  • Rick is phenomenal ! What a wonderful entertainer he truly is ! Long rock Rick Wakeman ! ! ! !

  • the master of yes band... i love you

  • Ah, the cape LIVES!

  • Rick... your creativity is like a bullshit !

  • 素晴らしい

  • Just incredible

  • Saw this tour in Florida at the then called Coral Sky Apmitheatre (don't know if I spelled that right) under a awsome full moon.

  • saw rick and yes on topographic oceans tour he was brilliant

  • Is the cameraman sleeping @1:10 and @2:10 again ? xD

  • OMG!!! it looks like he plays in fast forward. 0_0

  • Quelle belle musique !!! J'aime beaucoup cette musique. Elle me transporte au septième ciel et j'entends tout le talent d'un homme exceptionnel !

  • Brilliant. I saw Yes back in 2004 for thir 35th anniversary tour. They were amazing. Rick is great. I've always been a fan. He is the reason I now play keyboards.

  • @progressiverocker12 Me too - on all counts! I have a Korg Triton and Korg X5D

  • Rick Wakeman has never failed to amaze me. He's one of the best keyboardists in the world!

  • WE JUST LOST A GOOD>KEYBOARD PLAYER NAMED BILL(BIFF)FEENY YOU WERE HIS BEST WORSHIP PLEASE SAY A PRAYER

  • Truly the Nicest guy you could ever meet. Your The Best Rick. I came from Pittsburgh,Pa. to meet you @ Bamford Chapel 1999..

  • although I think he is kind of annoying, i'm gonna have to side with supermassively. Although this particular one is clever and funny, these comments ("# of dislikes" people are blah blah blah) annoy me only because they really only make sense until one more person dislikes the video.

    they also annoy me because everyone else seems to love them so much!!

    This one is clever and funny.... but there are 20 dislikes now, so it really doesn't make fucking sense anymore.

  • I now have my own Youtube site

    come and see

  • Visit our channel: grantorinoProg!

  • AMAZING!!! THE BEST!!!

  • Beyond category

  • My hero.

  • Mago inmortal

  • 19 people only have FIVE WIVES

  • @crazanator 19 people are fucking sick of that retarded bullshit that unfunny, unoriginal people like you spam all over YouTube. Find something new to say. That shit is getting old.

  • hahahaha yah

  • @Supermassively Man, you serious? Sure, the concept is old. Just as old as the concept of going to YouTube to watch videos. You know what? I am fucking sick and tired of people going to youtube to watch videos! What about metacafe? Or DailyMotion? Seriously... What the fuck?

    Although it is an old concept, people contribute with new ways to make it funny. No people have ever said exactly "19 people only have FIVE WIVES" before. Old concept, new idea... Get used to it, or get off the internet!

  • @masterd000 That's fucking idiotic and irrational. That's like saying "Sure, the concept of shooting yourself in the head is old! Just as old as the concept of going to the shooting range to shoot guns! I am fucking sick of people going to the shooting range to shoot!"

    Just because it's old and common, doesn't mean that it is as acceptable as other concepts that are old and common. Please tell me how "going to a website to watch a video" is equivalent to "spamming a retarded joke".

  • @crazanator I believe that those 19 people actually did choose to "Unlike" this because of the video quality. Not because they do not like Rick Wakeman or this video content itself. ; )

  • @crazanator and five mothers in law

  • @crazanator Haha, a good one!

  • @crazanator nope, 22 people only has 1 wife

  • @crazanator The wifes was six

  • The premire keyboardist . I was always wowed by him in concert

  • while catholics pray for god, keyboardists pray for Rick wakeman.

  • His left hand is bad

  • @icdops Yes, and He openly admits that.

    It has been said that if you took Wakemans right hand and Emersons left hand, you'd have the best keyboard player in the world.

  • @icdops Agreed, though i'd argue his right hand makes up for that :)

  • @tekkentool Your not going to belive this, but I actually met him last night! Look on my channel, I posted a couple of videos from his concert (Ive a couple more to come). He really engages the audience with banter, anecdotes and jokes. A true entertainer

  • @neil73 Very jealous! i'd love to see a concert with rick!

  • YES!!!!!

  • Today...2 trigger keyboards and a laptop. But, it doesn't look as impressive.

  • @tonewheel not as good to watch is it... the whole point of performance.

  • @invertedchords True. But no one plays with a rig like that anymore.

  •  in this intro to tempo with 179 or 179 beats / minute or 45 bars / min. there are four tones in one beat, meaning 179 x 4 = 716 tones / min. imagine if we mean to type 716 characters per minute, or convert the one-cylinder motorcycle engine with a stroke = 1 rotation means 716 rpm, what if one lap = 1 m mean 716 m in one minute or 716 x 60 minutes = 42 960 m / h = 43 km / h, wow hands can cramp

  • Rick Wakeman plays this song, in his intro to tempo with 179 or 179 beats / minute or 45 bars / min. there are four tones in one beat, meaning 179 x 4 = 716 tones / min. imagine if we mean to type 716 characters per minute, or convert the one-cylinder motorcycle engine with a stroke = 1 rotation means 716 rpm, what if one lap = 1 m mean 716 m in one minute or 716 x 60 minutes = 42 960 m / h = 43 km / h, wow hands can cramp

  • @dollinkit thats good to know. ty for using geometry to find out xD

  • HOW MANY MISSING THE BEST time of my life, I only slept PACKED TO THE SOUND OF RICK WAKEMAM Watch a SHOW WITH HIS SON IN ARGENTINA FOR ALL GOOD.

  • Pity about the sound quality...

  • catherine howard!

  • @slashdelbarrio Anne Boleyn! Lol.

  • I grew up with "YES!"!

  • I met Rick Wakeman in 2003. He was performing solo in Atlanta. I found him to be friendly, after the show he was surrounded by a bunch of crazy fans, I am sure he gets tired of it. To me, he was warm and friendly, signed a DVD for me "Happy xxth birthday Michael -- Rick Wakeman". No complaints about the master.

  • @durbinland I met the band in L.A. in 80 with R W wooo hooo I am not too old yet! lol

  • @shieldwolf49

    You have a couple of years on me. I first heard owner of a lonely heart and though it was the police! Sparkomatic sponsored the 90125 tour and I have not missed a concert since (even the recent version of yes). The best thing about Yes is the difference in each album(CD), and each lineup. No need to compare the best guitarist or drummer but I really wished Rick played on all of them!

  • You know I have to laugh! You all didn't see the look of contempt he had on his face...I did! Meanwhile I had just caught a Greyhound from Phoenix Arizona the night before where I saw them play an outstanding show at the Cricket Pavillion,then the night I met Wakeman, I had seen them play L.A. It really is no big deal that he acted that way to me-one of his fans. That's his shit! He didn't owe me anything...it was just the look he had on his face!You want to defend him-knock yourselves out!

  • between this God, and this other God named Jordan Rudess, I am in a religious quandry.

  • is on Planet Rock Radio every Saturday God Bless him, waht a treasure

  • GLORIOUS

  • This is the surely the greatest artistry of a master at work in Jesus name that is just superb I want it to go on and on

  • I met him once too in a hotel lobby after a show. I greeted him with a smile and a hello and offered him my hand to shake. Rather than say to me "I am sorry I don't shake hands"-he offered me his pinky to shake...like he was too good for me to have me shake his whole hand. A real jerk!

  • @Lewis1key I find it very amusing that people that have negative things to say on youtube are generally anonymous; no pictures, no name of who they r, etc. How are we supposed to believe your story on ur negative experience with this gifted, talented genius.I know there are sick people out there who want to make the good guys look like villians.I've met Rick Wakeman and he signed my copy of "Tales of Topographic Oceans" with no problems. Very cool, considering hw didnt like that album.

  • adolfo5359. Es grandioso Rick, lo recuerdo cuando llegó a Paraguay, para mi como si fuera el mismo Beethoven quien nos visitó.

  • Those are his piano hands man.. hes got to protect those things..

    On a side note, they are precious....

  • @Lewis1key I met Rick in 2006 at his meet and greet after his Grand Piano Tour performance. He shook my whole hand and told me an amusing anecdote about my Six Wives album cover he so graciously signed. You must have caught him in a "Grumpy Old Rock Star" moment. He is actually a very humble and pleasant person. And human.

  • My Dad met Rick Wakeman once, said he was a fucking cock. Sorry if you think hes amazing but i trust my fathers judgement.

  • Wakemann and Rudess are the best !!

  • Jordan Rudess play the same music with a single keyboard. JR rules!

  • @drowningpoolv2 jordan who??

  • @1i1feat Try to listen to some solo of the Dream Theater and you will understand. However maximum respect for Wakeman. Two great keybpardists in two different periods.

  • @drowningpoolv2 "Sorry" dude I have never heard Jordan. I'm just an opinenated old fart!! too quick to judge!!

  • @1i1feat haha. dream theater a brilliant they are prog much like yes and rush and some of their stuff is insane. e.g: octovarium. being 24 minutes and similar in ways to "suppers ready" by genesis.

  • @drowningpoolv2 Dream who?

  • @WallysaurRex One of the most influential prog metal band ever!

  • @drowningpoolv2 wakeman is so much better than rudess especially from a compositional point. JR is still ridiculously good though

  • @mabyenot both of them play standard chords with fast melodies on top,nothing special harmonically.

    .,unless you don´t play any instrument and think that fast is good, it is actually really boring

  • @ShareTheSphere you know shit about keyboards dont you?

  • @WallysaurRex Yea,I do.I´m a composer .

  • Christ, he's actually wearing a sequined cape.

  • I have this on DVD and it's almost as awesome as it would be live.

  • ΟΜΟΡΦΕΣ ΕΠΟΧΕΣ ΓΕΜΑΤΕΣ ΑΙΣΘΗΣΗ!ΕΥΤΥΧΩΣ ΕΧΟΥΝ ΑΚΟΜΑ ΤΟΥΣ ΣΥΝΕΧΙΣΤΕΣ ΤΟΥΣ!

  • MrMusicofthesoul

  • The best technically sound rock keyboardist ever. This guy blew away every rock keyboard player of his generation ( except for maybe Keith Emerson)

  • @xlfutur1 of his generation, yes. Jem Godfrey blows him out of the water though, in my opinion.

  • i mean look at that pile of keyboards - that´s supergenius

    rick wakeman, he even dwarves emerson lake and palmer

  • @MoveOverCasanova Except Emerson could easily improvise all of this. Look up his jams.

  • @MyNameIsBucket Oh, Emerson most definately could own Wakeman in jamming. He's fucking awesome, but you gotta give Rick his props. I mean... This is almost like a work of art. The Six Wives was one of his best solo pieces. Ever.

  • Ah si? Immagino che i biglieti siano sold-out? Peccato.

  • i will see him next march 1th in Rome, just on top of "Piazza di Spagna", in "Teatro Sistina"!!! I'll be very lucky!

  • This man is the master of keyboards!!!

  • @Solaris1992 That's why the call him The Keyboard Wizard. XD

  • @Solaris1992 And also Keith Emmerson they are both geniuses

  • @claudiodifazio14 Ray Manzarek and Jon Lord also.

  • @nfguler True!!!!!

  • @Solaris1992 yup it is a shame that girl/boy band's have talent {NOT} and here is a guy in his 60's (now) and the said {girl/boy bands} will be long gone

  • @Solaris1992 Indeed I believe he is!

  • this was actually the full circle tour from 2003

  • Caboclo é bão mesmo, não tem pra ele no teclado.

  • É bom, mas eu colocaria na disputa: Keith Emerson (ELP), John Novello (Niacin), Hans Ingemansson (The Creeps), Herbie Hancock e o Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater)! (Dos que eu lembrei agora)

    Ninguém sairia vitorioso... é tipo uma duelo sem fim onde todos se divertem, inclusive nós! :D

  • Você tem razão, todos estes são feras, é que sou fã do Yes e da carreira solo do Rick Wakeman.

  • hahaha....fazia tempo que eu nao ouvia um comentario tao brazuca!!!valeu.

  • un giorno diventerò come lui

  • that was from their 2004 tour i believe.....35th anniversary tour, i saw them in Dallas. That was the tour that wore out Jon and his health declined afterward. I"M really glad i caught it!!

  • @rosskstar yeah it was sad to see them July last year and it was Oliver Wakeman and David Benoit (but they did a good job).

  • genious

  • rick wakeman is a dude, asshole

  • AWESOME

  • wow where did you dig this up? Cool!

  • fenomeno, grazie di esistere Rick

  • Der blir du liten Iver Kleive!

  • no me queda duda de que cuando yo era joven, tomar acidos y escuchar buena musica , era bastante sano ,jajaja

  • Yo soy actualmente un joven sano jajaja

    Grande Wakeman

  • "como que se queda solo con tanto piano"

  • Comment removed

  • I'm Awake man forever. He is crazy brilliant!

    I'll never sleep.

  • the keys wizard

  • Sim, sem dúvida, o melhor tecladista de todos os tempos, senão o melhor músico.

    Yes, no questions, the best keyboardist ever

  • alongside tony banks

  • Yep, Tony is second when you factor in overall creative body of work, and I think at times he played technically on a level surpassing any other keyboardists of the day (excluding Wakeman of course) In the 70's I saw on a number of occasions: Wakeman, K minear, T Banks, E Jobson, and K Emerson perform live with their bands. Emerson was the least impressive of all these guys, maybe due in part to ELP being somewhat sloppy live compared to these other bands (sorry ELP fans)

  • Um mago das teclas...

  • superior

  • fantastic

  • One word: Fantastic

  • GENIUS

  • the best!!!!

  • Yeah, Rick Wakeman Is Really Great Keyboard Player, But Don´t Forget About Jon Lord, Ken Hensley and Keith Emerson,,,, (legends)... :) and one man from Slovakia Marian Varga... Check It Out

  • yep, well said! I am a lifelong Jon Lord fan & met him several times (even crunched his fingers when i shook his hand once) But i love wakeman too & he is so funny! Planet Rock sat mornings!

  • In my opinion,Rick has two magic performer hands....but Keith is also a great composer!

    However it's impossible to compare them

  • The most melodic keyboard player, he has written some really beautiful tunes, which will stand the test of time and be future classics!

    ...and a great comedian too!

  • Wow he is a genius...

  • RIck said in an interview that emerson has a better left hand than he does

  • did someone get the satriani snippet at 2:45 ?

    midnight feeling

  • Pyrotechincs onlyu go so far????? What the hell are you smoking??????? Don't get me wrong John Lord & Ray Manzeric are both excellent players in their own right & there is a lot of Musicality as you put it in Ricks playing. Wakeman is not showy he is technical to say the least & alot of classical influence is shown in his playing. If you realy want a strange keyboard album to listen to try & find " I'm so straight I's a weirdo" it's roller rink muzac from the 80's

  • Jane Seymour, fuckin' insane

  • Emerson has nothing on Wakeman?

    I don't think Emerson and Wakeman can really be compared as "who is better". Well at least I don't think of it that way. They're both GREAT and have influenced me personally. They're both very different. Apples and Oranges.

    That all being said, I think I personally prefer Wakeman's music to Emerson's, but I listen to BOTH all the time.

  • Rick said on Planetrock (his radio show) a while ago that people comparing him and Emerson was like comparing some top soccer player against some top Cricketer; that is, they are both of differing influences and most of all, they are musicians, not bloody sportsmen!lol!

  • Rick ..Santo Subbitoo!!

  • well, to bring a musically c00L line of 'some' connectivity from Wakeman to Emerson-- via other dudes but what the heck-- i saw Yes waaay back {uhh, like 3 decades ago, wh3w} then i got lucky again & saw HOWE w/ ASIA in '82.. yeah ASIA wasn't near the brilliant music of ELP or YES.. but it WAS damn c00L to see Steve Howe perform ye ole classic solos,, live onstage while the other dudes took a break.. pure Howe.. like ye ole days of YES.. THANX for posting the gr3at WAKEMAN music & vids =][=

  • Rick Wakeman is a genius of quintet YES

    !!

  • I saw him playing in São Paulo (Brazil). He is fantastic.

  • Keith Emerson has nothing on Wakeman.

  • I´loving the way the lights change ......... so evil.

    My god, this his high end music and not a f ´cking gothic happening !

    Drink a cup of tee !

  • O.O

  • I saw him do this in Melbourne 2003,the Minimoog bass vibrated my seat,totally amazing!

  • i'm loving the way the lights change when he starts jane seymour!!! it makes him look so evil! :D

  • omg rick wakeman is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

    but is better jordan rudess and better than rudess is keith emerson

  • es seko pro io prefiero a rudess

  • I own the triple record album in a fire I'll save it over anything else including ELO or the Beatles.I refer to YESONGS

  • sound sucks :( but no comment about rick...

  • imagine rick wakeman playing some songs with dream theater band

  • I'd like that better that the keyboard player they have now, as long as Rick would use some of his classic sounds he used in early Yes. :D

  • LOL at Rudolf the red nosed reindeer 1:40.

  • was there since the begining, try 6 wives of henery 8th also journeyto the center of the earth or elp brain salad surgery enjoy! going now to listen to Mike Oldfield tubular bells whole album.....later!!

  • Rudess < Wakeman

  • I never saw Yes, but they certainly made good music.

  • how many keyboards are there? i want those in my house!
