Thread: Rick Wakeman - Merlin Video

    Rick Wakeman - Merlin Video

    I can remember seeing a video once for Wakeman's Merlin from King Arthur.

    He is sat on top of a hill top with a wizards cape / hat - I cannot seem to find it anywhere on the web.

    Does anyone have a link to it?

    It's Success Story. Here's a link:

    IIRC. It was added as a bonus DVD for one of his remakes of King Arthur, but I can't find that detail.

    I prefer the version of Success Story where Entwistle is using his gold records as clay pigeons.

    Same here! That wizard hat is pretty sweet though.
