    Space Oddity performed by Rick Wakeman on his Live Portraits tour in 2018. Following the release of the 2017 studio album Piano Portraits, which was very well received and went Top 10 in the UK for several weeks, Rick has been touring “Live Portraits” to sell out audiences across the UK. As a lasting record Rick has decided to film and record a very special performance of “Live Portraits” at Lincoln Cathedral on 7th March 2018.

    Rick: Thank you, thank you, thank you... oh, and did I say thank you? You have filled my life with so many beautiful songs, and have been a key inspiration for my own musical adventure - we may likely never meet this side of heaven, but please know how much I appreciate you!

      I vaguely recall singing at Mont. St. Michel in France at 4 years old. I enjoyed the size of it of it more than Versailles beauty.Living in paris 59-61 Dad was US ARMY. Great history there on MSM.Plus we saw Notre Dame and again singing and its massive size,was a lot to try to take in.Then back to NYC 61-66.Then a three yr. tour between Bolivia(67-68),then Panama C. Z. 68-70 and so on till 74. A Very grateful Army Brat.Haha.Peace. Romans 8 first 3 verses gives me a Peace amidst the trouble, and the whole chapter changed David Suchet ; (Hercule Poirot), forever when he read it , Amazing story.

    One of the absolute best performance of an absolute Epic and immortal song ever created. Place is magical and piano sounds sooo good ! Chords progression at the end was just sweet as perfection but perfectly in line on what and why we used to love hear you play since always, Sir Wakeman.

    This and the Eleanor Rigby (which I believe was from the same performance) have a certain magic to them that just makes me feel so truly connected to that common musical thread that bonds, inspires, frustrates and tethers us as musicians. We need music but, I think that now, more than ever, music needs us.

  • @Marctull66
    @Marctull66 2 года назад +20

    I love it when Rick is at the grand piano, doing his own music or adapting some of his works with Yes, David Bowie, or Cat Stevens. I know he recorded several piano versions of this track, I must own at least two. Not this one, yet. It's special to record a piano in a cathedral, but with the right microphone setting it sounds really nice.

      Oh ! Yes, Julio, I had forgotten this, I bought this album not so long ago... I neglected Elton John for my whole youth but maybe 12 years ago I bought Yellow Brick Road, listened to a few others among the older albums, thne bought Blue Moves, and more recently "Madman" and I noticed his name. The tracks he plays on wear Rick's unmistakable mark.

    I'va always thought David Bowie had this melody from Nat King Cole version of Stardust. 🤔
    Someone had to break the melodic link and the ''memory of Stardust'' in it.
    Finally, Rick Wakeman gives it a new form, a new creation with his piano version wich is the new melodic reference to Bowie's song.
    I'm not a Bowie fan, never was, but this is a great piano piece, now.
    Thanks to Rick Wakeman.
    The graft produced a new tree.

    Rick WOW. DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ THESE BUT YOU ARE IN MY OPINION THE GREATEST MUSICIAN WHO HAS EVER LIVED ON EARTH. Been listening to you since I was a young teenager back in the very early 1970s. Never got to saw you till the yes Union tour. Was so disappointed that you were not at my first Yes concert relayer or drama or all the other ones to follow until Union. But when I saw you in Phoenix Arizona on August 30th 2018 at the celebrity theater I believe that's the date with Anderson and Rabin... The way you played synthesizer on roundabout I was immediately elevated and transformed into another universe happens every time I hear you play that riff. I'm a guitar player I love Steve Howe but I was so blessed by Trevor's attitude and so amazed at how well you could play with Trevor 3 years ago on the arw tour 2018. True I'm a guitar player not that much into listening to keyboards but you wow. Space oddity I remember when I found out that was you 15 or 20 years ago I was not surprised if it was not for you Rick David Bowie might not have made it as big as he did what you did on space oddity was mesmerizing no wonder Jon and Chris snatched you up... I love you Richard wakeman
