I suspect RW pretty much passed me by since by the time I was aware of him he was (IIRC) in Yes's later years, who weren't my 'young and angry' cup of tea at the time And that being such, there was no reason to consider the Yes line-up and start digging backwards looking for gold.
Looking at his Wiki entry is just amazing, really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Wakeman From how he made it so young. To how his discography includes 90 solo albums: ***90***!
I started playing 'Six Wives' and immediately realised that I need to allot it time for more than casual listening. [At 2:00 I was wondering if he's channelling Joe Cockers 'Let's get stoned'... ]
Hopefully I'll have time to give it a full spin later today...

I just meant.... the timing is slightly unorthodox, and I need to x-ref to the original (any early version, rather than a k-box lyric-less cover) to mentally karaoke the lyrics into the lyric-less version.Brah wrote:Never heard that, it's a great version, though I don't think it's the original but surely an early live of it because they still had the spark.
Don't so many of them.... [sigh]Brah wrote:Pretty sad actually, how good they were at that point, before Crosby, who sounds great here, got so messed up on drugs.
Thanks, I'll have to check that out further, and your other suggestions....Brah wrote:Around the same time, Stills' band Manassas,
Enya is like a candy. It's not real food. Sounds like cliche sh*t but it comes down to that and I like candies from time to time. Actually you another favourite (IIRC), I think they could have came up with something if they were given more time...Brah wrote:I was with you on your last few posts up to the Enya thing and the bizarre first Moodies choice, which I never heard of despite being well into them back in the day.
