It may come as a surprise to many who follow the collective, but the Black Heart ritual would have been the first ritual if it had not been canceled the end of May. Same thing is true of their first appearance at the UK Tech Fest in July 2017.
The first true ritual came about on October 23 2017 at the O2 Academy Islington in support of Motorpsycho. It was a very small set that included Nazareth, When the Bough Breaks, Fields of Elation, Jericho, and Hey Ya. The setlist may have included others from the EPs released up to that point but there is no footage or record of those songs being performed.

A rarity pre-social media wipe is bass cams from our favorite bassist, III. Via sources from the same team that created the Sleep Token Ritual Timeline, here is a Vore bass cam from the 2023 North American Rituals Tour. This was from the second night in Pomona, California on October 10 2023 and their last night of this tour.

On October 8 of 2018, Sleep Token officially released the song “The Way That You Were”. [X]
