The story behind
Yes recorded "Cinema" in 1983, as part of the album 90125. It was the band's first instrumental to win a Grammy, in 1985, for best instrumental rock performance. The song originated from a long composition called "Time", which was cut down to just over two minutes. The band that recorded it was called Cinema at first, but later changed its name to Yes when Jon Anderson joined. The song was the first of the night at the 9012Live concert, and remains one of the most recognized tracks on the album. ↓ Skip to chords
