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.
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.
I had an opposite experience! I mail-ordered _Pictures At An Exhibition_ but on their new Manticore label. When it arrived, side 1 was fine, but side 2 was Fats Waller Live. Fortunately I had another copy of P.A.A.E. that was okay. That was early 70s.
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 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.
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.
@@DaleSteadman Sorry...What do you mean: "Even today"? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. "Today" comes marginally close. Get a grip man. Take a look around you. A wilderness..

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 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.
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.
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!
Perdón, para los conocedores del genero, ELP esta en el podio, nada de banda subvalorada, eso lo dirán los que solo han escuchado a pink floyd y piensan que es lo máximo, pero no, ELP, como músicos y compositores, son lejos mucho MÁS que los floyd.
I was studying music / piano seriously in those days. Of course we had to play Bach and all. So yes, when we saw a crazy prodigy rocker on stage dosing us with a little classical mixed in, we just looked at each other and smiled.
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

Hanya jiwa2 pembrontak yang membuat musik seperti ini. ELP adalah kumpulan pemusik2 semacam ini. Teknik mereka sangat tinggi!! Saya mendengar mereka tahun 1980 an. Sebagai otodidak saya "angkat tangan" terhadap musik mereka. Artinya saya tidak mungkin memainkannya!!! Pernah kepikiran membuat gabungan "gamelan Jawa" dengan musik diatonis(THN 1992 an), tapi tidak pernah kesampaian. Tidak pernah punya teman yang se ide!! Akhirnya yang muncul hanya gamelan ber "cita rasa rock". Dan sekarang saya tidak mungkin melanjutkan. Karena usia dan posisi(saya bukan guru musik lagi, karena pendukung saya yang riil hanya murid2 saya setingkat SMP. Berbahagialah Emerson, Lake, Palmer yang mencacat sejarah musik yang gila dan menemukan penggemarnya juga!!! Saya, otodidak, Jawa, Indonesia!(usia 68 tahun).
@@dsusilo8605 them and also the mahavishnu orchestra with John McLaughlin & Billy Cobham damn that was a super band!! Matter of fact they were even on tour with ELP.......
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. ;-) czcams.com/video/ukgraQ-xkp4/video.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.
ELP will always be one of the best bands that ever existed in my opinion. They were definitely one of my inspirations when I was young and still inspiring even today.
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.
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…
@@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
Keith Emerson's sense of harmonic wildness is just awesome. He is not JUST an incredible technician, he is just a physical crazy man. Yes, he attacks the keys in the truest sense. I love Rick Wakeman and all the other prog masters of the keyboard. But can anyone else do this?
Anyone whose played keyboards for a year can do the mindless horseshit Emerson plays here. Give me a fucking break. All these guys do is jerk-off on their instruments. “Incredible technician” - spoken like a guy with no musical training and no understanding of the instrument.
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.
Being a drummer and a huge fan of Carl Parmer - this video is great because you rarely got to watch his technique since he was always behind his superstack drum kit. Using pure jazz styled grip approach.
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.
Amen. And I had the good fortune to catch these guys live 3 times ('77, '78 and '92) and Carl Palmer again with Asia in '82. They were absolutely unforgettable.
@@johnwilliamson2707 And i got to see them once, down here in SOUTH FLORIDA, ....MIAMI!!! AWESOME!!!! remember the piano playing and it was spinning as being held up by cables....WOW. was that done at any of those concerts you went to and saw ELP? asking for a friend.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...I was SO blessed to have grown up in that era of the tremendous, brilliant musicians. We will never see a generation of music or musicians like that ever again. People today have NO idea what we were so fortunate to see and what they missed. You tube doesn't even touch the genius of what these artists could do. This was LIVE people...LIVE!!!
Every generation is filled with people who think that generation defined not only music, but everything else good in life. This band was part of the road map of my early life too. But they were just one band. I'm 71 now and there are bands just as amazing as ELP playing. You just have to get out there and see them. We live in the best time yet for music lovers.
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?
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.
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?
this video shows how truly gifted they are.. one of the most incredible bands ever...I love how they seem like shy school boys when they are first interviewed, then proceed to burn the house down
Haha, you're just a few years behind me. Graduated in '70. The year before this show I saw The Who introduce Tommy, opening bands were John Sebastian, Leon Russel, and Blues Image. Anaheim Stadium. The LA area was a great place for concerts back then. The Doors and Jefferson Airplane played at my HS in Van Nuys, June '67. 1st Dead show was Nov '70 at (I think) Winterland or maybe Fillmore. 2nd was at the Fillmore, 2 nights before Hot Tuna/Trinidad Steel Drum Band/Allman Bros. The latter played the whole "Filmore East" album and more. Again, our minds were blown.
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.
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 !!
Been a fan of theirs since the early 1970's and I love it today just as much. Music back then was so much deeper and complex then the shallow junk that comes out today. It took many months to write this kind of music, today's junk music gets written in a day.
Some refer to Rap as music. The term Rap music is a contradiction in terms. An oxymoron. Music is primarily a combination of harmony and melody. There are other aspects of music such as rhythm, however, as one who was a straight "A" student in music and have played over a dozen different instruments, I have my own opinion I suppose as to what is what with regard to the subject. Btw, I'm only 69 so I consider myself a ways away from "old age"! I still work as an aircraft mechanic so when I can no longer do my job..........then I'll take "old age" into consideration.
Keith Emerson. Nobody has ever played keyboards like him again. We lost something when we lost him and we will never get it back. The other two are nonetheless incredible musicians in their own right. I was at a concert once with their Brain Salad surgery tour sometime in the 70s. Unforgettable.
CG: Didn't get to see them until the "Black Moon" tour. While The Gorge at George (WA) is a singular venue and this remains the best live drumming performance I've ever seen, envy your seeing them during the "BSS" days!
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 could be wrong, but I think that Hendrix was gonna be in ELP, along with some other people. But it didn't work out. I heard that in a video about how ELP inspired early video game soundtracks. Really good video.
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 was wondering how that organ got so banged up, but after seeing Keith push it around the stage, nearly toppling it over, playing it upside down, backward, sidewise, riding it like a bucking bronco, and then stabbing it repeatedly with several knives -- I am wondering how it is still in one piece and still sounding magnificent! LOL! Crazy, brilliant, genius! RIP Keith, nobody ever played the keys like you and never will! You made Jerry Lee Lewis look like an amateur riding a tricycle! As a keyboardist, I owe Keith to my love of the keyboards! Nobody has every wowed me as much as he and his playing!
They were a power trio from the start, this in their first year as a band, amazing and beautiful to see great camera and editing in these early days of progressive rock music. I love how they blend in the folk and blues
We were lucky to be there. Despite the Vietnam war and turbulence, getting hassled by cops, etc., I wouldn't have wanted to have been born much later, or anywhere else (grew up in the L.A. suburbs) than I was because I got to see all the greats of the era at least once, some many times. Witnessing these guys and others morphing into progressive rock, the folk rock, and psychedelic rock / jazz movements was an epic experience. I wish there would be some really creative people creating new sounds and genres today...and not just the commercial B$ we see and hear for the most part these days.
At the beginning of the '70s, Rock music became very much more than it had been in the '60s. I was into Hard Rock, the beginnings of Heavy Metal, Glam Rock, Southern Rock and 'Theatrical Rock'. I loved it all. But when I bought the first album release by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, I discovered that they were TRUE MUSICIANS. These guys were talented, serious and seriously talented. The music was intricate, composed by three musical geniuses. And it was ROCK! I did my teens and early twenties during the '70s(best time of my life), and got to see many bands in concert. But there were some that I didn't get to see, live, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer was one of them. So now, at 62, I get to see this well made video of ELP on CZcams. It's not like seeing and hearing them perform, in the way I could have back then, but it's still very impressive! Thanks!
Christopher Schlacter Saw ELP once and it blew my mind. Regarding SRV I did him once in the mid 80’s and for me Stevie was to guitar what Emerson was to Keyboards.
@@christopherschlacter4953 At a tribute to John Hammond on June 29th , 1985 , I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn open up for Benny Goodman at Lincoln Center in N.Y.C. . He played for about a half hour . There was a very big buzzword. I was really there to see Goodman. In '83 , I saw the Serious Moonlight Tour (Bowie) at The Hammersmith Odeon in London. SRV had already been replaced by Earl Slick by that time. So , I never got to see SRV again. However , a pal that I knew from a great Irish Bar in The Bronx , 'An Beal Bocht' , was a guitarist from the Austin scene in the early seventies . His name was Diamond Joe Siddons . He knew them all . Willie , Billy, Johnny , Edgar , .... so on. He told me that Stevie Ray lived on his couch for five years . 'How did you get rid of him ' , I asked. 'He left with my Girlfriend !' >> look up Diamond Joe - he was backed up by Jimmy Vivino's band when I knew him.
Jeezus, those guys were great! Used to jam to them on my 8-track cassette player in my '71 Mercury Capri. Went to hear them live and blew my mind. My best friend was a drummer and worshipped Carl Palmer.
@@spotcatsteve3752 isn’t drumming just a component of percussion you know like a subset seems to me percussionist covers everything where is a Drummer is specific to sit in front of a basic kit
@@ericajohnson7535 i’ve always felt that way.. if an athlete in a given sport is useless after a certain age, the same should go for professional musicians and other entertainers. You have to reach you a point where you just can’t do as well as you used to. It wouldn’t make any sense otherwise.
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.
The band as a whole brought many talents. Carl Palmer was extraordinary in his drumming just like keith on the keyboards and lake with his vocals. Fantastic band in the end
Their music was their hobby and their life. True showmanship and talent. So very sad Keith and Greg are gone. Not everyone's cup of tea, I am sure, but you cannot say they were not, all three of them, very, very talented. I have been a fan since the 70's. I so wish I had experienced them live. Nothing main stream today can touch them.
Only other group would be Yes, in their own right, and in my humble opinion are neck and neck.. the talent and musicianship are gold standards. It'll never happen again.
They all seemed to have been able to reach unattainable talent levels that only compare to each other , in their differing modes of musical expression . How they all came together is but a miracle in time .
I can only imagine rehearsals. The other two do compliment Kieth exceedingly well and bring their own genius. Lake great voice and guitar/bass player. Palmer exceptional drummer! Probably two of a handful who could have keep up or complimented K. Love it when Lake tells him to piss off when he’s playing his cute little blues acoustic number, smile 😊 they seem to be having a hell of a good time!
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!!!
Jazz Techno Punk. That's what i'd call it. A remarkable performance to hear, and thank you for posting this. I used to be an old youth and now i'm a 73 year old guy. but truly, my previous ear had only heard the released versions of ELP's music, i.e., studio versions of "in the beginning, "lucky man", etc. and i like them. But to hear this is a reminder of the exemplary music that was happening at that time, which amazes me once again to hear it here. Interesting isn't it that there's no guitar. Except Emerson's keyboard that stretches out into a many-world; along with Palmer's drums, yeah! and the monumental Lake. Thanks once again for the Live Stuff! Old Youth.
@@tonyrosa4750 I don't think it's being mindless. At the same time, the idea of killing oneself in 1970, rather than get on your parent's hamster wheel life (remember The Graduate) was a sentiment often conveyed at that time. I'm pretty sure that's all Lake was expressing. Ironically and much more tragically in 2016, the phrase turned to reality with Keith Emerson. Perhaps on some level, being unable to play music (as he had) was exactly what prompted Emerson to take his own life. He sure was a sight to behold when performing though wasn't he?
@@tonyrosa4750 Some people are just dicks and it is hard for them to not show it ... take your comment above for example ... the word is 'rampant' ... if you're going to try to insult someone from the safety of your own obscurity ... at least use a spellchecker
For those who want to know, Emerson made the noise of the rumble by activating a spring reverb unit, which when hit produces that bang. The pitch bends were made by turning the motor of the Hammond L100 organ off and on.
I knew the reverb bit but I had always wondered how the pitch was shifted on a Hammond organ. Had heard other musicians do it too but never knew how. Thank you very much for that explanation.
@@nrlohan4738 Thanks to you for this comment. The L-1XX series of Hammond organs have an self-starting motor for the tone wheels, that is, turning this motor on and off varies the pitch generated by the organ. Adding overdrive to that sound, it sounded similar to a police car siren.
@@AugustoJParmaThanks again for this. Although I'm a guitarist, I have a collection of vintage analogue synths, but I've never had the chance to get to know Hammond organs close up because there are none that I know of here in Malaysia. Truly appreciate your explanation. Honestly, I feel much smarter now. At least I can now explain it to people who ask me about it. 🙂
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.
Absolutely!
The rock and roll Hall of Fame is just a tourist attraction. No merit
Huey Lewis was wrong! The Heart of Rock and Roll is not in Cleveland! Not yet! We're all waiting.
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.
They were, indeed, AWESOME!!!
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
I had an opposite experience! I mail-ordered _Pictures At An Exhibition_ but on their new Manticore label. When it arrived, side 1 was fine, but side 2 was Fats Waller Live. Fortunately I had another copy of P.A.A.E. that was okay. That was early 70s.
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.

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

Amazing when musicians were musicians.
When "music" was music; and musicians played and sang the music!
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
Carl Palmer is THE BEST Drummer I have ever seen. Over 100 Concerts and seeing him Twice.
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.
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’…
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.
One of my all time favorite bands. Greg Lake has one of the most beautiful voices in rock.
So true Linda ! We lost such a beautiful voice and gentleman !
Oh yes!!!
And don't forget Greg's work in King Crimson.
Also Asia
I think it`s THE BEST VOICE ever!
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!
The way he casually insert Bach's works in all those madness is just pure musical gift. Underrated band.
Perdón, para los conocedores del genero, ELP esta en el podio, nada de banda subvalorada, eso lo dirán los que solo han escuchado a pink floyd y piensan que es lo máximo, pero no, ELP, como músicos y compositores, son lejos mucho MÁS que los floyd.
Found the UNDERRATED comment!
I was studying music / piano seriously in those days. Of course we had to play Bach and all. So yes, when we saw a crazy prodigy rocker on stage dosing us with a little classical mixed in, we just looked at each other and smiled.
This is what happens when you put the three most talented musicians on the planet together. Pure, mind-bogling, chaotic beauty.
It was a bit of a fluke and they were too good for the blues obsessed snobs of the music press.
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!

Thank you!
My dad made me listen to these guys 27 years ago; I was 4. Greg Lake's voice is still my sweetest memory of me being a child.
Hanya jiwa2 pembrontak yang membuat musik seperti ini. ELP adalah kumpulan pemusik2 semacam ini. Teknik mereka sangat tinggi!! Saya mendengar mereka tahun 1980 an. Sebagai otodidak saya "angkat tangan" terhadap musik mereka. Artinya saya tidak mungkin memainkannya!!! Pernah kepikiran membuat gabungan "gamelan Jawa" dengan musik diatonis(THN 1992 an), tapi tidak pernah kesampaian. Tidak pernah punya teman yang se ide!! Akhirnya yang muncul hanya gamelan ber "cita rasa rock". Dan sekarang saya tidak mungkin melanjutkan. Karena usia dan posisi(saya bukan guru musik lagi, karena pendukung saya yang riil hanya murid2 saya setingkat SMP. Berbahagialah Emerson, Lake, Palmer yang mencacat sejarah musik yang gila dan menemukan penggemarnya juga!!! Saya, otodidak, Jawa, Indonesia!(usia 68 tahun).
yeeeesss same here
@@dsusilo8605 them and also the mahavishnu orchestra with John McLaughlin & Billy Cobham damn that was a super band!! Matter of fact they were even on tour with ELP.......
Эл&п взоовали мозг это была новая волна в роке не все понимали их музыку но они нашли своих слушателей
Real Musical Genius ! All three of them ! Glad I saw them perform in Rochester NY War Memorial ! An AMAZING show !!
I’m so glad I grew up with this kind of talent / music in the landscape of my life .
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. ;-) czcams.com/video/ukgraQ-xkp4/video.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.
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!
This is what happens when 3 badass musicians get together and play anything they want. Too perfection!
ELP will always be one of the best bands that ever existed in my opinion. They were definitely one of my inspirations when I was young and still inspiring even today.
I'm almost 70 and continue to enjoy this band's music still... pretty kool!
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.
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 !
AMMAAAZIIIIINNNG! What a great memory!
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…
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
Keith Emerson's sense of harmonic wildness is just awesome. He is not JUST an incredible technician, he is just a physical crazy man. Yes, he attacks the keys in the truest sense. I love Rick Wakeman and all the other prog masters of the keyboard. But can anyone else do this?
Too bad he killed himself
No brother, nobody can do this.... I love Lord, Wakeman .... But this man is out this world
Anyone whose played keyboards for a year can do the mindless horseshit Emerson plays here. Give me a fucking break. All these guys do is jerk-off on their instruments. “Incredible technician” - spoken like a guy with no musical training and no understanding of the instrument.
@@lastnamefirst4035Tragic he killed himself,he always seemed happy and he had everything to live for R I P technical wonder
Nobody can. When his hands became incapable, he ended it all.
But what a master. RIP
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.
Mind blowing drum solo by Palmer..wow!
Greatest rock and roll organist in the WORLD!!!🎉🎉🎉
Being a drummer and a huge fan of Carl Parmer - this video is great because you rarely got to watch his technique since he was always behind his superstack drum kit. Using pure jazz styled grip approach.
That was one of the most incredible drums solos ... speechless.
The fact that Carl Palmers' name doesn't come up more as a great drummer is beyond me.
I just don't get it either. It's nuts!@@debbiehanisch2099
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 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.
This is the most incredible live thing I’ve ever seen.
me too 🤯
Amen. And I had the good fortune to catch these guys live 3 times ('77, '78 and '92) and Carl Palmer again with Asia in '82. They were absolutely unforgettable.
@@johnwilliamson2707 And i got to see them once, down here in SOUTH FLORIDA, ....MIAMI!!! AWESOME!!!! remember the piano playing and it was spinning as being held up by cables....WOW. was that done at any of those concerts you went to and saw ELP? asking for a friend.
Live CONCERT.😂
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...I was SO blessed to have grown up in that era of the tremendous, brilliant musicians. We will never see a generation of music or musicians like that ever again. People today have NO idea what we were so fortunate to see and what they missed. You tube doesn't even touch the genius of what these artists could do. This was LIVE people...LIVE!!!
Every generation is filled with people who think that generation defined not only music, but everything else good in life. This band was part of the road map of my early life too. But they were just one band. I'm 71 now and there are bands just as amazing as ELP playing. You just have to get out there and see them. We live in the best time yet for music lovers.
I have to say even so called good bands today just mimick this era of music
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?
Pink Floyd, perhaps, whom I also love and who are iconic, but yet different..
Truly no one has
That's was our erria
AMAZING
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.
That's true........all 3 of them did.
Keith.
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?
this video shows how truly gifted they are.. one of the most incredible bands ever...I love how they seem like shy school boys when they are first interviewed, then proceed to burn the house down
I know. That was my immediate impression - how quiet and reserved they were - and then bam! What an unbelievable performance
@@paulmcdevitt2038 Notice that they didn't say anything during the performance. They just played.
As a junior high school student ,we had heard live bands before but then ELP blew our minds!!
Haha, you're just a few years behind me. Graduated in '70. The year before this show I saw The Who introduce Tommy, opening bands were John Sebastian, Leon Russel, and Blues Image. Anaheim Stadium. The LA area was a great place for concerts back then. The Doors and Jefferson Airplane played at my HS in Van Nuys, June '67. 1st Dead show was Nov '70 at (I think) Winterland or maybe Fillmore. 2nd was at the Fillmore, 2 nights before Hot Tuna/Trinidad Steel Drum Band/Allman Bros. The latter played the whole "Filmore East" album and more. Again, our minds were blown.
I grew up with my dad setting up an egregious amount of speakers in our back yard and blasting ELP albums
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.
Greg Lake has the sweetest voice in Prog Rock. Carl Palmer, King of Rock Drummers. Kieth Emerson, Kieth Emerson.
K e i t h
Emerson !
😂😂😂
An absolutely astounding amalgam of rock, progressive rock, jazz, and classical influences all rolled into one. Mind blowing!
music
the best ever
Nobody comes close to doing anything this epic today. Well, Phish comes close in their jams.
Loud? I saw them in '74 and my ears are still ringing!
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 !!
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, das Schlagzeugsolo ist einzigartig !!!!!!!!!!!!
Been a fan of theirs since the early 1970's and I love it today just as much. Music back then was so much deeper and complex then the shallow junk that comes out today. It took many months to write this kind of music, today's junk music gets written in a day.
Half of today's music isn't even music
@@mackydog99 I kind of agree, but once you say "that isn't music" then You've entered old age.☹️
Some refer to Rap as music. The term Rap music is a contradiction in terms. An oxymoron. Music is primarily a combination of harmony and melody. There are other aspects of music such as rhythm, however, as one who was a straight "A" student in music and have played over a dozen different instruments, I have my own opinion I suppose as to what is what with regard to the subject. Btw, I'm only 69 so I consider myself a ways away from "old age"! I still work as an aircraft mechanic so when I can no longer do my job..........then I'll take "old age" into consideration.
Me too! Shrooms and Brain Salad Surgery!
Me to

Houston Music Hall 1971, they were amazing. Keith was unbelievable. Still get a rush reliving these clips.
Greg Lake has such a great voice, it was unfortunate they didn’t use it more
Keith Emerson. Nobody has ever played keyboards like him again.
We lost something when we lost him and we will never get it back.
The other two are nonetheless incredible musicians in their own right.
I was at a concert once with their Brain Salad surgery tour sometime in the 70s.
Unforgettable.
CG: Didn't get to see them until the "Black Moon" tour. While The Gorge at George (WA) is a singular venue and this remains the best live drumming performance I've ever seen, envy your seeing them during the "BSS" days!
He and Jon Lord were two of the most talented keyboard players ever.
Hope you all saw Rick Wakeman!
@@reklovjj True He is on par with Keith. I still prefer Keith. Jon Lord was also a premium player too.
@@reklovjj Wakeman kicks ass, too!
I saw these guys in Boston in 1970. Still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
With Mahvishnu? Long Beach Calif,. '70/71.
Watching it for the first time 😢 unbelievably excellent ❤! Many thanks ❤
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 🙂
Saw that show at Madison Square Garden NYC... amazing beyond words! Weren't we lucky!!
RIP .. Greg Lake... You're an immortal now.. Never to be forgotten!
He was a wonderful musician and great singer...terrible news
Thank you, good night! 💟💟💟

Keith Emerson is to keyboards what Jimi Hendrix is to the guitar. I hope they are both jamming in heaven.
Great comment.
I could be wrong, but I think that Hendrix was gonna be in ELP, along with some other people. But it didn't work out.
I heard that in a video about how ELP inspired early video game soundtracks. Really good video.
Palmer's not bad on drums.
@@seivaDsugnA yeah, but he’s still alive.

Which one is the guy who said he bought a new car?
@@sharksport01 Carl Palmer :)
calm down, Aunt Pervy
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 went to an ELP concert instead of my senior prom--probably '74, the quadraphonic Brain Salad Surgery tour. It was fantastic!
Greg has the most fantastic voice in the world.
True musicianship, mysticism, witchy velvet outfits, psychedelic video editing, ... ELP ladies and gentleman
Emerson is the Jimi Hendrix of the keyboard.
I was wondering how that organ got so banged up, but after seeing Keith push it around the stage, nearly toppling it over, playing it upside down, backward, sidewise, riding it like a bucking bronco, and then stabbing it repeatedly with several knives -- I am wondering how it is still in one piece and still sounding magnificent! LOL! Crazy, brilliant, genius! RIP Keith, nobody ever played the keys like you and never will! You made Jerry Lee Lewis look like an amateur riding a tricycle!
As a keyboardist, I owe Keith to my love of the keyboards! Nobody has every wowed me as much as he and his playing!
It had to be rebuilt after every show, as did the Leslies he used.
They were a power trio from the start, this in their first year as a band, amazing and beautiful to see great camera and editing in these early days of progressive rock music. I love how they blend in the folk and blues
We were lucky to be there. Despite the Vietnam war and turbulence, getting hassled by cops, etc., I wouldn't have wanted to have been born much later, or anywhere else (grew up in the L.A. suburbs) than I was because I got to see all the greats of the era at least once, some many times. Witnessing these guys and others morphing into progressive rock, the folk rock, and psychedelic rock / jazz movements was an epic experience. I wish there would be some really creative people creating new sounds and genres today...and not just the commercial B$ we see and hear for the most part these days.
OMG! This is the wildest, insanely greatest performance I 've ever seen or heard! Absolutely love it! ❤️. These guys are pure musical genius's
At the beginning of the '70s, Rock music became very much more than it had been in the '60s. I was into Hard Rock, the beginnings of Heavy Metal, Glam Rock, Southern Rock and 'Theatrical Rock'. I loved it all. But when I bought the first album release by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, I discovered that they were TRUE MUSICIANS. These guys were talented, serious and seriously talented. The music was intricate, composed by three musical geniuses. And it was ROCK! I did my teens and early twenties during the '70s(best time of my life), and got to see many bands in concert. But there were some that I didn't get to see, live, and Emerson, Lake and Palmer was one of them. So now, at 62, I get to see this well made video of ELP on CZcams. It's not like seeing and hearing them perform, in the way I could have back then, but it's still very impressive! Thanks!
Saw them twice, brilliant. I never got to see my hero SRV, so I know how you feel.
I'm like you but a bit older 79years YOUNG and still loving this music till the day I die 😎😎😎
Christopher Schlacter Saw ELP once and it blew my mind. Regarding SRV I did him once in the mid 80’s and for me Stevie was to guitar what Emerson was to Keyboards.
@@christopherschlacter4953
At a tribute to John Hammond on June 29th , 1985 , I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn open up for Benny Goodman at Lincoln Center in N.Y.C. . He played for about a half hour . There was a very big buzzword. I was really there to see Goodman.
In '83 , I saw the Serious Moonlight Tour (Bowie) at The Hammersmith Odeon in London. SRV had already been replaced by Earl Slick by that time.
So , I never got to see SRV again.
However , a pal that I knew from a great Irish Bar in The Bronx , 'An Beal Bocht' , was a guitarist from the Austin scene in the early seventies . His name was Diamond Joe Siddons . He knew them all . Willie , Billy, Johnny , Edgar , .... so on.
He told me that Stevie Ray lived on his couch for five years . 'How did you get rid of him ' , I asked.
'He left with my Girlfriend !'
>> look up Diamond Joe -
he was backed up by
Jimmy Vivino's band
when I knew him.
Jeezus, those guys were great! Used to jam to them on my 8-track cassette player in my '71 Mercury Capri. Went to hear them live and blew my mind. My best friend was a drummer and worshipped Carl Palmer.
Wow! Amazing drum solo!!! Greg Lakes voice...unreal.Emersons..mind boggling
I was 17 and saw them live.. I was totally blown away and will never forget!
What a power trio,...the talent is off the charts,...ELP for life!
That organ deserves a medal
Blown away by this band.
Awesome.
I'd forgotten just how good Carl Palmer is. Not just a rock drummer but also a percussionist
I said the same on another channel and received some abuse as if drumming is different to being a percussionist. 😮
@@spotcatsteve3752 isn’t drumming just a component of percussion you know like a subset seems to me percussionist covers everything where is a Drummer is specific to sit in front of a basic kit
The ones making the greatest rock drummer polls have been gaslighting everyone. Carl Palmer is the GOAT of rock drummers!
he is awful now... must be an age thing
@@ericajohnson7535 i’ve always felt that way.. if an athlete in a given sport is useless after a certain age, the same should go for professional musicians and other entertainers. You have to reach you a point where you just can’t do as well as you used to. It wouldn’t make any sense otherwise.
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.
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
The band as a whole brought many talents. Carl Palmer was extraordinary in his drumming just like keith on the keyboards and lake with his vocals. Fantastic band in the end
Their music was their hobby and their life. True showmanship and talent. So very sad Keith and Greg are gone. Not everyone's cup of tea, I am sure, but you cannot say they were not, all three of them, very, very talented. I have been a fan since the 70's. I so wish I had experienced them live. Nothing main stream today can touch them.
Only other group would be Yes, in their own right, and in my humble opinion are neck and neck.. the talent and musicianship are gold standards. It'll never happen again.
Emerson - Lake - & Palmer, young, raw, and undoubtedly at their very finest. This is the real thing...
One of the greatest bands, ever. ELP is a legendary band forever.
I hope there are young people out there who see/listen to this and appreciate it. Music scene these days is poprapcountry dead.
I have loved this band all my life even their slow songs kick ass
They were too good.
They all seemed to have been able to reach unattainable talent levels that only compare to each other , in their differing modes of musical expression . How they all came together is but a miracle in time .
Exacly
Something that happens every 500 years
That's why they were beating up each other on stage at times for real
@@estebanvalle715 Salmon Row With Suay.
I can only imagine rehearsals. The other two do compliment Kieth exceedingly well and bring their own genius. Lake great voice and guitar/bass player. Palmer exceptional drummer! Probably two of a handful who could have keep up or complimented K. Love it when Lake tells him to piss off when he’s playing his cute little blues acoustic number, smile 😊 they seem to be having a hell of a good time!
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.
Jazz Techno Punk. That's what i'd call it. A remarkable performance to hear, and thank you for posting this. I used to be an old youth and now i'm a 73 year old guy. but truly, my previous ear had only heard the released versions of ELP's music, i.e., studio versions of "in the beginning, "lucky man", etc. and i like them. But to hear this is a reminder of the exemplary music that was happening at that time, which amazes me once again to hear it here. Interesting isn't it that there's no guitar. Except Emerson's keyboard that stretches out into a many-world; along with Palmer's drums, yeah! and the monumental Lake. Thanks once again for the Live Stuff! Old Youth.
One of the greatest British bands we still enjoy
Thanks!!!
Super group! All stars!! Greg Lake's voice... eternal.
True🎶🎼🎵😎👊
The voice....Robert Plant from LED ZEP.....
Beautiful 🖤
When Greg Lake said he'd commit suicide instead of getting a job, I really felt that.
Boy are you smart ? Not in the LEAST. MINDLESSNESS still RUNS RAMPIT in your families TREE .
@@tonyrosa4750 I don't think it's being mindless. At the same time, the idea of killing oneself in 1970, rather than get on your parent's hamster wheel life (remember The Graduate) was a sentiment often conveyed at that time. I'm pretty sure that's all Lake was expressing. Ironically and much more tragically in 2016, the phrase turned to reality with Keith Emerson. Perhaps on some level, being unable to play music (as he had) was exactly what prompted Emerson to take his own life. He sure was a sight to behold when performing though wasn't he?
@@tonyrosa4750 Some people are just dicks and it is hard for them to not show it ... take your comment above for example ... the word is 'rampant' ... if you're going to try to insult someone from the safety of your own obscurity ... at least use a spellchecker
Works never ends, many work early grave
Too bad actually Keith did when his right hand started going south
For those who want to know, Emerson made the noise of the rumble by activating a spring reverb unit, which when hit produces that bang. The pitch bends were made by turning the motor of the Hammond L100 organ off and on.
Thanks but I knew that Augusta I've been listening since 1970 and I'm a borderline genius IQ. Haha but thanks anyway for those less gifted. LOL
absolutely the 2 questions in my mind,watching that...now brilliantly answered!!!!!!!!!thnx.
I knew the reverb bit but I had always wondered how the pitch was shifted on a Hammond organ. Had heard other musicians do it too but never knew how. Thank you very much for that explanation.
@@nrlohan4738 Thanks to you for this comment. The L-1XX series of Hammond organs have an self-starting motor for the tone wheels, that is, turning this motor on and off varies the pitch generated by the organ. Adding overdrive to that sound, it sounded similar to a police car siren.
@@AugustoJParmaThanks again for this. Although I'm a guitarist, I have a collection of vintage analogue synths, but I've never had the chance to get to know Hammond organs close up because there are none that I know of here in Malaysia. Truly appreciate your explanation. Honestly, I feel much smarter now. At least I can now explain it to people who ask me about it. 🙂
Savage...Stunning...Beautiful...Brutal...Amazing
And GLORIOUS.
We were blessed to live in a time witnessing this genius of spirits, which in future may be called a New Classic. Long live youth and creativity !

Carl Palmer’s playing is massively inspired

I saw PLMER IN ny last year. At age 80, he was astounding. Couldn’t see any difference.
@@weidmanlaw Palmer was 71 in 2021 but is still a brilliant percussionist.
Hard to believe 2 of the 3 are gone :( Musical geniuses!
