It is absolutely criminal that they are not in the rock and roll hall of fame. Run DMZ gets into the hall of fame with their garbage rap music absolutely turns my stomach.
It broke my heart when I heard about Keith and Greg both in the same year. They gave me so much and I couldn't do a dam thing. ELP ARE STILL TODAY "BEST IN CLASS". Who has ever come close?
I was so pissed when as a 14 year old in Denver in 1974 the Columbia record club sent me a tape by mistake by some band with the stupid name of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I threw it aside and didn't listen to it for the longest time until one day out of boredom I played it and had my mind blown. All I had was a little panasonic tape playback player that I rigged to my father's old amplifier and a single 12 inch speaker cone I found in a dumpster which I held in my lap in my room made out of half the garage while this mind blowing jam played out. The awe I felt for this band has never left me.
Perfect Prog. Our time machine is to close our eyes and listen. The music takes us back to when we had long hair, youth, and when the music was a huge part of our lives.Thanks for posting, and thank you to the inimitable, irreplacable, ELP.
Ich höre dieses Konzert so alle 4 Wochen und tauche in diese Musik vollkommen ein und kann nicht aufhören es ist wie eine Sucht Geht mir auch bei Pink Floyd und den Doors so und das mit 73 Jahren
I was 23 when I saw this show at the Kongresshaus in Zurich (my hometown). It blew my mind so much that I could not find my Volkswagen Beetle car afterwards. Being a Deadead then (still am) and used to be functioning stoned this says enough. Still love this great band.
I didnt know this video! Waoh! Respect. I 've always been loving this band since I discovered them I was 13.. But here, they are absolutely amazing! I'm speechless! So brilliant!
Oui...génial ces 3 ... la maîtrise totale !!...fuuuuu la la ..dedius..!! Un groupe à faire découvrir à la jeune génération.... qui n'ont pas connus ce genre de miusik !!!.. ce Live est une merveille !!!!
I grew up in the 60s and 70s in my teenage years and damn what great memories and music. This is why I play music. Today's so called music is not music.
I remember being in the basement of a house that had a JBL paragon on one side and 2 JBL 100s ceiling mounted on the other. We were tripping and listening to ELP and tank started to play. We were really getting into it when at the end of the magnificent drum solo the huge bass note blew the system. From 120DB to zero in an instant. Paralysis set in for several seconds. I’m 73 now and I still remember that day fondly. We stayed up all night and climbed the farm field hill to see the sunrise. Just as it started to rise a herd of cows came out and one of our group said he could call them. He and they came and we were soon surrounded. A truly incredible way to end a trip.
What a great story. What wonderful times back then with acid, peyote and shrooms. And the music, incredible. Saw ELP on ludes. Great show. These are amazing classically trained musicians with a heavy jazz influence. Absolutely should be in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
I was 15 when I had just been turned on to the music of Rick Wakeman and it was only a matter of time (few days) before I discovered the music of ELP!!! I'll never forget getting stoned and listening to Brain Salad Surgery and Tocatta!!!
Saw them at Nassau coliseum in New York during the brain salad surgery tour think I was in 10th grade was so lucky to see so many concerts back then so many of them are gone now 🥲those were some great memories 🙂
I was lucky indeed to see them at the old Cleveland Stadium in the early 70’s during their Brain Salad Surgery tour. WMMS, ELP and Blodder. That was my childhood. Omg. So fantastic. To this day I don’t know if Kieth Emerson’s organ really revolved or was that the acid? Carl Palmer absolutely shredded percussion. God I love this band. Greg Lake’s voice was amazing. I also still love King Crimson. Takes me right back to my happy youth. Anyone who saw them live consider yourselves lucky indeed.
I saw Emerson Lake and Palmer in1976. It was symphonic and magical, truly astounding. Keith came up out of the stage sitting at a gloss black grand piano. A night to remember, that's for sure.
Hobby. It's not a "hobby". IT'S ART. The "Arts" are not "hobbies." Stamp collecting is a "hobby." Creating music, paintings, sculptures, drawings, are not "hobbies." They're not what you do in your spare time. They are your Life.
I saw this performance except it was in St Louis Arena Annex 1971. Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer the two Goats. Greg Lake singing ability the goat. As a bass player one of the five greatest. Of course we all know or should know that Chris Squire was the goat followed by j o n camp of Renaissance.
@@daveydudely9954 your name says it all Davey Boy you are a dud. So you think musicianship like that is a farce? I can't figure it out are you borderline retarded if so I forgive you it's not your fault. Or are you just an ignorant sack of s h i t. I think I hit on it didn't I day before. Now go somewhere and whip your little Skippy. Hahaha
When I was 5, my eldest sister gave me ELP Brain Salad Surgery. She sifted through the lyrics for fear of nefarious swear words, found none. 53 now, and I'm still thanking her!! Absolute gold mine, these three.

@@LukewarmBong Thanks for the information. Didn't know about the Byrds. Anyway, this concert has been unofficially released as CD (LCCD5130) where the "song" is listed as "Dog named Lou" 🐶
@@aum1083 Oh wow, now that I did not know lol. Very interesting. Well, w/e you wanna call it, I'm just glad its there 👌its brief but damn is it uplifting
My brother snuck me out of the house when I was in 8 th grade . 5 of us drove 75 miles to the checker dome in St. Louis Mo. 1977 . I was 3 rows back on the floor . So incredible to see these guys for my first concert . Gregg Lakes voice and he played standing on a carpet rug . Carl Palmer ( magnificent ) keith Emerson. And the spinning piano . They played by themselves for almost 3 hours . After intermission they came up from the drum kit raising up out of the floor. AWESOME !
Those were the good ol’ days, when you could do that and not have to worry about being assaulted. All the girls would thumb rides to the beach in the summertime. Can’t do that today…
1976-77 ELP was by far my favorite band. Welcome Back My Friend To The Show That Will Never End! Notice how Greg Lake talks about King Crimson in the first few seconds - Well that was my second favorite!
Put them up on a big reel to reel and throw them up on some vintage speakers and tell me you don't want to go back there, even if you're not from there.
in 1970 I was in 7th/8th grade. I discovered ELP when I was a high schooler. Greg was so good looking with his long hair & sexy lips & that voice always stopped me in my tracks. I love Lucky Man!!!! so sad he's gone now 😢. so young in this video. And energy.
Emerson blue them all away. I like your pics but may I suggest t h e j i s Van Lear of focus. Focus or a progressive rock group out of Amsterdam. They're early live performances are available on UA-cam ask for focus live and early. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised between Van Lear and the great Jan Ackerman on guitar.
Remember shag haircuts? I'm an old man now but so glad I came to age in late 60's/early 70's it was the best of times. We had Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Airplane, Alice Cooper, Santana, Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, ELP, Jethro Tull, this list could go on forever.
I found Keith one of, if not the, most consistent and inventive soloists/improvisers in all of rock. He never strayed too far from the composition [or recorded version] and seemed always to land on the most interesting sequence of notes, chords and phrasing. He was a true musical force [and still underrated] IMO.
Just came across this....We baby boomers were lucky to witness the advanced creation, exploration and appreciation of new music and there's really no equal in today's popular music. And think of their age. Progressive rock / rock-jazz was just beginning. Herbie Hancock and the jazz/rock/funk movement hadn't really even begun yet. I mean, who does this kind of fantasmagoric ground breaking stuff today? Please tell me and I'll be down for going! Saw them in Long Beach in 70 and as an aspiring keyboardist I was blown away. (I think John McGlaughlin and his Mahvishnu orchestra opend for them; 1st US tour.). Keith flying through the air doing sommersaults with a baby grand piano, later pulling out silver daggers and throwing them into his amps behind, then retrieving them and pinning down pairs of keys with them and swiveling the organ on a corner pointing it at and away from the amps/speakers behind himself to create rhythmic feedback, I can still see the clips in my mind...OH!, I just got to 16:20 where he does it!!! Seriously who can do sh** like that these days???? WTF, these guys were like musical maniacs from outer space. Like Hendrix. I got to see them all. Thank you so much for posting this!!! I was living in Santa Monica and very saddened when I heard Keith took his own life there.
Kieth Emerson was such a rock star presence, it tended to make people overlook what a gifted composer he was. It wasn’t until I saw Rachel Flowers play Tarkus on a grand piano at a recital, that the actual brilliance of Kieth Emerson was on full display. There will never be another ELP. Great performance by them all.
I've posted your last sentence a number of times buried in my comments here. It doesn't exist anymore. Saw ELP with Mahvishnu Orchestra. Talk about progressive rock!
Ethan Iverson has a left hand that plays in a different time zone than his right hand. Physical Cities on The Bad Plus album Prog. Ethan is the closest thing to Keith Emerson.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF RICK WAKEMAN ❓❓❓❓❓ HE PLAYED WITH YES AND WAS A VERY GOOD KEYBOARDIST. I THOUGHT AND STILL THINK THAT YES AND EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER WOULD BE A AWESOME CONCERT IF THEY COULD HAVE PLAYED TOGETHER
@@jimdep6542 yes sir it was legendary I left that concert in a daze also 1971 was great yes opened up for them at that concert and next in 1976 Journey opened up for them the great journey by the way when they were still a progressive rock group. Those were the three greatest shows but I saw many more after that. By the way I always wanted to go to San Francisco but I hear it's really gone downhill these days
I'm 68 and still listen to all the elp albums they were very talented individuals glad to have lived through an epic time for music as I know it was hame I did not get to see them live
Man it's not a shame if you're 68 years old it's tragic. You miss some of the greatest performances ever such as 1971 1974 and 1977. Sorry about that my man I do feel for you. You were at the perfect age to take in and understand those performances.
Il concerto più sconvolgente, emozionante e ipnotizzante degli ELP; talento e improvvisazione. Ho 70 anni ma impazzisco ancora quando li ascolto e li vedo su You tube. Emerson è un performer e un musicista eccezionale. Genio!!!
The first SUPER GROUP hands down! I was lucky to see them for a couple different tours in the mid 80s and early 90s in the Fox Theater Detroit, MI and Pine Knob, Clarkston, MI. Greg Lake was promoting the tour and speaking on WRIF radio in Detroit, when Greg was leaving the station I was there waiting and got to meet him briefly and get his autograph which was a very memorable moment for me! Greg was very friendly and approachable unlike some celebrities.
Ironically Greg Lake saying if he couldn't do music he would commit suicide..and then as fate would have it Kieth Emerson took his own life. Sadly they are both gone..and now Carl Palmer is carrying the torch.
Damn! This band. How in the world did I miss them in the 70's? Guess I was too busy listening to James Taylor, Carole King, Elton John, etc. I am absolutely gobsmacked (to use a British expression) since (re)discovering EL&P. Why, oh why did 2 out of the 3 of these amazing musicians have to pass on from this Earth? Thank God for videos and audio recordings. I would have hated to miss out on music like what EL&P consistently delivered. Carl Palmer - what an unsung hero of the rock and roll drumming brotherhood. Greg Lake - the talent just oozed from his brain, his fingertips and his gorgeously haunting and beautiful voice. And dear Keith, the man was an absolute maniacal genius at the keyboard. A master of all musical genres. I miss good music like this. Why are they not in the R&R Hall of Fame. What a gift they have been to the music world!
If you missed ELP, I assume you also missed King Crimson. If you think you're gobsmacked now? Wow. King Crimson is more or less the inspiration for ELP. Just ask Greg Lake. ;-) ua-cam.com/video/ukgraQ-xkp4/v-deo.html
@@igalflint LoL, I might have to agree, having seen all of them in concert and listened to all of their albums a lot. Lake's vocal range and edge was like pure crystal, but with a lower register harmonic when he went low, and soaring when he went high.
I bought their 1st 2 albums in 1970 when I was 17 yo and became ELP fanatics for a few years. Live, they were just incredible and Keith Emmerson just wild in the many keyboards he played. And Carl Palmer was possibly the greatest and most underrated drummer of all time...wonderful muscians...incredible band !!
I would tend to agree due to their varied instrumentation and range of music. I mean Hendrix was also from outer space but his band didn't have the breadth that ELP did. Saw both of them within a year of each other. Teenage mind blown.
@@johnbrowne2170 Nobody will argue that Cream wasn't one of the best rock/blues trios that ever existed. I mean, who ever played the short version of Crossroads?? LoL
@@deadtimber You can really groove to Cream, especially when they played live. Love ELP and Police were remarkably different. Sting, on his own, was amazing.
How I wished Greg Lake and Keith Emerson were still alive..... Truly Legends....All of them....RIP Greg and Keith....You both will be forever missed and remembered.....🎤🎸🎹🥁🔥💪👊🙏🙏
It is very sad to believe that Greg and Keith are no longer walking with the living. I grew up in their era so don’t have much time myself. They are still unbelievable. GBG NO EDITS.
@@johnwilliamson2707 yeah round 1971 & early 72 the mahavishnu orchestra was opening up for them the original lineup with Billy Cobham on the drum's Cobham was a true beast nobody could touch him during this particular era and John McLaughlin of course that was one hell of a lineup I see why ELP wanted them to open up for them!
We may NEVER see musicians like this again. The young generation is too busy with mindless video games and their gadgets to engage in anything of this caliber... Humanity lost it forever.
@@jimdep6542 Yes. It does. It’s so hard to convince any youngsters to master anything... True - there will be jewels here and there - individuals that have self-discipline instilled and nourished since early childhood, but that takes true parenting. Sadly, that critically important part of life is almost gone. Just a handful of families still teach their offspring valuable life lessons. The rest just buys gadgets, video games, pass time activities on consumer level.
ELP came at the tail end of the pursuit of excellence by Western masculine dominated society. After 1970 feminine cultural dominance pushed pursuit of excellence out as a priority and made community care a priority. In the last 20 years what recording is comparable to the likes of ELP, Pink Floyd, and Steely Dan, all coming at the end of the era of excellence?
Who here thinks Emerson Lake and Palmer belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Definitely.
It is absolutely criminal that they are not in the rock and roll hall of fame.
Run DMZ gets into the hall of fame with their garbage rap music absolutely turns my stomach.
It broke my heart when I heard about Keith and Greg both in the same year. They gave me so much and I couldn't do a dam thing. ELP ARE STILL TODAY "BEST IN CLASS". Who has ever come close?

I’m happy that you played the tape. Otherwise you may never had found that gold mine called “ E.L.P.”.❤
Great story!
It was about time you listened to it
That organ deserves a medal
Amazing when musicians were musicians.
When "music" was music; and musicians played and sang the music!
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, das Schlagzeugsolo ist einzigartig !!!!!!!!!!!!
Real Musical Genius ! All three of them ! Glad I saw them perform in Rochester NY War Memorial ! An AMAZING show !!

Ich höre dieses Konzert so alle 4 Wochen und tauche in diese Musik vollkommen ein und kann nicht aufhören es ist wie eine Sucht
Geht mir auch bei Pink Floyd und den Doors so und das mit 73 Jahren
I am 66. Lol could not agree more. Saw them at the Brooklyn academy of music. With yes. Elp and and king crimson. Once in a lifetime
62. Yep - Like Halley's Comet
Wow, I've seen all three of those bands separately back in the early to mid 70s I can't imagine seeing all three at once!
You are a ‘Lucky Man’…
I was 23 when I saw this show at the Kongresshaus in Zurich (my hometown). It blew my mind so much that I could not find my Volkswagen Beetle car afterwards. Being a Deadead then (still am) and used to be functioning stoned this says enough. Still love this great band.
I grew up with my dad setting up an egregious amount of speakers in our back yard and blasting ELP albums
Greatest rock and roll organist in the WORLD!!!🎉🎉🎉
I didnt know this video! Waoh! Respect. I 've always been loving this band since I discovered them I was 13.. But here, they are absolutely amazing!
I'm speechless! So brilliant!
I'm still watching this band in 2021... Who else is still watching 🙋
Oui...génial ces 3 ... la maîtrise totale !!...fuuuuu la la ..dedius..!! Un groupe à faire découvrir à la jeune génération.... qui n'ont pas connus ce genre de miusik !!!.. ce Live est une merveille !!!!
I love Greg Lake so much there is no way to express it .
me too
The same.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s in my teenage years and damn what great memories and music. This is why I play music. Today's so called music is not music.
I remember being in the basement of a house that had a JBL paragon on one side and 2 JBL 100s ceiling mounted on the other. We were tripping and listening to ELP and tank started to play. We were really getting into it when at the end of the magnificent drum solo the huge bass note blew the system. From 120DB to zero in an instant. Paralysis set in for several seconds. I’m 73 now and I still remember that day fondly. We stayed up all night and climbed the farm field hill to see the sunrise. Just as it started to rise a herd of cows came out and one of our group said he could call them. He and they came and we were soon surrounded. A truly incredible way to end a trip.
That's an awesome tale🎉🎉

What a great story. What wonderful times back then with acid, peyote and shrooms. And the music, incredible. Saw ELP on ludes. Great show. These are amazing classically trained musicians with a heavy jazz influence. Absolutely should be in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Saw that show at Madison Square Garden NYC... amazing beyond words! Weren't we lucky!!
LOL the way that Keith tore up that poor hammond was amazing. There will never be another Keith Emerson. RIP.
And the people in Zurich have never been the same ever since!
I'm almost 70 and continue to enjoy this band's music still... pretty kool!
Watching it for the first time 😢 unbelievably excellent ❤! Many thanks ❤
Carl Palmer is THE BEST Drummer I have ever seen. Over 100 Concerts and seeing him Twice.

I went to an ELP concert instead of my senior prom--probably '74, the quadraphonic Brain Salad Surgery tour. It was fantastic!
I don't believe that anyone can listen to this kind of music. Without any rhythm or sense, spontaneously hitting the instruments.
Loud? I saw them in '74 and my ears are still ringing!
This is what happens when 3 badass musicians get together and play anything they want. Too perfection!
This is GOLD! Thanks for uploading this masterpiece!
I saw Emerson Lake and Palmer in1976. It was symphonic and magical, truly astounding. Keith came up out of the stage sitting at a gloss black grand piano. A night to remember, that's for sure.
Did the piano elevate and spin? I think it was 77 when I saw them. One of the three best shows I have ever seen.
One of the greatest British bands we still enjoy
Thanks!!!
Talented to the point my comments will sound ordinary.
I do love that they are smiling alot💗
me too. I also love that they have matching hair.
They enjoy doing music. What a great gift to us they were and still are.

1976-77 ELP was by far my favorite band.
Welcome Back My Friend To The Show That Will Never End!
Notice how Greg Lake talks about King Crimson in the first few seconds - Well that was my second favorite!
Bloody hey that was awesome.
Музыкантов такого уровня не было, нет, и не будет. Супер!!!!
Welcome back my friends...
I always appreciate how they all have the exact same hair
❤️❤️❤️
В их музыке всегда была (и есть) загадка и магия. Грег Лейк как вокалист просто великолепен..
Houston Music Hall 1971, they were amazing. Keith was unbelievable. Still get a rush reliving these clips.
Put them up on a big reel to reel and throw them up on some vintage speakers and tell me you don't want to go back there, even if you're not from there.
Well said and very sentiently spoken.
Miss Keith so much, he was brilliant.
Truely gifted musicians, thanks for sharing!
When I was 12 I though ELP was the greatest band ever, now I'm 60 and I have not change my mind.
Edi Gabrieli I totally agree with you. I’m 59 years old and the same thing applies to me to this day!
Another group that should of been in the rock hall of fame.
I'm 62 and this is crap compared to 'Fanfare' Etc.
Same
who is the next keyboardist to Kieth I cant decide Jon Lord or Rick wakemen im leaning towards Jon Lord if you ever heard rat bat blue
Savage...Stunning...Beautiful...Brutal...Amazing
And GLORIOUS.
They played on my birthday in 1973 the best present 🎁 I could have gotten I was 18.
コンサートが行われたとき、私は70歳だった。私はセンテナリアンの島に住んでいて、あと何回か夏を過ごしたいと思っている。😀
in 1970 I was in 7th/8th grade.
I discovered ELP when I was a high schooler.
Greg was so good looking with his long hair & sexy lips & that voice always stopped me in my tracks. I love Lucky Man!!!!
so sad he's gone now 😢.
so young in this video. And energy.
You grave
The place of this group must me in the Hall of fame......Unforgettable! God bless the memory of them and over Carl Palmer who is still alive!
Karnevil #9,loved them at twelve now I'm sixty ,still love em they jam
Were it NOT for this band, I never would have become a drummer!
Wakeman, Emerson and Giuffrida....my 3 favorite synth/keyboard players of the 70s and 80s.

Siete dei grandi. Niente a che vedere con questi che ci sono in circolazione oggi. Sono stato fortunato a vivere nel miglior periodo della musica.

Mind blowing drum solo by Palmer..wow!
Letteralmente geni della musica, mai stato nulla di simile prima e mai nulla di simile dopo, unici gli ELP.

That's true........all 3 of them did.
Keith.
Greg Lake’s vocals are so uniquely amazing. I saw them live on the Works tour with a full orchestra. Best concert experience I’ve ever had!
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
That is all my youth. Just amazing. Who can play like that nowadays?
I've posted your last sentence a number of times buried in my comments here. It doesn't exist anymore. Saw ELP with Mahvishnu Orchestra. Talk about progressive rock!
Ethan Iverson has a left hand that plays in a different time zone than his right hand. Physical Cities on The Bad Plus album Prog. Ethan is the closest thing to Keith Emerson.
My favorite keyboard player, my favorite drummer , and my favorite bassist / singer (songwriter, guitarist and producer ) all in one group !!
Imagine if Steve Howe had been in the band! HELP!
@@TJJensen-kz7wh LoL!
Все парни класс и супер но соло драм машины всётаки выше ❤

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF RICK WAKEMAN ❓❓❓❓❓ HE PLAYED WITH YES AND WAS A VERY GOOD KEYBOARDIST. I THOUGHT AND STILL THINK THAT YES AND EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER WOULD BE A AWESOME CONCERT IF THEY COULD HAVE PLAYED TOGETHER
Счастлив, что мог это увидеть и услышать!. Спасибо. Очень впечатляюще!
da!
@@kensheldon7458 what do you mean and tube steak? I thought he put it pretty well.
I always liked ELP great music
I’m so glad I grew up with this kind of talent / music in the landscape of my life .
I saw this same show in Santa Monica, CA in 1970 and I still consider this the BEST concert ever attended!...
I saw this concert in St Louis 1971. It was the best next to the 1973/74 Brain Salad Surgery tour which I saw as well.
@@edljnehan2811 I saw the Brain Salad Surgery tour too at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Great concert.
@@jimdep6542 yes sir it was legendary I left that concert in a daze also 1971 was great yes opened up for them at that concert and next in 1976 Journey opened up for them the great journey by the way when they were still a progressive rock group. Those were the three greatest shows but I saw many more after that. By the way I always wanted to go to San Francisco but I hear it's really gone downhill these days
I saw that show too it was in early 1971 yes opened up for them
My runners up to ELP are Pablo Cruz! I was born in Torrance and grew up in Rdn Bch. Ty mom and dad!! Blessed
Saw them once at the '74 Cal Jam 1, where they headlined (appropriately) a ten act all day concert. Greg Lake's voice is mesmerizing.
Обалденный концерт, первый раз услышал.
At 48:11. Greg Lake ! Awesome !! Masterpiece !! 🔥♥️🇧🇷 From Brazil .
By 1970 I was 2yrs old...I grew up with this music that followed me down to 2022/23...AMAZING 11👍👍👍⚘️
I'm 68 and still listen to all the elp albums they were very talented individuals glad to have lived through an epic time for music as I know it was hame I did not get to see them live
Man it's not a shame if you're 68 years old it's tragic. You miss some of the greatest performances ever such as 1971 1974 and 1977. Sorry about that my man I do feel for you. You were at the perfect age to take in and understand those performances.
Никогда не слышала, впервые такое уникальное открытие произошло, в моей, уже не совсем, молодой жизни !!! Но, как известно, никогда не поздно !!!
сам первый раз увидел. ютуб порекомендовал?
о! любителей прог-рока прибыло! поздравляю с открытием этой легендарной группы!
@@user-mp9gd8cb5l поздравление принимаю с радостью !
Il concerto più sconvolgente, emozionante e ipnotizzante degli ELP; talento e improvvisazione. Ho 70 anni ma impazzisco ancora quando li ascolto e li vedo su You tube. Emerson è un performer e un musicista eccezionale. Genio!!!
There were rumours at the time that Hendrix was going to join ELP. That would have been a huge clash of egos.
Nice concert, they compliment each other!! Great stage energy, enjoying this.
Legend has it, they went on to make some music that was actually musical.
The first SUPER GROUP hands down! I was lucky to see them for a couple different tours in the mid 80s and early 90s in the Fox Theater Detroit, MI and Pine Knob, Clarkston, MI. Greg Lake was promoting the tour and speaking on WRIF radio in Detroit, when Greg was leaving the station I was there waiting and got to meet him briefly and get his autograph which was a very memorable moment for me! Greg was very friendly and approachable unlike some celebrities.
Ironically Greg Lake saying if he couldn't do music he would commit suicide..and then as fate would have it Kieth Emerson took his own life. Sadly they are both gone..and now Carl Palmer is carrying the torch.
Unfortunately it happens many times with geniuses!!😢😢😢😢😢
Was saying this to a buddy the other day. It gets to a point where you’re too intelligent to do anything but the thing you’ve perfected. Super sad
Thankfully I lived through this incredible era of music. My life is complete because of it. To Greg and Keith - God rest ye merry gentlemen.
"I don't really have another hobby....I'm too busy being the greatest keyboardist of all time."
Blown away by this band.
Awesome.
I loved them from the start. I’m old now but still listen. They make my day, everyday !!!
their music is timeless. I can take myself back and get the same feel when I hear them. I want to go back!
@@markrobertson481 Their music saves us from fears and years.
I've said this before and i'll say it again. Keith was the most Punk Prog Rocker ever.
Agreed.
Damn! This band. How in the world did I miss them in the 70's? Guess I was too busy listening to James Taylor, Carole King, Elton John, etc. I am absolutely gobsmacked (to use a British expression) since (re)discovering EL&P. Why, oh why did 2 out of the 3 of these amazing musicians have to pass on from this Earth? Thank God for videos and audio recordings. I would have hated to miss out on music like what EL&P consistently delivered. Carl Palmer - what an unsung hero of the rock and roll drumming brotherhood. Greg Lake - the talent just oozed from his brain, his fingertips and his gorgeously haunting and beautiful voice. And dear Keith, the man was an absolute maniacal genius at the keyboard. A master of all musical genres. I miss good music like this. Why are they not in the R&R Hall of Fame. What a gift they have been to the music world!
Greg lake's voice was far better more beautiful than James Taylor, Carol King and Elthon John all together.
If you missed ELP, I assume you also missed King Crimson. If you think you're gobsmacked now? Wow. King Crimson is more or less the inspiration for ELP. Just ask Greg Lake. ;-) ua-cam.com/video/ukgraQ-xkp4/v-deo.html
Same.. Wtf !!!!!
@@igalflint ...except at (1:41) when he proposes suicide, which unfortunately Keith actually committed.
@@igalflint LoL, I might have to agree, having seen all of them in concert and listened to all of their albums a lot. Lake's vocal range and edge was like pure crystal, but with a lower register harmonic when he went low, and soaring when he went high.
I bought their 1st 2 albums in 1970 when I was 17 yo and became ELP fanatics for a few years. Live, they were just incredible and Keith Emmerson just wild in the many keyboards he played. And Carl Palmer was possibly the greatest and most underrated drummer of all time...wonderful muscians...incredible band !!
I have loved this band all my life even their slow songs kick ass
They were too good.
One of the greatest drummers ever fck yeah
The greatest trio ever assembled in rock history, including RUSH. No one else could ever compare!
Cream!! Brotha
@slipperman6770 Cream weren't together long enough
I would tend to agree due to their varied instrumentation and range of music. I mean Hendrix was also from outer space but his band didn't have the breadth that ELP did. Saw both of them within a year of each other. Teenage mind blown.
@@johnbrowne2170 Nobody will argue that Cream wasn't one of the best rock/blues trios that ever existed. I mean, who ever played the short version of Crossroads?? LoL
@@deadtimber You can really groove to Cream, especially when they played live. Love ELP and Police were remarkably different. Sting, on his own, was amazing.
How I wished Greg Lake and Keith Emerson were still alive..... Truly Legends....All of them....RIP Greg and Keith....You both will be forever missed and remembered.....🎤🎸🎹🥁🔥💪👊🙏🙏
It is very sad to believe that Greg and Keith are no longer walking with the living. I grew up in their era so don’t have much time myself. They are still unbelievable. GBG NO EDITS.
True that. They really set a high bar for arena rock theatrics and laid the ground work for modern arena artists.
I didn't know those two passed. 😢
It's kind of messed up how Keith died by committing suicide wow very talented him & Lake rip
@@johnwilliamson2707 yeah round 1971 & early 72 the mahavishnu orchestra was opening up for them the original lineup with Billy Cobham on the drum's Cobham was a true beast nobody could touch him during this particular era and John McLaughlin of course that was one hell of a lineup I see why ELP wanted them to open up for them!
Will we ever see musicians like this again? Thank God for sound recordings...we know they existed at one point in time!
Exactly
We may NEVER see musicians like this again. The young generation is too busy with mindless video games and their gadgets to engage in anything of this caliber... Humanity lost it forever.
@@KrystofDreamJourney True.........too many mindless distractions. It takes work and a lot of self discipline to be a real musician.
@@jimdep6542 Yes. It does. It’s so hard to convince any youngsters to master anything... True - there will be jewels here and there - individuals that have self-discipline instilled and nourished since early childhood, but that takes true parenting. Sadly, that critically important part of life is almost gone. Just a handful of families still teach their offspring valuable life lessons. The rest just buys gadgets, video games, pass time activities on consumer level.
ELP came at the tail end of the pursuit of excellence by Western masculine dominated society. After 1970 feminine cultural dominance pushed pursuit of excellence out as a priority and made community care a priority. In the last 20 years what recording is comparable to the likes of ELP, Pink Floyd, and Steely Dan, all coming at the end of the era of excellence?
