‘Strawbs 40th Anniversary Celebration Vol 2: Rick Wakeman & Dave Cousins’, the second CD release from seminal British progressive rockers Strawbs’ 40th Anniversary concerts at Twickenham Stadium on September 12th and 13th 2009, is set for release on Witchwood Media, distributed by RSK Entertainment, on November 15th. On September 12th 2009 Rick Wakeman and Dave Cousins performed together on stage for the first time in 20 years when they played the final set on the first day of Strawbs’ historical 40th Anniversary Celebration weekend. This is only the second concert that Rick Wakeman and Dave Cousins have ever played together. It is the meeting of two master raconteurs, the world’s leading keyboard player, and one of Britain’s finest songwriters. “The high spot of the day came when Cousins and Rick Wakeman took the stage to close the show. It wasn’t just the music, although watching Wakeman at close quarters is an experience that everyone should have, but also the banter, the stories and the bad jokes that doubled the set’s advertised length. You couldn’t have followed them.” Check out the trailer here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ODHrKy19A Rick Wakeman joined Strawbs in 1970. Strawbs was his first professional band and proved to be the launch pad of his remarkable career. The first Strawbs album on which Rick made an appearance was ‘Dragonfly’. The next album , ‘Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios’, which turned Rick into a superstar, was the first UK chart entry for the band. The following album ‘From the Witchwood’ also charted, but by then Rick had left Strawbs to join Yes. DVD Bonus Features: |
