Rick Wakeman

Before the live recording in Liverpool, Rick Wakeman had recently released the album 'A Piano Portraits' in 2017, which showcased his deep affinity for the piano and a more intimate side of his musical repertoire. This album had been well-received, demonstrating his ability to reinvent classic pieces through a fresh lens. Having made a name for himself with bands like Yes, Wakeman's solo career has been marked by intricate compositions and theatrical performances. By the time of the 2022 concert, he had also integrated storytelling into his shows, reflecting a more engaging personality that resonates with audiences. His tales of life on the road are as entertaining as the music, and fans eagerly await his witty anecdotes just as much as his legendary keyboard skills.
