Rick Wakeman - The last Battle ( Wembley 1975 )

[VisioAuri]

The days of the knights will live on.

[bubblabu]

Very impressive

[ConstanceComet]

This is some of the greatest comedy I've ever seen!

[ciniminis888]

a tear came out of my eyes

[jmellopinheiro]

Fantastic piece of history. Where did you get the footage?

[jsixtvf]

GENIUS

[allendriggers55]

yeaaaaa rick

[Hypnopomp]

@chh5555:

Yes, Wakeman learned by example from Bowie not to play crappy, cliche rock 'n' roll music, and he didn't (unlike Bowie, who should have learned from Wakeman).

Now, troll, please crawl back under your bridge.

[chh5555]

God save us from Dungeons and Dragons Hell... This is so appallingly stupid....from a man who associated with David Bowie.... did nothing rub off?

[NarcissistsDie]

This is bloody terrible.

[chh5555]

@NarcissistsDie Replete with ice skating poofs armed with swords!!! I swear I am watching an undiscovered clip from Spinal Tap!!!

[pythribeiro]

[dc000]

There hasn't been another composer and keyboard player in progressive rock as Rick Wakeman... HE SIMPLY ROCKS!!! ;-))

[largefuck258]

4:38 to 7:25, fav part!

[janespears1962]

ok-if this was from an 'on ice' show-no fair-I wanna see the skaters!

[ChrisEchoes]

@janespears1962 have you actually watched this video???

[beaverliqour]

This is a prog rock orgasm if i ever saw one. I love Rick Wakeman but I think he even admits that this was over the top.

[armenio7x]

Excelente, nuestro viejo amigo Rick, es inigualable, oigámoslo y cierren la boca.

[martinredvfr]

Thanks for this. I was there at Wembley in 1975 - my first ever gig and what a way to start. Completely over the top and fantastic :) Great stuff.

[SephynnXx]

Thank you very much for the info, I appreciate it alot...

[ROULETTEREGIME]

"SAMPLED BY THE ROULETTE REGIME"

[SephynnXx]

Is this music just a live show or does it come from an album at all???? Is it released on cd?

[myleftnutts]

This is on DVD now,and has been on "CD" for years.this is from the mid "70's" "75" as i recall. there is also a "DVD and CD" for "Journey to the Center of the Earth" "74".

[unahmorgan]

The album is called "Myths and Legends of King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table", it's an absolutely awesome record!!!

[SephynnXx]

Thank you very much for the insight. I will get ahold of this asap....

[unahmorgan]

It's from 1975 ;) I really hope you'll like it, it's a major fave of mine :)

[PrZemek44]

First couple of minutes sound to me a bit like taken from Jesus Christ Superstar... LOL. This music is great, I don't care if it's 'pompous'! Many, narrow minded, critics use all this 'skating extravaganza' to dismiss progrock. Unfort. Wakeman himself often puts it down...

[prophecychild11]

most of this song is not the last battle it is sir galahad. I can't believe they didn't have the speech about what happened to king arthur, I love that speech.

[Farweasel]

Actually it hits the lyrics for last battle at about 2:50 and all the lyrics from that point are Last Battle.

I can't remember the original well enough to be sure there's not other strands mixed into the music, but for sure Last Battle always did do a sort of quick bringing togther/recap of most of the themes of the rest of the Myths & Legends tracks.

[gmh67]

mine is a BIG MAC gherkins no sauce peace to all

LOVE MARY xxx

[gmh67]

post something better pussies LOL 4 ever

[gabrielitoul]

[eatingutube]

Absolutely amazing.

[Aspartamebraintumor]

Rick Wakeman is a genious

[countvonjustin]

Wow, the most bloated tour in all of history.

[dbfan]

Thanks SO much for posting this! I was raised on this album, I spent all my youth listening to it and reading along in the booket with the LP. and now I can see/hear it live....[2]

[mi7gu7]

This album is so lovely. It was made years before i was born. My mother had the LP and one day i found it while sticking my curious nose in some old box. I loved it. Well, actually the first record i found was ¨Journey to the Centre of the earth¨. This kind of thing helped me develope a deeper relationship with music. Besides, i´m from Venezuela, probably not very likely to know Rick Wakeman at my age, this was a great coincidence. By the way, thanks for posting the video.

[namidameponchi]

this is my fast albam which I bought. it was when I was 13or14yo.and I saw this show on the TV.I was so exited at that time.and my mother also loves this albam .

she is almost 70yo.from Japan.

[Farweasel]

Don't give up hope if you're planning on visiting the UK. He did a tour about 2, 3 years ago ... Promoting his then new Album and swearing he needed the money to sustain all his alimony payments - Reckon old Rick's had as many wives as Henry 8th ;-)

Bit thicker round the gut, still excellent.

[KoreanVisualKei]

Im not from Venezuela but the same thing had with my mother she had those Lp's 2 hehehehe

[greghell]

Thanks SO much for posting this! I was raised on this album, I spent all my youth listening to it and reading along in the booket with the LP. and now I can see/hear it live....ON ICE!

[bertwerty]

Hey, it was the 70's. Even Wakeman's idea'rs seem good when you're as coked-up as the producers obviously were.

[MarxNutz]

Okay knights on ice skates is truly weird! Great video though!

[karnevilj]

King Arthur On Ice....I can die happy now :)

[danmist]

Thanks for posting this. I've been waiting a long time to see it. Was it ever released in the cinema? Having seen it I'm not surprised it's not on video as some of the timing's quite out and it seems like either Rick's completely drunk or his monitors aren't very good or both! The Australian performance is definitely tighter.

[danmist]

What happened to Merlin the Magician?

[Patrickillian]

The video that I has acquired does not have the performance of "Merlin The magician"

Idont know if in this day he performed it ... because in the first part of the show he performed some parts of "Journey ..." , "Six Wives" and "Lizstomania"

;)
