Great Show
Full disclaimer: huge fan. That said, thought it was a great show. Had never purchased a meet and greet package, that was a lot of fun - Rick answered everyone's questions very eloquently, and when his assistant came around and said the Q&A portion of the show was over, they needed to move on to autograph signings Rick shooed the guy away, saying there were a few more questions people had, and patiently answered them.

Musically Entertaining and Hilarious
This is my first Rick Wakeman concert attendance, having been a Yes fan since the mid-80's!
As expected, based on what I have previously watched and enjoyed on DVD, Wakeman has once again delivered without fault. His virtuosity behind the piano still amazes me after listening to his music over the decades - some 70+ albums that he has released, most of them highly underrated.
Between his musical pieces, the anecdotes that he shares with his audience is always refreshing, humorous and well articulated. I have not yet heard him repeat any of his hilarious stories, so this show also has that element of originality!
A definite recommendation if you need to escape for the evening and enjoy an outing of musical splendour mixed with a decent amount of humour. ... Read more
