June 15, 1974 23 www.americanradiohistory.com On January 18, 1974 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, Rick Wakeman gave the most spectacular concert of his career. With the London Symphony Or- chestra and the English Chamber Choir under David Measham, and English actor David Hemmings as narrator, Rick per- formed his interpretation of Jules Verne's classic fantasy, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth. ,.,: That remarkable concert is now an extraordinary recording.

That's true of anything ill-conceived. The greatest plans in the world are meaningless unless those plans are put into proper operative direction. Often too, failure may come about from neglecting to upgrade and stay with the times. What good is having a gangster lean when all four wheels are gone? It may still look great, but will you be able to move it? Now, it doesn't necesasrily take an army to move it. Replacing the wheels will put one in high gear. At the same time, it doesn't take an army to move an organization. Often one individual can do the job, or let's say, it takes bold in- spirational leadership working hand in glove with a few dedicated people. Those people who are sharing common needs and attempting to achieve the same goals, will put the wheels in motion. Many of us can recall leaders both past and present, who have displayed courage and quality. Outstanding individuals have graced the flow of history. Of course, leadership may be driven off course. This can happen with the self glorification attitude of the leader, or it may happen because of the irrespon- sible actions of close associates. At any rate, it is the leadership provided that makes or breaks a situation. But, the objective here is to say that leadership, using objective thinking and proper planning, does supply the energies to get anything off the ground. Surely, the project stands a much better chance of success. Know thyself and help and serve. Rewards do come.

Then there was a realization on Hall's part which was brought about when he He's cut three LPs for the label right now, all self -produced efforts that feature was asked to record. Hall did not care about being a performer. All he wanted was to musical virtuosity mixed with wit and intelligence; the material is varied, a write songs. But pretty soon he realized that he "Didn't care enough about being a conglomeration of his songs, other peoples' and a smattering of things marked performer to do other people's songs," so he decided to begin performing his own "traditional."

It took me a while to figure out that those lyric is indicative of his tenet for life, "I try to live for the moment," ergo the sense of bugs were beetles ..."and so on and so forth. immediacy and applicability of the situation makes it readily identifiable. There are no "I get a little tired of listening to people sing about their troubles exclusively," surreal images or pretentious garbage that fill his songs with a musical uselessness.

Hall and other country singers and writers are concerned with the real world and how But there's a serious side to Bromberg, and flippancy is absent when he discusses his it effects them and the world around them.
