http://slepi.net/entry/stupefication_the_mythical_slipped-tongue_improvisation_in_rick_wakeman_journey Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:53:58 -0600 Three or four months ago, a friend of mine pointed out to me about a mistake in one of the most monumental music concerts ever performed, the inspiring Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Rick Wakeman in January 1974 at London's Royal Festival Hall. A strange word "stupefication" was invented and introduced (un)intentionally to public by (the late) David Hemmings, the one who read the narratives. (The whole performance was a combination of modern rock music, a full classical orchestra and choir, and a lengthy narration adapted from Jules Verne's famous 19th century novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth). This unique and rare mistake somehow has created its own story; no one knows for sure whether David Hemmings did it intentionally or not.

Actually I was thinking to write about that phonetic reversal of Stairway to Heaven, but I really didn't think that I could make it better than yours there :) Tue, 18 Mar 2008 06:57:18 -0500 http://slepi.net/entry/stupefication_the_mythical_slipped-tongue_improvisation_in_rick_wakeman_journey#response4 responses@slepi.net (Wiras Adi)
