I've never understood classical music. Recently I learned that the movements, sonatas,... etc in the language of Classical, are all about stories. And pictures/pieces of stories. To listen to this piece of music again is an awaking.
Love this! Hearing Jon's melodies, Steve's riffs, Chris's basslines, Rick's keyboard mastery, not sure about Alan's drums, but they are in there somewhere!
I was sitting ten feet away, although sitting doesn't quite describe what happens when you listen to Rick Wakeman. I've seen many a great pianist, around the world. Only Maurizio Pollini plays like this, cut-diamond precision and soaring tonality. Athena herself, the goddess of music and the arts, created Rick Wakeman.
Just saw him in Rahway NJ at the PAC theatre , Was 11th row center, but theres not a bad seat anywhere in the house. When he played this piece I nearly cried for all of Yes' and his music has been the soundtrack of my life ....
Wow. Just beautiful. This is one of the definitive keyboardists/pianists of our age. Quick story. For many years I enjoyed the song Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens. Decades. Particularly the piano accompaniment. At last it occurred to me to utilize the wonders of the web to find out who played the piano on the song. Well, of course. Imagine my reaction, especially as a long time, resolute Yes fan. Rick Wakeman. Of course. Of course it is. An icon.
Wonderful to hear all those 'hooks and timeless melodies' assembled and played so beautifully.😊 PS Id have definitely thrown the piano break bit of "south side of the sky" in for good measure too. It would have fitted perfectly too, just before 'the meeting'. Ohhhh he just did....❤
Always been a huge fan of Rick. This is fantastic imho.
You definitely are a big fan and your opinion definitely counts 👍🏻

bisogna riconoscere che senza la musica classica non avremmo avuto la musica Prog di cui Rick W. è stato ed è un alfiere mitico.

I am so grateful to have been there. Thanks for posting this.

And he's not bad at joke telling to boot ✨️🎶✨️

Thank you Rick Wakeman you've have inspired me and many many others to play the keyboards . definitely one of the all time greatest
Beautiful!
Fantastic!!! Rick is incredible. I wish I knew he was playing at the Tupelo. Londonderry is only 30 minutes away from me.

I wish there was a Yes band with Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman and… who else?
Sound of Yamaha is metallic
Despite loving Rick was never a Yes fan. I’m far more interested in the second side of this new Album which features the King Arthur arrangement
Imagine how much better he'd play if he pulled back the cuffs of his shirt sleeves! 🤛
They're wrist supports. Had issues for years and these help him manage the pain, I've read.
You call it, Sonata? ))))))
It’s a pop song ….
You call it a pop song?
I call it music. ❤❤
