I saw this new version of Yes live at Madison Square Garden(countless years ago). Most everyone at that concert was crushed and felt betrayed, even doomed that the Anderson/Wakeman lineup was no more. We all hated these songs out of commitment to our original stars, but hearing this album all these years later I realize that we were all wrong. This is a brilliant song played with such Supreme execution, as well as the rest of Drama. It's true that every version of Yes is magical and to be treasured and appreciated forever.

This is "must see" for the following reasons: 1. Bassist Chris Squire's glasses 2. Drummer Alan White's fashion. Everyone's fasion, while we're at it. 3. Steve Howe's smooth navigation among the three guitars. Looks as if he's having a blast. 4. It's the obscure incarnation of Yes from 1980, the one that created this album, Drama, that to me stands the test of time. 5. Keyboard Geoff Downes' pants 6. That the singer will look familiar to those who grew up in the early MTV era. That singer....Trevor Horn... Think, "Video Killed the Radio Star". Yep, he and Geoff Downes were principal members of Buggles.

[@taylorbusam8542]

suite, sorry while in live concerts steve howe's transition from guitar 2 guitar is fantastic this video is like lip sync . their not really playing, it's studio version music dubbed onto a video of them pretending to play the music. this really is common practice of all official music videos during the mtv,s generation, but u are very right. a very hard to come by movie called yessongs from the 80,s he does these transitions in concert footage. u can see bits and pieces of full songs on utube from the close to the edge tour and other live footage. peace bro.

SuiteDaddyO O I may be wrong, but I always saw both versions of yes, during these years as the MTV versions. I saw the live tour at Newcastle,Uk, city hall, unfortunately, Trevor, even tho he was fairly local to the area, seemed to be so nervous from the start, and stopped singing, about a third of the way in....at which point, Chris primarily took over lead singer as well. Being yes musically they pulled it off, just, not sure if Trevor continued with the tour much after that, but, that did seem to mark the end of , another chapter, and of course the inevitable start of a new one . . .i'm fortunate to have been seeing them live since 72/3, and, well, I know my favourites, both albums and line ups ( i.e. Live).

I didn't want to like it, but I couldn't help it... the songs are all just so damned good. The musicianship in this track is astounding. So few bands (and probably none at the time) could pull off a song like this. And I think that Trevor Horn's voice is perfect for the songs on this album. He actually has a very pleasing voice, with a very clear, horn-like timbre. And I like his Scottish accent too.

For some reason, Drama has...up until very recently, I've had a "blind spot" for this wonderful album. Truth is now, ....I put it up in the Pantheon of Great Yes Album that exists in my head. This is an AWESOME collection....and I love the team/addition of Horn and Downes.

@@mikearchibald744 Your tastes are your right, of course. However, I'm always a bit skeptical when people make blanket statements like "I didn't like it." What didn't you like about it? Did Squire's bass playing suddenly sour for you on this record? Was Howe off of his (otherwise very considerable) game? Did Downes offend you with his dual Minimoog playing? Or, as I suspect (sorry), did you "not like it" simply because you didn't want to like it? This is what we call "tribalism" and is, actually, almost everything that is wrong with our world today.

KirkSandall : My only criticism of 'Into The Lens' is I think they drag it out slightly too long at the end. It gets a little repetitive.

With that said, Drama does have some fantastic tracks ('Machine Messiah', 'Tempus Fugit', 'Does It Really Happen?', 'Run Through The Light').

The previous tour ( Going For The One) also in the round, I thought was one of their best. Seen Yes several times and they are all some of life's highlights. RIP Chris.

3:39 Section The Fish killing it. And when Steve joins in the progression, killer. White's drumming and sense of space in this section is great!

[@johncassidy3071]

Such an under appreciated period for Yes.

[@tonygourley4896]

Every song on the Yes 'Drama' album is great. I love this album. Bob.G

[@cityfan3134]

My introduction to Yes: Drama was very late at night. Sent to bed, I secretly stayed awake - with my tape recorder running - to capture this wonderful album.

[@Phoenix-tv4gb]

Yes and buggles together! Love it!😍😍😍💖🕊️🎶🎶

[@pascaltorvic6246]

Drama is much much better than what I tought when I bought it in the 80's...Great track that one.

[@lawrencehamm1478]

I think the problem was that there was just too much Drama!!

[@oo88oo]

It's fantastic that they produced so much music - the musician change-ups only added to the whole. I'm STILL finding and re-finding stuff to love. "Union" has some terrific music on it, for example. And one of Chris Squire's best, I think, is On the Silent Wings of Freedom, from the hated Tormato album.

[@genericusername1365]

@@oo88oo I'm one of those who actually likes Tormato a lot. If you just edit it a little bit, then it would have been not so hated. For example, just remove the Circus of Heaven song and replace it with something else. COH is a nice song, but it just belongs on a Jon Anderson solo album instead of a YES album. Then, for Arriving UFO have Wakeman change some of the keyboard lines that sounded like explosions to something else. Get rid of the audience applause in Release, Release and it would would be the great song that it really is.

[@AshleyPomeroy]

@@genericusername1365 Wakeman's keyboards sounded really thin on that album. I remember reading somewhere that it was recorded with Dolby noise reduction turned on, but mastered by someone else who didn't realise, so it sounded really flat and dull.

[@IronmanKMSA]

my favorite song from Drama, a solid overall album. This one is to me, is the best because of so many dynamics and such a cool build up and denouement. This is classic Yes to me.

[@jimdartouzos2127]

Into the lens..into the past...what an awesome song from 1980....simply awesome!!

[@davidbrooksbank7444]

I started following Yes in 1972. I bought the back catalogue but I never got to see them until the Union Tour. Into the Lens is my favourite track even though Rick Wakeman didn't play on it. I have lost count of the times I have seen the great Rick Wakeman over the years. It's my favourite track because I had just being on a holiday to Cornwall when Drama was released. I had taken lots of photographs and one evening I stood on top of Cape Cornwall, the full moon in the sky, the night coming in and the sea breaking bellow. The lyrics seemed to reflect what I had experienced and felt at that time. Cosmic

[@ashleyuy9560]

Still sounds epic and majestic even in 2024! This is one of the most complex and heaviest Yes songs!

[@thomasrudy6132]

i saw ths concert twice philly and lehgh university. what a great album, but i'm kind of glad this lineup was one and done. you just can't replace jon anderson. might have been more open to more of this lineup under another name. hard for me to call a band YES without jon and chris.

[@bauertime]

I saw them do this album in concert and they where perfect, almost too perfect. They sounded exactly like the album. They where in the round and the the drummer was in a cage that went up and down. It was one of the better concerts I have ever seen.

[@RFToob]

Love this album. Yes is a family. And their songs are such wonderful journeys.

[@MrHarry0000010]

My first time hearing this..and I'm 56 years old! I like it... especially live....bravo!

[@johnmartinsen963]

I'm a couple years older, but been listening since the 70's...just finally starting to figure out all the different members and line ups over the decades...I had no idea, even when I saw them live in the 80's 🤔 I'm even more disappointed I missed an opportunity to see them here on Maui in 2012 now that I know more about the members involved.

[@FUBAR1986]

Definitely one of my favorite all-time Progressive rock songs…. As a drummer, I can appreciate the complexities.

[@Carlos-yz6ph]

Trevor Horn fixed in this song with Yes, Steve Howe what a musician so brilliant, first time I listened this was 14 YO in 1982, and seem to me a stunning song, now is confirmed, salutes from Lima.

[@tomkelsey2303]

I love this album!

[@exentr]

One of my childhood's most impressive albums. Just as impressive 40 years later.

[@steveeddy9686]

Drama just works. Trevor Horn was badass as lead singer for that one brief moment. Amazing album.

[@ianwilkinson4602]

DRAMA is the ONLY Yes album I own and love, the rest just history. John didn't flower until he hooked up with Vangelis, IMHO.

[@marekkemp3398]

So much goes on in every bar - I am absolutely overwhelmed by the harmonics and the structure of this piece. Steve Howe at its best. There isn't a better arranged Yes album than Drama (and its without Anderson - almost unthinkable)

[@leonardschoenborn9209]

INCREDIBLE!!! Drama is my favorite Yes album. The songwriting is absolutely phenomenal. The talent in the bass player and lead guitarist are extra-ordinary -- beyond belief. This is music that could never be reproduced by any tribute band -- NOT LIKE THIS!!!

[@CELHANI]

Back in the 1980s I had the Drama and sort of like to hear it, but it sounded out of place after the great 1970s Yes albums. Many years later it is a pleasure to hear Into the Lens. Time gives us perspective.

[@blainemullins6285]

When I bought the Yes video collection in the 90s, I was initially turned off by the two “imposters.” But after a few rewinds, I accepted the fact that The Buggles really fit in nicely. Then I bought Drama. Now I love this incarnation of Yes and consider it a special period of the band. The Buggles really fit right in.

[@cynthiarobertson5523]

RIP all those that have passed before us. ❤ See you sometime. 😊❤

[@Old-Skull.]

THANK YOU YES , FOR THIS MASTERPIECE, TOP YES ALBUM.

[@HoMiNGHeaD]

I used to grab my dad's guitar when i was just a couple of years old, and just hit the same string a couple of times to make it sound like the beginning part. Now it's about 22 Years later and i'm still amazed by the song.

[@Trace7173]

Back in 1980 my friends and I had tickets to their show and we were all looking forward to it. A few weeks out, it was canceled due to poor ticket sales. We were all very disappointed because we had embraced this album and the new lineup. I prefer the classic lineup but this album and later the addition of Trevor Rabin helped Yes thrive during the MTV 80's

[@jimascia]

I feel very fortunate that I was a young teenager when I heard this song and album. I've always enjoyed English progressive rock from early Genesis to UK, Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull and so many more.

[@RufusZerep1961]

Right there with you! I could have gone the Black Sabbath, Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's (which I did to an extent), but Genesis as well as Yes were sincerely mega-influences. I didn't experiment with pot then, but I did enjoy the beer! I believe that the lyrics as well as the surreal guitar by Howe and Hackett, as well as the keyboards by Wakeman and Banks sealed my entrenched affection for classical/progressive rock! Buford, White and Collins were and are still great to listen to! Hope that I didn't offend anyone by my opinion!!!! In concert, you cannot fake excellent musicians! At least I hope that it cannot be done.

[@jimascia]

Great minds think a lot. (lol) Have you listened to any of Steve Hackett's solo stuff? The"Cured" album and the songs "Spectral Mornings" and "Narnia" are awesome (in my mind). Yes, I also feel very fortunate to have been young and lucky enough to ;have experienced it. I also listened to the heavier/industrial music but always came back to the English progressive music which never seems to get old. It stands the test of time.

[@RufusZerep1961]

Hackett had some seriously haunting riffs. Voyage of the Acolyte and Spectral Mornings are still my favorites. Cannot really seem to find any new progressive material out there lately! Have you?

[@jimascia]

I can't find anything new either. I haven't been looking to hard though. I seem to be stuck in the past with my listening habits. Another favorite music of mine is NFL music (from the 60's and 70's) they played on highlight films. Have you ever listened to Sam Spence or Ken Mansfield? Orchestra arranged but really melodic.

[@RufusZerep1961]

No I have not. I believe that I missed that boat! I have been stuck in a rut, or a groove depending on your outlook, with Rush as well as classical music turned to rock: i.e. Tom Parker arr. Bach. Apollo 100, Joy, etc. Guess I am getting old! : )

[@thelovefund]

He was talking about the CELL PHONE, TAKING SELFIES... "I AM A CAMERA!" Only 39 years before their time. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...............
