Outstanding performance. And it is amazing how Rick Wakeman is able to rework creatively his greatest originals in many different settings, as it occurs for instance in this very convincing solo piano version.
quem quiser discordar tem todo o direito , mas pra mim , Rick Wakeman é o grande músico da historia do meu rock , além de tudo o que estão ouvindo nessa aula de piano . È o cara .
Had the great pleasure of seeing his Grand Piano Tour at Memorial Hall in Melrose Massachusetts. Meet and greet afterwards. What a gentleman. Tall, sexy and gorgeous. Yikes.
Why I gave up playing the keyboards! Saw his live show a few years ago and that was it! Nice guy too and I am glad he is back with Jon Anderson and Trevor Rabin. Not only is he an amazing player, he seems to play mostly with his eyes closed.
I saw another video where he said his first piano teacher (when he was a wee lad) told him to do that so that he could imagine the scene. Boggles my mind.
Once you've heard this, Close to the Edge, Tarkus, Brain Salad, Selling England By The Pound, Octopus, Free Hand...how can you then take punk or hip-hop or techno or any of that crap seriously? Music for the ages.
Notice his perfect position of hands classically trained and concentration, re-creating all the time his own creations - handfully mastering himself in these always sublime musical evocations. Hands clean and delicate whether you might perceive them closely - of a true concertist of contemporain ages!! Notem sua perfeita posição de mãos classicamente treinadas e concentração, re-criando a todo o tempo suas próprias criações - diligentemente dominando a ele mesmo nestas quase sublimes evocações musicais. Mãos limpas e delicadas se as percebermos bem de perto - de um verdadeiro concertista das eras hodiernas!! Miren su perfecta ubicación de manos clasicamente entrenadas y concentración, re-creando a todo el tiempo sus propias creaciones - diligentemente en dominio de si mismo en estas casi sublimes evocaciones musicales. Manos limpias y delicadas sy las mirarmos muy cerquita - de un verdadero concertista de las eras contemporaneas!!

On or off the keyboards Rick Wakeman is Pure Genius!
My roommate in college played this record for me when I was 19...now I'm 49...I forgot how much I liked it. Fantastic for the nerves of life!!!
RICK WAKEMAN : THE MUSICIAN OF MY SOUL.
How wonderful it must be to sit down and use your ten fingers like this!
He lets Angel's guide his fingers. Mere mortals are incapable of such beauty.
Amazing musician and , having met him on a couple of occasions, a really genial, nice guy.Thanks Rick; your music means so much to many people

I've been a fan since I first saw Yes at Newcastle City Hall many many years ago, and I'm only just now realising what a stunning musician he is.
Amazing, never tire of listening to his music.
A most fascinating interpretation of a great masterwork. I love this! Also, this DVD is definitely among Wakeman's best. Highly recommended!
A masterpiece from the maestro.
Absolute performance!! And fantastic piano music 👏👏thanks for the so beautiful music Rick 👏👏 !!

I don't know how it's even possible. I wonder if his eyelids are see through?

Technique of Rick is always concentrated and very pleasant! Recommend!
Ya Think?
OH! This is lovely!! l like them all medley'd like that!
Amazing performance by a maestro
Playing the keys like that ....must feel like FLYING! Bravo Wakes! All Glory to GOD for his heaps of Blessings!!!

El primer vinilo que compré (tenía 14 años) fue: "Crime of the Century". Aún lo conservo y no me canso de oírlo.
I am in Love
I wish Rick would make it look difficult to play the piano
Damoskinos ~ l _know_ hey? just look at how straight he keeps those fingers as they fly TOO!
❤❤❤
I don't think.he has been knighted yet and should be.
I think "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" is the best Wakeman's album.
Único, eterno

Grande Rick!!!
oh my
Unforunately Keith Emerson never did a similar performance, a solo piano soirèe.
+aspic59 He did write the Emerson Piano Concerto though... RIP.
Even more unfortunate: Rick and Keith never collaborated a live session.
Yamaha!
Its when you accidentally bump into things like this collection that makes TH-cam fantastic (recognizing that they hate the First Amendment).
Yes on both counts.
Fantastic! Does anyone have the score for this version?

Pobre nene! Tiene problemas para mover los deditos...
