I know he will not read this, but thanks for loving and respecting my country when no other artist would come here. Thanks for 3 amazing performances that I saw, and for the ones fans before me saw. Love from Brazil
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!
If correct spelling and grammar was a requirement on Shemya, he woodn't have being ther wering an aire force uniform. What have you done for our country. Scilly count!
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'm the same age as your sister, and we had tickets to see him with YES right around that year or so . Well my friends that I was going with, dropped the acid we were gonna do at the concert the day before, and ended up in the hospital and nobody got to go. lol I'm lucky I didn't do any. lol Went to CAL JAM 2 a few years later.
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
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!
I saw him perform the whole album in Adelaide in 75? (I think), complete with gigantic inflatable dinosaur! 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!
There's Alicia Keys, and then there's the piano rental shop "I'll Lease You Keys". Who has the money for that Rick rig? Wow the bloke makes Jean-Michel Jarre look laid-back.
Eu vivi isso aos meus 15 anos de idade, eu tinha todos disco dele (LP's). Inesquecível. Esse ano completo 64 anos. Hoje curto David Gueta, Alok e toda música eletrônica 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ok so, i listened to the album journey to the center of the earth with my dad when i was about 7/8 years old, and hearing it again after many years has comforted my heart. I listened to this wonder on long car rides with him, and we tried to sing, both vocals and instruments with him lol anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the existence of this gem that helped me a lot on the path of life.
Rick Wakeman, o que esse fantástico músico fez em favor do pop mundial naquela época era pura obra de arte, aranjos fenomenais em sua ilha de teclados, a mistura da imponência do erudito com a irreverência do rock and roll. MAGO!!!
Uff..exelente, RICK WAKEMAN, uno de los grandes tecladistas del Rock Progresivo, Viaje Al Centro De La Tierra, y en vivo un clásico de principio de década de los 70's...gracias por compartir, un grán abrazo desde mí Chile Progresivo. ..🎼🎸✌
Saw this show in Dallas at least 40 yrs ago. Was remarkable back then. I had the 8-track so when saw the show was coming to us, I and a friend hit it. Little did I know it was just the beginning of a fateful night! But what a show. I got excellent seats!
Amo e faz parte da minha história, eu era uma criança e aprendi a apreciar com minha irmã oito anos mais velha que eu. Pra mim é o rock progressivo melhor do mundo, minha paixão eterna ❤
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 🤯
I was a teenager when this came out.. not sure how I found it ..perhaps by word of mouth or because my friend had a YES album...but I listened to this so many times in my room.. (I always liked the Journey to the Center of the Earth movie from the 50s. A story of adventure. I memorized this album..Loved it .. takes me back to the Center of my youth
Hi warren from Australia I love the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth. I remember seeing Rick do this live in the 70s but this video is the best thing I've ever seen on UA-cam. Absolutely fantastic thank you so much
WHERE does Rick find his drummers? They're all so GOOD! That kid he had in Cuba was AMAZING! ....well ALL _those_ musicians were insane! As the show was!
Estos monstruos....verdaderos maestros de la música deleitaron a mi generación, una generación con bastante más curiosidad intelectual y artística que lo que hay ahora (no hay mas que buscar en la radio -por lo menos española - cualquier emisora musical para ver el deterioro y retroceso que ha venido acaeciendo de aquellos maravillosos 70 y 80 hasta la fecha.
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'm guessing it was '77. Ricky and I had front row seats at Klienhands in Buffalo, NY. Couldn't see Rick, but the sound through the sound system went through us. Rick remarked about his guitarist having Hepatitis.
Só comparado aos grandes gênios como bach,Mozart, e outros...essa versão mais moderna ficou ótima, mas a original dos ano70,com orquestra sinfônica e coral...meu amigo..nunca haverá um tecladista atemporal como ele,,único viva nossa juventude anos 60 e 70...
I don't remember if I had the album or where I was when I first heard it but it transported me in my mind and I could SEE everything described. Thank you for taking me on the voyage!
A great example of how Rick Wakeman knows how to illuminate his masterpieces with ever new light! Definitively, he is the most creative and versatile keyboard player of all! :-) Absolute magic at min. 6:30. That keyboard sound at min. 15:25! And that improvisation at min. 15:45! Prog on! :-)
I think the Wakeman era of Yes was some of the best prog rock ever made .... I am partial to the Wakeman trilogy of Journey , King Arthur & the Six Wives the most I think
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
I know he will not read this, but thanks for loving and respecting my country when no other artist would come here. Thanks for 3 amazing performances that I saw, and for the ones fans before me saw.

Eu fui ve-lo no Rio de Janeiro . Anos 70 . Também vi o Jackson five e o genesis .
Eu vi no Maracanãzinho ❤😅
O jackson five foi no Maracanãzinho
Eu o vi no estádio da Portuguesa em São Paulo. Não tínhamos David Hemmkngs, mas tínhamos Paulo Autran.
Ganhamos de presente Pedra da Gávea - ua-cam.com/video/SfewkKi5BwU/v-deo.html
Been a fan for nearly 50 years,still pkay his music e veryday seen him live several times the music never ages but we do ....
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!
The best. Mozart, Bach, Bethoven, Rick Wakeman genius 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I'm brazilian
e também Vangelis
Holy Mother of God, there will NEVER be another Rick Wakeman.
Amen.

If correct spelling and grammar was a requirement on Shemya, he woodn't have being ther wering an aire force uniform. What have you done for our country. Scilly count!
@@chocoriffic Looks like correct spelling and grammar aren't your requirement either... 😜
My buddy was stationed at Shemya AFB. Said it was the coldest place he’d ever been in his life.
It's not the end of the earth... but you can see it from there.
Had the great pleasure of seeing this genius live in Northampton and he was as good live as any recording
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 there!
@@yrh1gs Amazing show it was for the time. Today they would have dinosaurs on a screen via CGI.
Good old days.
Lucky dude !
Simply beautiful. Good times in that the music were wonderful.
I am always in AWE!!! The best keyboarder of All TIME!!! Anything he does is Amazing and will live on Forever!!!
Yes I agree he is in his own leauge..peace

I saw him with the Houston Philharmonic orchestra and it was awesome! He is a masterful keyboardist and songwriter.Ill never forget it.😊
He bought his first MOOG from a guy who sold it because “it only played one key at a time “ and Rick played millions of notes onward . Thank you Sir.
That guy is none other than Jack Wild, who you might know as the Artful Dodger in Oliver!
@@MrTheBaron Also from HR Pufnstuf Sadly now deceased. Died penniless in a squat. I have such fond memories of the guy.
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.
These guys are what u call musicians
Still my favorite my kids are in their forties and fifties and they love this music this is their favorite album it sure does have staying power
I knew Rick when he recorded THIS album for the 1st time, in 1974. I was 15 years old and became a fan of his amazing work.
Well to be fair, it was pretentious drivel. The narration was great. This is much nicer.
I saw that show in Madison Square garden. One hell of a great time
So did I.
I think your mistaking ambitious with pretentious. It is a common mistake.
Me too. 1974= 15
this was a concert that i wouldnt of missed it even if i was dead..Always and forever a fan
I haven't listened to this since the mid 89s...still great stuff thank you Rick and friends
Ouvi esse som do Rick Wakeman nos anos 80 e não me canso de ouvir. Maravilhosa versão. Parabéns. Obrigado.
Sensacional demais mano
Greatest keyboard player ever musical genius
Are you related to Jon Anderson of YES ? I remember when Rick was keys in YES
Nostalgia pura, aos meus 13 anos ouvi esse gênio, viciei na música dele.
assisti esse show com orquestra, coral e narração de Pauo Autran, no ginásio da Portuguesa, na Marginal, 16 anos de idade PQP
I saw him perform the whole album in Adelaide in 75? (I think), complete with gigantic inflatable dinosaur! 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!
Em plena quarentena (2021) curtindo o som do maestro Rick. RIO DE JANEIRO - BRASIL .👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
na época eu tive o vinil ou uma k-7, não lembro, mas tive...rs
The MASTER amazes once again! Rick thank you for years & years of music, I’ve seen you perform 3 times, all in the early 70’s...so far,
Amazing! One of the greatest musicians of all time
Genius! And Keith Emerson is wonderful singing! Thank you, Keith Emerson for singing ! RIP, Brother.
Ashley Holt .
Sempre muito bom ouvir Ricky Wakeman.
Rick Wakeman THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
There's Alicia Keys, and then there's the piano rental shop "I'll Lease You Keys". Who has the money for that Rick rig? Wow the bloke makes Jean-Michel Jarre look laid-back.

OUÇO ATE HOJE . QUEM VIVEU ESTE TEMPO JAMAIS VAI SE ESQUEÇER. ABRAÇOS. E VIVA A VIDA E MEMORIAS OTIMAS.
Eu também escuto até hoje. Nasci em 85 e conheci na infância e adolescência
Tenho 61 anos, ouvia deitada na garagem da casa de amigos, apagavam as luzes😅e tomávamos cuba libre😅😅😅😅 muito bom
EM TEMPO E COM RESPEITO ESTOU COM 59 ANOS MAS QUANDO OUÇO RICK WAKEMAN ME TRAZ MEMORIAS INENARRAVEIS SO QUEM VIVEU ESTE TEMPO. SABE. @@katiarosana9144
Ainda garoto conheci esse disco e ele nunca mais saiu da minha cabeça. É lindo!
É camarada eu já cheguei aos (70)ainda curto muito essa música,;
Rick Wakeman, o que esse fantástico músico fez em favor do pop mundial naquela época era pura obra de arte, aranjos fenomenais em sua ilha de teclados, a mistura da imponência do erudito com a irreverência do rock and roll. MAGO!!!
Mas, aqui no Brasil temos Frank Aguiar, o cãozinho dos teclados.😂
Saw him perform this at DAR Constitution Hall, DC in 1974, it was fantastic.
O melhor tecladista de todos os tempos 👏👏👏

I used to have the original LP of this album with Wakeman wearing a bright white robe.
Saw this show in Dallas at least 40 yrs ago. Was remarkable back then. I had the 8-track so when saw the show was coming to us, I and a friend hit it. Little did I know it was just the beginning of a fateful night! But what a show. I got excellent seats!

tem partes lindíssimas, *masterfully sung!!* a great piece of MUSIC, thanks Rick Wakeman
Nothing beats RW's musicianship, it's like kind of impossible...
Rick very much inspired my keyboard journey! Never had a moog, but have a Kawai digital piano, I love! Thank you Rick and band Yess !
It's just fantastic
Rick is just so talented
I was a teenager when this came out.. not sure how I found it ..perhaps by word of mouth or because my friend had a YES album...but I listened to this so many times in my room.. (I always liked the Journey to the Center of the Earth movie from the 50s. A story of adventure. I memorized this album..Loved it .. takes me back to the Center of my youth
Rick era do YES.
Hi warren from Australia I love the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth. I remember seeing Rick do this live in the 70s but this video is the best thing I've ever seen on UA-cam. Absolutely fantastic thank you so much
I saw him perform this album live in Dallas at SMU, oh the 70’s. Also excerpts from 6 Wives and other albums. Had an inflatable dragon.
WOOOOAH, wakeman is a genius
Thank you Rick, It was wonderful... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤🔥An all time favourite classic rock masterpiece ♥️
Wonderful to see you in full flight. Tripped over this gem saved.
Einfach nur eine Spitzenleistung. War für mich das beste Album von Rick.
i had the live album and played it many times which made me a fan of his
It was great and I liked it back then and it's still great. Well done.
👑
RICK WAKEMAN
It was my adolescence. Enchanting music capable of enchanting you. Then it has stalled on its sound. But the quality did it.
Só vim conhecer essa música em 1980, marcou minha adolescência. Até hoje me arrepio quando ouço
A combinação do teclado de Wakeman com a voz do Ashley Holt é fantástica.
Conheci nos 70 ❤
WHERE does Rick find his drummers? They're all so GOOD! That kid he had in Cuba was AMAZING! ....well ALL _those_ musicians were insane! As the show was!

NEKORA celta totalmente de acuerdo
OK.....Gracias
OK.....Gracias
gracias
I couldn't agree more !
We saw this in San Francisco, it was awesome!
I grew up with this amazing sound!!
I saw this in person in Memphis Tenn first time out - never forgot it
The best keyboardist ever
Piano classico
What about Jordan Rudess?
...beside Jon Lord, his good friend
Still amazing.. I saw the original back in the day tripping my eyes out on acid.... that show was incredible.
He's the best. I saw the live version on TV in 1974.
1975 in Toronto, Maple leaf gardens. There were not more than 1,000 of us there. Thanks Scott for this one.
I remeber this i dearly loved it bak when love it now
This is why he's my favorite keyboardist..
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!

Thanks for this reimagined, stirring, visual upload on one of my favorite albums!
I think it's Ashley Holt, who was one of the 2 original singers, on this live version. His voice got better with age, I'd say...
I'm guessing it was '77. Ricky and I had front row seats at Klienhands in Buffalo, NY. Couldn't see Rick, but the sound through the sound system went through us. Rick remarked about his guitarist having Hepatitis.
Used to listen to this and close my eyes and think of the original movie and it just seemed to fit perfectly in my mind. 😑🙂
The man is a king among men and a true class act .
Agreed!
@@scivalesmusicbooks1977erafelis e não sabia
Exceptional, Rick & Co.! I’ve seen him in Buenos Aires so many years ago!! A genius … playing so many different pianos! Love him!! 💕
A masterpiece to be appreciated for centuries to come! I mean it!
Arne Saknussemm would be proud.
Magnífico Rick Wakeman, ¡ya no se hace música de esta calidad...!
A essência do teclado ...Number One Forever . Revolucionou o som e música , simplesmente ...!!!
This song is amazing,I come back to the seventies!
A true ARTIST 🎉
College, 1986, wore a groove into this double album. Nice, thank you for the upload.
Great to see and hear this very special piece of music soon in London again.
Rick's Talent continues unabated. This may not have been as elaborate as the original but again Rick makes it awesome.
Katherine Nicole DeLaO then again, he play this one on a synthesizer
Agreed! ✨🎹🎶
I think for what was on stage 4 musicians vs over 340 it was pretty elaborate but yeah the original was really something
Que excelente trabalho de Rock Wakeman, o mago dos teclados, este é insuperável, melhor tecladista de todos os tempos!
Rick Wakeman é um ícone da música clássica mundial! Pra mim não existe no mundo tecladista igual a ele.
concordo ! música linda!!!!
Só comparado aos grandes gênios como bach,Mozart, e outros...essa versão mais moderna ficou ótima, mas a original dos ano70,com orquestra sinfônica e coral...meu amigo..nunca haverá um tecladista atemporal como ele,,único viva nossa juventude anos 60 e 70...
I don't remember if I had the album or where I was when I first heard it but it transported me in my mind and I could SEE everything described.
Thank you for taking me on the voyage!
Yes!какое-то время был участником этой группы...
Não me canso de ouvi lo diariamente.... E quase meu som p dormir......
Eu tambem. Sou fã do Rick desde pequena.
A great example of how Rick Wakeman knows how to illuminate his masterpieces with ever new light! Definitively, he is the most creative and versatile keyboard player of all! :-) Absolute magic at min. 6:30. That keyboard sound at min. 15:25! And that improvisation at min. 15:45! Prog on! :-)
I actually don't like the clav sound on the T1, but the brass sounds on the V50 and VFX are excellent.
Wow, first time I've heard this version.....very powerful...Wakeman is a genius...and the singer (???), what a great voice!
Is that Alan Parsons?
The singer is Ashley Holt, who sang almost all of Wakeman's songs from the '70s through to his 2010 tour.
Explêndido, maravilhoso!
Assisti o show em São Paulo em 1975, foi inesquecível, espetacular obra prima do rock progressivo.
I think the Wakeman era of Yes was some of the best prog rock ever made .... I am partial to the Wakeman trilogy of Journey , King Arthur & the Six Wives the most I think
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
When I first listened to this the story was spoken not sung.
It still brings back memories.
The recording has both, and the narration was done by the late David Hammings. This is not the whole ‘Journey’.
What a legend, what a genius
Big fan here!!!
Saw him live with the English rock ansamble at maple leaf gardens Toronto. Excellent ❤
Música inolvidable que relajaba el espiritu
