HOLY MOLY! Emerson, Lake, & Palmer just shared this video on their official FB site! I am beyond flattered and grateful! Check it out! ⬇️ facebook.com/share/v/Lq3MHTVD3wtVZF4B/?mibextid=WC7FNe
I've enjoyed Emerson Lake & Palmer for 45 years and consider them gods of Progressive Rock. I thought that their music could not be duplicated. But yet, what sorcery is this??? Awesome music here Dave.
OMG, I absolutely love this song, and this is hands down the BEST cover version I have seen anywhere!!! Your vocal is outstanding, and your guitar work in all 5 guitars is so darn HOT, and the percussion is perfect too! I love the electric guitar you used for the bridge part from 2:16, and the one at 3:07 is great looking too. Extraordinary work, Dave!!! You are one of the top best one-man bands on UA-cam, and definitely my favorite one! ~~Kim
@@DaveRucci I've love ELP since the early 70's. Last time I saw Keith and Greg was on their mini tour in 2010. 49 years ago I worked their Dec 17&18 1973 shows at Madison Sq Garden. Back then working a show you cold sit back and enjoy them. BTW the shows were done in Quad Sound.
Absolutely superb rendition of this song, Dave! From the instrumentation to the vocals to the instrumentation again, absolutely superb. Well done, chap!
Great job. One of my favorite bands of the 70's. Met Keith in 77 as he was launching his boat to go water skiing at a facility in Bay Pines Fl, a day after their concert.
Well done, Dave. You are an excellent multi-instrumentalist. This song by Greg Lake has such simple and resonant lyrics that has been pleasing listeners for decades and remains one of the most covered songs. This is one of the best cover versions I've had the pleasure to experience.
I adore Greg Lake and I love this song. Brilliant guitar, excellent finger picking. Fantastic music, especially the percussion. Excellent vocal performance!! I love Emerson Lake and Palmer and all of Greg Lake's songs especially "C'est la vie, sage and his Christmas song!! Big Like ..... Lorraine 🤗👍🏻
Cool Lorraine! Yea Greg Lake was such a talent! I’m considering doing his Father Christmas song this year. I think maybe you sang that on your channel over one of the last holidays? Thanks so much for your support! 🙌🏻
@@DaveRucci Oh, please do his Father Christmas song .... it is so beautiful and I know you will do it justice in your own inimitable way. I struggled as a woman singing it. He was a lovely man as well as an extremely talented one ... he truly cared about the important things in life. Lorraine 👋🤗
Dave. I love what you do, it is so elegant and stylish...your video work and skills of playing the acoustic guitar, is such a joy, ..You make great videos, you have a creative mind to, make them.. so worth watching..
Oh, you played this soooo beautiful Dave ! And GREAT singing ! I remember ELP very well :-)) Fantastic cover ! Big thumbs up my friend ! Best wishes, Karen :-)
Depois de ver o som do ELP. A pedra (seixo) na água, deslizando nos acordes e voz do Greg Lake, e a brilhante execução da guitarra espanhola, dizer o que ? Falar o que ? É chover no molhado. RIP GREG LAKE, estamos órfãos da sua música 🎶.
What a great piece of multi-instrumental + singing work. Nice touch with the first synth solo on the electric. I found this helpful, too as I'm learning to play the song.
Dave Rucci i cant get over this. I play and sing this 6 days a week off on sunday...ie...a lot and im sitting in from now on to syay this clean and enjoyable with this song. Once again great talent
I have listened to some of your other recordings and don't know why you are not more known to people who appreciate great talent. You are a joy to listen to and watch and hope for the best for you!!
Bravo, Signor Virtuoso! . . . Bravissimo! I wish (for several reasons) that my husband, who was a prog-rock-solid prog rock fan and a pianist, were still here to experience this. For that matter, I wish Keith and Greg were too. Thank you for your exquisite talent, skill, and artistry. 🏆
Wow that's fantastic. The acoustic and the guitar solo are spot on. If you ever get bored, a video lesson on the acoustic part would be great :) How can anyone give you a thumbs down is beyond comprehension! Bravo.
A very wonderful cover of a very beautiful Greg Lake's song: performance, rhythm and sensibility with fine entonation in voice. Quite good, I really enjoyed listening to it!! Greetings from Spain!! 🍻
Such marvelous vocals and instrument performances and balance and dynamics, Dave! I love the effects and the playing after the harmonics at 3:00! 👍60👍 Bravo! \|/
Great job. A favorite of mine. I was able to see ELP all together in SLC UT before Emerson and Lake passed. An amazing Iconic Band. Can’t say I’m fond of the guitar synthesizer but the cover is excellent regardless. Thanks
Hey thank you. Glad you enjoyed this. Yea I was sketchy on my synth patch as I didn’t really like it either. If I could go back I’d use something different. Would’ve been awesome to see those guys!
So wonderful performance and cover dear Dave!!All are wonderful!! Guitars sounds ,vocals and the result is perfect!!The solo is outstanding and the intro!! Great work and i enjoyed so much!! Friendly greetings, Leftis
Hello dear Dave~This is my favorite ELP song and I must say, you've certainly done it equally as good as the original, if not better. When I saw the time of your upload, I knew you were going to create the second outro solo in only a way that you are able to. Your version is the best I've seen here on You Tube. Bravo!! Extremely creative with using your guitar for the outro solo rather than your synthesizer. Kudos to you!! Thank you so much for sharing. Please have a wonderful Sunday and upcoming week. Warmest regards always. :) Oh, I have the vinyl of this. Love it.
Judy M thanks Judy! Yea it’s my fave ELP tune also. And you have the vinyl? How cool is that? I didn’t know until very recently that both Keith AND Greg were now no longer with us... bummed 🙁
Yes Dave, Keith and Greg sadly are no longer with us. Having the vinyl is sacred for me. I even have a turntable to play my vinyls. I don’t know if you are a fan of Three Dog Night but Corey Wells has recently left us also. He had been actively performing up until his death, a few years ago. I loved him the most out of all the members of the band. Always so smiley. May they all Rest In Peace. Hope you are well.
Absolutely I know Corey and 3 Dog... I went thru a phase a few years ago where I had them on repeat on my Ipod/Iphone. In fact I remember when Corey died cause I told my dad the news... he was a huge 3 Dog fan and used to play them all the time around the house when I was growing up. He was pretty bummed about the new, and unfortunately, a few months later my dad found out he had terminal cancer, and has since passed over 2 years ago... I intend on doing more 3 DN covers... most in his honor! Did you see my cover of "Out in the Country"? I wish my pops had been alive to see it... :(
Saw them twice in the 70s. KE came down from the ceiling strapped to a Baby Grand that was also rotating. Pitch black with the only light in the building being two spotlights on him. The piano was white if I’m remembering right, He was wearing a white tuxedo and was spanking that Baby Grand.
What a great song I discover here. Your playing the instruments and singing is just so good.....and at 2:17....this guitar.... perfect video, Dave. Like 33.
What can I say? Well. Great all around. Excellent playing and technique. Tonally on point. Superb cover. I like it at this tempo. To be honest, I wasn't sure at the start, but you made that work.
Oh! That was a GREAT cover Dave!! Wonderful precision in all aspects of this production. Your playing is so fine and the filming and editing were perfect. Nice work on this! I loved it!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much! I may be doing I believe in Father Christmas this year. 👍🏻
65 years here. Searched this song out to learn and found this! Perfecto! Excellent execution one man cover....... Thank you, years later... :)

Oh haha thanks Kim! You flatter me too much, but I appreciate it all the same! 😆👍🏻
@@DaveRucci You're welcome, Dave. I mean everything I say in my comments. :-)
Gostei até 3:06, acho que não ficou bom pelo menos ao meu ouvido, creio que vc poderia ter escolhido um outro efeito. Essa é minha opinião.
@@marcelolab737yes I concur but I hadn’t a good round to replace Keith’s keyboard sound. 🤷🏻♂️
One of the nicest cover versions of this song I've heard in a while.
Nice thanks for your comment !

Thanks!
It's rare to find a cover that honors the original yet still adds something special, and this does it so wonderfully.
Thanks much!
Whoa!!!!!!! All the hair on my arms just stood up. I'm listening on a hifi rig. So crisp and clean. Dude..... Yes
I was expecting just an acoustic cover.. But instead I got BLISS❤️
Yaaay thanks! Glad you like it and it exceeded your expectations! 🙏🏻
Absolutely superb rendition of this song, Dave! From the instrumentation to the vocals to the instrumentation again, absolutely superb. Well done, chap!
An absolute classic track and you did a fab job! The vocals were fantastic.
Thanks!
Just Marvelous!

Beautiful job, well produced and filmed. Only wish you had a Moog for the outro ;-)
Haha yea thanks. That’s my only regret
Depois de ver o som do ELP. A pedra (seixo) na água, deslizando nos acordes e voz do Greg Lake, e a brilhante execução da guitarra espanhola, dizer o que ? Falar o que ? É chover no molhado. RIP GREG LAKE, estamos órfãos da sua música 🎶.
What a great piece of multi-instrumental + singing work. Nice touch with the first synth solo on the electric. I found this helpful, too as I'm learning to play the song.

I'm 72 and never paid much attention to E.L.P tunes, But This is soo good😮
Beautiful!
Bravo, Signor Virtuoso! . . . Bravissimo! I wish (for several reasons) that my husband, who was a prog-rock-solid prog rock fan and a pianist, were still here to experience this. For that matter, I wish Keith and Greg were too. Thank you for your exquisite talent, skill, and artistry. 🏆
Awww thank very much!!!
Fantastic! Big fan of Greg Lake and just started playing this
Nice thank you!
You made it so......clear !! One of the best cover of this fantastic song that i felt in love with in the 70's ...
