Rick Wakeman's interest in music began at an early age and it was originally thought that a career as a classical pianist lay in store for Rick and a spell at the Royal College of Music would seem to support this theory However Rick Wakeman was in heavy demand playing sessions for some of the biggest names in pop music at this time (Late sixties/early seventies) and in this role played on many hit singles including records by Brotherhood Of Man, Cat Stevens, T.Rex and also played on the David Bowie single Space Oddity.
While playing sessions Rick was also briefly a member of the Strawbs and it was with this band that Rick first caught the attention of the band with whom he is most closely associated...Yes
Rick left the Strawbs following a well received live album (Just A Collection Of Antiques and Curios) and a studio album (From The Witchwood) and joined Yes in time to record the bands fourth album Fragile and the single from that album (Roundabout) went on to achieve great success in America.
It was in 1973 that Rick released his own debut solo album The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth. Rick decided to leave Yes following disagreements over the bands album Tales From Topographic Oceans and went solo full time recording his second album a musical interpretation of Jules Verne's Journey To The Centre Of The Earth.
With this album Rick became a bona fide superstar and recorded more themed albums including The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and The Knights Of The Round Table.
Returning to Yes in 1977 Rick managed to juggle both the responsibilities of a solo career and also his obligations to Yes although once again in 1979 Rick departed Yes for a solo career. Rick would return to Yes again on a number of occasions and at the time of writing is still a member of the premier British progressive rock band.
Filmed for a Rock television special in Sweden in 1980 this is a rare outing for Rick Wakeman and the English Rock Ensemble in the eighties. The band which included vocalist Ashley Holt and drummer Tony Fernandez (who are still with The English Rock Ensemble in 2008). This performance includes the songs Catherine Parr, The No Earthly Connection Medley, Anne Boleyn and the Journey To The Centre Of The Earth Medley. This DVD has previously been available as part of the boxed set The Rick Wakeman Video Vault.
