Wakeman toured '' King Arthur '' with an augmented formation of the English Rock Ensemble for three months from October 1975 , across North and South America . The tour marked his first association with new drummer Tony Fernandez who would perform on many of Wakeman 's future albums and tours . During its stop in Rio de Janeiro , Wakeman met Ronnie Biggs , one of those involved in the 1963 Great Train Robbery . The two went drinking , played football , and exchanged a gift of shirts , including one that Biggs allegedly wore during the robbery . In late 1975 , Wakeman composed the soundtrack for '' Lisztomania '' , a biography film about composer Franz Liszt written and directed by Ken Russell . Wakeman appears in the film as Thor , the god of thunder . A few years later , he recalled the album in a more negative light as " there was hardly anything of mine on it in the end " , and criticised its mixing and production
