Following the release of the 2017 studio album Piano Portraits, which was very well received and went Top 10 in the UK for several weeks, Rick has been touring “Live Portraits” to sell out audiences across the UK. As a lasting record Rick has decided to film and record a very special performance of “Live Portraits” at Lincoln Cathedral on 7th March 2018.

This had me floating in a most peculiar way.
Did you tell your wife that you loved her?
@@killawhatt8620 She knows. (Not that I have one, but if I did, she would.)
You have done so much for us, in so many ways. Comedy included. Thanks Mr. Wakeman.
I could sit in a beautiful Gothic Cathedral and listen to Rick play Forever,so close to heavenly peace,with all the troubles if the world so remote and forgotten.
I vaguely recall singing at Mont. St. Michel in France at 4 years old. I enjoyed the size of it of it more than Versailles beauty.Living in paris 59-61 Dad was US ARMY. Great history there on MSM.Plus we saw Notre Dame and again singing and its massive size,was a lot to try to take in.Then back to NYC 61-66.Then a three yr. tour between Bolivia(67-68),then Panama C. Z. 68-70 and so on till 74. A Very grateful Army Brat.Haha.Peace. Romans 8 first 3 verses gives me a Peace amidst the trouble, and the whole chapter changed David Suchet ; (Hercule Poirot), forever when he read it , Amazing story.
He is a genuine superstar. Keyboard player beyond compere and a funny guy. I've seen him in concert a couple of times and he is exceptional.
Rick is a national treasure
Simply beautiful. There is so much going on in there. I'm sure David would be impressed.
I love it when Rick is at the grand piano, doing his own music or adapting some of his works with Yes, David Bowie, or Cat Stevens. I know he recorded several piano versions of this track, I must own at least two. Not this one, yet. It's special to record a piano in a cathedral, but with the right microphone setting it sounds really nice.
He also played for Elton John on his wonderful album 'Madman Across The Water'.
Oh ! Yes, Julio, I had forgotten this, I bought this album not so long ago... I neglected Elton John for my whole youth but maybe 12 years ago I bought Yellow Brick Road, listened to a few others among the older albums, thne bought Blue Moves, and more recently "Madman" and I noticed his name. The tracks he plays on wear Rick's unmistakable mark.
This and the Eleanor Rigby (which I believe was from the same performance) have a certain magic to them that just makes me feel so truly connected to that common musical thread that bonds, inspires, frustrates and tethers us as musicians. We need music but, I think that now, more than ever, music needs us.
Not playing off of sheet music. This man is a treasure.
Probably didn't need to since it was his own arrangement. (and he loves improvising). But sight reading off sheet music is harder. You can't look at your hands!!
@@Cchogan And keep in mind that Rick plays with his eyes closed.
Saw him play this in Bexhill on 3rd December. What a night of music that was - he told jokes too! Great musician, great man.
😊😊❤
@@charl1878 Thanks dude, starting to think I was the only person who appreciates good people and good music. 🇬🇧
........as I sit in a bar in Bali getting wankered. Trying to avoid my family.
There may never be another artist like Rick Wakeman, how tragic that would be for all humans.
Are we all singing along in our heads? I know I am.Thank you Rick
Sublime, beautiful arrangement of a great melody.
Rick WOW. DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ THESE BUT YOU ARE IN MY OPINION THE GREATEST MUSICIAN WHO HAS EVER LIVED ON EARTH. Been listening to you since I was a young teenager back in the very early 1970s. Never got to saw you till the yes Union tour. Was so disappointed that you were not at my first Yes concert relayer or drama or all the other ones to follow until Union. But when I saw you in Phoenix Arizona on August 30th 2018 at the celebrity theater I believe that's the date with Anderson and Rabin... The way you played synthesizer on roundabout I was immediately elevated and transformed into another universe happens every time I hear you play that riff. I'm a guitar player I love Steve Howe but I was so blessed by Trevor's attitude and so amazed at how well you could play with Trevor 3 years ago on the arw tour 2018. True I'm a guitar player not that much into listening to keyboards but you wow. Space oddity I remember when I found out that was you 15 or 20 years ago I was not surprised if it was not for you Rick David Bowie might not have made it as big as he did what you did on space oddity was mesmerizing no wonder Jon and Chris snatched you up... I love you Richard wakeman
One of the absolute best performance of an absolute Epic and immortal song ever created. Place is magical and piano sounds sooo good ! Chords progression at the end was just sweet as perfection but perfectly in line on what and why we used to love hear you play since always, Sir Wakeman.
Grazie Maestro🙏🏻 & Grazie David🙏🏻
Not sure if this was recorded at Lincoln Cathedral or not but I saw RW play there around three years ago and the event was being recorded for release as a live album. It was a fantastic evening of music played by the master. The sound was amazing in this setting and the audience were treated to a wonderful evening. Thank you for so many years of great performances.
Wow Rick plays so beautifully it made me cry.
Rick Wakeman THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Will be 64 April and have been captured by the sound since I first heard the notes when Fragile came out on vinyl. Thank You Sir Wakeman. An incredible influence in my life though the magic of Music.
Jeeeezz I was singing along so loudly in front of my computer!!! So Beautiful Rick!!!!
I saw him do this live in April 2023. Just an amazing show.
And his granddaughter's joke about heaven and stepping on ducks went over well. You had to be there to get this.
Beautiful and sublime. Oh to spend a day with Rick and listen to him reminisce, pure joy! Thank you Rick!
been a huge fan since the 1970s. saw him at Wolverhampton civic centre as a teenager . I'm a pensioner now and still love his music. Keep being magnificent Rick
Listening to Rick live is a unique and fantastic experience. I heard it and saw it twice in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I would like to see again who I admire
Big fan of Rick, Seen him first in 1974 Cobo Areana in Detroit. Long blond hair and silver cape flowing with the magical music that he created, Of course, With the group Yes
You are so much more than amazing. Your contribution to Yes is why I love it for all time. Thanks
Sublime! Words can't do this justice
Absolutely beautiful rendition of space oddity
Takes me back in time
🥰🙂
Rick Wakeman is beone words
He is so beautiful and fantastic
Such a ethereal talent
You catch the essence of the song so beautifully. Like a true labor of love, but without the labor!
I love this guy. was a fan since the early 70's. I met him once and he was the nicest guy. Funny and kind. Thankyou Rick and Keep turning it out.
Grande, Rick...🏆🏆
Rick: Thank you, thank you, thank you... oh, and did I say thank you? You have filled my life with so many beautiful songs, and have been a key inspiration for my own musical adventure - we may likely never meet this side of heaven, but please know how much I appreciate you!
I just got goosebumps❤️
Rick - What I loved so much about the originsal was the Mellotron - You have made it more beautiful and enchanting without.....I love this.
Beautiful, Mr Wakerman!
Applause from me too. Thanks Rick.
Beautiful. Hey Rick, thought of doing an album of David's music? 10 tracks. Recorded just piano great acoustics. Maybe 'live'. You have the connection as you knew and worked with David. Would be amazing tribute to David and your brilliance on the piano. X
What an impressive piece of Keyboard music. Thank You Rick
Gorgeous.
This is sheer enjoyment. Thank you, Rick & David. I feel like Snuffles the dog, after receiving his dog biscuit. 🎶💞🎹💓🎹💞🎶
Thank you Rick you've been an huge inspiration and have kept me engaged as a keyboard player since I was a lad. Your my, cool older brother from another mother!! Bless you!
You Can't Beat A Bit Of Rick. Amazing.. Rich Mixx...
Magical, what a beautiful variation of this Bowie song. Thank you Rick.
absolutely magnificent Mr. Wakeman! i've been a fan for over 50 years good sir!
A nice tribute for a good friend. Thanks Rick.
rick, by himself can replace the entire instrumentation and vocals and melody and make it so you miss nothing and hear and feel it all. this is what makes him the inspiration he is. if you can't feel this, i feel sorry for you. fantastic and rhapsodic ;) well done brother...
Beautiful and serene!
I've always loved your work and I was a fan of John Ogden's albums so I was delighted when you mentioned him once in an interview as an influence. I could hear it. You have put the class into rock and roll. Saw you live with yes a couple of times amazing how good you guys were live.
Lindo demais .....💜🙏😪
Absolutely beautiful Rick.
That was absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. Cheers from Winnipeg.
This will be the Classical Piano version for the next générations.
Great performance. Brings back memories of the Criminal Record and Bird From Alcatraz.
beautiful!
There's a way to start the day
The Well-tempered Melodytron.
This just plain swept me away.
(:
Goosebumps for 40 years! Thanks!
I love this song and besides Life on Mars, one of the most beautifull David Bowie works. Rick gives us this wonderfull piano version. Just loved it.
Rick is a leaving treasure !!!
STUNNING...... Thank you Mr Wakeman, and Sir David Bowie RIP:(
So sublimely beautiful.
What a beautiful human being! Wonderful performance.
Legend 🙌 the awesomely talented Rick Wakeman
MARAVILHA ❤
Rick and David, you`ve been an epic part of my life. From childhood to this present day !!
Wonderful arrangement and performance. I should have guessed it was you playing Mellotron on the record.
A pleasure to listen to.
Hi Rick, hope you read this.
I was at the concert at Cadogan Hall the other week, what a wonderful experience. Thanks for such a great evening.
Now, about the jokes . . . 😉
As I play piano, I am in admiration for your fantastic interpretation of this song. Excellent video for the sound, the picture and for the great pianist that I know since the concerts of Yes.
🎹 👍 🌻
Credit goes to Rick, as well, the Master of keyboards.
Absolutamente perfeito. Obrigada, Mr. Wakeman.
The Mellotron actually came out some seven years before Space Oddity, so it wasn't that new! Lovely bit of ivory hitting, Mr W
Was that the Moody Blues first? Seemed like Stevie Wonder used the Moog I think it was.
I am more 50 year of listen, your are my number 1 for me
Fantastic
I love this Piano Version better than the original
This is beautiful, and a great setting.
Rick is the wizard he appears to be. Brilliant!
Thank you.
Fantastic video
Brilliant. Nuff said.👍
thank you Maestro.
Show, bom de mais .
I'va always thought David Bowie had this melody from Nat King Cole version of Stardust. 🤔
Someone had to break the melodic link and the ''memory of Stardust'' in it.
Finally, Rick Wakeman gives it a new form, a new creation with his piano version wich is the new melodic reference to Bowie's song.
I'm not a Bowie fan, never was, but this is a great piano piece, now.
Thanks to Rick Wakeman.
The graft produced a new tree.
Love ya tons, Rick!
Magical.
Rock on Rick
so smoothly played, flawless...
Amazing 💗
Wow, just wow! Many thanks! ^^
"I got a call from Tony Visconti to come up and record some tracks. He said there was plenty of free lager included for the session, so off I went..."
Great job 👏 👍 long time fan!
Espectacular!!! Maestro de Maestros!!!
Yes and Rick might say PHIL KEAGGY from GLASS HARP fame (Live at Radio City Hall as a superb example. Each Masters in their own way.
Beautiful
Amazing!
WOW!
Light and beautiful
wonderful Rick
Que preciosidade !!!
Beautiful!
