I saw him decades ago in Toronto for the Six Wives of Henry VIII tour. He drank beer, told jokes and stories between the songs. Quite the entertaining evening!

When I was stationed in the Air force on the remote Island of Shemya out near the end of the Aleutian Islands, we would turn out the lights in our dorm room and put on Journey to the Center of the Earth. It helped us survive a year’s assignment on this lonely, cold, windy rock in the middle of a the freezing Bering sea. It would take us to a whole different world inside the earth!

Nothing like this could ever be played live on those early synths. They not only played one note at a time (monophonic not polyphonic) but could only be programmed to make one sound, and needed time-consuming rewiring with patch cords before another sound could be produced. People like Wakeman and Keith Emerson were not just musical virtuosos, they were part engineer too!

The first Moog was invented in Trumansburg, NY, USA. There is a historic placard in front of the building today.

My first ever concert in California, must have been 1974, was Wakeman at the Hollywood Bowl with the whole orchestra and choir on stage. Did the album live with dinosaur effects and all. It was something I will never forget. I must have been 13 or 14 years old. My 18 year old sister took me.

I was extremely fortunate to have seen this musical Genius on his first tour as he performed in The Arie Crown Theatre in McCormick Place , Chicago ! I was enthralled then & remember my guests being totally overwhelmed by his incredible original performance & wardrobe that befit the young Master ! I still relish the thought of having the honor of a Rick Wakeman performance ...... Appears he does not age or have any decline in his age ! I pray Rick remins in good form & his health remains great. He really doesn't look like he's aged a year .......... Nick , NavyBlueSmoke , LST-1195

At the interval he came out and said that he had a new album and was going to play it for us after the break. 6 Wives of Henry the 8th. What an amazing show! Will live with me forever. Thanks Rick!

Even without backup accompaniment by orchestra and choir, this version of Wakeman's incredible, musical retelling of Jules Verne's classic is a stunning masterpiece! His mastery of numerous keyboards is unmatched by anyone I have ever seen or heard! It is like hearing the show for the first time! The vocalist handles the story well enough, over-emphasizing at points with notes not heard by the original singers in the album of 1974, but the entire performance, without the narrative script, is impressive and memorable! Thanks for this reimagined, stirring, visual upload on one of my favorite albums!

I remember seeing the original production on PBS when I was a kid. How I wish I could get a video of that! Not just the size and pageantry, but watching Wakeman in his "fortress of keyboards". He would be playing one front of him, and a totally different part on a keyboard directly behind him, sight unseen 🤯

Wakeman from the days when rock/pop stars were living legends with talent to be truly admired and amazed by, as opposed to just glorified Karaoke singers
