Yes

In January 1975, Yes was deep into their "Relayer" tour, showcasing the powerful live energy that the band was known for. Just prior to this recording, the album "Relayer" itself had been released in late 1974, marking a pivotal moment in their career. This album was a bold step following the critically acclaimed "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge," and it welcomed keyboardist Patrick Moraz into the fold, taking over from the legendary Rick Wakeman. The live performance at Loftus Road Stadium in London captures the band’s intricate musicianship and the burgeoning chemistry between the members, with songs like "Ritual" highlighting their progressive rock prowess. It’s fascinating to note that Moraz’s tenure was brief—he would be replaced by Wakeman again just a year later. This transition not only affected the band’s sound but also became an essential part of Yes’s storied history in the progressive rock genre.
