Xanadu - great on the album and Alex breaks out the white doubleneck live. What more could you ask for? It's a double neck. No one plays those anymore.

Closer to the Heart; it's our (mein and 08leader's) song. wub.gif A close second is Madrigal, but I can't hack and vote twice; that's just mean, and beyond my computing capacity anyway...

Okay, so I was only 7 during the tour and didn't attend... but I have a replica shirt from the 77-78 Farewell Tour for one reason: Xanadu.

 

Yes, Closer to the Heart is a crowd and billboard favorite and it's always interesting to see how the boys mix it up during the jam session when they do play it live, but hearing Xan live on R30 was the equivalent of an eternity in the Pleasure Dome.

i love the nice gentle acoustic beginning of "A Farewell to Kings" and then 1022.gif BOOM! rock out! "Xanadu" is good as well but i prefer it live, same with "Closer to the Heart". The song that is my second favorite on this album would be "Madrigal" ah nice and relaxing... schla03.gif

I voted Xanadu. Maybe it's just because my mom's middle name is Olivia, but really every time I reach this song on the cd i turn it up alittle. It has so many complexities in it, that isn't in much rock. Notice the arrow emoticon. Didn't that have something to do with that O Newton John movie of the same name (with no real connection i know)

A Farewell to Kings: I love the keyboard and guitar at the beginning!!

 

Xanadu: apparently a mass-favorite

 

Closer to the Heart: Well who can't at least consider it?

 

Cinderella Man: I just like it: plain and simple.

 

Madrigal: Not one of my favorites... its just ok.

 

Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage: Oh yeah.. awesome song!
