Adam Wakeman with the Strawbs Rick's Tour Dates |
Some of you may remember that I went to England in August 1998 to see the big 30th anniversary gig by the Strawbs. This was the ultimate anniversary gig, with virtually all of the past members performing in various combinations. (Wouldn't you like to see something like that for Yes?) Rick Wakeman was sick, but his son Adam took his place for part of the show. Here is one photo of him at the gig:

This is one of the photos on a page dedicated to the event:

If you look at some of the other photos, I believe that you can see me taking photos from the side of the stage! I'm not positive though. If anyone thinks they see me, let me know which photo!
I got the following info from www.rwcc.com:
