Yes Masterworks - "Ritual" (Part 3)

[craigsports1]

this 3 video-set was edited masterfully

[ChevKen]

The "Yesshows" version of this is the one I prefer.There is a weird growling sound that you hear during this section.It almost reminds me of the demon voice from "The Exorcist"

[Watchmaker9]

@ChevKen I know the one that you mean. I was under 10 when I first heard that version and it was pretty scary at the time. Really dark and evil sounding.

Dear God I love these guys.

Been in my life for 40 years. Sounds as good now as it did then. This song is so full of longing.

Amazing. Beautiful. Wondrous.

Long live YES.

[annwags]

Pity this excellent version isn't widely available. Would Rick throw a fit? The sound isn't great but it's decent. The quieter moments really suffer.

Not a bad rendition, but it seems they started to jell again in the later renditions of 'Ritual', especially when Rick Wakeman came back on the scene once again. Since this rendition, there have been several of higher calibre throughout the '00's, especially the rendition that was accompanied by a full orchestra and the rendition that can only be seen on Netflix. I cannot remember the boys playing 'Ritual' with such vigor back in the '70's. In fact, the ensuing tour was rather muted.

[Arrluck]

FAR better than the studio version

[joecas2000]

@Arrluck i always felt that his song live was much better than the studio version

[madamevolga]

man, i love this song but the editing in this vid is not doing the music any justice...

[mensageiradaluz]

this is wonderful...

jack, from Brazil

[Caveman6666x]

Don't sound bad, but was much better on the '74 tour. Love to hear some of that again...

[diosesygenerales]

is a great concert

the songs of "Tales from Topographic Oceans" is to listen all day

in particular "Ritual" and "Revealing the science of god", I love it!

[diosesygenerales]

is a complex harmonic percussion, is so long...

matchless Yes!

[diosesygenerales]

I felt immersed in this wonderful ritual percussion, but Howe opened me a way out with his immortal guitar...

[ASeasonedWitch]

Please, someone alert me the next time I'm about to miss a show of this caliber.

It'll be a long time coming, I'm afraid, before we hear these tunes perfomed by this lineup.

[swaggs]

Wow, some of you folks kill me. So what if the recording is sub par. What do you want perfection everytime someone decides to record at a concert? . Close your eyes and enjoy the power of the music and stop bitching.

[efddevilsrule]

Do not listen to ANY of the jerkoff whiners among those who have posted above.

I was at this concert, and it was the best concert I have ever seen by any band.

And your capture is par excellance. I will watch this many times over for the great memories.

Don't listen to the bitches.

I used to listen to Ritual for hours and drove my parents crazy. This is great. Thanks for uploading it.

[audiophile55]

This absolutely STINKS. You cannot hear Alan White's drum/percussion solo at all, and you most definitely can't SEE anything, due to the flashing lights, and the dark! What rip off!

[matic3060]

If you can find a higher quality video of this, then please upload!

[audiophile55]

I'm not complaining about the quality of your video. I am complaining about the lighting and the sound of the concert itself. It has nothing to do you with you.

gracias!!! son de otro planeta...
