DRAMA is among the best work of Yes ever. Finally it comes to live again. I love Jon, but he should have done this, too. And the keyboards were made for Rick as well. I guess both would like this song, but never be telling so.
Simplemente el PEOR tema de la discografia de YES. Better than Big generator.EVIDENTEMENTE YO NO SE NADA DE MUSICA. Drama fue,es y sera UN ESPANTOSO ALBUM.
Must have been wierd for Steve to play this (written when Geoff Downes was with Yes), then play AOR rock with Geoff with Asia at the same venue another day.
This song kicks Heat of the Moment into a small puddle.
Just the chance to see this performed live is a treat and should be luded by Yes fans. The Drama album is brilliant and miles better than 90125 or Big Generator. Since Jon is gone, why not play long forgotten gems like this? These guys need to make a living like everyone else, so stop bitching and just enjoy the fact that they are still touring at all.
Hot damn! Is this an audience recording? (Great sound... good mix too.) Didn't expect to hear Yes doing this song, this well, this late in their career. (Hope whoever filmed it has the whole song.) -- '...where the glass shows that summer has gone' ...'can you light a fire in winter's face' ...anyone? (IE, tempo's a _bit_ slow.) Otherwise, _really_ good.
Maybe this rendition should record an album somewhere up above Vancouver and call it Yes North. Give it a shot. (And I a lover of Jon.)
I found that I had this on my vids from their November 25, 2008, concert in Cleveland, but it is 10:52 long so I never uploaded it because I didn't know what to crop to get it under 10 minutes!
:) good video, my girlfriend was there, you happen to have any of the video from the bass solo? she said it was amazing. And just for a fun story apparently some guy got like kicked off the stage who had been trying to get up there all night
Howe at 4.45. Que te paso Steve?

I love Chris' black Rickenbacher bass. You should see it on his web site. it's a custom Rick. The perfect song for this bass sound. Yes is so unique!

Saw this line up in Edinburgh late last year, and this track was a surprise stand out in the set. Also, I cannot praise Beniot David highly enough.

@kettlezone I was there! Awesome gig. I loved the encore of Starship Trooper.

Kinda surprised to see Steve playing his big Gibson ES-175 on this tune. I thought he played something more hard-rockish, like a Strat.
