I can't believe I'm hearing this some 30 plus years later after I heard it in college. C'est magnifique. Incroyable! Uno de mis discos favritos! Molto bene! Perhaps its just my anglophile nature.
We used to always listen to this on a portable cassette player when we were night fishing after we had been down the pub,village life how it takes me back,its funny you don't realise at the time that these are the days of your life.
Wakeman originally wanted to record Journey in a studio, but it was too expensive for him and the orchestra, that's why they had to record live. After 39 he is finally able to give us this version of the Journey masterpiece: And it was worth it. Epic.
Siempre recordaré la primera vez que oí la grabación del disco original en mi recién comprado Walkman, 1977, todavía lo tripeo y hasta se me salen las lágrimas. Eterno Rick. Gracias
Boas noites a todos deste espaço, com enorme satisfação após mais de 40 anos poder escutar tão grandiosa obra do rock mundial e com enorme prazer que dedico estas poucas letras de agradecimento por tão grandeza, muito obrigado. Guillermo Chileno Vivendo em Brasil a mais de 30 anos.
Ohhhh! What a Delightful Treat To put the day & work aside and wander to The Centre of the Earth accompanied by the music of the one and only Rick Wakeman.
I have lessened to this every year from the beginning in the 70s to the present this is truly a classic. Mr Rick Wakeman thank you for this wonderful rendition of Journey to the center of the earth . As a child I love the story I remember watching a cartoon of the story as a child as well on local TV in America always had a fascination for Journey . Thank you for adding this to music it’s as good as it was from the beginning. A timeless classic.
I love both the 1974 and the 2012 "Journey". This is proof that "Journey" is more than a mere work of art. It has a "life" all its own. A real "what if" realized. Can you imagine what could have been the result of Jimi Hendrix surviving and continuing his work instead of dying as he did, and musically connecting with Prince and some others?
This album is just jaw-droppingly genius. I love that this studio version is far different than the live versions. It was like rediscovering the album for me.
Rick Wakeman fez um show em Recife, capital de Pernambuco nos anos 80. Eu era criança e não entendia muito bem de música mas meus irmãos já eram bem mais velhos e foram ao show. Anos depois, achei esse disco original em casa, só aí fui entender a paixão dos meus irmão por esse disco. Até hoje sou fã do Rick Wakeman.
HACE 5 AÑOS QUE LO ESCUCHÉ POR PRIMERA VEZ. CADAVEZ QUE LA HE VUELTO A ESCUCHAR HE ENCONTRADO ALGO NUEVO EN ELLA. CON ELLA HAN CRECIDO MIS HIJOS. ES LA MÚSICA DE MI VIDA.
Used to sit and listen to the LP in my bedroom so often as an teenager. I think I preferred the raw sound of the live recording but it's great to hear this again!
it's a storey it flows on its magic to listen in the dark.you can be there with them if u shut your eyes Rick wakeman should be knighted and put up with the likes of Mozart Bach Beethoven
Lo tengo en vinilo LP y algo cascadito la verdad, gracias por bajarlo y poder compartir. Otros tiempos y otras músicas que todavía las podemos disfrutar
cerré mis ojos y sentí el arte musical así y todas las artes cuando los volví a abrir ........ya lo demás no era lo mismo eran los maravillosos 70 hoy ya en el año 2017 DC. la sensación es la misma
When I listen to this - I find it almost incomprehensible that every note played - by each and every member of the orchestra - including himself - and all the lyrics to all the songs . . . came out of the head of one person not yet 25 yrs old. When most of us had not even finished our educations, and were still partying hearty on the weekends . . . RW had done this and staged it and recorded it. It absolutely staggers the imagination.
I think the 1974 original just has the edge on this second version, as good as this one is. I might be a little biased as I was at the recording (The second show of two on the day) at the Royal Festival Hall back in January 1974. The whole evening was fantastic and even a prog rock sceptic friend of mine thought it a great concert. One of your best Mr Wakeman !

RIP Gary Pickford Hopkins, but Rick could/should have got Jon Anderson to do the vocals, that is why he chose Gary Pickford Hopkins whose voice was similar in tone and timbre.
Saw Rick do this in full in concert in Adelaide Sth Australia in 1973? The 2nd half of the show was his complete new album 6 wives of Henry VIII. What an amazing show, including the giant blow up dinosaur. Ah....70's stage effects. Brilliant show though.
To dragoncrashhero: I agree with your comments. It's nice to get to hear more clearly certain things he did in 1974 and I'm glad he got to fulfill his original desire, but as well I am a purist and prefer the original that I grew up with.
+killercorncob1995 Gee. You must be a pharmacology major... either that or you're some junior smartass who wasn't even born when acid was acid. Nice try kid. No cigar.
My favorite version will always be the version from the siney meyer bowl which was on ABCs In Concert series. It was simulcast on our local FM station WRIF. I realized this was an oppurtunity to get this "album" for free and recorded it. Months later, I borroed the album version from a friend to compare the two and hated it. The narrator put no feeling into it. I think the version that I love and grew up with is available on Amazon. Damn. Looks like I'm going to have to pay for it after all.
But I have not been able to find it. I have bought 2 different DVDs and one CD, hoping they were it. I played that tape hundred of times, so I had it memorized. The 3 versions I have are not that concert. I've been concentrating lately on Keith Emerson's music, but I think I'm going to start looking again. This version is almost as bad as the album version. Again, a very boring narrater.

As a 13 yeard old fixated on this album in the 70 's , thanks for the "out of the box" original rock opera brilliance.
I had the good fortune of seeing this concert, 1974
The Spectrum in Philly.
The Glasgow show was awesome!!!! Loved the whole show:-) singers, musicians, band and orchestra plus the Maestro himself Rick Wakeman.Bravo!!.
Nada que ver con la versión original, incomparable.
Simplesmente uma Obra-Prima !!!!
Obra prima musical de toda humanidade. The best.
Junior Besouro juntamente com Jarre e o Vangelis os melhores.
Eu ainda tenho o vinil! (e como tocá-lo)

I've been to Rick's concert in last year. He played the music by piano solo. I would like to listen " King Arthur" with full orchestra in my life.
esse álbum é clássico, inesquecível.
Master piece... thank you mr wakeman
Ahhhh, the 70s and the days of AOR format FM radio.
Thanks for sharing this.
Muito bom de ouvir, boas recordações.

amazing ¡¡
I miss the original voices/singers :(
Me too. Can't find one with the original singers at all. This version isn't as good.
+Jay Landers if you search if think you cand find it in 4shared to download

He is the king 🎹
Epic...
a great masterpiece remembering my fourteen YO

nada que ver con el original
I REMEMBER EATING ALOT OF ACID TO THIS.
+jeff warren If you remember, it must not have been acid.
+Mark Hall I remember exactly the way the colors tasted in 1968. I just find my damn keys.
+Larry Beckham I remember that 3 smelled like cardamom and 6 tasted like chives. My altimeter is still busted too.
+Mark Hall if they smelt/tasted like anything then what you got certainly wasnt acid. Acid is odourless and tasteless. Dumb fuck
+killercorncob1995 Gee. You must be a pharmacology major... either that or you're some junior smartass who wasn't even born when acid was acid. Nice try kid. No cigar.
grande grande RICK arrangiamento favoloso bravi
Boa versão, mas quanto mais ouço esta, mais dá vontade de ouvir a original.
My favorite version will always be the version from the siney meyer bowl which was on ABCs In Concert series. It was simulcast on our local FM station WRIF. I realized this was an oppurtunity to get this "album" for free and recorded it. Months later, I borroed the album version from a friend to compare the two and hated it. The narrator put no feeling into it. I think the version that I love and grew up with is available on Amazon. Damn. Looks like I'm going to have to pay for it after all.
But I have not been able to find it. I have bought 2 different DVDs and one CD, hoping they were it. I played that tape hundred of times, so I had it memorized. The 3 versions I have are not that concert. I've been concentrating lately on Keith Emerson's music, but I think I'm going to start looking again. This version is almost as bad as the album version. Again, a very boring narrater.
Great Rick retorn to play to Spain
Where do I can find the scores (sheets) for this music? (symphonic)
Alberto LOTITO in Rick's head you will find it
