- Progressive rock superstar Greg Lake takes stage front and centre with his well-known voice and sublime guitar playing, rocking out in this exquisitely filmed documentary taped in 2005 at the U.K.'s Shepperton Film Studios.
One of the best vocalists on the planet. Rest in peace, Greg Lake.
No doubt, very distinctive voice and for sure in my top 10 Rock vocalists ever!
@@stargazer2756 He's right at the top of my list right along with Steve Perry. The only reason that I would rank Lake higher than Perry is simply because I've listened to Lake longer (King Crimson, ELP).
@@HatterasJeepguy I agree. Another consideration would be Paul Rogers of Bad Co. and The Free. There are others but those are some of my personal favorites!😄
Absolutely !
One of the very few Christmas songs that I can be moved by at any time of the year, superb.
not even close to being a christmas song, if you'd bothered listening to the words....
Since his passing, this song gets me so emotional. Hope you and Keith are making some great music in heaven.
No such place, dude.
wherever Greg is, I still love him, and am so glad to see these videos...
EMERSON LAKE AND PEART now maybe....
that'd be interesting....
of course COZY is over there with them as well....
DITTO !
Thanks Regina for making this video available and for continuing his legacy also with manticore label.
This song always touches my heart . I miss Greg Lake. He is one of the best Ever !! ~Cynthia~
It isn’t Christmas until I hear this incredible song.
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree's smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
They told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
My all time favorite Christmas song.
Miss these guys...ELP, one of my favorite bands over the years. RIP Greg Lake
beautiful. We miss you Greg. The Christmas we get we deserve.
Very good musician with a fantastic voice. R.I.P. Greg
This is such s nostalgic and touching song. Thanks so much to Regina for sharing it.
Love it. My favorite version is with Greg and Ian Anderson from Tull, in a cathedral.
Absolutely brilliant. Grew up listening to Thus song every year. A master at work.
Incredible talent!
Saw him twice on this tour he signed the lyrics for this and i have it mounted with a copy of the original disc ,great concerts ,a legend and good to hear his legacy will continue.
A beautiful song sung by a beautiful man ... I had the pleasure of seeing Greg live and meeting him in 2005 and he played this for everyone ... ELP always have been and always will be my favourite band of all time ... the first big band I ever saw at Wembley in 1974 and it was an introduction into my journey of discovery into great music ... Greg and Keith will always be in my heart and are a part of my very soul ... while others at this time were writing party songs for Christmas Greg came up with this masterpiece which must be seen as a modern day Christmas Carol ... miss you so much Mr Lake X
I remember them when I was stationed in England in the early 70's. Always loved their music.
WONDERFUL!! Thank you! Sure do miss Greg and his great voice and talent.
Thank you this Regina, his voice is amazing, to me the best in the business. Gone too soon, RIP.
Best Christmas song EVER!!

RIP GREG your music lives on forever
RIP Greg Lake // We missing you
Thank you Regina for sharing this version. Happy Christmas in Heaven to Greg,Keith,and Tony Ortiz. Still believe in Father Christmas all these later
I remember telling Greg how much this song meant to me, and how it helped inspire me to create my poster Athena. That The WHO sing the song "Athena" about. I was at a celebrity banquet in 1984 when I talked to Greg. He told me he was really touched by the fact that he had been part of my inspiration to create my poster and mystery. And how much the song "I Believe in Father Christmas" meant to me.
Thank you Regina, for sharing your beloved Gregory with us. I will always love him and his beautiful voice and music. Thank you also for continuing with Manticore.

Thank you, Regina, for sharing this with us all. My Mum lived just across the road from Shepperton Studios and we passed by there a few weeks ago. I didn't know Greg had filmed there. It's such a special song - the very essence of our contemporary Western Christmas.
