Look, I love the guy, and he might be held by ROCK fans in the same esteem as Mozart and Chopin in the future, but in the classical world he's barely a blip on the radar, and if he's remembered for anything it will more likely be his cape over his musical chops. But that won't stop me from enjoying his music and lusting after some of his gear. : )
@@ProckGnosis No need to compartmentalize: classic, rock, who cares, both Mozart and Chopin would have been jamming this, and ole Ricky boy is (was) right up there. I'm with Burtrum and reckon JIscariot is one of the most stunning tracks penned.
@@ProckGnosis ~ Yep! You're correct about that. Too bad! l dont really like Chopin. Too sleepy. He is a _good_ composer! l like his stuff way better than Stravinsky ....but Zappa would disagree. Wakes is a dynamic _entertainer_ with talent up the ying yang, and a cool 70's medieval shtick! l LOVE the guy too! Plus he's FUNNY!
Douglas Andresen Keith was more of a 'butcher' and I loved it! But, to me, he relied a bit too much on classics. Wakeman 'produced' more of his original music. Love them both.
+Buster Jones This has more Brahms but if you put Handel, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Emerson in the same room, the only survivors would be (in alphabetical order) Beethoven, Mozart and Wakeman. The only one I've seen play four and the quick fifth keyboard simultaneously is Rick. But glad you, too appreciate him!
Rick todo mundo odia a JUDAS ISCARIOTE pero hay que recordar que el fue uno mas de sus seguidores y quizá ya se tenia preparado su camino, eres un supermusico talentoso desde YES, para mi con la valentía de realizar esta composición tan bella, humildemente un seguidor tuyo de MÉXICO, desde hace mas de 40 años, dios te de mas vida Rick.
My favourite symphonic piece from Rick's solo repertoire... I was blown away when I heard the lengthy original version on Criminal Record, many years ago, featuring a real church organ (the same as on Going For The One) . I do own some DVD's from Rick, but don't remember having this shortened version of "Judas Iscariot" anywhere.... I wonder where this comes from. I don't own everything, yet. it seems not very old.
This was, in the orginal version recorded in Vevey in the Church, one of the most fascinating pieces of music in my youth. Interesting video, thank you!👍
since i first heard mr wakeman live 1973 with YES back when i was 14 he has always been the master of the keyboards in my humble opinion... pure genius...
there is nothing to compare between Rick Wakeman and Pink Floyd. Rick is the Master of the keyboards-. Pink Floyd was an excellent rock, prog rock band of the XX th Century
Rick Wakeman еще в конце 70-х этой вещью порвал меня начисто!.. Особенно, когда эта тема органа на крещендо вошла в финал спектакля "НА ДНЕ" Горького!...В Харьковском ТЮЗЕ в постановке А. Беляцкого... Rick Wakeman completely tore me apart with this piece back in the late 70s!.. Especially when this organ theme at a crescendo was included in the finale of the play “AT THE BOTTOM” by Gorky!...In the Kharkov Youth Theater, staged by A. Belyatsky...
I don't know about Andrew Lloyd Weber. All I know is that it is a nice shortened version of what I consider as Rick's masterpiece, better than anything he had done before. I prefer the original version but this is a very good performance of what seems to be a forgotten gem in his repertoire, while it's a great achievement in my humble opinion. But the right title is "Judas Iscariot", not "scariot"... Thank you for uploading it anyway. :)
Amazing church organ sound! Although this is from Crimes of Passion, I remember the organ pieces on Six Wives was on the church organ at Cripplegate, London
Look before you leap ,, Wakeman wrote this during the Going For The One Sessions for Criminal Record with Yes in 1976 ... Weber got it from Rick if anything ... It's standard descending riff in the first place !!!!
es junto a jhon lord el tecladista de. deep peerpel unos de los mejores junto a vangelis kitaro jan michel jarre. maestro. rick wikmann tiene la escuela de juan sebastian bach el mejor tecladista de la historia junto al aleman beste huden
With you on the McCartney thing...I just don't get it! His performance at the Olympics was frankly embarrassing. Wakeman is a true virtuoso, this is beautiful to hear and to watch.
If you listen about a minute in you can clearly hear the main 'Riff' used in Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Phantom of the Opera'. Wakeman could legitimately sue Webber for plaguerism since Rick's piece was written several years earlier :-o
Los Floyd nunca tuvieron a Rick. A esos merecían a Vangelis ... Los planetas se alinearon en 1977, 78 y 79. y salieron Going y Torma. Basta para Mí!!!! Aguante Rick y la mini de Corina Matta Jhosias
Obviously, webber has never written something himself. Listen to the melody after the each verse in Pink Floyd's echoes, and you will see its exactly the same as phantom of the opera main melody as well.
@wizerulz It's funny you mention that. Turns out this guy accused him of "borrowing" the "Riff." I don't know if he actually sued or not. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd said the same thing about "Echoes." Lots of people accused Webber of plagarism.
Damn, I hope Wakey isn't reading all this "he's the best keyboardist ever" nonsense. He would die laughing, then proceed to name at least a hundred greater keyboardists in history off the top of his head. It's like Rush fans saying Neil Peart is the GOAT as a drummer. They obviously haven't heard of the many greater drummers who played. I'm a big Wakeman fan, but too many of you confuse "greatest" with "my favorite."
Besides, if that was the case, he should also be suing AniMusic because their song Harmonic Voltage has a few pieces that sound like parts of Judas Scariot, with the same sound effects and everything...but that would be ridiculous, right? I think so.
Agree with matemagyar, before, Webber, before Wakeman, that was Pink Flyod Echoes, quoting Rogers Waters on the stealing riff: "Andrew Lloyd fucking Webber" for not paying nothing for them.
Andrew Lloyd Webber does not need to apologize for anything! I believe the limit is 9 different consecutive notes before it can be considered stolen. It's called "influence" people. Chill out! The man has numerous keyboards, you think he can afford to let it slide, already. Besides, music isn't meant to be a competition, it's supposed to bring EVERYONE together. Wakerman still has intense talent, regardless. I can only dream of performing on that many keyboards for one song. Brilliant!
Please why does everyone have to go on about the fairy tale so much?! You like it fine, but please, keep it to yourself. I too have an imaginary friend but he is the ghost of Bonzo's tech....lol.
There are only short segments in both works that resemble each other, and both segments are rather simple chromatic scale runs. Using scales is not and cannot be plagiarism, and even if it was then that would make Wakeman a plagiarizer too since he didn't write the chromatic scale. A musician of his caliber obviously knows this, and that is why he never sued.
Three points. One, you cannot steal a scale. Two, even if you could steal a scale, Pink Floyd did not write the chromatic scale. Three, even if playing a scale was considered stealing, Pink Floyd would be just as guilty as Webber.
music is always borrowed and repeated and used. I can count how many songs I hear that I'm like "Wait that sounds like (enter song name here)". But its when someone because as successful as ALW that people start to have a problem with it
A bit harsh! ALW has contributed much to theatre and music - but a genius such as Rick rarely comes along - from grass roots to orchestras - and those in the know can reap the benefit - it pains me that mediocre talents such as 'sir' Paul McCartney get knighted - but that's only my opinion :)
In 100 years Rick Wakeman will be held in the same esteem as Mozart and Chopin. One of the greatest musicians of my generation.

My question is...who copied Pink Floyd? Phantom of the Opera or Rick Wakeman?

Hardly. He just uses the same harmonic patterns that fall under the hand easily. He is no Mozart or Beethoven
It's amazing how wholesome his sound is. Along with Tony Banks and Keith Emerson the absolute best of our contemporaries!
Nobody on the planet has ever had such mastery of a keyboard as Wakeman. Save for Bach and Mozart.
Douglas Andresen Keith was more of a 'butcher' and I loved it! But, to me, he relied a bit too much on classics. Wakeman 'produced' more of his original music. Love them both.
Do you forget Master Beethoven
+Buster Jones This has more Brahms but if you put Handel, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Emerson in the same room, the only survivors would be (in alphabetical order) Beethoven, Mozart and Wakeman.

What about Geoff Downes?
y'all forgot about jon lord.
wakeman+lord = highest priests of keys.
that brain and those hands worth milions...Long Live Rick Wakeman.
Rick todo mundo odia a JUDAS ISCARIOTE pero hay que recordar que el fue uno mas de sus seguidores y quizá ya se tenia preparado su camino, eres un supermusico talentoso desde YES, para mi con la valentía de realizar esta composición tan bella, humildemente un seguidor tuyo de MÉXICO, desde hace mas de 40 años, dios te de mas vida Rick.
eu sendo um tecladista adimiro muito quem toca esse maravilhoso instrumento..... musica é minha vida......

Não há como não concordar. Rick Wakeman é o Mozart dos tempos atuais.
Wow, this is fantastic music!! I have endless admiration for your musicality!!
GRAN MAESTRO!!!!!! Gracias por esta música maravillosa que nos has regalado...
Great, to see the composer himself! It's a masterpiece and I love it!
This was, in the orginal version recorded in Vevey in the Church, one of the most fascinating pieces of music in my youth. Interesting video, thank you!👍
Gracias rick por todo lo que me diste en mi adolescecia! por eso disfruto hoy de la musica clasica.

Um, 20 century... :)

Happy birthday:)
If you listen about a minute in you can clearly hear the main 'Riff' used in Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Phantom of the Opera'. Wakeman could legitimately sue Webber for plaguerism since Rick's piece was written several years earlier :-o
But they were also friends. And take note that lyricist Tim Rice worked with both of them.
GEM-lo Mejor que sono con Wakeman,
Tal vez la reencarnación de bach, maestro, tecladista como el no hay actualmente,
Tecladista en los siglos xx XXI.no hay otro el es bach y mozart.
hello, Rick
Juan sebastian bach, es el. Maestro.
Phantom of the opera
1:31 almost phantom of the opera! hahah

Comentar RW, pra que? Gênio
AH ! si j'avais 8 mains !!! Rick Wakeman :D
Actually it's from Pink Floyd Echoes 1971

The Bible on black and white
Comentar RW para que? precisa? Gênio
o galego é sinistro :)
ALW is why I'm here xD
yasss!
Besides, if that was the case, he should also be suing AniMusic because their song Harmonic Voltage has a few pieces that sound like parts of Judas Scariot, with the same sound effects and everything...but that would be ridiculous, right? I think so.
Correct! Bach would have used it long before Rick or Floyd :)
Agree with matemagyar, before, Webber, before Wakeman, that was Pink Flyod Echoes, quoting Rogers Waters on the stealing riff: "Andrew Lloyd fucking Webber" for not paying nothing for them.
Intro like a game of thrones
Where and when was it? Which concert? thx
+Carlo Celuque I wonder....
Andrew Lloyd Webber does not need to apologize for anything! I believe the limit is 9 different consecutive notes before it can be considered stolen. It's called "influence" people. Chill out! The man has numerous keyboards, you think he can afford to let it slide, already. Besides, music isn't meant to be a competition, it's supposed to bring EVERYONE together.
Wakerman still has intense talent, regardless. I can only dream of performing on that many keyboards for one song. Brilliant!
Still, some acknowledgement from Webber would be nice, right.
Love Rick! Should have tried to keep the long hair though!
Save Patrick Moraz.
+artois54 I'm sorry the comment, but I think technically Rick is light years ahead ....
Seriously 1976??? On this video he looks at least 45-50yo! When is this show dated?
We live in a privileged generation of technology and information, which is why it is written that Jesus Christ will return very soon.
+Gas Row Perhaps, He just came and we didn´t recognize Him.
Every eye will see him, and this time he WILL be recognized. :)
And when he does I will knock him out.
Bless you entity known as Rick.
everything written is manmade and so this makes it a story. Nothing more, just a story. Made up.
Please why does everyone have to go on about the fairy tale so much?! You like it fine, but please, keep it to yourself. I too have an imaginary friend but he is the ghost of Bonzo's tech....lol.
Hát hogyne ;)

Andrew Lloyd-Webber plagiarised Rick Wakeman, not the other way around.
Esse Judas ai não tem necessidade de ser malhado pelo povo...
MHm....except you forget Pink Floyd Echoes uses that same riff made EVEN BEFORE this....so technically Pink Floyd would win.
Three points. One, you cannot steal a scale. Two, even if you could steal a scale, Pink Floyd did not write the chromatic scale. Three, even if playing a scale was considered stealing, Pink Floyd would be just as guilty as Webber.
webber? now that u mention it it sounds a bit like phantom of the opera!
MITICO
music is always borrowed and repeated and used. I can count how many songs I hear that I'm like "Wait that sounds like (enter song name here)".
But its when someone because as successful as ALW that people start to have a problem with it
Andrew Lloyd Webber did not steal anything from Rick Wakeman, as Wakeman did not write the chromatic scale.
he already did, n' lost, but who cares Phantom of the Opera is beautiful just as this is!
He did, and he lost.
no tiene padrote paapaa
n' If the words you wrote are not yours originally, does that make you a plagerist? Get the Drift?
A bit harsh! ALW has contributed much to theatre and music - but a genius such as Rick rarely comes along - from grass roots to orchestras - and those in the know can reap the benefit - it pains me that mediocre talents such as 'sir' Paul McCartney get knighted - but that's only my opinion :)
De azért a szám brutál, ezt azért beismerheted, nem ? RW is the king of SYNTH, nem ?
don't piss off the muses! Is it simply over money or fame?
escucha , no hables no escribas bola y soña !!!!
Epic!
