Rick's the best freakin' keyboardist in the world. Period.

1. I haven't thought of that much less listened to that in years.

In high school we use to get stoned to the bone and listen to that way back in the 70's. Saw Yes 5 times but Rick was with them only one of those times. With his huge horseshoe of keyboards and his cape, man he was a sight to behold.

Thanks I'm going to check out your link right now.

3. And he still wears his cape

:wow:

15. I've got it as well.

Less the mint condition part.

16. Same here

It's down the basement sitting next to the turntable. I used to love listening to it with the headphones on, lying on my bed in the dark. Ah, those were the days - no 4 year old screaming "mommy" every 32 and a half seconds.

7. Dayum, that's old!

Played on something like this, no doubt...

9. I want one of those! I think the album came out in 1972 but the picture on the cover

looks like it was taken in some enormous cavern and everyone is dressed in Shakespearean-era outfits.

6. Arnie Saccnuson !!!!

10. I'll have to watch it later, thanks for the link. I listen to Rick Wakeman

all the time. Do you know how hard it was to get "The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" to fit on a cassette lable?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

11. Yes, I remember cassettes!

I remember how they tried so hard to limit the quality when the new tape technology broke out- even then they were trying to control the music!

It all seems as silly now as it did back then...

12. Correction...second best.

14. ----

13. Nothing like "King Arthur on Ice," though.

That's certainly a must-have for any Wakeman fan. :)
