Rick Wakeman has great personality. Not only fantastic musician, but also fond of jokes

The Six Wives album has been a constant companion to me since it first came out all those years ago... good times and bad it’s always been there to reassure the heart and lift the spirits. You cannot ask more of a work of art, thanks Rick you gave us all something extra special.

It is still, for me, his unbeatable best. His first 3 albums remain unsurpassed - with the possible addition of Return to the Centre ... IMHO! ... other opinions are available! 😊

Master of all things keyboards

Рик просто лучший ! Держит планку . И юморком порядок !

Happy 75th Birthday Rick.

Música e Compositor fantásticos!

The master with the excellent Lee Pomeroy on bass.

I love Rick Wakeman He tells it as it should be

Sempre l'inarrivabile Numero Uno! 😊😊😊 Grazie Maestro! ❤

What a wizard!

Very fond memories of being in the crowd at Cropredy watching this !

The master of his craft.

TODA UNA GENERACION DE VIRTUOSOS EL ES UN ENGRANE EN ESTA MAQUINA DE SONIDO QUE NOS LLEVA A UN SUEÑO , EN EL QUE POCOS PUEDEN ENTRAR .

We'll all be worm-meat in 10 years. But, Rick is one of the greats.

Thanks for the upload. Thank - you Mr Wakeman. You just keep getting better and better. Outstanding job. And hats off to the rest of the band!

MrTommy4000 -- he does pick good ones... Can you imaging auditioning? But I don't understand why he performs w/Ashley Holt. Does he know where the bodies are buried? ;-) Just a good friend. Put working with him after Jon is just incomprehensible. Maybe it's me. I still love the original "Journey..." though.

Rick is God playing music

Brilliant!

Tony and Lee with Rick. How cool is that.

@@caroleann_2142 with David Bowie and Elton John he was a paid session player. Sabbath is a bit different story. Yes were recording "Tales of Topographic oceans" in adjacent studio in the same time when Black Sabbath recorded "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". Wakeman was a pal of Ozzy, Tony(Iommy) and Geezer, so they asked him to add keyboard arrangement to the song, which he did almost for free (for beer, exactly). Also at one point Wakeman considered to join Black Sabbath as full-time member of the band. His son Adam continued on-off romance with Sabbath and Ozzy Osborne later as session and touring member

Thank for share it

it is a lefty bass though. i guess he played most of his life on a righty and finally bought a lefty but needed it strung how he learned it. gotta do whatcha gotta do!

Left handed rhythm section. Cool.

Great!!!

I had that vinyl.

I prefer the version on the D-50 pan flute. That was mesmerizing. This is better equipment in this video, no doubt, but there's nothing like the pan flute solo. Love Rick Wakeman, and his drummer.

He is blessed to not have arthritis at this present point in time

Great version of Catherine Parr, saw Rick and Tony with the English Rock Ensemble at Hammersmith Odeon in 1976 and a few times subsequently, I’m guessing Ashley Holt was on vocals at this show as usual ?

Rick e Rick!

Lee Pomeroy already up to speed for Yes music later.....

No disrespect to Keith Emerson or Jon Lord but the keyboard king of prog rock is Rick Wakeman. He was playing the London Symphony Orchestra at the same time he was recording with Yes back in the 70’s

I used to have it that Keith was the best Hammond organ player, Rick was the best pianist and Moraz was the best synth player. At least this is what I thought as a teen after a bong hit in the 70’s.

@@ER-me1ii I would say the John Lord was a better B3 player than Keith, and Keith was a master of the synth. Thing is, not a lot of Yes’ music had really involved B3 sounds. But that solo Rick does on Roundabout gives you a taste of how prolific he could be when needed.

"One sound for each keyboards" approach vs "One keyboard many sounds" favored by modern keyboardists reared in post 90s era where professional keyboards has many good patches already. Even in the mid 90s we had GM2 sounds on most MIDI keyboards, with at least 256 patches! On the other hand, Sir Wakeman was reared in the era where you'd play a piano to get piano sound, a Hammond to get organ sound, a Rhodes to get jazz piano sound, a Mellotron to get synth pad sound, a Moog to get synth lead sound, and so on..

Very ELP!

Excellent version, although I'd rather like the one with Ant Glynne making the guitar parts.

Who is the guitarrist? This song is always good, but if it is to have a guitar, man I prefer Ant Glynne playing this one.
