Yes

In early 1976, Yes was riding high on the success of their groundbreaking album *Relayer*, which had been released just a few months prior, in November 1974. This period marked a significant creative peak for the band, as they were pushing the boundaries of progressive rock with complex arrangements and dynamic musicianship. The live recording of "Patrick Moraz Piano Solo" captures a moment of this expansive energy, showcasing Moraz's virtuosic skills, particularly following his recent addition to the band as their keyboardist after Rick Wakeman's departure. Interestingly, *Relayer* themselves featured intricate compositions like "The Gates of Delirium," which hints at the band's ambitious artistry during this era. Their live performances, electrified by members such as singer Jon Anderson and bassist Chris Squire, were known not just for their music but also for their theatrical flair—a combination that left fans buzzing long after the shows. Such developments painted a vivid backdrop to Moraz's solo, blending their innovative sound with an intimate performance moment.
