      Greg's singing is about the only rock voice I can sing along to in my limited range. I have to edge into falsetto to sing along with almost everyone else, I guess because most of them are tenors, and I am a baritone. Except on this song! He can still hit much higher notes than me here.

They came to town in 1974, Keith Emerson and his Piano rose up off the stage and rotated forward, dipping and spinning Emerson in circular fashion...just unbelievable to see and describe! A really awesome show...around 50 years ago. You’re very correct, we were and still are, spoiled due to the volume of bands. ELP-Great!

    In the 60’s and early to mid 70’s, we just turned on the radio and the magic was right there. Then the corporate suits took over and by 1980, most the AOR (Album Oriented Rock) stations were gone, replaced by the “Formula Rock” Top 40 stations. The days ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Rush, etc and their 10-15 minute songs being played on the radio were gone; replaced by the hits from REO Speedwagon, Journey, Foreigner, Cheap Trick, etc. Not that those are bad bands with bad songs but they lacked the pure magic of songs like this one.

    Thanks for the shout out, guys! So glad you're checking out ELP. This song is so wonderful. I'm glad you both liked it! The opening harmonics are very reminiscent of the beginning of the song Roundabout from Yes which came out just one year prior. I wonder if that was Greg Lake tipping his hat? Maybe somebody here knows. In the meantime, some obligatory follow-up tracks: Lucky Man, the full Karn Evil 9 suite, Hoedown (adaptation of an Aaron Copeland piece), Fanfare for the Common Man (also by Copeland). There are many others, but this is a good start. Enjoy!

    ELP was my favorite band when I was in college. 1977 I saw them in concert 5 times. It was the year I graduated from college and I just happened to be in the cities where they were touring. They started the tour with a full symphony orchestra, but it got too expensive so by the end of the summer it was just the 3 of them. My favorite was Keith Emerson. I've always been a sucker for keyboards and Keith was classically trained, which comes through in a lot of their music. Karl Palmer was not a drummer, he was a percussionist. Truly amazing. I wasn't that keen on Greg Lake back in the day, and always thought him the weak link, but have changed my mind and come to appreciate him more as I grow older. It's so great to see another generation discover their music and help to keep it alive. Loved your reaction, and yes, you definitely need to check out more of their music..

    Yes, weren't we so lucky to be born in the 50's. I bought this album when it was released and still play it. The three guys were concert standard musicians. Greg Lake plays ALL the guitars and Carl Palmer is on percussion. The story goes that Keith wasn't in the studio when they were recording this so it was just Greg and Carl. Keith comes in and Greg says, the end needs some keyboards and Keith just come up with what you hear. Just simply stunning music and musicianship. Stay safe and Keep on Rocking.

    When we were teens, one of our friends had an older brother who had several reel to reel tape decks and a state of the art stereo system. He also had the entire basement lined with shelves from floor to ceiling with albums he had recorded in super high quality. At the time it was the best you could get in audio, and he would let us go down there and use it all from time to time. You can't even imagine listening to this music through Crown amps and huge Kilpsch monitors. It would go all the way through you body to your soul.and there were still thousand of records like this to explore for us. New stuff came out literally every week. It was a full time job just to give all the great music of the time a fair listen. 60's through the early 80's were a magical time.

My son is in his 40s and has no idea that I ELP was a part of my past. There was just sooooooooo much good music from that time in my life --- more than we late boomers could ever have had time to share with our kids -- especially because they were preoccupied with the music of their own time -- mostly rap and hip hop. I love the journey you're making, love making it with you. Also love your spoken commentaries because you're both so smart, sensitive and candid. Thanks for showing up!

      There’s a ton of great hip hop from the 1980s to today. The real problem with music since the 1980s is the record companies stopped allowing artists to experiment and take risks. Nowadays the great musicians and artists aren’t the big names, they’re on smaller labels and have niche audiences. You have to look for them but they’re there. It’s frustrating that this elitist attitude is pushed so hard in old rock comment sections. I love 60s and 70s music more than just about anyone but I refuse to close myself off to new musical developments

    • @guido5355
      @guido5355 3 роки тому

      It wasn't rap/hip-hop that started the decline it was what came after, namely the talentless canned music that still pervades the industry. Talent is not the barometer now in the industry it's only about how mush money. Same with the movie industry

    • @murdockreviews
      @murdockreviews 2 роки тому +1

      Rap is blamed unfairly for a lot. So is disco. And punk.
      I also think nowadays one has to make a more clear distinction between radio pop that is produced for the charts and created by executives, which ranges from bland to awful. And more indie/underground music which has plenty of great new stuff to discover, but is hardly brought to the attention of the average top 20-listener. Also, for many music does not have the same meaning and relevance it might have had in the 1960s and 70s. It's more something for quick consumption until the next hit comes along.
      And then honestly, 1970s prog wasn't exactly mainstream either, was it? For any act like ELP you had a bubblegum pop group, too. YES hardly registered in the charts during their 'classic years', and bands like Rush for a long time were playing to a niche audience.

    You guys really do an old man's heart good; I love first time listeners. Watching your reactions to this music I grew up with in the late '60's and early '70's is bittersweet: I'm extremely happy watching your reactions and seeing the joy I felt when I played my records---especially THIS one---so many times you could SEE through them. But I am sorry your current contemporary music scene is so devoid of this level of musicianship. It's not that I don't think there's talent out there today, it's just that a.) There's no live music scene (especially NOW) b.) Music is so fragmented all over the place, which leads to c.) You have no RADIO scene to introduce new sounds to the world like we had (AM radio)---JUST sounds. No damn videos. Videos are too distracting, unless they are live performances. You are right, correct here, touting 🎧 HEADPHONES 🎧 as THE way to experience these tunes the first time. You will make up videos in your mind to go with these sounds. Again, I'm an old man, 63, no kids of my own, and it makes me happy that this music will live on in the ears of younger people and not die with me along with my old records which will be shoved in the trash by whoever ransacks my apartment when I go. Stand by for a LOT of suggestions, y'all. You asked for it, lol!

The radio mostly played crap, albums were expensive to buy (at least for this working class kid) and of course there was no internet. As it happened, I had this album and I saw them live in '73, but there's still a whole lot from the period that I haven't got into, yet. Your dad will have been the same.

For my ninth Christmas I got one of those briefcase phonographs, where the top were the speakers that slip off the base and were themselves separate with 10 ft. of wire for each one. Oh and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, because my mother had asked my best friends older brother what he had played for me, because I was constantly talking about it, and I was hooked! Most of my friends thought I was weird because I was listening to Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, James Brown, Chicago Transit Authority and so on before I was 12!

    Great song, classic song...but, I would have to say that, by and large, this is not the usual style for ELP. They are much "bigger" in sound, usually. Big keyboards, drums and multi-part epics. Great band, don't get me wrong but, in the main, the are a Keyboard-driven band and it is extravagant, progressive style that they usually throw down. All good tho!
