[Actual song lyrics by YES snipped]This is what I think of when I hear "Starship Trooper"
I never much liked the version on the Yes album, I think the one from Yessongs is much superior. The first one completely ignores the concept of personal responsibility... Just kidding :-)
I had always thought the song was ok, but then I heard it in concert during the 9012-Live tour at an outdoor amphitheater her in KC that used to be called Sandstone (the name changed last year to the name of some corporate sponsor that I can't remember, but everyone pretty much ignores that name and still calls it Sandstone).
It had been overcast for three days before the concert. A few songs before Starship Trooper, it had started to sprinkle, and then to rain pretty hard. And then *during* Starship Trooper, the rain trailed off to nothing within the first minute or so, and as the song went on, the wind picked up, the clouds suddenly parted, and we had a clear view of the stars in at least half of the sky by the time it ended.
That song has had a special place in my heart ever since.
