Rick Wakeman Solo

[OceanSentinel]

I bet that Marvel comics was looking at this when they made Flash.

[Cradley51]

i wonder how his parents feel knowing that they have raised the best keyboardist alive 

[drjohnny89]

tickle my testicles anyday

[alpino157]

where is your mozart now?

[MrDeylen07]

@alpino157 Chilling with Jordan Rudess ;)

[CastelThe1st]

Drop? PianoStep

[fulegutten]

he once fingered a girl, she is now dead.

[westpur]

He tried to do this on two pianos and they burst into flames.

[funkcongress]

Jordan who? jk :P

[MuffinDude1000]

Could you imagine him finger banging



[Cradley51]

people might not know but richard is considered the second best keyboardist of all time

and he was/ is a keyboardist for the second best band ever YES

[Moulie415]

I heard he fingered a girl once.....she died.

[joaovitormateus]

Chuck Norris is lose.

[youreatinghair]

Chuck Norris can't even play the Pkas98hfo;l.r vglr'osgewanyrh'.laOcdoi

[Manahyde]

keyboard beast

[blasterman9]

god I play keys and I could only dream of something like this.

[TheBadjano]

Já vivi cinquenta anos e o melhor que ouvi the best off

[sreynoldsbros2]

i dare someone in the world to learn this by ear

[Valinye]

Rick is one of those people that when the aliens come, we point at him and say "Yeah, we all have hand-eye coordination like that - don't mess with us."

[twooffour]

2:30 I think Art Tatum can do that better... but hey, cool :)

[Chri5Sullivan]

i keep playing this from 0.15 to 0.52

[Aeonalastor]

Chuck Norris was his piano teacher... I´m sure!

[csebem]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­GGGGGG

[inesnoronha]

[screamdesertstorm]

[juan51039]

[MrSprayMonet]

he's using his dick to play all the fast parts. cheater

[7nevyn7]

Subzero!!!!!!!!!!



[bigpoo113]

holly mullet....

[otrometalero]

explosion of awesomeness

[MrHarryharding]

awesome

[GamingStag]

This should play this when teaching kids about sex education.

[gbrkct]

Is it just me? Or did this give you a boner too?

[lolskix]

nevertheless thi is an absolutely amazing solo!

[MrDeylen07]

Rudess has some competition.....

[lolskix]

@MrDeylen07

Rudess has faster hands and is on another level of play on the whole! With all respect to Wakeman, Rudess is just a more skillful keyboardist!

[tonusaitis]

@lolskix I think this Wakeman solo is way more musical than Rudess' stuff, whose solos sound a lot more like really fast scalar practice exercises. There isn't a lot I can even remember after listening to one of them - just a lot of really fast notes. There are no memorable themes or melodies.

[bvaia]

The man know's his keyboard like a man knows his own ball sack.

[bubblabu]

Absolutely fantasic

[TheAnkhorus]

One of the few in the same category as Jordan Rudess.

[janki41]

Najszybsza palcówka na świecie :D

[Mr2010Jamie]

100 people at the same piano couldn't play that fast!

[bruinshockey4life1]

jesus, this song is even hard to air piano

[TheBestOfTimes88]

insane

[MegaClash100]

jean michel jarre has a son

[FLORIDAERO]

Rick taught Chuck Norris to play keyboards

[ClearlyBlazed]

[hichagof]

[daxilom]

I play better even using my dick '-'

[Halligen1972]

For the slower parts he threw in some Methylphenidate...

[danothedinosaur]

Everybody only knows of Rick Wakeman, I saw Oliver Wakeman live playing with The Strawbs and he was brilliant.

[jgp1322]

Imagine what he could do if he was Asian...



[bvaia]

@jgp1322 He's above asian he's Rick Wakeman.

[lolskix]

@jgp1322 no asians can play like that!

[juanjoseph]

@jgp1322 He's better than any asian.

[sreynoldsbros2]

@jgp1322 imagine if he was an asian chuck norris

[rockr1997]

Rick Wakeman is Chuck Norris's father !

[S0NYA1]

[HartsChannel]

My fingers don't move fast enough to even try to follow him on air piano

[TBBOfficial]

[rachjay4]

Holy....

[Dreamsguitar]

Fuck, he's not doing that with only 10 fingers... Rick is using his penis too, isn't he?

[2000mmar]

Nice end clip of one of the most famous solo keyboard artist!

[kingcrimson234]

keith emerson, eat your heart out.

[4tkStudios]

[kisakk]

[time4pwnagenow]

[gaarack]

54 people are banjo players....

[slvrfx55]

When asked about Kieth Emerson, Wakeman supposedly said "the MF has three hands!!" Both of these guys are great!! Check out some of ELP's stuff, you should be impressed. Yes and ELP put out some great stuff!!

[robipetranovic]

Who the hell could dislike this?!

[xXRyanH1967Xx]

54 people play the organ

[horsinroundkevin]

YES that is why YES sounds like....YES.

[time4pwnagenow]

He once fingered a woman. She is no longer with us.

[Heavyrocker582007]

@time4pwnagenow

she died satisfied.

[OneVis10n]

@time4pwnagenow roger waters recorded her and called the recording "the great gig in the sky"

[TheThomas4433]

@time4pwnagenow you said that also by OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD KEYBORD SPEED

[time4pwnagenow]

@TheThomas4433 Kay bro.

[neglectedMushrooms]

@time4pwnagenow that only goes for John Myung

[suburbanmirage]

Without a doubt, the master!!!

[themrearthwormjim]

gran pianista



[ClaudiaRampazzo]

Woow! Qué le pasó a Richard Clayderman?

[ouzo2k6]

54 have slow fingers

[3mptyLab]

I was about to try to learn this solo by ear using a phase vocoder to slow it down... too bad the audio quality sucks too much to get a decent result. Anyone know where does this clip come from?

[MasterTubeTheatre]

@3mptyLab Is this better? watch?v=0DXWz6Ms4mM

[3mptyLab]

@MasterTubeTheatre thank you very much man, I'll try to find that live album somewhere now that I know the title. Thank you again

[thehillcefis]

he's not flown from here

[SOUNDCHASERX]

THE GREATEST KEYBOARD PLAYER EVER IN ANY FORM OF MUSIC...

[SnakeorScorpion]

it was a cinderella story. They all said he couldn't do it. they all doubted him. it was a 1 in1,000,000,000,000 chance. But God had hand picked him, and afterall of his hard work throughout his entire life...

the piano finally got to play with Rick.

[Serpico1914]

SUPER FINGERS IN ACTION!

[fortuneNext]

LOL. This is no joke: When I try to get the sheet music by converting the midi, MuseScore crashes when I say the shortest note may be 1/16.

[vortoline]

Replay 86 times.

[mikeyg1959]

you show me someone else who can command a keyboard like this magician!

[kingcrimson234]

holy shit!

[MacedonCollowrath]

What's the name of song starting at 0:18???

[MsRemixPlayer]

hat der was geraucht????

[PowerComSeisX3]

sobrehumano

[YesRushELP]

Isn't part of this Catherine Parr from 6 Wives of Henry VIII?

I know that part of it is "Gone But Not Forgotten"

The ending is definitely "Merlin"

[EwerLord]

@YesRushELP

I don't hear "Gone But Not Forgotten" and "Catherine Parr" in this solo. I think it's just an improvisation.

[YesRushELP]

@EwerLord This is from Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe's "An Evening of Yes Music". This part is Catherine Parr, what you don't see is Gone But Not Forgotten that came before it, and Merlin the Magician at the end.

[Becko777]

Did I just see that???

Awesome. I've always been a fan of Rick Wakeman :)

[syam1806]

that vidio are like me :amazing :P

[dawinczi06]

Just amazing! :)

[megaforcemedia]

I feel like I'm watching somebody play nintendo.

[Bildungsrebell]

beginning 2:40 is the part that is often NOT shown in other versions of the video on yt. But this part is the even harder part! btw some 'wrong' keys in a live recording with that technical requirements is nonsense to criticize! Live is live, and music depends on live. And sometimes some "blur" is not unwished. If you don't like a mistake - take garage band and make a preproduction. How 'cool' to have a machine player in a concert :-(

[playdohjoe]

i think my eyes caught on fire...

[TrippinmixR]

Geesh! Now I know who invented Dubsteb. = P

[Bassguy0103]

why they show only my views?

[jman27able]

I LOVE THE MULLET MORE THAN THE MUSIC

[SpotlightKid86]

0:27 - 0:57 is just mind-blowing.

[CuponkNL]

this is unreal man

[xGshikamaru]

OMG I wish I could do this sort of thing with D-20 (nice to see he’s using a Roland D-50 \o/)

I’m speechless, there are some errors that can be heard though but hey what a tempo o_O

[Peuuuuuuu]

Eargasm ... I HAD IT ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

ஜ۩۞۩ஜ RICK WAKEMAN 2011 ஜ۩۞۩ஜ

[Davedude111]

This is what happens when you lock a man in a room with nothing but food, water and keyboards for 20 years and then let him loose

[xxoxia]

I just cracked up laughing for about 10 minutes because of the fact that anyone can do this.

[badger861]

@xxoxia It's funny because it's not true :D

[ChrisKogos]

Rick Wakeman is Chuck Norris if he were a pianist.

[adiosk8er63]

This guy poped some speed pills before this

[FlinckShinesOn]

Ok I can understand if this video had ONE dislike cause of the fact that some people get a thrill of being the only one disliking epic stuff... but CMON!! D:

What is wrong with 50 people in this world?? O_O

If Chuck norris could play piano he would still be beaten before he even started by Mr. Rick Wakeman. ^^

[collin292]

This made me orgasm twice.

[Voyager664]

Scheiße ist der gut.

[gergm]

Jack Bauer keyboard solo :P

[MrHurricaneTracker]

at 1:02 he plays another piano wonder what the sound is called?

[bolawarrior]

@MrHurricaneTracker

piano + string, west coast? from the jv1080 roland?

[bruinshockey4life1]

pure talent

[astranger15]

While shaking Rick Wakeman's hand, he will carve his initials into each fingernail, steal your wallet, and do your mom, all before he completes the first shake. That's how fast his fingers are.

[manslayer1972]

what year was this please???

[barbatruc06]

@manslayer1972 Hello! I think it was the year 1989 recorded on september 9 at Shoreline. I have exactly the same recording on the album ( 2 cd) Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe : An evening of yes music plus. Bye!

[DRINKSandDRUMS]

he looks like kiefer sutherland

[captjspaulding]

At the same time?

[muaad55]

@captjspaulding look at his hair cut... you can figure it out

[bolawarrior]

51 people have had their girls pussy fingered by rick wakeman.

[barbatruc06]

Salut! Quelle virtuosité! Quel talent! Rick Wakeman est le plus grand! a+

[spiritlevel8]

that fast bit is fucking awesome

[fsteyn447]

Rick wakeman is alright at piano

[AECEntertainment]

@fsteyn447 are you saying you could do better

[fsteyn447]

rick wakeman is related to Chuck noris and Richard Branson, he went up with chuck to tell his piano playin son, we are going to disneland, he apparently was soo excited, he didn't know he wasn't comming!! chuck Norris

[IDNELP]

só loucos para não gostarem desse vídeo!!

[victoryoiti2]

When Rick Wakeman gets his fingers into a girl she has thousands of orgasms in TWO seconds!

[CHRISIDDON17]

amazing .....

[Thisishowitworks]

The whole time I was waiting for him to throw of his trench coat and bust out a Superman costume with a Chuck Norris mask. It didn't happen =(

[RhysHammy]

just pure talent and epicness, :D

[vfvcarlos]

Don't like him , i don't feel anything when he plays the organ

[KWOOTfluke]

he kinda looks like Dog the Bounty Hunter... xD

[kazrial09]

pure awesome

[essexheraldcom]

They really don’t make them like that anymore. Don’t start me off on the crap they pump out today under the guise of “music”

[davids351]

50 people have no fingers!

[TiMickQC]

I really like the fact that you can ear the crowd so well... maybe there was mics for the crowds in the sound mix idk...

[ImperatorAsus]

is this a random solo or a song?

[fabiocarl740]

@ImperatorAsus I think it's a mix of some of his songs.

[drandall1776]

@fabiocarl740 You're right. . .this clip starts at the end of Part One, which is called "Madrigal." The second part, the REALLY fast part, is "Catherine Parr" from his "Six Wives of Henry the 8th" album. The last part that kinda sounds like cartoon music is "Merlin the Magician" from the "King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table."

[neil73]

Click on the 1911!!!! It fits perfectly! (This comment is only relevant on 1st April 2011)

[BobMillahhh]

@neil73 I GOT THE EXACT SAME IDEA, I was coming here to inform the good people as well.

[ZackAugustus]

@DevrorveD why don't you say something that has to do with the video... god
