All The World is hugely underrated... one of the proggiest Walsh compositions.

No, I'm pretty sure he means "All the World" from Masque. I'm not sure I'd agree it's very proggy - it's more like a ballad with some flower-power sensibilities. But the harmonizing vocals and instrumentation (especially Walsh's own piano and Steinhardt's violin) really make this one stand out. It is a great though pretty much forgotten song.
I do wonder why this one, as well as "No One Together" from Audio-Visions, aren't played by the band in their live shows. These two are made for feel-good moments under the stars at an open-air concert.

erm, that's what I though it was - it seems the Masque track listing is incorrect on PA.

Well, All the World is an interesting song, because its like half-hippy ballad, and then there's the awesome proggie instrumental in the middle. I think that its possible that Walsh made it sound over-the-top sappy, so much so that its not. But yes, this would probably be one of the better Walsh composition though Paradox and Lonely Street are definitely the best IMO. Angels Have Fallen is interesting in parts as well.

They are probably not played for the same reason Yes didn’t play “South Side of the Sky” until it was requested by basically all Yes fans, they are too difficult to play. I’m sure that the band would much rather play something they are comfortable with.

Yeah, the shifting times of All The World's instrumental section are pretty complex, in a fun-to-follow way. :3

Impossible. Most King Crimson albums are equally amazing for different reasons, seriously.

I think because of the vocals. I don't think they could even come close in some parts of either of those songs.

Didn't you write those tracks during your stint with the band, Brian?

If you get Steve Hackett's Live In Tokyo DVD, you

Correct on all counts. Good advice for the Newbie...
Hackett's 'Tokyo Tapes' is the audio CD version of the Live DVD you
refer to (there are two or three 'Enhanced CD' videos on the 'Tapes' CD
as well).

Kansas
also “Lamplight Symphony” from the same album. “Magnum Opus” is the masterpiece of the band in my opinion; it sounds so epic on vinyl.
