RICK WAKEMAN Live At The BBC Hux085 (2007)
Two CD set featuring Rick Wakeman and the English Rock Ensemble (who featured vocalist Ashley Holt) in concert back in 1976.
One set from Radio 1's 'In Concert' series and the other an 'Old Grey Whistle Test' recording. Set features an extended version of 'Catherine Howard' with its full guitar solo and Wakeman playing like a madman on 'Catherine Parr', one of my favourite Wakeman tracks.
The two set lists are similar bar 'Arthur' and 'The Forest' being only on the 'In Concert' disc. Both discs form a fitting snapshot of Rick Wakeman in his solo prime and also the final concerts with the English Rock Ensemble.
Very informative sleeve notes make for a 'must have' CD for fans of Rick Wakeman.
