First released in 1994, this set revisits that golden run in front of an Argentine audience, proving the music was never only meant for the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eight performances lean into the epic. Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr return from the Six Wives suite with their racing runs and regal flourishes intact, while the King Arthur material unfolds in a long, dramatic sweep that gives each side room to breathe. Wakeman also has fun with other people's songs, reworking Eleanor Rigby and Paint It Black for his wall of keyboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLure of the Wild and Past and Present round out a set that moves easily between bombast and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor progressive rock fans, this is a vivid snapshot of a keyboard virtuoso doing what he always did best: playing to the back row.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57349243699505,"sku":"889466762611","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Rick_Wakeman-The_Stage_Collection_2LP_Blue.jpg?v=1793956989","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/rick-wakeman-the-stage-collection-2lp-blue","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
