In January 1975, during the live performance at QPR in Brazil, Yes was in a significant phase of their career following the release of their album "Relayer" in November 1974. "Relayer" marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their innovative style and willingness to experiment with complex arrangements and longer compositions. This period is characterized by the addition of keyboardist Patrick Moraz, who replaced Rick Wakeman. The live recording of “Ritual” captures the band at a time when they were transitioning creatively, melding their progressive rock roots with new influences. The concert also reflects their popularity in South America, where their music resonated deeply with fans. This performance is especially noted for its artistry and the band's dynamic stage presence, solidifying Yes's reputation as a leading act in the progressive rock scene during the 1970s.
