What a great documentary. Thank you Rick .You are a wonderful narrator!

Mr. Wakeman, you are a great story-teller! I loved learning about Vivaldi's story through your Journey. Thanks só much! God bless you.

Some of those instruments in that wee museum in Venice are mind blowingly interesting, cellos with six strings and frets (viol de gamba) and strange open holed flutes etc. really just the renaissance-baroque variations of instruments of the time before standardisation.

Only a master musician like Rick Wakeman could make a comprehensible and such an interesting investigative program about a Rock Star like the RED PRIEST Vivaldi. Only wish I could listen the whole interpretation of the 4 seasons by Rick.

I can honestly say that that's the first time I've enjoyed anything related to Vivaldi for 30 years. Back in the early '90s we made the mistake of paying IBM for support line access for their OS/2 operating system. The way it worked was that the call was answered by a recording of The Four Seasons' "Spring", progressed to about mid-June, and abruptly jumped back to the start. Eventually you might get through to somebody who was of some marginal use, but most often their response was that to address the problem you needed to purchase a higher level of support. Every since then, whenever I've heard The Four Seasons, I've cringed. So, thanks Rick. Pax vobiscum.

RW is a gifted narrator. Surprised that he and the librarian are not using gloves and/or masks at 34:22 when examining the (almost) original scores.

This was awesome Rick I agree you need a Musical History Show on The History Channel a lot of people here in The US need to be taught of great music like YES’s or your great composition’s, thank-you Rick like YES you are THE BEST!!

Well, Mr. Wakeman, I guess you'll just have to "picture yourself in boat on a river" ... :-) while waiting for the next two hundred years to find out how people of the future will listen to your already classic Journey To The Center Of The Earth, your very own modern storytelling adventure and tribute to Jules Verne's work :-)

What a wonderful doco from such a talented funny musician who i was lucky enough to meet in Brisbane Australia in the 80s after an intimate concert at a pub. Signed an Album. Play on Rick❤

🪐🥂BRAVO!!!

This is brilliant. Why no comments ?? Cant say that Im partial to RWs music either but `crap` is a bit too far. I would however like to spend a few hours in the pub with him. Hes a great character.

Grandissimi!!!

St. Marko and the whole of Venice stand on the stumps of felled trees on the Croatian mountain Velebit. When the Croats arrived in the 7th century, a powerful nation was recognized by the Pope as the defender of Christianity. . there was no more to cut. It would be if the wrestlers gave. so much to know!

Nigel Kennedy's "4 seasons" is just great

How to change the Stones into a Deep Purple-ish style, with Wakeman's touch.

bRavoooo BOSS!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤣🤣💥🥰👏🥰🥰🥰🥰💥💥🫡🫡🫡🤩🤩🫡🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🙏

How sad. I remember when this dear man said he had given his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Sadly his conversion was not real - and now there is only a fearful hope of a lost eternity for him. How miserable and bloated he now looks ... "without hope and without God in the world." Please repent Rick before it is too late.

Everything Rick says is essential to me. He's huge, no matter if as a musician, comedian or even history teacher... always enriching my world. Thank you, Rick!

Thank you so much Mr. Wakeman.

Who was he playing with here?

YES‼🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fantastic to see this concert back on KZbin

The iconic and masterful Rick Wakeman with an amazing accompaniment. Thanks Rick for all the musical journeys you have taken us on.

Rics a natural at this stuff.

Gloria -- one of my favorites.

This documentary is fantastic!

Is this Rick's son? We saw him play with Yes at Humphreys By the Sea in San Diego, maybe 2008 or 9? I loved seeing his long hair, and he was keeping up pretty well (as far as I could tell imho) with songs like Close to the Edge and Siberian Khatru. I was working on the gig and got to stay for the show. Praying for favor and success for Rick and now Adam!

That is soooooooo 😎😎 Mr Rick 👍

Extraordinary

Thank you for uploading this show to KZbin again. It hasn't been on here for many years! Do you have Luna Park 1981?

Mesmerizing

Nooooooooo! I want to hear Elenor Rigby in the style of Prokovief 😁

8:12. “I think so.” 😄😁🤣 Love your humor Rick.

Amazing! Thanks Rick.

Thats gotta be some rare footage. Great that it's found, you wizard of the keys!! I've enjoyed your work since the early 70's, I think I was perhaps 14, with Yes, but especially Journey - still have the vinyl. Thanks so mu h for sharing your talent with us all these years.

Thank you, Rick, for a wonderful start to my morning. This is quite something to wake up to.

hoy todo un maestro

Excellent piece here, Rick. For me, this was like watching one musical genius talking about another.

Long live Rick Wakeman

Oh gosh, I loved every second of this!

when i was a kid ,i went to the institute of music to learn guitar ,with classical music ,then after i changed to the RB music, but when i heard Rick wakeman and Steve Howe in 1972, i went back to the classical music , Rick wakeman inspired many musicians , and he is the right person for this Documentary

Saw the 1984 tour. Rick sat on the stage edge between tracks and told hilarious stories. A great night !

Rick Wakeman : he just keybord player he introduce us to know ;four season, of Antonio Vilaldi ;

He is such a nice person, and a great musician.

Absolutely freakin Amazin

Albinoni

Rick's playing is second to none.

55 años escuchandolo. Amo a Rick Wakeman.

Que pena tener a uno de los mejores musicos del mundo en un programa y preguntarle pelotudeces, realmente que pena.

I have been listening to this genius for fifty years and wish I could do fifty years more.
