The band is unprepared for such acclaim, given they only have 45 minutes of material for a live show. They refuse to play anything from their former bands. A successful world tour follows. In order to round out a full two hour show, individual solos and demo versions of songs for their next album are added into the mix. Two official videos - 'Heat of the Moment' and 'Only Time Will Tell' are also released.
Some small cracks begin to appear in the band's personal chemistry.
They turn to Morin Heights, just outside of Montreal, Quebec. It is very cold, and isolated from the outside world. Production begins once again with Mike Stone. Steve Howe, with five writing credits on the debut record, is completely shut out. Tensions begin to mount between Howe and Wetton.
