Classic Studio T proudly presents The Other Side Of Rick Wakeman, set for release on DVD in the UK on June 25th, Europe from June 29th and USA on August 28th 2007.

The Other Side Of Rick Wakeman is revealed in an up-close and uproarious stand-up performance, filmed live in front of a studio audience. The "Grumpy" rock legend, composer and raconteur exposes a host of hilarious anecdotes and unknown escapades experienced during his Rock 'n' Roll career, including the first rehearsals with Yes, his multi-marital life, amusing recording session memories, not least, his exposure in a Japanese toilet.



Wakeman explains his version of the "X-factor," he also brings to life the lost chord in the Yes classic "And You And I," and strides through a lifetime of outrageous memories including a demonstration of his first ever piece written on the Piano, aged just 5 and recalls his days working with seminal music legends David Bowie and Cat Stevens.

This brand new show also features classic material from The Strawbs, Yes and his hit solo albums, stripped back to their original form, performed by Rick on the Grand Piano. Filmed and Recorded at Classic T Stage, Shepperton Film Studios, England.
