Or was it this one I saw rather than Relayer. Was Moraz on the keyboards for that one as I never saw Wakeman and I remember them doing 'ritual'?

Defo Rick on keyboards when I saw them. Wasn't it just after TfTO that Rick left (for the first time!)?
 
This is just lovely. He looks as though he’s wandered in off the street and found a piano and started to play.

Yes , he left after the Topographic Oceans tour I believe.

Then it was the Relayer tour I saw with Moraz

Yes indeed, he's hardly the height of sartorial elegance! He says he mostly plays with his eyes closed and it really does seem as if he gets lost in the music.

If anyone on here gets a chance to see him then you won't be disappointed. Mrs L didn't really know much about him nor did Lego junior but both can't wait for the next visit to St George's!

Moraz played keys on the 1975 and 1976 tours which both included 'Ritual' in the set and which features on the "Yesshows" live album from the 1976 tour. The 'Relayer' tour which was in 1975 but whichever of those 2 tours you saw you would have seen the 'Relayer' lineup with Moraz and they would have definitely played 'Ritual'.

Saw the Close to the Edge tour in the Capitol Theatre, Cardiff.
Probably peak Yes.

Great stuff.

Just spoke to a mate with a better memory than me and it was the TFTO tour apparently in 1973!
In my defence they did play all three tracks from CTTE.

No need to thank me!

Just a bit of football related trivia, Rick Wakeman was a director of Brentford FC in the late 70s!

He's always been a Tory too. :evil:
 
They basically all hate it, but I first got into Yes in the early 90's when the Union album came out and my dad had it on in the car almost non stop. Always been a regular on my playlist since.

'Onion' Wakeman called it because it always makes him cry.

I quite liked it. It's the last one I ever bought though.
