I disagree. Actually, I think it was quite close to the speed I expect of vinyl. What is not in this version is the tension (musical) created by Mr. Bruford's style. One might have a similar reaction to Mr. Bruford playing Awaken, Gates of Delirium and so on.

This song was fantastic when recorded, fantastic here, and fantastic when Spock’s Beard covered it. Really, every Yes lineup has something to be appreciated. But then Drama, Relayer, and Fly From Here are all high on my personal ranking of Yes albums, so I know I’m an outlier. ;)

I am glad it was never made into a big hit (too much for most) because it means so much more to me now 45 years later. First heard this as a teenager and did not remember how much this song wavered continuously in my subconscious especially the vocals (la la land).

But what MAKES it for me is the play between Steve and Rick at the end in the lead-out jam. They're telling jokes with music. It's a playful showdown between veteran gunslingers. Saw the band in 1997, 6th row centre, Massey Hall,Toronto, 2 grams of blue cap mushrooms. BWWAA!! Thanks for posting this!
