• Simon Evans from East SussexI agree with Tomuscle that certain prog classics will be played 300 years from now as Bach masses are now. Awaken in particular has more in common with Bach for me than most rock music. I would like to know what is "remembrance of God", though? Is it a prog track or a sacred piece?
• Tomuscle from NySuppers Ready Firth of Fifth, Awaken, Court of the Crimson King and "Remembrance of God " will be played 300 years from now.
• Ray from Hereford, HerefordshireAn epic, ranks alongside "Supper's Ready" by Genesis as one of the all-time great long tracks by 1970s super groups.
• Detlev Hauth from BaliBest song ever!
• Jake from OregonIn the summer of ‘77 there were two mega concerts coming to Madison Square Garden which we could not wait for; one was Zeppelin the other was Yes. Our gang of 14 year olds from suburban New Jersey were kinda out of control sometimes. We got very drunk one day and smashed a sliding glass door in a dumb accident. (Thank God no
  one injured!)
  My father did not usually discipline very much but this time I got sort of grounded. I could only go to one of the concerts, not both.
  We worshipped Zeppelin, but to my friends big surprise I choose to go to the Yes concert - “Going for the One Tour”. Heard all that great album and Steve Howe playing his Yours is No Disgrace solo note for note with the Yessongs album. Unbelievable show.
  It’s true that Zep ended tour shortly after New York due to tragic loss of Robert Plant’s son and never again returned to tour in the US. But I never regretted my choice. Going for the One a zenith album - one of the best of the 70’s.
• Harry from Northern ArkansasThis song is, in my opinion, the capstone of the band's years together. Not taking anything away from Moraz, but Wakeman was transcendent on this song, as were all the members. I prefer Bill Bruford to Alan White, as well, but both were wonderful drummers for the band. I saw them perform this in the round and at the final notes of Steve Howe's guitar at the end of the song, there was silence in the audience. No one made a sound, every person wanting to hear those last beautiful notes. And only then, did they all stand and applaud. I swear I saw people crying in the audience and I'm sure I was one of them, as I still can shed a tear even now over this song. The audience that night was made up of people as young as early grade school all the way to people who were easily in their 70's. It was a concert I shall never forget, and Yes will always be one of my favorite bands of all time, if not my #1.
  And now, I am 64 and every time I hear this song, it makes me shake my head in awe, and I love most everything they have done.
  I have been a Yes fan since the early 70's but I agree with the other comments, THIS was the one they were going for.
• Rabbi Jonathan D Klein from Los AngelesThis song is my awakening to the majesty of Yes. Agree with John from Bristol, this IS the one they were going for.
• Terrieann from Salt Lake UtahOrigin as l band came back together in late 1970's oakland california concert my 1st Yes experience - round stage circling all night we had view of all. We all were one with the music the entire concert we were communion with brilliant heavenly music captivated by spirit as one. Most spiritual concert ever attended bedides Santana long time ago 1970's were great many were fine tuning maturity with growth in spiritual brought into physical. Were blessed with our eras music during this time.
• John from BristolThis is their best song. The one they were going for.
• Rich from Bellevue, WaThis song contains my very favorite guitar solo ever. Just brilliant.
