DRAMA was Yes without Jon Anderson

[shammadamma]

Jon Anderson isn't in the band anymore, and all the bellyaching in the world isn't going to change that. You can either accept it and move on, or you can sit around and whine about it.

I think Benoit does a decent job stepping in for Jon. Everyone who says this is some kind of fake, karaoke version of Yes is giving Steve, Chris, and Alan a big fat slap in the face. You act like they were Jon's hired hands for the past 30-plus years. They're as much a part of the Yes legacy as Jon was.

What's Bea Arthur doing on drums????

[stevedrums]

Benoit just gives the creeps. What's with the Pat Boone outfit? Harmonies are in and out. Nope. This isn't Yes. So sad because they were decades ahead of thier time.

[ellaswing]

Benoit I think is good, Chris might be the one who's having a hard time with the vocals. Hey kudos for playing the song.

YES I love you forever!!!.......Ryuji from Tokyo

Benoit is doing a great job. I'm afraid Chris' voice is rather unpredictable these days. It must be very frustrating for someone who could just soar with such ease. Cut these guys some slack. Getting old is a bitch.

[germanicopazuzu]

Sorry, but Benoit sucks..........

[cathridge]

I had to turn this off. This is my fave Yes song and they're butchering it. The lead vocals and harmonies are sour and out of sync. Howe sounds like he's trying to channel Allan Holdsworth with those slurs. The organ sounds like a thin, reedy Farfisa instead of a cathedral. This song is supposed to sound gargantuan but they sound like a bad tribute garage band. Either get it together or let it go, guys.

God knows, I love YES and Steve Howe, yet Steve spoke of how YES were moving "forward" , the past is old, etc. Hmmm, I guess that's why you hired a guy who sounds like Jon. I saw the opening night of this tour in Hamilton Ontario and it was more like a "Jon Anderson Revue". Not easy shoes to fill, I know.

[mboyer22]

Vocals are horrible on this. Am I the only one hearing this??? I am all for new members. Trevor Horn was unique and an artist on his own. Benoit is a very poor stand-in. so sad.

[casperguylkn]

@grahamclews I listened to a Drama tour version of this and thought the same thing. Chris just cant hit some of the notes square. It's been dropped in the middle of other tours, whether Jon has been there or not.
