that situation and the fact that I have read it sounds not the best I`ll have to look out for a remastered version on CD of it  to give it a fair chance.

I like Starship Trooper for the Howe/Wakeman exchange during Wurm.

I went with Heart of the Sunrise. The opening in this version is the best intro of any song I've ever heard, hands down, and I frequently refer to this song as being my all-time favorite song. And I just love those first three minutes. The last chorus is extremely powerful as well.
 
Honorable mentions would be YiND, LDR/TF, SK... hell, they're all incredible!

Very tough choice.  I went with YiND which features the band's complexity, melodies, virtuosity and harder edge at its finest.  I was really leaning to SK as well.  The guitar piece in the last 2-3 minutes is fabulous and a big step up from the studio version.  What a great opening number.  PC and ST and of course, CTTE are also great.
Casting doubt on all I have to say...

Exactly, Live albums are best when improved, or if there is more noodly room for the bass.
 
Unlike The roundhouse tapes or warszawa.Dead
