There's nothing better than a musical genius with a wicked sense of humor!

They couldn't even afford 8 octaves - LOL!

Poor Rick...only 5 octaves on the keyboard, no sustain petal & he left his cape at home! 😆 Yet, he did rise to the occasion!

Rick has a great sense of humor!

OMG! I did not know Rick had such a great sense of humor. I loved it. I could listen to him all day. God Bless you Rick Wakeman. You're an earthly gem.

I love his brittish sense of humor! He's not being a snob, its sarcasm. A great video, loved it!

I always figured Rick had a big ego because he’s so talented, but this guy is hilarious and so cool. Go Rick!!!

I never knew Wakeman was so hilarious. He's my all time favorite keyboardist but I didn't know the scope of his sense of humor until I saw this video.

I love Rick Wakeman!

"Heart of the Sunrise under my kilt!"

An incredible keyboardist, a wonderful human being. A faithful Christian with a humble heart. No Rick didn't pay me to say this....but he did say the check is in the mail.....

O my god not only is he the best musician of all time he is also one of the funniest. This video had me in stitches.

When he joined YES, they soared !

"It's often up to the gentleman to create the rhythmic flow, and 13/8's not good" had me falling out of my chair laughing

Rick makes playing keys look super easy, barely an inconvenience.

This, this is wonderful. Rick's cranium is filled to the brim with unrivalled talent, yet there's still room for brilliant wit and good humor. Like YES members in all their incarnations, he's a treasure.

Rick Wakeman is a brilliant musician and has an awesome sense of humor.

Rick has such a great sense of humor.

Love Wakeman! This bit was hilarious. I had the privilege and pleasure of having a drink or two with him in the early 80s. What a treat this video has been. Thank you!

Love him! Love the honesty about his drinking. I play the piano and I can't believe how fast he gets the request then plays the music. Genius.

Heart of the Sunrise under his kilt???........a tiny glockenspiel perhaps.....WHAHAHAAA

Genius is making it all look and sound effortless. His mind just as sharp as his fingers and his wit laced with wisdom

No 2nd mic, sustain pedal, or higher/ lower octaves " due to price cut.." The whole video is a laugh riot !

3 Blind Mice In 5 Keys was actually 🔥🔥🔥

Rick you're a legend. Thanks for your music man.

What a brilliant musician with a great sense of humour !

Haha, I love Rick ;) Not only is he a talented musician he has a great sharp & wicked wit - I'd love to go out with him for a night ;) I've said this all along, he really should still be on Planet Rock, he was a riot & never failed to do a great show-the naughtier the better;)

Looks like a badass, sounds like a badass, plays like a badass. Something tells me he's a badass. Wish I knew about this guy earlier. Didn't know about Yes until Rock Band 3's release, let alone Rick in the band.

He’s got such an amazing quick wit! It’s good to see such a serious musician have so much fun in life.

Great to see Rick sober, loving the Lord and at such peace with life. Fantastic!

I'm a Keith Emerson fan, but I'm not stupid...This is as good as it gets.

His speech at the rock hall of fame is hysterical

Wow, a great Pianist, and he has a real personality too! Clever & witty . Thank you for this interview.

HAhaha funniest interviewish video i've seen, soo good haha it's good to know he still rocking on and funny as always!

The funniest man in progressive rock! I still watch his speech from the RnR Induction ceremony!

Rick you are not only brilliant and talented, but enormously patient and hilarious. Just saw you on the ARW tour ... thank you and Jon and all the band. It was wondrous.

My parents bought me 6 wives album for Xmas and I was so exited about getting it and spent many happy hours listening to it. Thanks Rick, you are ace.

great sense of humour for one of the 3 best keyboard player of all times!!! thanks RICK WAKEMAN

You just cheered me up on a very bleak day. Always loved your work.

Rick - Just a total hero !!! - Love your Bowie Tributes !! Have been a fan since the early 70's!!

Wakeman - a legend, phenomenally talented and wickedly clever!

been following Rick since the Strawbs days, awesomely talented and graced with a great sense of humor.I would love to see you live again, part of my bucket list.

Brilliant ,Rick.... you never lose your touch, man .... ha ha.....!!

Absolutely wonderful Mr Wakeman! You appear as comfortable sitting for this silliness as I did watching. I've been a fan for 55+ years.

This is cracking me up! Rick - comedy and keyboard genius!

Yes (and Rick) belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Rick used to play Golf at Sandown Park in Esher Surrey. I worked there at the time and managed a "Hello Rick" he responded and was a down to earth Great Bloke! 😀👍🎶🎶

One of the 6 lives of Rick Wakeman, Glory boy, pensioner, one of the funiest of CRAZY horses, in contemptuous...I mean contemporary music today!!! Somebody now give him a fiver for the Cat Stevens ditty!

I hope there is a DVD produced of this concert as we won't be able to see it unless Rick is bringing his tour to Australia. Rick Wakeman is one of the worlds greatest musical genius', hope he never retires from music .... or telling jokes.

hahaha I love you Rick. Too bad, I don't live in England and it's the first time I see this video. I missed it. Thank you for all your music, it will stay forever in my heart and in my memories. I never saw you play live, but my brother did and he was able to hang out with you for a while backstage and that's as if I had lived it too. Thanks again Rick.✊

Rick, if the keyboard thing doesn't work out, maybe standup could be in your future.

What a great guy, i was lucky enough to hear him play last night, this man is amazing. I'm not a piano man, however i will be purchasing his albums. Also a very funny man.

Apparently I never knew Rick Wakeman! When I saw him back in the early 70s I saw him as the cape wearing wizard intellectual that was quiet spoke. I love this guy, he's hilarious!!

he is a great musician but his humour is great, too. it is great to see him this way

I saw Yes in the 1970's many times , All of them the best musicians I ever saw , Rick is just amazing , one of a kind. I've been playing 50 years , don't remember shit from my 20's , Rick remembers everything.

What an amazing musician, keyboard player and person... wow!

I had no idea he did "morning has broken" for Cat. wow wow wow, what a talent this man is!

God bless u Rick! Such a funny guy and a great musician!

I can't stop laughing at his jokes. He's brilliantly funny! Love it!

A student in Iasi, Romania, I first heard of Rick Wakeman in 1976. Ever since, his music has been part of my life. God bless him! He brought happiness to so many people.

what a brilliant man :) love his humour to bits

Truly one of the UK's Living Treasures. And long may he remain so.

I saw Wakeman and Anderson a while ago and Wakeman did a stand up comedy section and he was bloody hilarious. He could easily have been a comedian, but I'm glad he chose the path he did as we get the best of both worlds.

I met him a couple of years ago when he played Ipswich, what a funny bloke :)

Love how he rocks the ‘cheapo Novation’ 💚🎧🤦‍♀️ “they couldnt even afford eight octaves”

The bigger the genius, the more modest... This guy is so lovable!

Very satisfying clip. Rick is a living legend, and quite a funny guy as well.

Always loved his music, nice to see he's got a good sense of humor.

rick, that was a pleasure. of all the music i had at my disposal as a child, i ended up with the deepest sonic groove in my brain and in my soul being the album yes fragile. you did good on heart of the sunrise. i would have known otherwise. i am the god of fragile. stay cool and play on.

He's hilarious! opening Awaken piano bridge Heart of the Sunrise synth solo that bridges I get Up, I Get Down, to Seasons of Man

My favorite keyboardist of all time.. can't get much better..

david sharp... what if he marries beverlie flat... hahaha!

Funny man..I so enjoyed his show when he had a slot on Planet Rock

God bless him, he's a top man!

Excellent musician with a lot of sense of humor. He deserves a better keyboard next time, doesn't he? Greetings to the "Wizard of the Keyboards". Respect!

Brilliant and hilarious in equal measure, as only Rick Wakeman can be!

"Sorry, Lynn, but I'm missing Anne Boleyn's top..." Well, so is Anne Boleyn! :rimshot:

Just saw him solo at Solihull Arts Centre. Just him and a Yamaha Grand (and the audience) - really great ! He did Morning Has Broken (and some great anecdotes about this one, which still rankles), selections from King Arthur, Six Wives and (amongst many other pieces) Eleanor Rigby in the style of Prokofiev with a hilarious monologue between each one. He also did Life on Mars, or course and, between the notes, you could have heard a pin drop. Brilliant...

I Love Rick, he comes across as a great guy. Not to mention his playing with YES. Superb

Just loved Rick's stories...

What a legend, and so down to earth!

There was great rock bands, there was great musicians, then there was the genius who is Rick Walkman, thank you Rick. 👍🙂

This is hilarious! Love it~

loved it. A Walmart version of a MOOG. What an insult to Rick at least rent a decent set of keys. Rick looks great and never realized how funny a bloke he is. Talented..

Bloody Brilliant.....what a total star !!!!

He is so f-in amazing. A maestro for sure with a sense of humor that is contagious.

I have met Rick wakeman long ago here in Brazil and I had a very nice talk with him. He is a gentleman besides a musician genius. Greeting from Salvador Bahia Brazil

Beyond his musical talent, he's so funny!

He was incredible in 1975 when I saw him in Ypsilanti Michigan.

He has magic fingers, magic hands and loves the music he plays !

What a great bloke met him in Harrogate a few years ago and was even funnier off stage god bless you top man

Just got love Rick, his playing and humour. :)

I was fortunate enough to see Rick Wakeman a couple times with YES but never knew he was such a Funny man. Nice Job Mr. Wakeman, I Lover Your Music!!!

I'm amazed by hugely accomplished musicians. I love music and would love to know when Rick had his first piano lesson

This ist absolutely brilliant!

"only got seven people?" That will change now that Yes is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and stations are returning their attention to these wonderful musicians

He could've been a standup comedian but he had 'happy fingers'! Also he preferred sitting.

The ending. Nice Rick. Great plug... stay awake...

Indeed - ' A Musical Legend '.

He is always such a riot! Cheers Rick!
