Live at the Rainbow Theatre, London, UK. 15 & 16 Dec 1972 (’Close to the Edge’ Tour) And You And I [I Cord Of Life] A man conceived a moment’s answer to the dream Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes As a foundation left to create the spiral aim A movement regained and regarded both the same All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed Between the picture of time behind the face of need Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid Emotion revealed as the ocean maid All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you Coins and crosses Never know their fruitless worth Cords are broken Locked inside the mother Earth They won’t hide and hold, they won’t tell you Watching the world, watching all of the world Watching us go by And you and I climb over the sea to the valley And you and I reached out for reasons to call [II Eclipse] Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid Emotions revealed as the ocean maid As a movement regained and regarded both the same All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you [III The Preacher, The Teacher] Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme There’ll be no mutant enemy we shall certify Political ends as sad remains will die Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you I listened hard but could not see Life tempo change out and inside me The preacher trained in all to lose his name The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same In the end we’ll agree, we’ll accept, we’ll immortalize That the truth of man maturing in his eyes All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid As a moment regained and regarded both the same Emotion revealed as the ocean maid A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you [IV Apocalypse] And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning And you and I reach over the sun for the river And you and I climb, clearer towards the movement And you and I called over valleys of endless seas ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Anderson - lead vocals Chris Squire - bass guitar, backup vocals Steve Howe - electric and acoustic guitars, backup vocals Rick Wakeman - keyboards, synthesiser, organ Alan White - drums Director: Peter Neal Produced by Brian Lane & David Speechley Edited by Philip Howe YES - The Studio Albums 1969-1987 Remastered & Expanded CD BOX SET YES - ’Close To The Edge’ Remixed and Remastered in 5.1 Surround & Stereo BluRay or DVD-A YES - YesSongs (this concert) BluRay or DVD
