I see that yesterday was the 47th anniversary of the release of Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes. Usually seen as a prime example of progressive rock disappearing up its pretentious ass, I think it's certainly flawed but there's a lot of good music to be had. This is "Ritual" from their Yes: Live – 1975 at Q.P.R. video. You can hear the influence of this song in IQ, most blatantly in "The Last Human Gateway".
I don't care what the critics say, this song is fantastic and I love the percussion interlude.
