Rick Wakeman — The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table

Former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman was recovering in hospital after a series of minor heart attacks when he remembered a trip to a castle in Cornwall long associated with Arthurian legend. Writing notes on paper, and humming musical themes into a cassette recorder, this studio concept album, his third, was the result of that convalescence. The first performances to support the album were done as ice shows, at the Empire Pool arena (next to Wembley Stadium).
