Yes

In November 1975, as Yes took the stage in Detroit, they were riding high on the success of their album *Relayer*, which had just dropped that same year. This album was noteworthy because it marked the band's first collaboration with keyboardist Patrick Moraz, who had stepped in after Rick Wakeman's departure. The live performance captured in this video is a fantastic showcase of Yes’s progressive rock prowess during this transitional period. Interestingly, *Relayer* features extended tracks, blending intricate musicianship with jazz influences, which really shines through in their improvisation during performances. The segment highlighting Moraz's solo illustrates the band's ability to experiment with new sounds, a hallmark of their aesthetic. It’s a snapshot of a pivotal moment, revealing how they were not just maintaining their footing but pushing boundaries in the ever-evolving rock landscape. Wouldn’t you love to see how that vibrant energy translated into their later works?
