MUSIC NEWS - Eagle Rock Entertainment has announced the release of a live version of legendary rock keyboardist and ex-Yes
Rick Wakeman’s The Six Wives Of Henry VIII is one of the landmark prog rock albums
the seventies, a critical and commercial success that has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Back in May 2009, Wakeman finally achieved his long held dream of performing the entire album live at Hampton Court Palace. It was the first time the whole album had ever been performed in concert and included the Henry VIII track “Defender Of The Faith,” that had to be cut from the original album for space reasons, plus new opening and closing pieces. The two spectacular sell out concerts were a never to be repeated event, which give those not able to attend the ability to experience this epic performance.
The Six Wives Of Henry VIII release features extended live performances of Wakeman’s most popular album with the English Rock Ensemble accompanied by the Orchestra Europa and the English Chamber Choir with Brian Blessed as narrator. The release offers two hours of entertainment, as well as a behind the scenes feature with Rick, and also offers additional new tracks premiered at the concert. The DVD and Blu-ray versions come packaged in a deluxe slipcase with a reproduction of the concert program.
