4.0 out of 5 stars
Great, except for those 40 notes at the end,

This review is from: The Fish (MP3 Download)
This is a live version so the intro has the usual hooting. whistling, and cheers. I assume the first repetitive chromatic notes are being play by Steve Howe. Chris Squire's performance in this song is fantastic and a great example of what he can make a bass guitar do. There is minimal drumming and I do miss Bill Bruford whose work is more organic and less mechanical but the percussion is in the background and not too intrusive. At 3 minutes Squire really gets cooking and he really loves twanging that Rickenbacher. At four minutes he begins a new medley of bass centric tunes from one other albums, this is punctuated by some semi-drum solo licks nicely down. One of the tunes is the bass solo from Tormato (I forget the name) but it is really nice done (with some nice double bass foot work in one case). The song continues to a nice crescendo finishing up with some rapid finger work by Squire. Unfortunately it ends with his incessant, repetitive note-distorting thumping at 8 minutes. I could really do without those nerve-rattling 40 notes. Highly irritating. However it ends reprising The Fish with most of the band joining in the last minute.
