Hollywood Avalon, Episode 27 – King Arthur on Ice (1975)

The Hollywood Avalon logo, a drawing a green hill with stone steps leading up to a castle tower, with Hollywood Avalon written on the hill and Mary vs the Movies written against a colorful sky.

Rick Wakeman’s infamous prog rock ballet was captured on video tape, and thank God. While the majority of incidents have been edited out–one skater losing her top, another unable to pull the sword from the stone, still another being a knight who has to fall on his own sword due to a lack of choreography–there’s still plenty of baffling choices being backed here by Wakemans’ attempt at a modern rock show about the legendary Once and Future King.

A person with long golden hair faces a keyboard or something like it. I want to make a Tori Amos joke because she, too, would wear a top that might be glittery or might be chain mail.
