I always kind of liked how long the beginning of the "Wurm" section ran for. I always pictured it as a ship slowly being sucked into a black hole. I've mentioned here before too, that I actually do prefer the original studio version of this track to any live version. Never cared for the way Wakeman's solo came first. I know it lends itself well to a live epic where they can stretch out and trade solos, etc. but to me there's a magic on the album track that was never duplicated. Also, Steve Howe really changed the way he played it over the years, which I often didn't care for.
