2005, with the track returning with new instrumentation by the BBC News theme composer David Lowe for the corporation's 2019 United Kingdom general election coverage. Wembley ice show Wakeman wanted a unique show for King Arthur in England, his first UK shows since Crystal Palace, rather than a standard concert performance. An early idea of his was to perform the album at Tintagel Castle as part of a King Arthur Day event with a medieval pageant and jousting knights. Wakeman was informed the castle was unsuitable for concerts, so he suggested to his promoter, Harvey Goldsmith, the idea of staging the show in a field beside it with a large inflatable castle.

One show was filmed and broadcast on television. Production problems became manifest early on. When it was announced that horses would be part of the show, animal welfare groups demanded it be
