    Rick Wakeman is one of the most tragically under-used talents ever. Dude not only has all those musical, comedic and storytelling chops, but he's just so much else besides...and most importantly, he laughs at himself more joyously than anyone else. A good egg, he is.

      “TRAGICALLY under-used”? What prize does TH-cam award for the most hyperbolic comment? The competition seems to be fierce.

      Yes indeed, sir!!!! He talked onstage about Keith Emerson on a tribute due to Emerson's death, and all his memories on the 'E' are fantastically funny! Of course he had to go that way, so the people could remember Keith Emerson as a funny man himself too.... I'm sure Keith wouldn't like tears on him, so Rick made an awesome job to keep the crowd happy in the middle of a sad moment. Rest In Peace MAESTRO KEITH EMERSON AND MASTER GREG LAKE.
      Another word: both Rick and Keith kicked arse!

    When i worked for tesco in bury St Edmunds Suffolk around 2008 it seemed to be the go to supermarket for celebrities, john peel was a regular customer as was boy George's old mate and one hit wonder marylin, i watched him walk around the shop floor around 11.30pm singing the greatest love of all, he was at the time a client of a local rehab center, weirdly witney Houston passed shortly after ! I saw rick wakeman leaving the store and i couldn't help shouting from my van thanks for shopping at tesco mr wakeman, he looked surprised but waved back with a smile, top geezer.

    Seeing this reminded me how he was meticulous as he says in this video, in sound checking, tuning and prepping for a long time before a show in Gainesville at UF in early 1974. We were working supposedly, students doing security 😂, for a few hours before a Yes show which of course blew us away. Funny that the (i think it was) quadraphonic system didn’t work even though set up, quad technology in general seemed like that. We were very impressed of course with the whole affair and I became a fan of his and the whole band for life.
