Yes Full Concert - 'Drama live' at Royal Albert Hall

Venue: Royal Albert Hall Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: May 10, 2016

Ah, Yes! This iconic band has had quite the journey, hasn’t it? By the time they performed at the Royal Albert Hall on May 10, 2016, they were riding high on the release of *Heaven & Earth*, their 21st studio album, which came out in 2014. It's a fascinating time, really, as they were celebrating their legacy while also pushing into new sonic territories. One standout feature of this live recording is how it showcases songs from their 1980 album *Drama*, which marked a significant shift in their sound with the introduction of singer Trevor Horn. The juxtaposition of classic tracks like “Machine Messiah” alongside more recent material demonstrates the band's deep artistic evolution. Playing at such a prestigious venue also speaks volumes about their enduring appeal; fans packed the hall, eager to see a band that’s not just survived but thrived across decades. If you think about it, it’s a testament to their ability to adapt while still retaining that quintessential Yes essence.
