I know he will not read this, but thanks for loving and respecting my country when no other artist would come here. Thanks for 3 amazing performances that I saw, and for the ones fans before me saw. Love from Brazil
I was extremely fortunate to have seen this musical Genius on his first tour as he performed in The Arie Crown Theatre in McCormick Place , Chicago ! I was enthralled then & remember my guests being totally overwhelmed by his incredible original performance & wardrobe that befit the young Master ! I still relish the thought of having the honor of a Rick Wakeman performance ...... Appears he does not age or have any decline in his age ! I pray Rick remins in good form & his health remains great. He really doesn't look like he's aged a year .......... Nick , NavyBlueSmoke , LST-1195
I saw the same show....what an experience... I must have been 17 or so.... Sullivan High School graduate....those were the days when we attended all the concerts in Chicago during the 70's
I saw him decades ago in Toronto for the Six Wives of Henry VIII tour. He drank beer, told jokes and stories between the songs. Quite the entertaining evening!
When I was stationed in the Air force on the remote Island of Shemya out near the end of the Aleutian Islands, we would turn out the lights in our dorm room and put on Journey to the Center of the Earth. It helped us survive a year’s assignment on this lonely, cold, windy rock in the middle of a the freezing Bering sea. It would take us to a whole different world inside the earth!
If correct spelling and grammar was a requirement on Shemya, he woodn't have being ther wering an aire force uniform. What have you done for our country. Scilly count!
ESSE AÍ REPORTA AOS TEMPOS DA BOA MÚSICA O FAMOSO GOOD TIME...MINHA ADOLESCÊNCIA CURTIU RICK WAKEMAN HOJE 2024 ESTOU OUVINDO " VIAGEM AO CENTRO DA TERRA " UM CLÁSSICA DA MÚSICA MUNDIAL É ETERNO 🤗 ..
Nothing like this could ever be played live on those early synths. They not only played one note at a time (monophonic not polyphonic) but could only be programmed to make one sound, and needed time-consuming rewiring with patch cords before another sound could be produced. People like Wakeman and Keith Emerson were not just musical virtuosos, they were part engineer too!
My first ever concert in California, must have been 1974, was Wakeman at the Hollywood Bowl with the whole orchestra and choir on stage. Did the album live with dinosaur effects and all. It was something I will never forget. I must have been 13 or 14 years old. My 18 year old sister took me.
I'm the same age as your sister, and we had tickets to see him with YES right around that year or so . Well my friends that I was going with, dropped the acid we were gonna do at the concert the day before, and ended up in the hospital and nobody got to go. lol I'm lucky I didn't do any. lol Went to CAL JAM 2 a few years later.
I saw him perform the whole album in Adelaide in 75? (I think), complete with gigantic inflatable dinosaur! At the interval he came out and said that he had a new album and was going to play it for us after the break. 6 Wives of Henry the 8th. What an amazing show! Will live with me forever. Thanks Rick!
ok so, i listened to the album journey to the center of the earth with my dad when i was about 7/8 years old, and hearing it again after many years has comforted my heart. I listened to this wonder on long car rides with him, and we tried to sing, both vocals and instruments with him lol anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the existence of this gem that helped me a lot on the path of life.
Eu vivi isso aos meus 15 anos de idade, eu tinha todos disco dele (LP's). Inesquecível. Esse ano completo 64 anos. Hoje curto David Gueta, Alok e toda música eletrônica 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amo e faz parte da minha história, eu era uma criança e aprendi a apreciar com minha irmã oito anos mais velha que eu. Pra mim é o rock progressivo melhor do mundo, minha paixão eterna ❤
Hi warren from Australia I love the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth. I remember seeing Rick do this live in the 70s but this video is the best thing I've ever seen on RUclips. Absolutely fantastic thank you so much
Rick Wakeman, o que esse fantástico músico fez em favor do pop mundial naquela época era pura obra de arte, aranjos fenomenais em sua ilha de teclados, a mistura da imponência do erudito com a irreverência do rock and roll. MAGO!!!
I remember seeing the original production on PBS when I was a kid. How I wish I could get a video of that! Not just the size and pageantry, but watching Wakeman in his "fortress of keyboards". He would be playing one front of him, and a totally different part on a keyboard directly behind him, sight unseen 🤯
Estos monstruos....verdaderos maestros de la música deleitaron a mi generación, una generación con bastante más curiosidad intelectual y artística que lo que hay ahora (no hay mas que buscar en la radio -por lo menos española - cualquier emisora musical para ver el deterioro y retroceso que ha venido acaeciendo de aquellos maravillosos 70 y 80 hasta la fecha.
WHERE does Rick find his drummers? They're all so GOOD! That kid he had in Cuba was AMAZING! ....well ALL _those_ musicians were insane! As the show was!
Even without backup accompaniment by orchestra and choir, this version of Wakeman's incredible, musical retelling of Jules Verne's classic is a stunning masterpiece! His mastery of numerous keyboards is unmatched by anyone I have ever seen or heard! It is like hearing the show for the first time! The vocalist handles the story well enough, over-emphasizing at points with notes not heard by the original singers in the album of 1974, but the entire performance, without the narrative script, is impressive and memorable! Thanks for this reimagined, stirring, visual upload on one of my favorite albums!
Saw this show in Dallas at least 40 yrs ago. Was remarkable back then. I had the 8-track so when saw the show was coming to us, I and a friend hit it. Little did I know it was just the beginning of a fateful night! But what a show. I got excellent seats!
I was a teenager when this came out.. not sure how I found it ..perhaps by word of mouth or because my friend had a YES album...but I listened to this so many times in my room.. (I always liked the Journey to the Center of the Earth movie from the 50s. A story of adventure. I memorized this album..Loved it .. takes me back to the Center of my youth
Uff..exelente, RICK WAKEMAN, uno de los grandes tecladistas del Rock Progresivo, Viaje Al Centro De La Tierra, y en vivo un clásico de principio de década de los 70's...gracias por compartir, un grán abrazo desde mí Chile Progresivo. ..🎼🎸✌
That singer's voice reminds me of Greg Lake's voice more than the voices typically heard from Yes singers. Nice to know that there's room for baritones, and maybe even bass singers.
Só comparado aos grandes gênios como bach,Mozart, e outros...essa versão mais moderna ficou ótima, mas a original dos ano70,com orquestra sinfônica e coral...meu amigo..nunca haverá um tecladista atemporal como ele,,único viva nossa juventude anos 60 e 70...
There's Alicia Keys, and then there's the piano rental shop "I'll Lease You Keys". Who has the money for that Rick rig? Wow the bloke makes Jean-Michel Jarre look laid-back.
I don't remember if I had the album or where I was when I first heard it but it transported me in my mind and I could SEE everything described. Thank you for taking me on the voyage!
I think the Wakeman era of Yes was some of the best prog rock ever made .... I am partial to the Wakeman trilogy of Journey , King Arthur & the Six Wives the most I think
A great example of how Rick Wakeman knows how to illuminate his masterpieces with ever new light! Definitively, he is the most creative and versatile keyboard player of all! :-) Absolute magic at min. 6:30. That keyboard sound at min. 15:25! And that improvisation at min. 15:45! Prog on! :-)
Better late than never ... vocals a MASSIVE improvement, in fact overall better than original. I have been buying and following you from the 1970's and still do. Keep it up. I have all your albums (LP's)
I know he will not read this, but thanks for loving and respecting my country when no other artist would come here. Thanks for 3 amazing performances that I saw, and for the ones fans before me saw.

Eu fui ve-lo no Rio de Janeiro . Anos 70 . Também vi o Jackson five e o genesis .
Eu vi no Maracanãzinho ❤😅
O jackson five foi no Maracanãzinho
Eu o vi no estádio da Portuguesa em São Paulo. Não tínhamos David Hemmkngs, mas tínhamos Paulo Autran.

Holy Mother of God, there will NEVER be another Rick Wakeman.
Amen.
Had the great pleasure of seeing this genius live in Northampton and he was as good live as any recording
The best. Mozart, Bach, Bethoven, Rick Wakeman genius 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I'm brazilian
e também Vangelis
I saw him decades ago in Toronto for the Six Wives of Henry VIII tour. He drank beer, told jokes and stories between the songs. Quite the entertaining evening!
Nostalgia pura, aos meus 13 anos ouvi esse gênio, viciei na música dele.
assisti esse show com orquestra, coral e narração de Pauo Autran, no ginásio da Portuguesa, na Marginal, 16 anos de idade PQP

*Bering* For pity's sake
If correct spelling and grammar was a requirement on Shemya, he woodn't have being ther wering an aire force uniform. What have you done for our country. Scilly count!
@@chocoriffic Looks like correct spelling and grammar aren't your requirement either... 😜
My buddy was stationed at Shemya AFB. Said it was the coldest place he’d ever been in his life.
It's not the end of the earth... but you can see it from there.

..
Been a fan for nearly 50 years,still pkay his music e veryday seen him live several times the music never ages but we do ....
I am always in AWE!!! The best keyboarder of All TIME!!! Anything he does is Amazing and will live on Forever!!!
Yes I agree he is in his own leauge..peace
He bought his first MOOG from a guy who sold it because “it only played one key at a time “ and Rick played millions of notes onward . Thank you Sir.
That guy is none other than Jack Wild, who you might know as the Artful Dodger in Oliver!
@@MrTheBaron Also from HR Pufnstuf Sadly now deceased. Died penniless in a squat. I have such fond memories of the guy.

People like Wakeman and Keith Emerson were not just musical virtuosos, they were part engineer too!
The first Moog was invented in Trumansburg, NY, USA. There is a historic placard in front of the building today.
Greatest keyboard player ever musical genius
Are you related to Jon Anderson of YES ? I remember when Rick was keys in YES
These guys are what u call musicians
My first ever concert in California, must have been 1974, was Wakeman at the Hollywood Bowl with the whole orchestra and choir on stage. Did the album live with dinosaur effects and all. It was something I will never forget. I must have been 13 or 14 years old. My 18 year old sister took me.

I was there!
@@yrh1gs Amazing show it was for the time. Today they would have dinosaurs on a screen via CGI.
Good old days.
Lucky dude !
I knew Rick when he recorded THIS album for the 1st time, in 1974. I was 15 years old and became a fan of his amazing work.
Well to be fair, it was pretentious drivel. The narration was great. This is much nicer.
I saw that show in Madison Square garden. One hell of a great time
So did I.
I think your mistaking ambitious with pretentious. It is a common mistake.
Me too. 1974= 15
The MASTER amazes once again! Rick thank you for years & years of music, I’ve seen you perform 3 times, all in the early 70’s...so far,
I saw him perform the whole album in Adelaide in 75? (I think), complete with gigantic inflatable dinosaur! At the interval he came out and said that he had a new album and was going to play it for us after the break. 6 Wives of Henry the 8th. What an amazing show! Will live with me forever. Thanks Rick!

Simply beautiful. Good times in that the music were wonderful.
Still my favorite my kids are in their forties and fifties and they love this music this is their favorite album it sure does have staying power
Ouvi esse som do Rick Wakeman nos anos 80 e não me canso de ouvir. Maravilhosa versão. Parabéns. Obrigado.
Sensacional demais mano
I saw him with the Houston Philharmonic orchestra and it was awesome! He is a masterful keyboardist and songwriter.Ill never forget it.😊
Em plena quarentena (2021) curtindo o som do maestro Rick. RIO DE JANEIRO - BRASIL .👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
na época eu tive o vinil ou uma k-7, não lembro, mas tive...rs
Saw him perform this at DAR Constitution Hall, DC in 1974, it was fantastic.

É camarada eu já cheguei aos (70)ainda curto muito essa música,;
Brilliant rendition, never get tired of this.

WOOOOAH, wakeman is a genius
Amo e faz parte da minha história, eu era uma criança e aprendi a apreciar com minha irmã oito anos mais velha que eu.
Pra mim é o rock progressivo melhor do mundo, minha paixão eterna ❤

Mas, aqui no Brasil temos Frank Aguiar, o cãozinho dos teclados.😂
It's just fantastic
Rick is just so talented
Sempre muito bom ouvir Ricky Wakeman.

Not just the size and pageantry, but watching Wakeman in his "fortress of keyboards". He would be playing one front of him, and a totally different part on a keyboard directly behind him, sight unseen 🤯
Rick very much inspired my keyboard journey! Never had a moog, but have a Kawai digital piano, I love! Thank you Rick and band Yess !
Wonderful to see you in full flight. Tripped over this gem saved.

NEKORA celta totalmente de acuerdo
OK.....Gracias
OK.....Gracias
gracias
I couldn't agree more !
Einfach nur eine Spitzenleistung. War für mich das beste Album von Rick.
Nothing beats RW's musicianship, it's like kind of impossible...
The best keyboardist ever
Piano classico
What about Jordan Rudess?
...beside Jon Lord, his good friend
Best keyboard player/composer in the modern age😊.
Amazing! One of the greatest musicians of all time
Rick's Talent continues unabated. This may not have been as elaborate as the original but again Rick makes it awesome.
Katherine Nicole DeLaO then again, he play this one on a synthesizer
Agreed! ✨🎹🎶
I think for what was on stage 4 musicians vs over 340 it was pretty elaborate but yeah the original was really something
tem partes lindíssimas, *masterfully sung!!* a great piece of MUSIC, thanks Rick Wakeman
O melhor tecladista de todos os tempos 👏👏👏
I saw this in person in Memphis Tenn first time out - never forgot it
A masterpiece to be appreciated for centuries to come! I mean it!
Só vim conhecer essa música em 1980, marcou minha adolescência. Até hoje me arrepio quando ouço
A combinação do teclado de Wakeman com a voz do Ashley Holt é fantástica.
Conheci nos 70 ❤
I saw him perform this album live in Dallas at SMU, oh the 70’s. Also excerpts from 6 Wives and other albums. Had an inflatable dragon.
WHERE does Rick find his drummers? They're all so GOOD! That kid he had in Cuba was AMAZING! ....well ALL _those_ musicians were insane! As the show was!

Thanks for this reimagined, stirring, visual upload on one of my favorite albums!
I think it's Ashley Holt, who was one of the 2 original singers, on this live version. His voice got better with age, I'd say...
This song is amazing,I come back to the seventies!
The man is a king among men and a true class act .
Agreed!
@@scivalesmusicbooks1977erafelis e não sabia
I used to have the original LP of this album with Wakeman wearing a bright white robe.
this was a concert that i wouldnt of missed it even if i was dead..Always and forever a fan
Genius! And Keith Emerson is wonderful singing! Thank you, Keith Emerson for singing ! RIP, Brother.
Ashley Holt .

Rick era do YES.
❤🔥An all time favourite classic rock masterpiece ♥️
It was my adolescence. Enchanting music capable of enchanting you. Then it has stalled on its sound. But the quality did it.

Still amazing.. I saw the original back in the day tripping my eyes out on acid.... that show was incredible.
This is music, no words!!
That singer's voice reminds me of Greg Lake's voice more than the voices typically heard from Yes singers. Nice to know that there's room for baritones, and maybe even bass singers.
+Mark Pettigrew That would had been nice combo, i always liked Lake's vocals. :)
vocal Alan parson
Ashley Holt
Good call, I would think Jon A would be better here but Greg Lake would be really awesome.
College, 1986, wore a groove into this double album. Nice, thank you for the upload.
Que excelente trabalho de Rock Wakeman, o mago dos teclados, este é insuperável, melhor tecladista de todos os tempos!
Rick Wakeman é um ícone da música clássica mundial! Pra mim não existe no mundo tecladista igual a ele.
concordo ! música linda!!!!
Só comparado aos grandes gênios como bach,Mozart, e outros...essa versão mais moderna ficou ótima, mas a original dos ano70,com orquestra sinfônica e coral...meu amigo..nunca haverá um tecladista atemporal como ele,,único viva nossa juventude anos 60 e 70...
I grew up with this amazing sound!!
A essência do teclado ...Number One Forever . Revolucionou o som e música , simplesmente ...!!!
El fragmento comprendido entre 15:45 y 17:20 es MAGIA en su máxima expresión y esencia.
Rick Wakeman THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
There's Alicia Keys, and then there's the piano rental shop "I'll Lease You Keys". Who has the money for that Rick rig? Wow the bloke makes Jean-Michel Jarre look laid-back.
Extraordinário vocal Ashey Holt. Como o Minimoog fez falta nessa época.
Wow, first time I've heard this version.....very powerful...Wakeman is a genius...and the singer (???), what a great voice!
Is that Alan Parsons?
The singer is Ashley Holt, who sang almost all of Wakeman's songs from the '70s through to his 2010 tour.
1975 in Toronto, Maple leaf gardens. There were not more than 1,000 of us there. Thanks Scott for this one.
i had the live album and played it many times which made me a fan of his
I don't remember if I had the album or where I was when I first heard it but it transported me in my mind and I could SEE everything described.
Thank you for taking me on the voyage!
Não me canso de ouvi lo diariamente.... E quase meu som p dormir......
Eu tambem. Sou fã do Rick desde pequena.
I think the Wakeman era of Yes was some of the best prog rock ever made .... I am partial to the Wakeman trilogy of Journey , King Arthur & the Six Wives the most I think
Great to see and hear this very special piece of music soon in London again.
I just scored a ticket to see him this week in St Paul Minnesota!
A great example of how Rick Wakeman knows how to illuminate his masterpieces with ever new light! Definitively, he is the most creative and versatile keyboard player of all! :-) Absolute magic at min. 6:30. That keyboard sound at min. 15:25! And that improvisation at min. 15:45! Prog on! :-)
I actually don't like the clav sound on the T1, but the brass sounds on the V50 and VFX are excellent.
Exceptional, Rick & Co.! I’ve seen him in Buenos Aires so many years ago!! A genius … playing so many different pianos! Love him!! 💕
Magnífico Rick Wakeman, ¡ya no se hace música de esta calidad...!
Explêndido, maravilhoso!
It was great and I liked it back then and it's still great. Well done.
Saw him live with the English rock ansamble at maple leaf gardens Toronto. Excellent ❤
He's the best. I saw the live version on TV in 1974.
Assisti o show em São Paulo em 1975, foi inesquecível, espetacular obra prima do rock progressivo.
A monumental work!
Tenho ainda vinil dele gravado ao vivo com a orquestra sinfonica de Londres !
Esse vinil eu tenho!Viajem ao centro da terra!Maravilha!Saudades
One could only image the power of Jim
Morrison's voice with these lyrics!!
Or his namesake Van?
Better late than never ... vocals a MASSIVE improvement, in fact overall better than original. I have been buying and following you from the 1970's and still do. Keep it up. I have all your albums (LP's)
Thank you Rick, It was wonderful... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My dad had the Album. I remember this! Thanks for sharing. 😎
