Keys To Ascension 2 (1997)

Behold! one of Yes' best live albums!

Name of musician	Instruments played and other info
Jon Anderson	vocals, lyricist, guitars and harp
Steve Howe	6-and 12-string electric and acoustic guitars, steel and pedal steel, 5-string bass and vocals
Chris Squire	bass Guitar, Vocals
Rick Wakeman	keyboards
Alan White	drums, vocals

Is Keys To Ascension 2 Yes' best live album? The live tracks are awesome, especially "I've Seen All Good People" from The Yes Album and "Close To The Edge" and "And You And I" from Close To The Edge! The other great songs are: "Time And A Word" from Time And A Word and "Turn Of The Century" from Going For The One! Additionally, the new tracks are also superior to any songs that Yes has come up with for the past 20 years! "Mind Drive" is an exceptional suite, very reminiscent of the glorious work from Tales From Topographic Oceans. "Footprints," "Bring Me To The Power," "Children Of Light" and "Sign Language" are also awesome! Lyrics from Keys2.

Disc 1

Track No.	Song Title	Track Timing	Comments

1.	I'VE SEEN ALL GOOD PEOPLE, including: (a.Your Mover b.All Good People)	7:16	A Yes hit single which sounds fresher here, than the original version did!
2.	GOING FOR THE ONE	4:58	Not one of my favorite Yes songs, but still interesting nevertheless!
3.	TIME AND A WORD	6:23	With a brilliant introductory guitar solo, this song really comes into its own
4.	CLOSE TO THE EDGE, including: (a.The Solid Time Of Change b.Total Mass Retain c.I Get Up, I Get Down d.Seasons Of Man)	19:40	One of Yes' epic works, this version is far more polished than the version on Yessongs.
5.	TURN OF THE CENTURY	7:55	One of Yes' most beautiful songs, this Anderson/Howe/White composition is another favorite Yes song! It sounds even more beautiful here than the original version!
6.	AND YOU AND I, including: (a.Cord Of Life b.Eclipse c.The Preacher The Teacher d. Apocalypse)	10:48	Another superb epic work from Yes, representing Close To The Edge once again!

Disc 2

Track No.	Song Title	Track Timing	Comments

1.	MIND DRIVE	18:37	And they thought the epic works were gone, this is probably Yes' best composition since Awaken. An absolutely superb and energizing composition by the definitive Yes line-up!
2.	FOOT PRINTS	9:09	Another superb composition! I really feel energized when I listen to this song!
3.	BRING ME TO THE POWER	7:25	DITTO!
