This CD encapsulates much of a unique concert that happened in Corby on the 21st of March 2000 at the Festival Hall, which is now sadly closed. Rick had arrived in Corby in great anticipation of a full house, (he had played there on more than a dozen occasions and had always sold out), and was in a buoyant mood.

This mood soon changed upon being told that the hall was closing in a few days and in fact they had not bothered to advertise the show as most people in Corby thought that the theatre was already closed.

This culminated in the lowest attendance at a UK concert of 86, most of whom were real diehard members of the fan-club, (the Rick Wakeman Communication Centre), and came to most shows around the country.

Rick came on stage and started the show in less than joyous mode being both furious with the agent as well as the promoter of the hall, (who was not even there).

Less than one minute into the opening chat Rick noticed that one of the audience in the front row, (most of the audience were in fact in the front row), was a dog. A West Highland Terrier to be exact.

What then happened has gone down in the annuls of "Wakeman Folklore" along with such classics as the eating of a curry on stage during a YES concert and the King Arthur Ice Shows.

Rick did the entire performance for this dog, (whose name was Oscar), and every story was told for him and every piece was played for him, culminating in the most unusual of encores, "How Much Is That Doggy In The Window", performed in a very classical style!

Luckily the sound engineer, Ian Barfoot, had the presence of mind to realise that this could well be a special evening, and he put the mini-disk player into record, and on this CD are the edited highlights, (as they say in the football world of television).
