#RickWakeman
My son flew me from Alabama to see Rick at Lincoln Cathedral. What a night!
I saw him at Buxton Opera House a few years ago. Words cant express his talent, humility, Britishness, warmth. Not many like him.
Rick Wakeman THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
In Italy we say "FORTE!!!". Bravo.
I adore Rick Wakeman. From Russia with love.
The only version of this song, besides the original, that i like ❤️❤️❤️
Aretha Franklin's version is great, too.

Ah, remember the days when Rick and all the members of Yes wore capes when they performed live? And they almost blew out my eardrums the first time I saw them perform. 😂Now we're all getting old. Most of my Rock heroes have banker haircuts. At least Rick still has long hair. 😃 And he is still the finest when it comes to tickling those keys. Yep, Rick and Keith, the two finest. RIP Keith Emerson.
I have loved Rick Wakeman since the first time I heard him with Yes back in the early 70's! Excellent!❣
Being that I started piano lessons when I was 5, I know how difficult and challenging keyboards can be!
me too 1973!
I doubt Rick himself is the one running this account but if it is, thank you for these videos. You're an inspiration and a huge part of the music I grew up loving and am now passing on to my own children. Thank you!
Alex, this is an official Rick Wakeman channel (100%: check video at the top of the channel page) and I presume it is administered by someone appointed to do so by Rick. I also grew up with his music and love it very much. Lately I have been practicing excerpts of King Arthur on the piano, something I hoped to do as a teenager.
Cat no one cares
We are here for his musicianship not his flawed morals.
@@ScootsMcPoot I'm actually here for his flawed morals ... not his music. 🤣
Who's the man who use to sing with him for years then the woman I can not find no were there names I know most of the others Lee pomeroy well know bassist Adam his son ect and the drummer that was with him for years was all so on gas tank
Saw Rick in his current Grumpy show last night in Brum and he played this on a synth - he was brilliant, a 2-hr+ solo show with so many songs (and jokes/stories)... what a special troubadour he is!
I have all albums of Rick Wakeman. Because I adore them. From Russia with love. Michael.
Man, when you say “all”, you really mean more than 100 releases, including studio, compilations, live, etc ? Congrats !!!
he is just a genius!
Thank you for everything Rick. God bless.
Imagine what Keith Emerson's approach and style would have rendered with this piece. Two great keyboardists, uniquely different.
Ah, the endless argument among prog-heads when I was in high school: "Emerson or Wakeman?" The responses were about equal, with an occasional "Tony Banks!" (who would say he's a composer, not a keyboardist).
@@racookster Tony Banks...hahahahaha He's not even on the road, that leads to the ballpark, where Wakeman and Emerson (RIP) play. Absolutely no comparison. Banks isn't even close to being in the same league.....
The greatest composer of my time, hands down.
I love the left hand subtlety.
One of the greatest Rock Keyboard men of all time
I think back on the first time I saw Wakeman (74) and the last time (19) Can't wait until the next time. I'll be there.
I own a copy of this concert and this man is so unique. Thanks Sir Wakeman for all the memories.
👍
I've been a fan for over 50 years and he may not be the best, but he's got style like no one else. Fantastic musician.
We had a fantastic evening in Lincoln when this was recorded.
This brings me absolute joy every time I listen. The way how Rick has taken the layers of the song, separated them, embellished them with beauty, stretched time itself with some of them, altered their texture and so much more, then beautifully laid every piece all back together in what becomes a flowing journey of a piece of music. Every time I listen it's like a daily advancement in my Musical knowledge 🤝👍🎼
THE keyboard KING. Wizardry!
Wonderfully filmed. Masterpiece version.
Rick plays the piano as hard as I breathe.
Magical.
Thanks dear for your love and support all the this time🎻🎻🎻❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you Sir Rick, I´been following you for the las t 50 (fifty ) years and never, ever, heard something that could dislike me
Thanks Rick. Inspirational composer performer confluence of magic! Peace and thanks for being a mentor.
This is such an awesome version of this classic. Thanks Rick.
Enjoy Beatles!! Rick is la GOD!!!!
A modern day Mozart. Fabulous rendition of a classic song.
Espectacular, Rick forever...gracias por tu música y obra...👍👍
Mervellous....
Wow!
possibly the most personable genius in this video x x
Excellent articulation and technique
THIS! This is the piece that truly made me fall in love with Rick Wakeman. It is a jewel to my ears and heart ♥
"Variaciones a un tema de The Beatles". Maravillosa versión del Maestro Rick Wakeman.
Siempre un placer oír a este Maestro
MAGNIFICENT! Thank you, Mr.Wakeman! Thank you, Rick!
Wow! Just wow!
Nuestra vida es un mucho mas interesante escuchando a un virtuoso
After all this years you are still shining superstar. Thank you for your beautiful timeless music.
Hay Rick, the way your playing this piece reminds me of Genius when they started out. Thanks mate. Cheers.👍👍👍
Rick Wakeman. He just keeps getting better. An inspiration to us all!
Classics from all eras!
Like Gold in my wars! Thanks Rick
WOW... This guy is Great... 😲
This man scored The Burning (1981). It is my introduction into this great composer. Perhaps others can suggest where to look next for his work if interested.
Nicely done. Hadn't really listened to this chap since the mid 70s. Like the idea that he uses 19th and 20th century texts and composers for inspiration re arranging.
Just brilliant.
Genius
If I ever wonder what a room full of planet rock listeners looks like, this is the true image......
Incredible version
I read 'Wakeman', I click like.
Amazing!
Brilliant! Thank you
Phenomenal, as always.
So good!
Thank you Maestro!!❤️
Amazing live. Wakeman is king
He really is amazing live!
Excelente!!!!!
I really enjoyed this, thank-you 🙂 Incidentally, I bought a copy of 'Principles of Orchestration' by Rimsky-Korsakov last year and it is an ambition of mine to work through it!
Stunning performance!
Stunning.
BRILLIANT! LOVE IT!

Wunderscön! :)
Precious way to play this Beatles song
Que baile, que aula.
Bravo! 👏😅
Buen pianista y estupenda versión.
Extrodinary
I've always felt if you're going to copy a song, why do it the same as the original? I'm a huge Beatles fan, and this version highlights the skill of the musician and the composers.
👏👏👏👏👏
MARAVILHA !!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎼❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks dear for your love and support all through this time❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@rickwakemen1852 You dear Sir are on my short list of writers/composers ; Livgren,Emerson,Morse..Thne there is you, on an entirely different level uniquely yours alone. An amalgam as we all are;of our journey on this road we travel on. All the trials and smiles,the tears and fears of a thousand nights,the love we find and give.Thank you very much for giving us of yourself so eloquently displayed thru them hands ,and making more memorable moments for us all to enjoy and share.We all know where this Gift comes from and you do Him service immensely.Romans 8
Isso é um piano ou uma nave espacial 👀
Quite far from the original however : MAGNIFICENT!
Fantastic arrangement. Although I would like to know the opinion of the same by Mr. McCartney
I don't know much about Prokofiev, but it was cool. Thanks.
Amazing how he turned this into a great Piano piece in its own right ! Would love to know what Paul (McCartney) thinks of it .. (sadly John (Lennon) can't comment on it anymore)
Es igual a Martín Subercaseaux de Chile! Es una persona igual a ti Rick. Saludos
Can I use this masterpiece for my magic show?! It’s incredible to combine the mystery of magic tricks with your fingertips 🤩🔥
Eleanor Rigby meets Roundabout and the Wives of HenryVIII !
Fire....! I'd love to do a guitar solo on top of this..... 😎✌️🎸🔥
Do it. You have the audio. Why procrastinate.
