ELP Pictures At An Exhibition '71 1/4

live concert of ELP in 1971 performing "Pictures At An Exhibition" of Modest Mussorgsky.
Keith Emmerson - keyboard
Greg Lake -Bass, guitar, vocals
Carl Palmer - drums/percussion
Pictures at an Exhibition (Russian: Картинки с выставки -- Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане, Kartinki s vystavki -- Vospominaniye o Viktore Gartmane, "Pictures from an Exhibition -- A Remembrance of Viktor Hartmann") is a famous suite in ten movements composed for piano by Modest Mussorgsky in 1874.
The suite is Mussorgsky's most famous piano composition, and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists. It has also become known through various orchestrations and arrangements produced by other musicians and composers (see: Arrangements and Interpretations, below, for further discussion), with Ravel's arrangement being the most recorded and performed.

Emerson was/is one of the greatest composers and keyboard players in history.
It's interesting watching Carl starting to evolve around Emerson's arragements.

During the power cuts. They were worried the sound of the generators outside could be heard in the auditorium. I was there too.

I love this - but don't you think it would be so much better if Keith had a shirt on.

Los minutos de Emerson, Lake and Palmer que más gustan a los seguidores del Hard Rock/Metal parece corresponden a Pictures At An Exhibition de Modest Mussorgsky. Que fue lo primero que montaron, aunque salió a la venta después, por que su disquera no quería que empiecen como intérpretes sino con material propio. Emerson llamó por teléfono a la editora que en Londres tenía los derechos de la orquestación que Maurice Ravel hizo. Cuando se enteraron que era músico de Rock, le colgaron el teléfono. Emerson decidió hacer su propia adaptación al no contar con las partes escritas por Ravel, que pensó podía adquirirlas a la editora, para usarlas como guía... ni que decir de Palmer (estudiaba percusión sinfónica con un profesor que era realmente famoso en Inglaterra y que no dejó de estudiar con él ni cuando se hizo muy famoso o ya tenía buen dinero en el banco)....a Lake, otro profeso amante de la música clásica, la idea también le apasionó

@NeilThompson30 No I don't.

[@juligreenspan6007]

Having his shirt on or off doesn't affect the way he plays.

[@ericajohnson7535]

perfect bass tone, unlike that garbage Alembic sound...
