Rick Wakeman - Close to the edge (on piano)
Loading...
Uploaded by RobyFacchinetti on Apr 29, 2009
La tecnica "acustica" di Rick Wakeman effettua una rilettura di uno dei pezzi forti firmati dagli Yes nell'oro dell'esperienza progressive del gruppo.
Un'esecuzione particolarmente complessa da un punto di vista formale che inquadra al meglio le sonorità e, al medesimo tempo, le capacità del recente Rick Wakeman pianista.
Buona visione.

@MrPinkpound Yeh, great way of putting it - give the music back to the musicians. Excellent comment!

Beautiful rendition.

Not surprisingly the instru.-based melodic ideas translate to piano better than the vocal ones... well the main verse-form at least (the chorus sounds ok). Seems he only does the verse melody once, and it's (to me) the weakest part... not sure if he does the 'tossed a line around the changes of the summer' part at all. Wonder how many keys he 'modulates' to.. those modulations and changes in dynamics/feel are the best thing about the arrangement, IMO.

WONDERFUL.

Wonderful piece, as for credit, Wakeman couldn't get credit on any of the early Yes material due to music publishing issues.

He played it wrong? I've seen them in concert multiple times and he does it note for note like the album then. The man is a true musician and has the right to re-interpret his music to give it new life. I play various kinds of guitar (badly). I often change a song according to the type of guitar I'm using and the audience I'm playing to.

Prime example why YES is too good for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Just too good!
Superb.

@SonicBrunoth Keith and Rik are and always have been good buddies - Rik had Keith on his show on Planet Rock a year ago - there was and is not any rivalry, they are both superb and are individuals who play how they want to and do not give a shit who is best
