Oh, they did By-Tor. Magnifluently.

Well, at least as far as the end of The Battle, which is where they tend to, well, go into "Xanadu". And they cut out the second, um, *iteration* of the basic "Xanadu" form, too, jumping straight to the coda from the first "milk of Paradise". (At least you get all the musical material to speak of, though in the service of going into the *next* tune, they cut out the little figure that sounds suspiciously like Steve Howe's melody near the opening of "The Revealing Science of God". Yeah, just *tell* me that in 1977 they weren't trying to reach out to disaffected Yes fans.) I've still never heard the entire song live, and I'm pretty much despairing of their ever doing it in full again. Serves me right for not seeing them on the *Moving Pictures* tour, I guess.
