Rick Wakemans The Six Wives Of Henry VIII is one of the landmark albums of the seventies, a critical and commercial success that has sold in excess of 15 million copies worldwide. In May 2009, Rick Wakeman finally achieved his long held dream of performing the entire album live at Hampton Court Palace. It was the first time the whole album had ever been performed in concert & included the Henry VIII track Defender Of The Faith, that had to be cut from the original album for space reasons, plus new opening and closing pieces. The two spectacular sell out concerts were a never to be repeated event and this film shows why they will live long in the memory of all those fortunate enough to attend.

To those bashers, detractors, and generally negative mentally and musically impoverished people - what you're witnessing here are masterpieces performed in an optimum setting by the composer himself. This is akin to a 19th century audience having the chance to enjoy a live performance of Beethoven with an orchestra. Like Beethoven, RW's offering here won't be properly appreciated until long after he's gone. Good for those realize what a gift this is. Pity for those who do not.

Beethoven would be proud. Thums up if you know this to be an ultimate truth.

[Tripticot]

I'm sorry but this is pure and utter shite. Even Ryanair have better music 

[bubblabu]

Simply wonderful

@Vince1961 One could suggest that anyone who would compare this to Beethoven (or any of the classical masters) is mentally & musically impoverished. Jeez, I had this record in the mid-70s, as a teen, when I was into classical-prog-rock and recognized that this was kind of weak. Wakeman did some good stuff with Yes, but this is the precursor to John Tesh.

I need to disagree. Rick Wakeman is a master of the Keyboards. And unlike Beethoven, he and his music is much appreciated while he is alive. I DO :)

[reyeror]

he should have three hands....well i think he hasn't

[slbabb]

@xploadliveproduction It's Adam Wakeman, Rick's son.

My SWOHE on vinyl is probably one of my most prized possessions....

[tackymackey]

Worshiped SWOHE as a teenager in the 90's. Rick is truly in a class all his own and totally capable of pulling off the cape look :D
