Say what you will about relative merits of the replacements. . this is a song that YES should have included in their live performances years ago. If Howe can suck it up and play 'Loner,' Jon should have acquiesced on this one.

The DRAMA album its one of the best albums from YES, Benoit great great job..!!

[Algorhythmiq]

I really liked the Drama material as well. Always imagined what that music might have sounded like with Jon's vocal range and lyrical input after the fact. Even going back and altering vocal arrangements if necessary. That would have been very interesting for me (and I'm guessing a few others). That's essentially what happened with 90125 to a degree. Coming in so late in the project and adding vocals and changing some lyrics here and there.

I only say, thanks God, some live material from the wonderful Drama album after so long ... better than the Drama days (Trevor Horn's singing troubles). No matter how far this line-up is from the original one .. they did the right thing.

This Benoit guy, he is an impersonator. The voice you hear is not his natural singing voice! How the rest of the band could lower themselves to..... Oh shit - the Buggles are coming back to haunt me - lol

Oliver has said he liked Relayer, despite his dad hating it. I dont think its up to Oliver though. Jon was the one that avoided Drama songs, despite Chris, Steve and Alan wanting to play them. I think Chris always felt that if Trevor wasnt singing them, and Geoff wasnt keying them they would save them for another time and place. I think they agreed the time was now to break them out. Benoit handles these vocals rather well I think. Then again its the contrast of Trevor to Jon.

mattyclegg1970...

Benoit is a karaoke-singing-croissant who behaves, looks and sounds like a ridiculous faerie!

On the other hand, Chris Squire, a once great musician, has descended to the depths of mediocrity to become nothing more than a hideous parody of his former self.

Of course, given that deplorable state of affairs, it is perfectly logical that only a pathetic-turd-brain-moron (LIKE YOU!) would appreciate what they do "as well as they do it"!

[mattyclegg1970]

Wow, when you can do what Benoit & Chris do as well as they do it plz come show us all...until that day STFU ha ha! Sort yourself out!

[Father0fTears]

I didn't get to see this tour. Now since they did this "Drama" song with Benoit singing like Jon did the band also do any "Relayer" songs? I hear that Rick Wakeman usually avoided those songs (correct me if I'm wrong). Would his son Oliver have the band do "Relayer" songs on the tour?

[joelfallout]

Benoit sound a bit like trevor horn, but he doesnt have the same harmony as jon. otherwise really good though.

What a scene...whilst Benoit David dresses, prances-about and sings like a gay mosquito, Chris Squire hovers over him like a whale out of water!
