Rick waved to us with bunny ears at 4:50 while ripping a crazy solo. God bless him, his talent, and his humour.

This Drummer is PHENOMENAL! _Man_!

I saw Rick with the English rock ensemble in Cincinnati in the 70’s. Opening band was gentle giant. Great show!!

This man is a genius. Simply the best keyboard player in the world.

Rick is so awesome... but WOW! the drummer is awesome too! Rick always surrounded himself with other great musicians as well!

used to think Jon Lord was masterful but keep coming back to Rick....the guy is beyond anything that ever touched a keyboard

The one and only!the Master of Keybords,and the Magician of Progressive Rock,Mr Rick Wakeman.

It will be 30 years ago this November I had the honour of playing keys with Rick on stage in London.

Keyboard king 🎹

Fantastic... The best! ... I lived this moments when I was sixteen. Unforgetable! ...

ricks just fuckin´ awesome

you can't get better then this!!

The best line up you will ever get to grace a stage. Rick, Tony, Dave, and Ashley, PERFECTION.

Amazing !

Rick Wakeman para mim é o eterno mago dos teclados, insuperável um grande músico muito competente, Jon Anderson do Yes que o diga, uma grande escolha para a banda, e em trabalho a solo também, o cara é fantástico !

I dont believe I have ever heard a better keyboard player...

Bach would be proud to know Wakeman. I love them both.

OMG! THIS....is a nice lineup. That drummer is fantastic! l LOVE this! Way to go Rick.

Rick has been my hero for 4 decades. Along with millions of other creative beings.

All three, just amazingly proficient players-can't remember the last time I saw a great percussion solo. Wakeman blows my mind.

Quelle joie de l'écouter à nouveau. C'est génial.

Awesome. One of the best Wakeman performances.

2018.. still is one of the best rick preformace for me!

Why doesn't anyone ever mention that Rick, besides being a great player,also is the one keyboard player who has alway understood that a keyboard is an instrument in its own right with a distinct and personal sound. A pianosound on a Roland is very different from a Korg and certain keyboards are better (or worse) in producing certain sounds. That's why he has so many keyboards on stage (9 keyboards + 9 rack modules) and THAT's what sets him apart from players that use only 1 or 2 to do it all.

Anne would be honoredd for such a tribute. Thank you Mr. Wakeman.

I absolutely agree - brilliant

First I am not a musician. I enjoy the Classics: Bach Beethoven and Yes. And for the 70's and beyond there is no R&R pianist like Mr. Wakeman. Bravo. Such beautiful movement through vibrations of sound. Thank you for this wonderful piece.

You just can't play like that!! He's not human!! Fuckin' awesome

The musical magician ... in all his brilliance.

Mr. Wakeman, the number one on keyboards, no doubt!!

Very great drummer...

Pure genius, God given talent is Rick.

HOLY STINKIN' _DRUMMER!_ l just LOVE Rick! Always have, Always WILL!

David Paton. Hero of my youth and beyond.

Pure beauty by the one-and-only Keyboards Wizard.

I have the cd of this live and it s fantastic

VinicusLimaRS -- You are right. There are some of us who appreciate great music! Thanks for posting. Post more!

A great oeuvre. The piano part at the end is absolut beautiful. Wow!

Absolutely amazing

Trop bien

This version is so much cooler then the old one

I heard RW in Tivoli in Denmark dekades ago (In the 70´s). Fantastic -got all his music at that time and Yes LP´s to.

I think this is one of Wakeman's own best versions of this great piece! Amazing musicianship and skills!

I luv you, Rick xxxxx

Just unreal. The man closes his eyes and paints a picture with his music.....like his Mum told him to do.

His piano teacher told him to do that….the girl with freckles lol

Master ! Good drumming !

I got here from searching for some good music, and this blown my mind, especially that part where Wakeman did the percussive stuff on his keyboard. Literally got me gaping in awe.

It is sad friend, is logical! The masses do not differentiate the good from the bad! God gave us a privileged ear to appreciate this greatest of the music! Greetings from Argentina and RIK WAKEMAN LIVE! Atte. Colonel. James Braddock

Genio, hace mas de 30 años que escucho el tema y sigo emocionándome, Gracias por tu arte

Genio de las teclas!!!

what musical genious!

Um mestre no teclado, maravilhoso sempre!

can't get enough of this. so freaking good. ahhhh

Tony Fernández , Rick wakeman y David Paton❤️❤️

Simply great! Good to see Rick as good as ever. Rich John Sumner

Красивая главная тема и как он лихо раскрыл её!!! Дал соло барабанщику и элект.гитаре. Слушается музыкальная пьеса и сегодня. Мне понравилась эта композиция. Браво, Рик!!!

Estos si eran músicos y de altísima calidad .... desgraciadamente eso murió.

Amazing percussion section!

That's what I mean. Not only is he a great musician he's also a great (midi)tech and programmer. He's said that he really doesn't like to use pre-programmed patches but likes to tweak them. And if he doesn't like the feel of the keys he'll just midi the sound to another keyboard that has better expression. That part of him is a great inspiration to me as an electronic-drums player. My kit has 4 controlers so I can use the best sounds of each module. (and very few of them are onboard sounds)

Yes, fantastic !

He makes it look so dam simple.....

Excelente Video!!!! Tengo este mismo DVD y lejos es lo mejor que tiene el DVD....!!!! Grande Rick Wakeman

Hola mucho gusto, me podrias decir cual es ese DVD, como lo puedo conseguir? Muchas gracias!

Very Nice,..

Гений!!!!!!!

RICK WAKEMAN has his own KZread channel.

They cannot be compared sweetheart. They are both equally talented, gifted, and extremely well trained. One style might differ from the other a wee bit but they are equal in all that is called beauty. Is one swallowtail butterfly more beautiful than another? I'm thankful a young woman like yourself gets to live out this same magical time in rock history as most of us did. Gone but not forgotten and carried on ahead by people like yourself ;)

I went to see Yes 5/10 in Santa Rosa..Oliver Wakeman did a fantastic job...Chip off the old block..Met him afterwards..Such a gentleman. Too bad they did not appreciate him enough for their recent album. And Ben-Wa is no Jon Anderson. Wakeman Rules!!

Great wizard wakeman is, even the drumming

Genuinely nice guy as well, saw him years ago at Rotherham Leisure Centre :) Very down to earth and very few pretensions. Not bad for a guy who once ordered 6 White Rolls Royces and subsequently blew all his fortune. Gotta love that :) I agree, a musical genius indeed!

I`m in tears... Wow!

не забываемое !

Astonished!

Sounds like Roland U-220 piano sound, very unique sample set. Not much memory they had available those days (2MB total ROM for U-220) and yet, the results are remarkable. Together with strings it would border on cliche when played by someone else. But in Rick's hands I can listen to it over and over and will never get tired.

O.o' Amazing!

...maravillosoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh those 'trills' !!

Great, a really genious...

2:23 MAGIC!

Maravilhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

because this f...g song he makes my life much, much more infinitely better!!

Great performance

Thanks alot!

Totally agree bruffie - and lets not forget that Rick, while doing grass roots piano with Strawbs etc. can also write for an orchestra - and has the 'feel' that so many keyboard players that while technically brilliant, do not seem to get across. This man is a genius :)

Wise words, I totally agree!

I think the best sounds Rick does comes from the Roland D-50 Linear Synth, though I would love to hear him with an Oberheim OB-X

@supadupahilton6848

Probably the two best synths out there.

If I can put in my two cents: I think what sets Rick apart from the rest isn't so much his playing (others were great at that too (Keith Emerson to name but one)), but his interest in the instrument itself. Rick was the first one with multiple, multiple keyboards on stage. At first Moogs because they had no (patch)memory. But even in this clip he plays 9 different keyboards (and typicaly via midi 9 more in rack version). He rarely plays of the shelf pre-programmed sounds, but really pushes the envelope: programming, layering en combining sounds and keyboards to get totally unique sounds.

Rick hace sonar estos teclados con la misma versatilidad que hacía sonar los indiscutibles Moog, mellotron, órgano, piano, piano electrónico, etc. No es lo mismo, pero eso es lo bueno, al menos viniendo de Rick. No cualquier tecladista puede abandonar una lista clásica de teclados y seguir sonando como un groso. Es cierto que Rick volvió a usar Moogs en el siglo XXI, en sus actuaciones solo y con Yes.

Incredible talent! RCM trained!

SO TRUE!

fantástico....

Nowadays electronic tecno distorted dance music is fashion..... discardable cell phone songs. Moby is also one who has much more qualities than views in u tube..... fortunately we can see and listen to the best of all times whenever we want......

Muy bueno Sau2 desde Buenos Aires Argentina

from this vid i got the inspiration to get a Cheetah Master Series 7P Midi keyboard.

most progressive 12 minutes of my life

Em especial aos irmãos Djalma Bragança (in memorian), Ricardo Bragança, Ernesto Alberto Vasconcellos, Lucia Maria Rodrigues Pessanha, pelo amor a arte e aos teclados.

Fantastic!

eccezionale

the best in the world
