Movie Reviews of Rick Wakeman: The Other Side of Rick Wakeman
Movie Review: This is Wakeman in the Raw
Summary: 5 Stars
I was fortunate to see this tour on it's American side at a place called the Keswick Theater in Glenside PA. Rick was late and he apologized and gave a great show. This DVD is mostly the same exact show I seen. Rick normally prepares the show with his jokes and stories and does leave room for a bit of improvisation with the audience so I believe it worked extreemly well.
One of the main highlights for me was the alternate chord rendition of the Yes song, "And You and I". It was absolutely haunting, but the bandmembers didn't agree to this rendition. Also, during this tour, Rick did not travel with a Piano, but rented them at each show or used the venue's standard piano. At the Keswick Theater, he actually played the old Classic Organ and and it was brilliant. He had did a similar thing at Radio City Music Hall in NYC during Yes's show.
Rick is still detatched from Yes. He never has been trully integrated with them for long period of times because of his side projects and probably just the need to recharge his creative outlet. At the time of making this video, Rick had mentioned he no longer wishes to travel extensively anymore and wants to limit himself to 20-25 performances per year, so who knows if this means a final end with Yes who are gearing up for a world tour later in 2008. There are still questions if he will tour with them.
I recommend this DVD highly. It is definitly Rick in the Raw. Just himself, a Microphone and a Piano. He has enormous wit, musicianship, and always a pleasure to see him perform.
