In the Round, Union, and last night's recital at the Tupelo Theater: YesSonatas, a pastiche of everything Yes, on the Steinway Grand. Rick Wakeman is more than the greatest keyboardist I have ever seen with my own eyes. He's a musical mystic, or a buddha, unique and self-contained. Rick Wakeman's music breaks my heart, but only in a good way. His final tour is forever etched in my memory.
Starship Trooper's Wurm solo with Adam Wakeman in keytar (like in 2000-2001), and the totally unexpected (for me) participation of a female choir. Rick does keytar at the end with Adam but wait... the choir girls and boy are in Rick's keyboards doing chords while Hayley Anderson (edit, it's not her) does bass pedals?? Now THAT's a jam!!! Caught me offguard
Did he ever pick up the RICKENBACKER BASS? The only guitar Chris Squire ever played? He left it to sit, and wilt in the spotlights. Never mind he's a lefty....
Considering the amount of boozing he did he is still a icon of a keyboard player and a fantastic sense of humour sadly when you see his friends like Jon lord, Keith Emerson,Richard wright who are bo longer with us Rick always pays homage to their legacy , keep tickling those ivories mate your a legend
What a sad sad night, for my Rickenbacker Bass. Sitting there, lonesome, lefty Red sunburst, having to endure this awesome sonic (sad) recreation of Steve Howe's crescendo... Perhaps that was Chris Squire's onstage Homage. Not Chris's tombstone, he was right handed. Rick Wakeman the MILKING IT TOUR!
He never did like banging in his ears or crashing cymbals,I told him use earplugs,the answer was how the would I hear what everyone is playing I replied if you can do it with your eyes closed then hearing as no bother 😂

He shouldn’t let the singer touch his gear though 😂

I spent an afternoon boozing with him, we had such a laugh. When he gave up drinking he became a grumpy old man.
Such an encore ❤
Loved that!
AWBH are all still,alive. One collaboration please
Wooo hoo!!! Marvelous Rick!!!
Love this!
Love Wakeman and have enjoyed every time I have seen him - but it's well past time to lose the cape. His family should have intervened years ago.
A magical night 🤘😊😎
RIck Wakeman is the only true Caped Crusader.
I saw them in Liverpool last night absolutely amazing thanks for the upload
yes me too -the encore was great!
I'll be seeing him tomorrow at Symphony Hall Birmingham.

Sad to see our rock icons running out of dosh
Oh my is that young adam or ollie on key-tar?

I've never seen a drummer behind the glasses. 😮 Why?
Really ? It happens a lot now.
Why is the drummer in an isolation wing?
I expect it’s so as Rick gets a full band mix into his monitors, rather than hearing the acoustic drum kit over riding that.
He never did like banging in his ears or crashing cymbals,I told him use earplugs,the answer was how the would I hear what everyone is playing I replied if you can do it with your eyes closed then hearing as no bother 😂
Dragged on and on and on and on....
Jesus wept is it an OAP day out ?
This is a shame
Painting by numbers Yes, zero presence.
