It is one thing to copy the notes. But to imitate the level of attack perfectly is out of this world. Super Rachel. Keith lives on. Thankyou.
Rachel is super- the "Living End"... ELP always reminds me of EGG, National Health and Hatfield and the North....
Tears streaming down my face...I thought I was a freak for loving this song. All my friends think I am a weirdo for listening to this. To hear it performed so passionately and so brilliantly by these artists has made my millennium! Thank you guys and I love you Rachel.
+Jeanie Flowers Does Rachel have any high aspirations with regard to her flute? I daresay she's spoiled me rotten, to the point where I expect miracles such as her Fugue above. To that end, if she's so inclined to take on an unreasonably intense challenge, I'd absolutely love to see her take on Ian Anderson, performing Jethro Tull's "Bourreé" from "Stand Up" (1969), either solo multi-tracked or with a competent partner on flute, with Dave on skins and maybe Balint on bass, if he can find his inner Glenn Cornick... that's not too much to ask, is it? (Tell me she's heard it.)
freak? no way! this song is a beautiful creation and those who don't appreciate it are missing out. it is one of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite ELP albums : more subtle than their usual output.
@ paul arneil: Don't tell me. . . the people you hung out with in high school listened to "Funky Town," right? Same here.
When I was 9 years old I listed to ELP over and over all day long (1970-ish). I tried to get my friends to listen, but I got blank stares. After a while they started making fun of me and my musical tastes. It became clear -- I had to choose between my friends and ELP. Friends are a dime a dozen.
everybody took the micky out of the first people to use an umbrella : there must always be trailblazers! (friends are a dime a dozen! heh!! )
Keith Emerson lives on through Rachel Flowers.
The same face.
to prawda :)
I WILL RESERVE MY USUAL COMMENT ." PROG FARTS... FOREVER."
HOWEVER, HUMANS KEEP DOING BETTER!
I could not have said it better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Keith and Rachel are the heirs/reincarnations of J.S Bach ...
Trilogy was the very first record I bought back in 1972 - I was 14. I think it cost me about £3.50. When I brought it home my dad insisted I play it for the whole family. As The Endless Enigma was the first track it was also the family's introduction to ELP. I fell in love with the music of ELP and played their music so often I remember it note for note from back then. How refreshing to discover this exceptional cover version. Music was great when I was growing up, exciting and imaginative, and I'm so glad that it is not being forgotten. This performance is exceptional. I have a huge smile on my face.
What did your family think?
Likewise. The same year and age as yourself as well.
@@cadencooper1828 - My parents hated it. But guess what? Not only do I still have that very album, but it is still in perfect shape as well.
I would like to take a survey to find out if ELP had influenced or changed people's lives. I know it did for me.
Asked for Brain Salad Surgery for Christmas. Mum looked at me as if I were daft
I want to thank everyone in the band it was so beautiful. I have waited 43years to see it performed thanks from a 61 year old ELP FAN
52 here brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽🤘🏼🤘🏼✊🏼🇧🇷🏴🖤
Seventy
67 here in 2023
63 here. Incredible……..an outstanding effort……..breathtaking. Writing this while listening multiple times. Thank you all so very much
One of the most elegant compositions in the history of rock music. And very well performed here. Just beautiful!!!
Dear God, this is magnificent. ELP are back…my heart is broken by their loss but uplifted by this. Thank you is not enough.
It’s amazing how someone so young like Rachel Flowers knows who Emerson Lake and Palmer are.
I’ve watched this countless times and Every time I get tears forming in my eyes. Truly spectacular musicality displayed in this video.
This is awesome, I'm so thankful there are musicians who feel so strongly about this kind of music! And it's always a treat to hear you play, Rachel. =D
You really have to be an ELP fan to appreciate what they did back in the 70's.........then along comes Rachel ........ ; )
Rachel and Jeanie... It's soooooo great to work with you two on these fabulous collabs.... I get my E.L.P. on now more than ever! Jeanie, you work so hard to do what you do for Rachel,..... and Rachel.... what can I say.... I'm just without words....Your performance is so great..... Love you BOTH!
Len, please see above comment. Kudos to all. I knew what to expect from Rachel, she is simply amazing; but was floored when you came in, Len! As a Lake fan and purist, I am not only impressed but totally jealous!
+Matt Calder Thanks so much Matt..... I'm so glad you like! We have more ELP in the works!
+Len Audsley And Bacchus Plateau? My favorite part of the early Rush epic "The Fountain of Lamneth" and one of my favorite Rush pieces of all. You guys nailed it! Almost felt like listening to Rush themselves. Back to ELP though...I had the good fortune to see them twice in their later years (97, 98). It was great to hear Tarkus in its entirety but never got to see them do Enigma. Can't get much closer than y'all!
+Matt Calder....... Now I'm jealous! Never got to see E.L.P. I don't even know if they even toured the midwest? I've grown fonder of them through the years, and like em more now than ever.... (K.E.9 is next.....shhhhh)..........Oh and thanks again for the kudos on the Rush song... It was so much fun doing that!
+Len Audsley ... hey Len, great to see your posts, you can be jealous of me also since I too got to see ELP twice, they were THE BOMB !!! .... I also saw Rush when they were nobody's, touring for the 1st album at a free taping of "In Concert" and I have seen King Crimson, Todd Rundgren (several times), Robert Fripp solo, Kansas twice, Camel opening for Deep Purple, Chicago when Terry Kath was alive with Fanny opening and and Frank Zappa twice .... Please check out ELP's California Jam performance and read my comments since I was there. If you want to hear me play guitar I have a couple of cool Santana covers in my channel. Take much care and keep up the great job at singing this amazing music !! :):)
I could watch and listen this girl endlessly since I found her. A week ago I didn't know anything about her but even if I watch something else I have to come back after a while. Thank you Rachel and Jeannie from a hungarian.
Having the same experience right now...currently on day two, Rachel is amazing
Same here!! I found the incredible video of Rachel playing this at the Tribute to Keith. After an overwhelmingly emotional 11 minutes, I needed to find more. This, here, is a thing of beauty! ❤️
Amazing what record companies hide from view. THANK GOD FOR UA-cam
Absolutely agree
I haven't seen any yt employee performing on this lmusical video : you must be mistaken my friend ...
Haha, great comment. Yes, there is so much great music out there today -- which you do not hear when mainstream-channels. I'm glad I found Rachel's music! :-D
They hid Rachel well as it took me a decade to find her. They cannot market this young lady the way they normally do and on top of that she is talented to the extreme.
Nobody is hiding anything. It's always been there to discover.
Rachel's performance is simply over the top - the fuge @6:05 says it all
Thanks. Great playing and brilliant singing. No egos or posturing.
Fantastic job … you’ve captured the drama and power of that piece so well … more please
And to think that all of that was done by three musicians. I had a friend swear that it was all done with overdubs and other types of music production magic. Then ELP came to town. I just had to take him and my other doubtin Thomas friends with me to the concert. They be true believers in the awesome talent of ELP. I Have been listening to ELP's music for over 54 years (I'm 70 years old.) It never gets old and I still love it.
Great cover!
I'm not crying...
You're crying! 🥹💖
I didn't expect such strong vocals, Greg's voice is often overlooked.
Thank You!
I'm a huge ELP fan... And Rachel is really exceptional. Thanks, and I hope you'll continue to prog even after Keith's death... :')
Phenominal. Now we need to get Rachel that Steinway D we're hearing into her home, even though we're watching her play her older Kawai grand in this video. On the other hand, perhaps what we're hearing is a Steinway D sample here. In either event no Kawai of that 5-foot-ish size ever sounded like the piano we're hearing in this video! Nice sync-up job. Excellent performance from all the musicians. Looking forward to more installments. Rachel and the boyz are just killer.
I understand completely, Jeanie. Kindly contact me privately to discuss this matter if you wish: visit www.davidhughespiano.com for my information. Thank you. David G. Hughes, RPT.
Jeanie, how lucky are you? Not only to be related to Rachel but to even know her. I'll bet she was devastated when hearing about Keith. What's so great to see is every now and then, on some of her videos, her smile. That means to me she loves what she's doing and is having fun. And thank you for bringing this amazing talent together.
I'm almost speechless and definitely touched!! you're all doing such a great job - I'm sure this is the best cover version of that song ever! (i don't even know if there is another cover version at all ;) - and Rachel is the impersonification of music - for me, this is beyond talent - she's blessed with very special skills. thanks to everybody involved! :-)
You've given me back my youth. They were my favourites too. God bless.
Hi, Rachel and Mother!
Following you from Portugal, were i share your videos to my friends directly, and via Facebook. facebook.com/sessenta.cincoestrelas/
Many Thanks!
Greetings from Portugal!
Ricardo Campos
Eight years ago, you guys dropped this, it is timeless, it is amazing. It is beautiful.❤❤
So frigging amazing!!! I'm in TEARS.
Jeanie and Rachel we shared such a great evening of music last night @ the Keith Emerson Tribute Concert. Rachel thanks to you for your incredible performance. All of us in attendance were blown away by your abilities as were those on stage with you and ( and at such a young age). My daughter asked me if there was anyone under 30 at the show. Why yes there was a piano virtuoso named Rachel Flowers. You go girl and keep Keith's legacy alive as I know you will.
So great to know that the music of ELP lives on, through the incredible talent of Rachel Flowers. You can feel the spirit of it so strongly.
A special thanks to all the others in the band as well; the singer did especially well.
Great, this is just an amazing job!!! You are all incredible musician with a very good feeling for EL&P.
Rachel you are the best Keith Emerson performer I ever listen!!!
Thanks to all of you. Great interpretation faithful to the original. I must admit that this has always been probably my favorite ELP tune. it's epic, and colorful. What a great composition. Thanks so much! :)
Beautiful music that soothes the soul. Fabulous rendition. Impossible to play unless you’re in top form. My personal favorite song of all time! ;)
I have almost forgotten how much I love this piece. I am blown away with this collaboration. Cant wait to seek out more. Rachel, you are truly amazing, all of you are amazing. ELP will always live on. Thanks so much for doing this. I feel I am "inside the music": when I watch and listen to these pieces. Truly works of art. Going to listen to Trilogy all night long now.
31 viewers with zero sense of music ability ! Keep at it kids ! Still time for learning !
Los felicito, hicieron un trabajo espectacular.... soy fanatico de ELP y me llegaron al alma.....un abrazo desde Argentina!!!!
Recien lo veo y se me pianta un lagrimon .......
Just. Too. Good! The harmonic textures, the intricacy, the breadth. I don't know how you pulled it off, especially you, Rachel Flowers, but thank you all for putting this together and playing so damn well!
Wat onwaarschijnlijk prachtig nagespeeld. Ik ken dit nummer uit mijn hoofd. De LP - die ik in 1972 kocht - tot grijs wordens toe afgespeeld. Dank hiervoor!
this is absurdly wonderful. really really nailed it, everyone. wow.
A beautifully performed high wire act from my youth! After listening, I’m left in a better place. Thank you.
I've been listening to this song for over 38 years and literally cried through the entirety of this. Been going through health issues the last couple of years and I'm sure that may tie in but this just destroyed me. Thank you guys so much and I can tell everyone of you put yr heart and soul into this. God bless.
Wow....that's all I can say. Almost exactly reproduced good job and I mean really good job!
ELP's TRILOGY is a MASTERPIECE and ALL the musicians in this video are MASTERS. 🙏 🙇♀️
The Endless Enigma Part One"
Why do you stare
Do you think that I care?
You've been misled
By the thoughts in your head
Your words waste and decay
Nothing you say
Reaches my ears anyway
You never spoke a word of truth
Why do you think
I believe what you said
Few of your words
Ever enter my head
I'm tired of hypocrite freaks
With tongues in their cheeks
Turning their eyes as they speak
They make me sick and tired
Are you confused
To the point in your mind
Though you're blind
Can't you see you're wrong
Won't you refuse
To be used
Even though you may know
I can see you're wrong
Please, please, please open their eyes
Please, please, please don't give me lies
I ruled all of the earth
Witnessed my birth
Cried at the sight of a man
And still I don't know who I am
Are you confused
To the point in your mind
Though you're blind
Can't you see you're wrong
Won't you refuse
To be used
Even though you may know
I can see you're wrong
Please, please, please open their eyes
Please, please, please don't give me lies
I've seen paupers as kings
Puppets on strings
Dance for the children who stare
You must have seen them everywhere
(AWESOME Instrumental interlude)
"The Endless Enigma Part Two"
Each part was played
Though the play was not shown
Everyone came
But they all sat alone
The dawn opened the play
Waking the day
Causing a silent hooray
The dawn will break another day
Now that it's done
I've begun to see the reason why I'm here

I don't know who Len Audsley is, but, DAMN!
He is awesome!
And the rest of you, are too!
And I DO know who Rachel is! Awesome! That' what she is!!
Hello... Thanks for your awesome comment.... I'm so glad you liked... It's a great honor to work with Rachel and these fine musicians!
Had to watch it again. Hey you on the Hammond B-3. You are a bad ass machine if you played that 22 second section at timestamp 2:01. Which apparently you did. Wow, you are all amazing. Love the camera positions which really does help the listener to appreciate the technical achievement even more. Thank you.
I agree... Misi aced that solo!
ELP are back… Thanks, God! Thanks, guys! Thanks, Rachel!
Wow! Just perfection! Actually it's my favorite piece of them which is a bit underrated, IMHO, and so cleverly crafted. Thank you for reminding how great this music is!
🤜🏽🤛🏽🤘🏼🤘🏼
E poi c'è chi ancora si ostina a chiamare musica leggera QUESTA MUSICA !!!!!! Questa è MUSICA con la M maiuscola immortale come la musica dei grandissimi autori classici o quelli jazz !!!!!
This might be the best thing I've ever seen. What a perfect gift during this time of pain and fear as the Coronavirus is scaring everyone. Thank you all so much.
You guys did an amazingly outstanding performance!!! Bravissimo!! I'm a huge ELP fan since they began. I dropped acid when I heard Tarkus....and saw God! . I'll never forget the time or place. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Love & ☮️...R.I.P. Keith & Greg.
holy macaroni
this is awesome !!
it deserves billions of views
very nice fellows
... and again: This is absolutely typical British! I mean, it's typical EL&P, but you can hear they come from Britain - you would never hear such a sound from the USA originally - especially at that time. Beautifully done! Thanx for sharing! 😉🦊
This was the song that dramatically transformed my appreciation of music when I first heard it back in 1975 as a 14 year old. Your arrangement is so faithful to the original piece and is absolutely amazing.Glad to have sat here and listened and watch your passion for ELP'S masterpiece.
Touching comment.
Thanks for sharing.🖤
One of the few times where globalization is a good thing .... Amazing. Ciao from Italy.
Este vocalista é excelente. Os ataques das notas são os do Greg. A pianista é perfeita. O tecladista é um mágico. O baixo é fidelíssimo. A percussão é maravilhosa. Estou emocionado com o amor destes músicos pela beleza. Rachel, o universo é possível. A beleza nos salvará.
I Thank You!
He even sounds like Greg!
Everything about this video is EXCELLENT! And the guy's vocals are spot on!
Rachel Flowers is what jazz musicians would call a "Monster". Of course Rachel performed the most challenging parts of this piece - and of course she cruised thru it like a hot knife thru butter!
She's absolutely fabulous! She plays with the same cadence and attack as Keith.
A true talent!
“OUTSTANDING”. ELP would be impressed for sure, superbly done. To think 3 very special musicians created such complex music and carried it onto a LIVE shows throughout the World. Amazing cover to all involved in this video. Amazing tribute to ELP !!! Now that it’s done we can see the reason why you all took part in this tribute !👍🔥❤
Hey Dave this is James again do you know every time somebody re-create a masterpiece like the endless enigma do you wonder That these guys Emerson Lake and Palmer I’m not in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame I know you must think about it I asked the people to think about it but also as a personal note to you I consider you a good friend and you made my life so much easier for me as you probably did for a lot of people so we’re not I love you brother and I hope you’re feeling better and I just want your take on the thing about the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame
Rachel's playing is magnificent (as always) in the Fugue section, but a brilliant job from you all. Great audio and video editing too. The Kawai piano sounds really fantastic and is beautifully recorded - there seems to be many video takes judging from the multiple camera angles (the audio is presumably from a single take?), a real testament to Rachel's consistency and accuracy. Congratulations!
This just reminds me how much I fell in love with the song back when I was 15. I was already a huge ELP fan and was so excited when Trilogy hit the record stores. Wonderful job Rachel and everyone. Rest in power Keith and Greg. You are missed.
This was awesome!! One of the best by ELP- What an awesome tribute- the vocals were really good too!! Very gifted musicians, thank you all.
Rachel's touch on piano is so clear and perfect that seems to be a sequencer. It recalls me young Keith.
First time I've seen this! Well hidden. This is amazing, what an effort, well done 🙂
That's awesome!! I actually got goosebumps listening to it!
What a great project this is, a globe-spanning collaboration in a time of unprecedented global division. This is music’s special gift, a universal language so compelling it transcends the struggles and tribulations of humankind’s baser impulses, and does so with beauty and grace. A salve for a world in pain.
All good; everyone! And Rachel; you are an Angel on Earth.
wow - what an incredible tribute to ELP - and now a fitting memorial to Keith!
UA-cam, thank you for the free music but sticking a ad in the midle of this WAS A CRIME!
I think Keith Emerson's piano scores are where he really excels and this one is gorgeous. I'm so glad that Ms Flowers and the guys tackled it. I have not heard a better cover than this one. Very well edited too. Thank you, I really enjoyed that.
WOW!!!! Just happened to find this and seriously you made my week! Just beautiful. Brought me back to when music was actually progressive. What a talented group. It’s so sad to think what 13 year olds are listening to today. Thank you thank you thank you!
an Elp tribute band who are off the scale superb.xx
I've only just heard this - even though it's been around for a while! Like others here - this has brought a tear to my eye. Love the way each contributor is in just ordinary surroundings - but the combination is awesome - beautifully done. Have been an ELP fan ever since the first LP - which gives some idea how old I am! Thanks to everyone for putting this together and making my day!
The Trilogy Album was in my opinion the very best produced. Ketht's virtuosity was unparelleled
This is beautiful ! You are awesome ! Greetings from Brazil !
Excellent rendition! Congrats! The Fugue was absolutely brilliant!
Que MARAVILLA. Me habeis alegrado el día. Impresionante representación. Gracias.
Excelente,maravilhosos, belíssimos....quem não gostou tente fazer melhor...o que seria impossível.
God is still on earth! And have saved this music. Love!
Oh my God! But they're playing the ELP!!!! WoooooooooooooooooooooooW!!!
This is a great cover version in fact this piece is so complex I do not know of any other versions by others on the internet. Congratulations to the team you aced a very difficult piece of music. Hats off to you! Also watching you all work I am amazed that three guys in 1972 put this together. This elevates my appreciation of the amazing talents of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Thank you so much for this.
It's now September the 28th 2022 and this piece still brings the water works. Actually, anything ELP I get emotional over, especially when Miss Flowers is involved with it. This whole line up of musicians is top notch and staying true to Keith, Greg and Carl. I am a 68 1/2 fan of Rachel and the music she loves to play.
So amazingly beautiful rendition to this great piece by ELP... Rachel, Len, George, Bálint, George, Steve, Dave, Mihaly, you brought tears to my eyes. Thank you and please do more like these.
Just........................briliant!! Rachel, you have made Keith Emerson imortal by continuing his legend. God bless you Maestro.
A super performance. I did enjoy it very much
I played the Triangle Bell! Just kidding. AWESOME!!! The drummer (I am a drummer) is a big guy and he plays so fluid and relaxed! Love You All! Great colab. I love UA-cam colabs and ELP Music.
Came upon this very serendipitously. Didn’t read the comments. Listened and watched KE9 then this. Can’t write anything that would do it justice so I will just write Thank You All... Immense appreciation for the talent and devotion on display. Love & Peace.
The beauty of Music , without borders , I like it !
Rachel Flowers... watta real musical genius.One in maybe every millions.
Simply amazing.
Hi from Brazil. Really enjoyed! I haven't heard ELP in a long time. Guys, you are fantastic. Rachel, I love you!
✊🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🇧🇷🏴🖤
Beautifully done! Great tribute to Keith, Greg & Carl.
This is so incredibly beautiful I really have no words to give it justice. Takes me back to my college days and brownies.😅
You guys dedication is beyond measure..as a long time ELP fan, it brings a tear of joy every time I hear this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
AMAZING!!!! 6:06 Breathtaking !!
Thank you guys!!!! Excellent performance!!!!
Nice collaboration guys & dolls! Rachel, I'm totally impressed by your talent. I can play a bit of Endless Enigma, but after watching you in your videos, I want to learn it all, and it's never too late to learn:)
BRAVO!!!!!!!!! Everyone is awesome. I really liked Rachel's performance especially. The video is fantastic and really added to the performance. Endless Enigma is very important to the works of ELP and this really does it justice.
I am in awe - a perfect collaboration on a piece that has resonated with me for 50 years - I didn't expect to be in tears at the end!
Absolutely perfect!
Absolutely fabulous 🎹🎶👍
Thanks for the good work, one and all. Great interpretation of this piece. I may be over-reaching and don't mean to offend, but Rachel is a fucking badass! just sayin'...
