A conversation with The Wizard of Prog, Rick Wakeman – 744

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Doug Curran and Jeffrey Crecelius

This is a very important episode for the YMP. After 15 years we have managed to speak to the Wizard of Prog. Thanks to Doug Curran, Mark Lang and Oliver Wakeman who we spoke to last week, it was a privilege and a pleasure to welcome Rick onto the show. Mark and I took the opportunity to ask him all sorts of things and he was very generous with his time. The result is a wide-ranging and fascinating conversation with plenty of hilarity, of course.

  • Why did Rick decide Yes was the band for him?
  • What was the inspiration behind the 2 Red Planet albums?
  • What’s Rick doing at Brand’s Hatch with a sticker on his jacket?
