This one and one video of Jordan Rudess are for me the greatest video of piano/synth virtuosi (is that english?)

But I have to say that Rick's solo is more coherent and fully played by his own, so I would place Rick's one on first place.

Btw, I don't want to start a battle here between Rick and Jordan.

I would say my top five keyboard players are: first Rick wakeman, and after that (not in any order): Emerson, Jon Lord, Jens Johansson(You should check out his fusion stuff from the 90s, pure awesome) and then of course Rudess
