Yes Rock Family Trees Drama Tour (1998)

This is a small part of the BBC Rock Family Trees series featuring Yes which focuses on the Drama album and tour recorded in 1998. Narrated by the late John Peel.

Interviews with
Trevor Horn
Geoff Downes
Chris Squire
Steve Howe

Quite an interesting curio.The story of The Buggles joining Yes. Eagle eyed fans at 40 seconds can catch a glimpse of the Drama rehearsal at Lilitz 1980. Trevor mentions "They made me sing high like Jon Anderson"

Chris tells Trevor when rock bands play loud,the singer has to sing high otherwise no one will hear him!

Steve thinking everything is ok till they got to England.

Geoff talks about going from session musicians to pop stars to rock stars.

Fascinating stuff for Drama fans.

The best Yes album...

[seraphima91]

I wish that this line-up had made at least another album!

[uninoculated]

I'm sort of forever upset with Jon Anderson for never agreeing to sing anything from Drama at a Yes concert. I think that was very selfish. Drama has some FN kickass music on it. I still love Jon and I really really wish his hadn't been so insecure about the Drama album.

@bradominus1 You know it!!! Can't go without it. It never leaves my car...

Drama was not recorded in 1998, it was 1980.

[JimSVoit]

I want to see that backstage or in the studio footage from that era! Looks awesome.

[NiravShah1982]

I agree. Drama was the most "progressive" of all of Yes' albums, in my opinion.

[vivelavidarocka]

Not the best. One of their heaviest. I like it a lot.

[bradominus1]

Sorry to burst your bubble... Let me guess, it's 'Relayer'? right... LOL
