Love for Tales from Topographic Oceans

The version of Ritual on Yesshows is even more rewarding.

Wonder if there exist any recording of Moraz playing others.

That was the crazy part, I didn't have any headphones...I just put the regular speakers a couple inches away on either side of my head and let it rip

Now that's what I call pulling a Marty McFly from back to the future.
Love it when he flys back! Lol

Hi!

Thanks for sharing your experience. As a younger proggie who wasn't around for the first wave, I really enjoy hearing stories about listening experiences when the albums first came out.

Tales is my favourite Yes album also, I like side 3 best though.
