Awaken 2003 in Birmingham

This is the show I was at (you can clearly hear where Chris Squire’s bass goes out of tune in Part 2 of the recording. I remember him fiddling with the tuning pegs and Rick Wakeman glaring at him!)

Theme music

The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from the following two creative commons sources:

thanvannispen and archive.org

Homework for next time:

I particularly enjoyed this segment, I have a hard time listening to Wonderous Stories as well. Awaken will always be my favorite.
