Yep. The man seemed to have a third hemisphere (or whatever the name should be for a third part of a brain divided in three sections). To sing and play the bass is always difficult, even when playing basic stuff.
@@GrampsD63 yeah "Fragile" as a whole is a masterpiece, and "Heart Of The Sunrise" was probably one of the main reasons i started playing bass along with "Tempus Fugit" and ofcourse "Roundabout". Chris Squire was very creative, the man can blow you away with very complex basslines or have you dancing with very simple ones. What a bassist he was.
@@karimnedal9714 I was 11 when i first heard it and my buddy's brother-in-law had a cherry red Rickenbacker for sale. I tried to sell everthing I owned at the time to buy it because of just that one song. I just didn't have the money. Never got one and became a mechanic instead. 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. We used to crank "Fragile" on the way to the track all the time. Guess I wasn't meant to be a musician.
Losing Jon and Rick gave Steve, Chris, and Alan a chance to shine and they produced probably the most rocking Yes album ever. I know many people hate this album. I love it.
Of course I don't consider this band to be Yes any more than I consider Asia to be Yes, but this is about as much a Yes song as anything produced by any band going by that name. Certainly more "Yes-like" than anything in 90125.
A terribly underapreciated song from a vastly underrated album. Although this is just the video, watching them play along gives me an amazing appreciation for the complexity of the song. Chris Squire is his awesome self as usual. RIP Sir.
Agreed, was just about to comment the same thing. This one of Chris's best bass riffs in my opinion, Downes demonstrates as much strength as any Yes member, and Trevor, while a little uncomfortable in the frontman role, you wouldn't know it while watching him here. :)
So nice to see Chris smiling and enjoying playing. I had the pleasure spending a half hour with him after a show once and we talked all about a lot more than music. Very nice man. RIP Chris
I've recently watched a few old videos of Yes playing live. Chris Squire often looks like he is having the time of his life. No wonder he stayed with Yes for so long. He looked like he just loved playing music with the band.
@@Robert_St-Preux And in terms of handling the gig, he handled the band right into the 80s, basically saving them. Don't be so critical of Trevor Horn...
I played it for my cousin a proficient bassist and he happily called me two days later and could only slowly play what Chris is effortlessly wailing on!!
Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan at the top of their game. Vastly underrated album by most Yes fans. Too bad that this formation of the band only produced 1 album.
Rare? What about the last 500 years of western classical music? It is only now in the rock/ pop paradigm, that technical ability and musicality are strangely devided
Rest in peace, Chris Squire and Alan White, two of the best musicians the rock scene has had the privilege to see. I love how Alan is enjoying Chris' bassline at 0:38.
Indeed Simon Peter!..quite challenging to " wrap the mind around".. Hmm.however since both YES..and the Buggles..were Innovative/ pioneers in own unique respect...sigh
Simon Peter Groebner Love this comment, made me smile when I read it. It also, made me think about the moment I discovered that Buggles had hooked up with Yes. Talk about getting a shock! I was in complete disbelief and believe I was disturbed for some time.
I bought this album a couple of months after its release in 1980. I’d just graduated HS, signed my enlistment papers for the Air Force and enjoyed a fun summer. Once I finished basic, it was my soundtrack for fire academy.
I will never get used to Chris being gone. It makes me sad whenever I realise that there is a period on the incredible musical sentence that was Chris Squire. We are truly blessed that he and his musical perfection are available to be enjoyed into eternity
I was introduced to the music of Yes about 3 years before 90125 was released. I never understood the apparent hatred towards Geoff and Trevor from the "die hard" fans. I appreciated this album as much as any other I heard. The bass line from this song still is, in my opinion, one of the best bass lines ever. It really drives the song. Chris Squire is impressive in any decade.
Agree that this is impressive musicianship, and the hated for anyone given the opportunity to join this great band is irrational. However, this does not go to my island with me like Fragile, Close to the Edge, or Going for the One --- all of which included Anderson, Squire, Wakeman and Howe.
Prog rock is great but some prog rock fans are a bit snobbish......they couldn't reconcile a 'pop' duo joining a 'prog' band. They ignored the obvious talent and stuck to their arrogant 'outrage'. I think they look back differently now.....
I was a Yes fan when The Yes Album was released. I thought this album was awesome when it came out. I also thought Relayer was great and got to see the Relayer tour in 1974. Great show!
Chris Squire's bass is simply legendary! His intricate playing and powerful tone drive the track with incredible energy and precision. An absolute masterclass in bass performance!
Getting high and rocking out with my buds in the early 80's listening to my older sisters Yes album , never once pausing to think how every member of this band was literally on fire.
I won't say it's my favorite Yes album, but this is my favorite song from that album. That bass groove is just killer. RIP Mr Squire, we respect admire, and miss you sir.
Man, I watch this clip every week for 2 years and I never noticed how killer that fill is man...no doubt! I guess it is kinda hidden between the vocoder part and the next main part. Killer!
@@rockonguitar8117 I saw others post on how easy the drummers get it when covering this song comparable to the guitarist, keys, bass...and this is one of my examples that proves Alan's not slacking at all here.
SEEING Chris Squire play this bass line and sing with it is humbling. To play such an "involved" bass part and sing the HARMONY to the lead is just... humbling lol.. RIP Squire.
Not as good as their 70s work but this is prolly their best 80s song just no Jon Anderson and there is absolutely no replacing him. It's a different sound I know but still
Once again,Yes proved that band members can come and go,but their spirit never left. Here,Chris Squire shows why he one of the greatest bassists ever to come along.His influence is still heard today.RIP CHRIS.
Very Special Person to have Played the Way He Did as a Great Musician and the Ability to Play in a Great Band a long the Years with Many (YES) Line-up Changes throughout the Decades !!! He Will Be Remembered and Missed by Many !!!! RIP Chris Squire and can’t Forget Alan White as Well 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
I didn't appreciate these guys when I was a young man...... BUT I SURE DO NOW!!!!!!!!! The precision, timing, and mastery of their instruments is amazing.
I know exactly what you mean because there’s other bands that didn’t click with me in my younger years but now I just can’t get enough of them ZZ Top is a perfect example
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!.
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.
Takes me back. What a great and HIGHly intricate song! Wow! Who's that maniac on bass?! And singing back ups toe to toe with the lead singer allthewhile?? What???!!! HOW???!!! Anyway. A great song!!
Agree that this album has aged well. Could not really appreciate it at the time with the departure of Jon and Rick. But as time as passed it is one of my favorite Yes albums
Can we all just appreciate Chris Squire's finger madness while he's singing? RIP.
incredible
Yep. The man seemed to have a third hemisphere (or whatever the name should be for a third part of a brain divided in three sections). To sing and play the bass is always difficult, even when playing basic stuff.
Absolutely! Also check out Larry Graham.
Ummmm it's a music video, think they're lip syncing to the recording? Think Chris laid the base line down then dubbed the vocals?
hes no geddy lee
Never understood why this album never received all the attention it deserved. It's a musical jewel.
It has aged very well.
Criminally underrated album; one of my faves.
Underrated because no anderson
It's a great album even though Jon wasn't singing.
Just because is not the original formation.
Chris Squire is definitely the best and most badass bassist of all time. Rest in Peace legend.
he was effectively amasing, and had a great voice too.. RIP
He and entwistle are having an eternal jam
My favorite since I heard "Heart Of The Sunrise" when "Fragile" came out. Sheer Brilliance

R.I.P. Alan White. Losing him and Chris Squire is just too much. Love this album.
My favorite album of all time and favorite song. #Drama
Yes two great players and to me Chris Squire was like the foundation of YES as up to a point he was the one constant of this band!
I did see Yes in 2011 when they were still alive 😢
Losing Jon and Rick gave Steve, Chris, and Alan a chance to shine and they produced probably the most rocking Yes album ever. I know many people hate this album. I love it.
Well put!

@@yutuberocks22 yes sir.
I wanted to hate it but I couldn’t. It’s actually one of my favorite YES albums.
Steve Howe and Chris Squire are beyond the beyond.
Yes is beyond the beyond.
I've seen them 2 Times in Italy, both over 60 years of age, and they where still amazing...
Miss You Chris 😔
And shame on Jon for perpetually dismissing this powerful album
really shame on them all for acting like fools all these years, even Chris dying couldn't bring em all back together@@cesarincamendozaloyola4407
@@cesarincamendozaloyola4407it's below YES standards, that's why
Though not bad, this should be retitled Asia, not Yes.
The fact that Squire could play that bass line while also singing those lyrics prove that he had two brains.
Totally agree: singing whilst playing that super-busy bassline is pretty amazing.
Geddy Lee and Les claypool are really good at that and their both fans if squire I believe
Thanks for confirming exactly what I was consciously thinking before scrolling the comments!
Geddy lees Idol!!!
And he's having a blast too you can see it. Not only one of my favorite bassist of all time but one of my favorite musicians, period.

We saw them at the Cow Palace in Daly City in 1980. A fantastic show. Squire at the top of his game. The band was super tight the whole set.
For me this has always been the definitive Yes song.
Great song from Yes's best album since Relayer.
So nice to see Chris smiling and enjoying playing. I had the pleasure spending a half hour with him after a show once and we talked all about a lot more than music. Very nice man. RIP Chris
Wow very jelly! What a fantastic memory. RIP.

You were so Lucky. I met Chris at a Roger Dean art show at an LA gallery. He signed some YES album art. So kind.
Trevor Horn sounds amazing!!! His range is awesome.
I agree. I would have liked to hear him sing more with Yes.
Such a unique personallity!
So why do Chris and Steve have to sing the entire song with him? Kinda says he couldn't handle the gig.
@@Robert_St-Preux Kinda funny how Horn got a grammy and Anderson never did...
@@Robert_St-Preux And in terms of handling the gig, he handled the band right into the 80s, basically saving them. Don't be so critical of Trevor Horn...
Yes' "Drama" album was a then-underappreciated genius musical hybrid of 70's prog and 80's new wave. No other record like it exists as far as I know.
Crest of a Knave - Jethro Tull
I think that's probably the best description I've ever read of this album. I couldn't quite figure it out but that is it.
Rush "Grace under Pressure"
@@gktde9874 *...yeeesss the best of Rush amigo!!!!!!*
🎵🎶👌🏼💪🏼🧠✨
For some reason it reminds me of Rush and Iron Maiden combineed.
I remember boycotting this Album for years because no JA. Then when i finally listened to it, did I realize how I was missing out on a great album.
you are forgivin
Wow! Wanna hear something funny? DRAMA was the first YES album I owned. When it was still new!
This bassline convinced me to start playing bass 20 years ago. ❤️
I played it for my cousin a proficient bassist and he happily called me two days later and could only slowly play what Chris is effortlessly wailing on!!
Still one of my fave Yes songs to this very day. RIP Alan White 🙏🏼
Chris Squire was a master on the bass. RIP.
Trevor Horn is so underrated. This album really stands out in their catalog as a brilliant statement to 80's progressive rock.
Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan at the top of their game. Vastly underrated album by most Yes fans. Too bad that this formation of the band only produced 1 album.
They also made Fly from here :) (with another singer, but trevor was still producing, writting and providing backing vocals)
Fly From Here was a pleasant surprise.
Alan was a beast all over this album.
How were they to top this??
Recently they re-released Fly from Here with Trevor Horn on vocals, making the line up the same of Drama. You could check it out, it sounds fantastic.
Drama is super under rated.
VERY underrated
+sammay600 True. Nowadays albums are under-appreciated and unlikely to be uncovered by a new audience. A loss.
I rank it just under the classic Yes albums from "The Yes Album" to "Relayer."
I love all of Yes, but yeah, Drama is AMAZING. One of the greatest!
Except for a few parts of "Going For the One", I think "Drama" is the only Yes album after "Relayer" that's worth a damn.
The overall greatness of this band since 1968 is highly underrated, inducted into the Rock in Roll Hall of Fame way to late.
One of my favorite YES albums 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
So wonderful to see a young, healthy Chris Squire.
A rare example of technical skills and musicality.
Rare? What about the last 500 years of western classical music?
It is only now in the rock/ pop paradigm, that technical ability and musicality are strangely devided
RIP Chris Squire you were tremendous
That lick at 3:02!!! HS
And a class guy too!
Robert Mizek: Yes
Man oh man could Squire play the bass.
And a good vocal harmonizer as well.
@@genericusername1365 im listening on some nice AKG headphones and that bass sounds amazing for sure
..OH yeah...r.i.p. ...
He played lead bass like John Entwhistle
He doesn't show his high vocals in this video, but in addition to what everyone else said he could hit some great high harmony notes.
Rest in peace, Chris Squire and Alan White, two of the best musicians the rock scene has had the privilege to see.
I love how Alan is enjoying Chris' bassline at 0:38.
Chris Squire is the bad ass of bad asses. Playing a complicated bass part while singing a completely different part. RIP The Mighty Chris Squire
I'd add a million likes to your sentiment if I could. He was incredible ❤❤❤
Steve and Chris seem to be enjoying themselves for a change. Trevor and Geoff were a breath of fresh air.
Buggles merged with Yes!! And it worked! Let that sink in for a moment.
Simon Peter Groebner Exactly! I really wish XYZ would have happened. That would have been awesome!
The Buggles are the reason I discovered yes
Right! It took many years for me to understand that, but it's true.
Indeed Simon Peter!..quite challenging to " wrap the mind around"..
Hmm.however since both YES..and the Buggles..were Innovative/ pioneers in own unique respect...sigh

My favorite album. Trevor Horn vocals was perfect and rest of the band mates nailed it.
Squire was such a great bassist, one of the best of all time RIP Squire
It breaks my heart every time I see Chris playing. Taken too soon! May he look down on us an REST IN PEACE! Keep his legacy alive, guys.
I can totally understand Howe and Squire's admiration for this album. They are on another level on every track. Brilliant work!
And Alan White is all over it on every track.
One of Yes’ best tracks of all time.
Tempus Fugit & Sound Chaser have no rivals and clearly place Howe, Squire & Alan at the peak of their game and the pinnacle of modern music.
Every bassist and wanna-be bassist is bowing down in homage throughout this video.
Rest In Peace Alan White. You are and always will be an absolute LEGEND! Tempus Fugit

Incredibly underated Album and they were killing it on Tour Miss those Great Yes Show's
I'm 51 ....and Drama is one of my favorite albums..!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd hear this all the time in the Fall of 1980 on 95.5 WPLJ "New York's Best Rock"
Alan White one of the best drummers of our time.
My favourite yes song of all time!
Always amazed me how Chris could play such intricate parts and sing at the same time.
Perfect example of...
"ANYBODY can be replaced"
Great album
Someone should've gave Genesis the memo, they STRUGGLED to replace Phil Collins when making Calling All Stations
Jon is replaceable, Chris isn't. It still sounded like Yes because of Chris' backing vocals.
Except Chris Squire, yeah
Bought a Bass guitar because Chris inspired me to. He and Geddy Lee are the greatest Bass men in the known Universe!
YES was always many light years ahead... and they always will be. RIP Chris (and Thank-You!)
Check out John Entwistle from the who. They didn't call him thunderfingers for nothing.
Grew up with this album. Awesome. Trevor Horn was hitting all cylinders! Run through the Light is classic and glad only die hard fan's know it. 😊
Just a phenomenal song. Alan swoops and dives through it. Just impeccable and daring.

Not as good as their 70s work but this is prolly their best 80s song just no Jon Anderson and there is absolutely no replacing him. It's a different sound I know but still
Bill whats wrong with you?
My personal favorite.
Remember when this came out. It was a surprise that Anderson and wakeman were out but this song and the album were great
This band…and Kansas…two of the greatest bands of their time who were way ahead of their time…
RIP Alan White. Exquisite work.
One of the best bass lines ever written. Such a groove.
The best bass riff in music history

Did you miss out on seeing them live cause they were UNREAL
One of my all time favorite bass riffs ever and Chris plays it on the electra bass which had a built in flanger effect.
Yes, Chris Squire always drives the music forward, steers it. Rest in Peace Chris Squire.
And Alan White
Probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Yes song of all time. The most underrated version of Yes IMO.
The best non-classic area Yes album. It has endured from its very surprising personnel change and mixed reviews debut.
Never gets old. Talent at its finest.
Probably the most fun and relaxed version of Yes.
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.
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.
Takes me back.
What a great and HIGHly intricate song!
Wow!
Who's that maniac on bass?!
And singing back ups toe to toe with the lead singer allthewhile??
What???!!! HOW???!!!
Anyway.
A great song!!
This is the line up that seemed to be having the most fun. I love this record -- wish there had been more.
This will always be my personal favorite Yes song
My first Yes album, and probably still my favourite.
Squire. the greatest rock bass player
I'm so glad I saw this tour! relived the song tonight!
Agree that this album has aged well. Could not really appreciate it at the time with the departure of Jon and Rick. But as time as passed it is one of my favorite Yes albums
the bass lines along with the drums in this fantastic song, are amazing...the tempo it´s all in this song.
One of my favorite bands of all time!!
Alan was rocking those drums back and forth and they SOUND great!
My favourite track on a great album.
Will never forget the day my jaw hit the ground after Yes announced they'd be joining with The Buggles.
Yeah. 45 years later and I'm almost over the betrayal.
@andyharman3022
Are you over that they did their best work with this line up?
Between Squire and Howe, they kept that ship afloat. And Trevor's voice was a good match for Jon.
The key was Squire's background vocals, that's why it still sounded like Jon, a lot of time it was both Jon and Chris singing together.
