Yes

Let’s take a trip back to 2018—an exciting year for Yes, marking their 50th anniversary. This particular live recording, captured on July 21 at the Fillmore in Philadelphia, showcases the band performing “Does It Really Happen?” from their 1980 album, "Drama." What’s fascinating here is the context: "Drama" was a pivotal point in Yes's evolution, featuring a shift in their lineup that introduced keyboardist Geoff Downes and singer Trevor Horn. This was a bold move, coming just as the band faced pressures after their previous album, “Going for the One.” So, as they hit the stage in Philly for this anniversary tour, it wasn’t just about looking back—it was about celebrating their resilience and continued creativity. The energy of the crowd on this special occasion must have been electric, as fans reflected on decades of Yes’s transformative music. Who doesn’t love a good nostalgia trip?
