Later I was working at a m/c club racing track near LA and my rider, David DeLeon, was a professional bassist. Played on "The Blues Brothers" movie soundtrack amd also was the only guy to get credit playing on a Stanley Clarke album. Walter Becker used his base to record "Aja" too.

This was the first Yes song I ever heard. I actually saw the video on MTV and was blown away. The other day I was thinking about how much prog rock I grew up with. I really had no idea it was such a huge part of my musical lexicon.

This is probably the one song to have won me over to becoming a Yes fan. The tempo, bass playing, guitar, and the fact it was an overall impressive piece of art.... What a way to open the era of the 80's, with the masters of precision and creativity opening the door!

It's impossible for me to watch this video, listen to this song, watch Chris Squier, and not cry like he was a close friend that I lost. TR Ball

people fuss over the different phases of the band...but I dig stuff from every incarnation...this is a well written concise prog pop song... oh Yes it is...

I liked Drama pretty well when it was released but even more now. Newer prog is very advanced as far as technical playing but the melodic stuff in old prog is still unmatched imhop. The many Yes records and tours I've bought/seen doesn't really compensate for the value of a lifetime worth of music enjoyment I've experienced with this band, and I still get into a deep meditative state that takes five minutes to come out of when I get the head phones out and listen to something like The Remembering. Greatest of thanks to the members of Yes!.

Newer prog is technically amazing, but lacks soul and melody compared to the classic bands. Computerized garbagio lol.

What a great song! It's no wonder 90125 turned out so well with Horn producing, taking the foundational blend of White/Squire/Kaye to yet another level. Squire's performance in particular displays his absolute mastery of his craft.

Probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Yes song of all time. The most underrated version of Yes IMO.
