Rick Wakeman - Catherine Aragon (2009) from "The Six Wives Of Henry VIII"

[fran0162]

Pure genius :)

[oscaromana]

he's playing with the fucking eyes closed!!!

[patelomosteiro]

Fantástico!!! si Rick hubiese nacido hace 200 años, sería otro J.S. Bach...Very nice!!!

[jaco1458]

sorry, its putting me to sleep..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzz..

[jaco1458]

Looks kinda like Santa playing keyboards!

[Looking1231]

Mr. Rick Wakeman is a fricking GENIUS on the keyboards. He does things that even now I wonder how the heck he does it. I swear he makes the hardest parts look like childs play. I love playing the keys and no matter how good I get, if I can play 1/16th as good as him, I would be happy!

[zoprohq]

I got to shake his hand once!

[Charoke]

@zoprohq I did too, in 2010! He's got HUGE hands, right?! (or maybe Im just really small, but I remember his hands as huge. My entire shoulder fit in his hands!)

[zoprohq]

Grand Master KB Rickm Wakeman

[CRZ4QR]

he's like wine,gets better and better with time.the best kb player in the universe

[bubblabu]

Just really great stuff

[bobboll1]

All the Yes members except Steve Howe seem to have really eaten well over the years.

[ddcain2003]

@bobboll1 Steve does a macrobiotic (sp? ) diet

[jonathandevocht]

@bobboll1

You meen drinked a lot!

[The8thDOCTOR]

"Thank you for waiting , your call is very important to us"

[fretbuzz59]

@The8thDOCTOR LOL!

[reyeror]

If i've got to wear a cape to play like him, i'll do it, even i would wear underpants with colour brocades.

[mainecor]

I loved it when the album came out, and I still love it.

[rbeane1956]

Arguable the greatest keyboardist of all time.

[dannie2061]

@rbeane1956 Well said !

[rockeritogay]

He's getting closer to Santa! :p lol

[green3825]

His lifelong dream. To play at this castle. God loves him.

[green3825]

Like someone said already Wakeman + mini Moog = eargasim.

[green3825]

Just bought this CD. Unreal

[Diastavrones]

His stage equipment looks like Jordan Rudess' studio equipment

I love both though, they are awesome, but it is guys like Wakeman who got me into keyboards and into music like Jordan Rudess

[florvillaseca]

Pure Genius!!!!

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

Simply beautiful! And he attends my same church. Also, my dearly departed sister, surely is in heaven. Catherine. 32 years now...

[kingcrimson234]

you know, i would call most people conceited for wearing a friggin cape but i will give rick a pass. if anybody deserves to wear a cape it's him.

[harpsinth]

some men study very hard and became fine musicians.

some men study and perfect themselves even hard to became the

best among the best musicians. very few men are true born artists,

and this special kind of musician study only suffice to keep their soul

running some 1.000.000 light years away from earth, so the rest of us

confound this musician with the music itself, because they are the just

same thing.

[RedMapp1]

mostro!!!

[alcatras4]

WHHGSHHAAGGH!!!!....SHIT!!!...­This gig has me in tears...WAKEMAN IS GOD!!!

[JessPaillan]

una GENIALIDAD., así, con mayúsculas y sin preámbulos.

[JessPaillan]

una GENIALIDAD., así, con mayúsculas y sin preámbulos.

[anaklumpar]

Justo ayer vi la peli,aunque conocía la historia.Pero cómo musicaliza este hombre las situaciones es INCREÏBLE!!!

[juanchow56]

Is sad to see 7 people don't have the sensibility to enjoy this music.

[darklord8603]

Cómo se llama este DVD? lo necesito YA.

[iskanderoelmann]

@darklord8603 The six wives of henry the VIII At the hamptons (2009) the original 1973 album is simply the six wives of henry the Viii. Get it you wont regret.

[fkappreciative]

What I keep thinking about is the bus ride from the station to Hampton Court. On a typical day, it takes about an hour due to terrible traffic. I can only imagine the bus ride on that evening of the show.

[MonochromeLoco]

A pleasure to hear. Liked & faved. ;)

[soopahsoopah]

is Brian Blessed on the DVD? what a legend...

[adriankeibord2]

Rick tem uma paixão especial por este Korg M3! usa ele mais que o oasys!

Rick has a special passion for this Korg M3! he uses more than the OASYS!

[DrStrangefate]

He's got a Roland Fantom....bastard!!! lol

Wakeman is the man. I love this album...but I do prefer Myth and Legend

[millonety123]

Rick me parece que no necesita venir a España porque YA vive en España, concretamente en el sur de Tenerife. Al menos hace unos años estaba alli. El video esta bien pero la version original es unica. El mismo reconoció que llegó a olvidársele tocar el piano por el cacao mental con producto de tantas actuaciones, viajes y cambios de personal. Hay que agradecerle la revolución que produjo en el mundo de los teclados y su protagonismo fue algo único. Larga vida al mago!!

[MASQUEVENCEDORES09]

Increiblemente EXELENTE

[LucaSbaBabetto]

Seven people hit the wrong button. Songs like this just CAN'T be disliked,

[konked]

@LucaSbaBabetto They're propably old punksters annoyed with spiky hair turned bald as a billiard ball :)

[LucaSbaBabetto]

@konked Hahahahahaha pwned!!! XD

[RoadDog56]

I love Rick Wakeman forever

[danieleconomia]

Rick Wakeman - Catherine Aragon 

[patelomosteiro]

Rick Wakeman es un auténtico genio de la música, y si viene algún día por España espero poder ir a verlo en directo.

[danieleconomia]

Sin palabras

[aadave88]

The Cape gives him magical powers!!!

[Charoke]

Rick Wakeman is really great! I will never ever forget the day I got to meet him!

[vulpecula999]

ADVERTS -FUCK RIGHT OFF

[Lordsirdonlast]

Rick Wakeman is Great! Wakeman! Wakeman! Wakeman rules!!!

[net3211]

There is many synthesizers around Rick.

[studiodreadful]

Thanks ....

[yannquix]

A the beginning this reminds me of Dream Theather

[MacedonCollowrath]

0:30 - it's BACH

[lusteraliaszero]

@MacedonCollowrath shit, atleast a bit similar.

[MacedonCollowrath]

@lusteraliaszero There's no doubt that Wakeman was inspired by Bach. Just listen to "Jane Seymour" from this very album....

[COELHODEMORAESVIDEOS]

@MacedonCollowrath

its very normal to be inspired by someone, in music. it's quite normal.

[sporopeza01]

I'm going to start wearing a cape too.

[COELHODEMORAESVIDEOS]

@sporopeza01

if you are Wakemann you can use what do you want.

He can.

[thiagotecnico]

@sporopeza01 it's not a cape, it's a cloak :))))

[TS8m]

todo bien con Rick, es un grande, ahora, jode un poco que siga disfrazándose de Papa Noel, no hace falta

[EduUshuaia]

@TS8m En que jode que se vista de como se le de la gana?, pierde sincronizacion al tocar?, se le enredan las manos con la capa?, daña la vista al televidente el color purpura??????

[arlindorlino]

AVE WAKEMAN ! - LONG LIFE IS A GOD !

[fabiolaganivet]

Es insuperable....el mejor!

[INSCRIPTIC0R]

Its heston blumenthal xD 3:49

[buditrikorayanto]

[mobyboy]

Some artists getting old, doesnt look pathetic, specially when they dont compremise on quallity !

[verawilner]

@mobyboy WHY DOM YOU SEE THAT?

[emilioarias41]

Fantástico Wakeman,como siempre, y la Orquesta y Coros no lo pueden hacer mejor...Enhorabuena!!!

[Progrocker70]

I love Chris Squires opening bass lines to Catherine on the Six Wives album. What an powerful intro to this great song!!

[headstockfagburn]

had the privelidge of seeing rick at the odeon b'ham King Arthur tour in the 70's ....wot a guenuinely nice guy. wen music was played 4 pleasure

[MegsyTheDarkDreamer]

Beautiful ... 

[emilshere]

the orchestraal section were he plays the moog low notes was rearranged from 4/4 to 3/4 feel anyone else notice that?

[ladyrochford]

The guy might be old, but he rocks it BIG TIME.

[rick4777]

The classically trained Rick Wakeman, just a beautiful blend of classical/Prog Rock.

[tobymanero2]

what's the name of the drummer with sunglasses?

[zeusdvm]

@tobymanero2 Ray Cooper, a noted percussionist who has been around a long time and been part of many great songs/albums.

[alemsrock]

Excellent , Rick Wakeman and his progressive rock hymn !!

[carlitos1234567890]

BRAVO RICK WAKEMAN !!!

[harwit]

Thank you for this video.

[MasterTubeTheatre]

Does anyone have a copy of the second night on CD? I have one of the first night, and would love to have the second too. Message or reply if you do! :)

[GMZART]

The "Pope" of Progressive Rock!

[cricrikenina21]

WOW !!! AWSOME!!

[MrMusicofthesoul]

very very only!!!

[deconstructionist67]

Rick looks like Santa

[jos18essy]

what is it?????

[Putherberus]

@deconstructionist67

That's because he is Santa - passing cheer and good tidings

[Putherberus]

@deconstructionist67 That's because he IS Santa - passing out cheer and good tidings.

[wardka]

This is fantastic. He is staying fairly faithful to the original synth patches - and he's wearing a cape again just for chuckles and nostalgia I guess. This takes me way back and the skill and dexterity have not diminished at all.

[giogo14]

is there any sheet music for this?

[tegid699]

@giogo14 I used to have the sheet music in the 70's so it was printed, VERY rare now, I have been looking out for it. Saw it on ebay (sold) for £50 !

[criskao84]

One of the most sublime pieces I ever heard of any aritst...period. Wakeman forever great!

[stalrunner]

I hope the NFL doesn't try to sue him for wearing a Fleur de Lis...

[Yetanotherstringband]

I got to see him perform this live with a small band in a bar in Cleveland in the early 80s. This is very cool.

[tigerincanada]

pretentious cunt

[themichaelc]

I love his keyboard castle.

[almant2]

the best musician

[grumpyoldgitt]

Looks like Farther Christmas lol

[davihss]

HE HAVE A KORG OASYS!!!!!!

my dreaming keyboard

[kreuterhexxe]

@davihss fuck the OASYS, the minimoog is da shit

[Mikemaniax]

0:25, Andy Dick on Trombone

[aletutyful]

Muito lindo!

Maravilhoso!

[XQL]

My first RW's album was ..Six Wives... when I was eighteen at 1989, at the same time of ABWH. two years before Union. Joyfull moments that I loved and never can´t forge it! Thanks Rick! I love your music from the bottom of my heart, my soul.

Exequiel Cariaga from Buenos Aires, Argentina

[clavdig]

Ah, finally, Rick with a huge orchestra again, and good it sounds too! But to cut The Blessed out is sacrilege! GORDONS ALIVE!!

[gannonsheldon]

What DVD is this I want it soooo bad!

[Amadeus586]

This is a concert Rick gave in May, 2009 at Hampton Court Palace, outside London, during the celebrations marking the 500th anniversary of King Henry VIII's accession.

The concert is available on CD and DVD.

[danmist]

How did I not hear about this????

[SYDUB]

I love Catrherine d'Aragon. Drums really sucks with electronic drums. Bravo Mr wakeman for the rest.

[fatdaddychong]

that looks like a mix between boris johnson and tom baker conducting the orchestra, and this DVD is definatley being bought

[Ieghairdude]

He looks absolutely rediculous.

[AllStarBugler]

great concerts both nights. 2nd night was better and the DVD seems to be mostly the 2nd night. Good news is that some of Rick's solos were buried in the mix, but brought to the forefront on the DVD. Some, not all. The bad news is that a lot of Brian Blessed's work was edited quite severely. He really stole the show so it's a bit weird not seeing/hearing all of his commentary. Glad I have the CD's that were produced at the concert. A great experience overall and one I'll treasure always.

[eaglerocktv]

I think that the DVD is actually all from the 2nd night.

Thanks

James

[AllStarBugler]

Agreed.

[progduke]

@AllStarBugler

What a great video. I didn't know that Santa Claus is such a wonderful keyboard-player !!! So he's bringing all the goodies, toys and prog tunes. God bless Wakeman !!! and merry Progmas wherever you are !!!

[carrietide]

I was in the audience.......I will NEVER forget

[carlitos1234567890]

FABULOSO !!!!!

[Ltlegendary]

Exquisite and superb! To buy this DVD is a no-brainer...Rick is a genius!

[dvgulliver]

I have always loved this music and also always wondered why it is not in the chronological order of the wives. Any ideas out there?

[ornleifs]

The sheet music to this Great album should be released again, I´ve been trying too find a copy for years.

[Diastavrones]

wakeman should invest in a musicpad pro. I'm sure he would like it and it looks a lot better than sheets.

[brotherofmine]

What a great night it was. Expensive but worth every penny.

[iskanderoelmann]

the best. i was born in 1979 but i heard catherine of aragon in 1984 for 1st time.

and its definetely one of my favorites.

this version is the most exciting ive ever heard

[aureliosjc]

Absolutely beautiful.

[aureliosjc]

Just perfect. I will buy the dvd

[luisgarzap]

Yo al igual que muchos experimentamos la gran satisfaccion de ver a Wakeman y a su hijo en el teatro Teresa Carreño en Caracas hace unos años ya, y les digo que su musica es magia verdadera que permanece en el tiempo.

Magnifico.

[vidisto]

Very Good.
