DRAMA....What a great freaking album. Wish Jon would have realized how amazing this album was and sang these songs live.
Squire, the best bass player ever!
Lord, Drama is the most underrated/appreciated YES album of all. It led me to the door through which I passed into YES without ever looking back. It cannot be a bad album that led to a great musical awakening and appreciation for most (not all. I am not a sycophant!) of YES' previous gifts to all. I wish others could be less destructive in their appraisal of the gift of DRAMA; a more spirited album never has been!
When I was a teenager in the 80s, getting into Yes, people would tell me "Stay away from the album DRAMA" but glad I didn't listen. It's in my top three of fave Yes albums (the other two being FRAGILE and CLOSE TO THE EDGE). This album is SO good!!!
that bass!!!!!
The Trevor Horn hate here is ridiculous… going from nothing to having to play complicated sets to sold out audiences over a whole tour is obviously going to strain your voice. Yes songs arent exactly a walk in the park vocally. Still one of their best efforts. Immensely good songs and production on this LP
Fans then dumped on Horn right away and already had determined album and tour was going to be a waste. Well you were all wrong. Horn did have enough with the tour and singing high pitch YES songs would mess anyone's vocals except Anderson.
An unreasonable ask for Horn to cover Jon Anderson: few have that upper register. But the album I am very fond of. Better than 90210 IMHO
A fantastic album...and tour!
The weave of Buggles with Chris and Steve and Alan worked well I believe, I understand that many other people disagree with that.
i cant believe theres no video footage of this tour
Was thinking the same thing!!!
😥
Agreed. I can't understand why even the record company or management would not have documentation of the tour.
Or decent audio.
@@thunderdeed1 I agree with what everyone's saying, but it's a very simple answer: At that time, no one realized that history was taking place.
But Drama is a great record.
Agreed. Anyone knows this song but played by Rabin?
I love the Drama era. Yes is always revolving and re inventing themselves. Just incredible music for all to hear.
This is the best Yes album. I don’t care what anyone says.
This is such a killer tune. I wish that Yes would play this song in their more recent tours whether it's Anderson or Davison singing. Instrumentally it is one of my favorite Yes songs. Play it on the 2013 tour, we know that Geoff Downes knows the keyboard part!
Wow a fantastic performance. Loving everyone's playing here. I think Drama really gave Howe a shot in the arm and from this recording we can clearly see Squire doing a co-lead vocal. And.. thankfully White is playing on the beat, giving the music the urgency it needs.
I think Drama was Chris chance to show his background singing skills. If you listen to Tormato and then Drama. There’s a big difference. This was my favorite period for Chris as a bass player.
Now this is what I call a strong start for a gig!! Fucking hell, I would have had an orgasm hearing that bass sound!
kpingvin Amazing isn't it? I never saw them do this live. I hear they are going to do the drama album in it's entirety in 2016.
kpingvin after hearing ARW was touring I preferred this over seeing remnants of Yes. From 1974 TFTO- my first Yes concert- up to fly from here in 2011, I saw every Yes tour but this one. And I regretted missing it because this album is amazing, and Trevor Horn was not well received because it wasn't Jon Anderson.But he wasn't trying to be, and instead he and Geoff Downes gave Yes a different sound- at the right time.
When I saw my last Yes concert in 2011 it was the first time I saw Yes without Jon Anderson. Styx opened the show- they sounded much better than when I saw them in '77 and they blew Yes off the stage.
So except for watching them inducted in the RRHF, no desire to see Yes without Jon Anderson. But this tour was one I truly missed, and Trevor Horn sounds great.
kpingvin I wouldn't bother. I chose to see the real Yes, ARW instead.
Trevor Horn and this show is what I would have preferred to see- this show.
This is the only tour of Yes I ever saw. I have to say it was really great and I came back for a second nite at MSG. Still wish I could have seen Anderson!
This is the only Yes Tour since I first saw TFTO in 1974 that I missed , and like this album. I know fans weren't crazy about Geoff Horne but I actually liked the different sound this album had. He wasn't trying to sound like Jon Anderson, unlike Benoit David or Jon Davidson.
You can't replace Jon Anderson nor Chris squire.
Sorry I meant Trevor Horne
+Larry Fulmer can and did!
+Larry Fulmer Ur totally clueless. U know nothing about Yes. Please go away.
Troy Owens and this was the only Yes tour I missed - and otherwise saw every Yes tour from TFTO 74 to fly from. Here in 2011. I was pissed I didn't go to this. Very underrated album.
But ARW blew me away. No urge to see yes. Jon Davidson tries too hard to sound like jon anderson. Trevor horn didn't try sounding like Jon , just put his own spin on their music and gave the new material a different sound.
I wish there was a DVD in concert and I still had the album. But like everything else, sold them when albums were taken over by CDS.
Drama is such a great album! You would think with the current lineup, they would have selected that album to play on the current tour.
Squire's Last great tone on a Yes album
Does it really happen Bass lines...Nothing like anywhere
This is much better than their recent release Topographic Drama (??), although the sound sucks, of course. They were really great by then and if they found a better recording of that tour, I think this would blow everything away...
You Tube still won’t let me subscribe to this channel. Thank you for the upload
I always wondered if they could pull this song off live- how silly of me!
I guess Yes could play live any song from their repertoire if they wished.
Love It🌟
I love Drama and the music and saw the tour. Wouldn't have minded one more album from this line up. The think I really like about live performances is they are different from the album and they sometimes feel like new music.
There's Fly From Here: Return Trip, if you count that.
I was there with my girlfriend at the time. Hot, sweaty & amazing. They played in the round and the stage was in the middle of the garden floor and they appeared from beneath the stage in a cylinder of some sort of diaphanous material. Just a great late-summer night. I miss those days.
The current line-up of Yes, sort of, and I am not complaining.
I think Jon has had more harsh words for them then they for him. Remember when Jon became ill in 2008 the band went on the road not billed as Yes with Benoit David as a temporary singer. Jon had kept them waiting over 4 years and they really wanted to go out in play again. Jon was the one who fired the first shot criticizing them for going on the road. So not really surprising they decided to make David and O. Wakeman official Yes members.
Drama was the mid-wife between the old Yes and the Modern Yes. Anderson wanted to write folky type songs, aka, he wanted the next Yes album to be 'Song Of Seven'. Wakeman was getting extremely, bizarrely experimental with his keyboards (WTF is a Birotron and why the F did it have to be added to an already exotic array of keyboards and sounds he had). They needed a harder edge as punk fans in Britain were howling at their 'Tormato' music and concept. Squire, White and Howe had the right idea. It's just ashamed that Anderson was too proud to admit he was wrong and ever sing any of these magnificent songs in concert. Therefore they disappeared into obscurity, mainly because the other band members wouldn't change the arrangements to his satisfy his liking for live performance. Occasionally you heard a snippet of Tempus Fugit in the middle of an instrumental passage live, but that was it. So tragic. Rabin should've just sang these songs while Anderson took a piss and shit break, given them the due they deserved while he cried into a towel in the bathroom. Tragic loss.
Yes Drama album was better than the Yes 90125 album by far
love the bass jammin at 8:03
he used a pic. wah, and fuzz for the extra ...UNK
Drama is a great album. Have been disappointed that Jon A would never allow the music be played when he was in the band
I agree. DRAMA was not the YES of the 1970s. Neither is today's. There are a lot more similarities between today's YES and DRAMA's YES than with the 70's YES. My ideal 3 album tout would be: Drama, Fly From Here & the new album from next year. An idea, perhaps?
Chris squire baby
The studio version is one of my favorite Yes songs, but sorry, the TH vocals live miss the power needed to bring this song the way it should. A disappointment.

A yuppet is word coined by Geoff Downes. It means "fans" that endlessly trash the band for not having Jon Anderson or Rick Wakeman in the line-up. Therefore some "fans", as soon as they see this is a Drama line-up video, they immediately hit the dislike button. Frankly they're fucking annoying.
Now, so all of a sudden fans can't have an opinion anymore ? I don't call that Yuppets but Puppets... Sorry Downes, but that's not the way the game is played...
Personally I've always loved drama, most other yes fans don't, notice this page most do, who cares it's awesome and think some of their finest work, way better in everyway to me than TALES, but other than the first song , never liked it anyway...close to the edge....RELAYER....top 2 for me and probably drama in 3 for me....that's it....
Well, while I DO love the Drama album, I guess you can count me as "Yuppet"... (Although I would never dislike a Yes video) The rest of Yes treated Jon Anderson like garbage, when he was seriously ill, and they STILL shun him! Props to Rick Wakeman for not putting up with them! I still hold out hope they will bury the hatchet, apologize to Jon, and ask him to return to the band, but until then I will not pay 1 cent to see them live, nor purchase new music made by them.
Trevor Horn the best!
Best. . what? Best singer to front YES? No (Anderson). Best Yes producer? No (Offord). He's straining and off-key here.
Mariano Luna I'd like Yes a little better if he was the singer for more albums.
I love Steve Howe so don't flame me but I kind of wish this version of the band had Trevor Rabin in it. It actually could have been a pretty good split. Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe in one and Horn, Rabin, Squire, White and Downes (or Kaye) in the other.
IS THERE ANY FOOTAGE OF THIS TOUR?????
I have the WNEW broadcast and have featured selections from it on this channel. I'm not arguing with you that radio/FM recordings are great (the FM recording of Relayer show at Roosevelt Stadium was excellent) but sadly the NYC recording is the only pro recording and even then its not perfect (due to then-manager Brian Lane changing his mind at the last minute to allow a broadcast) and its not the full show. And check out Pink Floyd Oakland 1977 to see how good an audience recording can be.
You must not listen to a lot of bootlegs because there are far worse sounding recordings out there of Yes and any other band for that matter. This is one of the best sounding audience recordings of the Drama tour.
I really like it!
Yes, I find that odd also.

ELO1138 thank you 🙏
Drama grew on me very quickly.
I agree with that now that I am all grown up. Thanks 🙏
Ive the album Drama on white label-and have to say this track stands out to me as totally awesome!
Wellzir it isn't quite Yes but they coulda called it Sorta, Pretty Sure or For The Most Part
just read a post where drama is rated as a LOWER yes release than countless releases AFTER 2000. just 'cause john wasn't in attendence, doesn't relegate it to pathetic also-rans. big generator almost is as good, and has more intense moments- but it is more like GTR and asia in its demeanor. 90125 doesn't come close to EITHER, while making thirty times the money that these rwcords did.
Love this, but I can barely hear Geoff :( Steve sounds a bit dull too, maybe on coke by this time?
Laotzu; judging by your i.d., commentary, and choice of YES albums on which to voice an opinion, I wish we had met many moons before, and not during such a dire phase of our collective existence. I would share a unique gift I have of channeling the ancient via I Ching. Blesses to you and yours.
rick wakeman has health issues as well and his doctor advised him against touring, hence oliver.. jon is close with rick. whatever. health comes first. davidson is doing a great job in the meantime.

Yikes, 5:39 - WTH??
no recordings made this tour? Shame on you YES! Shame on you!
Un fraude
No hay video en vivo
Does it really Happen?

:(
This should have been the last great Yes lineup and gone out at the right time all the ridiculous line up changes and squabbles which plagued them through the next 3 decades and the breakaway bands sadly made them irritating and irrelevant.
Okay, who are the 10 yuppets who gave this video a dislike?
Squire has remained optimistic about playing with Jon but every interview with Jon he changes his tune on whether he wants to play with them. The fact is that Jon can't tour extensively with Yes due to his health. A one-off is possible. But they're quite happy with the line-up they have now and they actually get along. Rick Wakeman had already retired his position from the band when Jon was still in the band so he's just being a grump. He pulled the same crap in 1980 and later apologized for it.
Thankfully Mr. Sherwood pulls this off well, Chris made a good choice.
