    The Yessongs version of Starship Trooper is my favorite version of any song Yes has ever released.

    I'll have to say YesSongs version.

    However . . .

    I don't really remember the 9012Live version very well, and I believe it's out of print, unavailable.

    Yessongs for me too, though I think that may have something to do with it being the first live version I heard.

The Wilderness Years ...; 16/6/04 (Wembley); 17/11/09 (Hammersmith); 17/11/11 (Hammersmith); 26/3/13, 27/3/13 and 29/3/13 (Cruise to the Edge)

    I love that version too. It has certain dream-like quality. Yessongs version has astonishing energy, but the sound quality lets me down.

    Probably Red Octopus (1975) but I've always had a soft spot for Blows Against the Empire (1970) although I suppose that is not officially Starship as we came to know it. ;>o

    Absolutely Yessongs.
