Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Centre of the Earth (Live in Concert)

Summary: An unfortunate disappointment
Review: When this DVD/CD combo arrived I was really excited. I have the reissue of the original live London concert. However, once I had it in the player my heart sank. The video quality is mediocre at best. Well, I thought, it is twenty-plus years old so maybe the audio will make up for it. Not so. It's not even in stereo! Why bother to go to the expense of making a live recording of what was then a superstar and not do a good job? For those who just want to collect a view of Rick Wakeman in his prime, this will add to your collection. For the rest of you....save your money.

Summary: A documentary and nothing else
Review: With so many exciting musical explorations in the 70's, it is disappointing to come across this Wakeman's DVD. This is raw material for a documentary that should be sold in VHS format and for much less. Wakeman is an exceptional musician, and his longing for perfection is hardly recognizable in this product. Stay, and literally dream, with the original CD.
