Hackett's solo in the live version of "The Knife" has for some reason always been my favourite guitar solo.

Starship Trooper played by Rabin? Intersting...but surely not as good as the original!?

Alright, I'll admit that the outcome was rather predictable. I fall into the
same category of 'The Knife is absolutely stellar, but...' the Starship
Troopers' solo is in a league almost to its own.
I guess I wanted to raise awareness to the great solo in the Knife, but I'm
preaching to the choir.

ditto.. and the live version does smoke the studio version of The
Knife. Great song but song but Starship Troopers... ohh that a
tough one to go against, studio and as many have said.. the many live
versions out there.

Hackett didn't play on the studio version, that was Ant Phillips.  He was pretty good, I think, but Hackett's solo in the live version is SOOOOO much better!
Starship Trooper still takes the cake for me, though.

I like Knife as a whole song much more than Starship trooper, however must admit that particularly solo in the latest is a bit better.

The Knife is great, but Starship Trooper has one of the best guitar solos ever!
I also like the live version on Keys To Ascension where Howe and Wakeman share the solos. Also on Yessongs, but Keys is much better.
