I’m 68 on July 1st, I do enjoy watching today’s grandchildren reacting to the greatest music ever produced. They actually appreciate how great it was;) I tell them to tell their grand parents how lucky they were to grow up with the golden age of Rock n Roll, 1955-1980!!
I was blessed to be a child from 10 on listening to this music and loving. I now remember words to things I listened to with my parents and their friends and kids. Such a fun age and time. I am truly blessed with the best parents but I learned with them. They are amazing people in every sense of giving kind fun constant presence. I learned but didn’t appreciate or realize until later.
We were blessed and didn't know it! There will never be music like this again. The music of my teen years! When life was slower, easier and just lighter feeling! RIP Greg Lake!
So true!!! This is such a beautiful song, amongst so many others of our youth! For me, Greg Lake had one of the greatest voices and seemed like such a nice person! Definitely very talented! Is it just because it was our youth or simply beautiful music? I think both!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@chrishenry5945 Considering the staggering amount of independent music that's out there today you must not be looking for it. I guarantee you it's out there.
Meet Greg Lake when ELP opened for Jethro Tull in 1996 at the PNC Bank in Jersey. He was a true gentleman and signed all my albums and guitar. Afterwards, he asked if we could sit and chat. I felt so honored. RIP you will be missed. ❤
I got the 45 rpm of this in 1971 for Christmas… I remember lying on the floor by the Christmas tree in the dark with just the tree lights on, listening to this , over and over….
God, that guitar intro...their smiles & youth...this whole piece is just full of talent and a special magic. What a time to be young...65 y/o young here.
I’m 68 and will never ever allow days moments time or year after this era to interfere or compare the awesome beautiful music the tones, the strings, The Voice the passion and I would not change anything for the world because today is even more beautiful and awesome because back in the day
An old friend invited us over to his apartment during a junior high school skip day during the early 80's ( '81) and played this guitar sequence for us. He was highly talented musically but tortured too and succumbed to drugs shortly afterwards. He was a kind soul and everyone cheered for his future success in music, life but unfortunately, we all have our demons! This song reminds me of the fleeting innocence of our youth, the kindness of most people then, and great music allows us to revisit these memories with mixed emotions. R.I P. Doug!

This song has the ability to transport you back in time to a magical period in ours lives when we were free, no worries and not a care in the world. Living for the moment and the next good time.
Hallo 🙂, ich würde sagen, solange wir diese schöne Musik hören und solange es unsere Herzen berührt - ist es fast so als die noch am leben wären ...LG 🙂🙋♀️@@kingktakeiarthurbrown1226
Saw them with Ten Years After May 1st 1971 at the Forum. Words cannot describe these concerts but they are with me still. Goosebumps whenever I hear this song. Touches my heart and soul. My God I am blessed to have been born when I was
Great show you saw ! We were so fortunate to have grown up in that era . I’ve seen many concerts. The only reason we could was because the prices were so reasonable back then . The concert you went to probably cost you $12.00 or so . I consider myself so lucky . Have a great summer
Oh yes Scott we were so blessed to be able have been there. Have a lot of my ticket stubs. Saw Led Zeppelin at the Rose Palace in Pasadena for $3.50! Unbelievable I would not trade when we grew up for anything. Have a brilliant day.
@@MrUsermister I quit music radio in 1981 a cause there was nothing new being done, just more “she/he done me wrong” songs like has been being done since 1955/forever. Since 2000 you can’t know for sure you ain’t hearing either autotune, or today AI as opposed to the talent linda, Bette, Diana, Aretha. Sinatra, Como, Lennon, CSNY, etc were!!

@@kevinmcconnell3641 ... interesting you quote "autotune, or today AI" on this very song and video ... I guess it was Greg Lake himself, who once said on an interview, that music started to "degenerate" not with internet or the computer, but way before with the "WALKMAN" stating that listening to music (with the walkman) would isolate yourself, and music itself would not be a shared experience anymore. And I guess he was right, especially when you consider how misused the word "share" has become nowadays. R.I.P. Greg & Keith
This is the music dreams came from...so loved. Felt so deep in your soul. Pure magic and, yes, it is only for those of us who lived it. And we can still let it slide us back to those days ...
We did live it. No one can touch that. If you were there you’ll get it. If not, then you missed a great trip. So lucky to be on the front row. ❤ love in May 2024
I know what you mean, but this music is a gift for anyone who hears it. Young people in particular resonate with this music because it is indeed timeless.
I'm 69 and got Trilogy when it came out. Listening to this song brings me back to a friends living room, intimate party, just a few couples. Drinking beer , smoking dope and this song is on. It's heaven. I'm a pianist and Keith was my first hero (Wakeman the second). His end was such a tragedy. Long live ELP.
I don’t know if it’s true he was so depressed by talentless critics saying he couldn’t play as well but he had arthritis n you know he had to do his best, makes me so mad, all the members of ELP were virtuosos n pioneered more than these auto tune idiots ever will
@@kathyjacques2688 Yea he had severe nerve damage in his right hand, was going through a divorce and had financial problems. But more than anything it had to just be killing him, after all those years of being the virtuoso, to not be able to play like he had.
Almost sounding as if it couldn't possibly come from the hand of man, this may be the most hauntingly beautiful and dreamy pieces of music in all of Rock history.
We have been together for 42 years and this is our song . . . "You were meant to be here from the beginning" - we are soul mates living in paradise - his mother says I am just a smaller version of him - xoxox
I saw Emerson, Lake and Palmer back in the late 60s or early 70s in Wildwood NJ. All I remember was standing right at the stage front dancing all night long. To this day, I still love them and their music. ❤️❤️❤️
@@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe. I adore Dave Groel, as an artist and person. Don’t know who Drake is. Nothing, and no one, can top Greg Lake’s voice. Having said that, I remember saying the same thing about Bob Dylan in the mid-60’s. It was true until I heard Greg Lake’s voice three months ago. I am so glad to have found him on UA-cam. Now that I have heard the first album of King Crimson, I regret not having seen him in concert. Really regret it! Take advantage of every opportunity to do something you want so you don’t have regrets 60 years from now. 😊
I remember the first time I heard ELP. Some of my friends and I skipped school, high school in the 70's, probably 1973/74? and ended up at this dudes house, didn't know him, as the way it usually was, he was a friend of a friend, but MAN did I love this group! He said, " have you ever heard this"? It was Trilogy. GOOD MEMORIES!
Listening to this made my mind flashback to 1982, it’s three o’clock in the morning. I’m driving to work on the newspaper route, the streets are empty, this is playing on my radio. I don’t know why this song always ties me to this point in time? 🤷🏻
First saw them at the Nassau Coliseum that was my first concert ever in 1973 or so. Brain Salad Surgery had the music alternating from speakers all around the concert hall. Amazing. Then I saw them at Radio City Music Hall. Still super great.
The way the bubbly/spacy sounds of Keith's Moog blends so beautifully and organically with Greg's guitar and voice, is incredibly unique and emotional. Has anyone else ever made music even remotely like this song? Even ELP never repeated it.
I have been an old school audiophile and recently bought a Yamaha natural sound network receiver R-N303 and hooked up to my 25 year old Wharedale 150w 6ohm speakers, the sound is beautiful. The receiver doesn’t care if it’s mismatched, it just plays beautifully and listening to this song is 😍
Who here thinks Emerson Lake and Palmer belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I do May 2024
What??? They aren't??? They definitely should be!!

We were so very lucky to be living in a time when music like this came about...
NO ONE MAKES MUSIC THIS MAGICAL, THESE DAYS.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!
Indeed!
True true true 👏
Music did use to feel like it had magical properties. It doesn’t seem to have the same soul these days.

Our generation had the best of everything but mostly music its truly timeless
The 70's a magical time.
And we got to go to all of the concerts of the now "classic rock" bands and usually didn't pay more than ten dollars for a ticket.
One of those songs I never get tired of listening to

Who else listened to this in a friend's basement??
Absolutely!!
Also, Heard it Through the Grapevine!

Musicians sing from deep inside, sometimes troubled other times ecstatic but these feelings touch us like an echo from our souls.

Today's music is garbage compared to 70's music like this.😢
You're right @mick
For me it’s the fact that you can no longer know if it’s talent or AI!
Or autotune over the past 25 years!

Oui une voix chaude et réconfortante
ELP nailed the groovy, slightly dark vibe of the 70’s with this song. Magical.
Greg Lake is one of the greats- humble, yet talented beyond so many of his contemporaries. Died way too young…
1972 Spliff in one hand and glass of wine in the other. I was totally in love with them, from the beginning.
😊❤ the best way to remember them. From the beginning.
I was right there with ya in 72.
BIG FAN OF E.L.P. &THIER MUSIC,,SAW THEM LIVE IN 75.
Magical every time i hear it.
It brings back so many great memories.
One of the best songs EVER!
It's all so very clear...this music was meant to be here..from the very Beginning. 😊
And still it turns me on!
💖💖💖
That first chord strum always gives me goosebumps. ELP got me through my teen years. (1960s-70s.) God, I still love this song.
Take all of today's music, make a smoothie and you don't get a second of this song.
Greg Lake was the magic of this band , his guitar playing was perfect and he had a voice to match
So peaceful, like some wise being telling you everything will be all right...
I love their music. Since the beginning!
Greg’s voice and guitar along with the moog synthesizer are like a fine blended Bourbon. 70s music at it’s best

This is the song that made me love EL&P FOREVER!!!
ONE ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SONGS TIMELESS and PERFECT it will NEVER GET OLD or LOST AS A PERFECT SONG
First time I heard Greg Lake‘s voice I was hooked. Just incredible vocals…
Theses profound songs touched our hearts. Today Swift touches shallow people's hearts. Sad.
RIP Greg Lake, you were a legend with King Crimson and soared to greatness with ELP
I love this band. Very talented the three of them. Very innovative and special lyrics. One of the most unique band of all times.❤❤❤
This song always takes me back to the Gulf of Tonkin.

Another one of my favorite "summer" cuts! Doesn't have to come out in the summer, it just reminds me of summer.
ELP was a fantastic band but overlooked by most. Way ahead of their time and very talented! Yes they should be in the hall of fame!!!
One of the best bands in the 70’s. Saw them two times. Brain Salad Surgery and at the California Jam in ‘74. Good times
I was at the Jam too, I was pretty obsessed with ELP and love them still
Omg caljam, I haven't heard that word in so long 😂❤
madison square garden with the full orchestra

Back to 70s 😢 forever young 😢
1972...getting stoned to EL&P...heaven!
One of the top classical rock groups from the 70's. Right up there with the likes of the Moody Blues and Pink Floyd. Pure talent.
Yes
One of the best concerts I ever saw ELP!!!!
I saw ELP at the Long Beach Arena back in 1974 😊
Sentimentos bem guardados de um tempo mágico que músicas como essa fazem recordar.❤
ELP. A fantastic forgotten band.
Never forgotten....
I have been an old school audiophile and recently bought a Yamaha natural sound network receiver R-N303 and hooked up to my 25 year old Wharedale 150w 6ohm speakers, the sound is beautiful. The receiver doesn’t care if it’s mismatched, it just plays beautifully and listening to this song is 😍

The Greatest Song Performed by the Greatest Talent and Voice…
Great song, by a great group, that was great in concert.
EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER...CLASSICS.
WOW WHAT A FANTASTIC TIME
Greg Lake was a superbly talented and beautiful man in every way!
I don't care that it doesn't sync up, I'm just happy to see the beautiful footage of Greg that I've never seen before. Lovely video.
Im too young to know these guys , Although just found them, and Love ❤️ 😍
Magical, artists that take you on a time travel..... This is an era that created music ☮️🎵🎶🎼🌻
