Can you imagine hearing this LIVE? Good lord, it's the best combo of showmanship, spectacle, and composition. Of course Bartok, but I can't think of a better version other than his own.
Emerson and Lake working together again. That is something in the present. Let's charish the past and look forward to there genius again. Have a NICE X mas
Just listen to the fuzz on greg lake's bass. Awesome!! Palmer's drumming was already great. He really shines in BSS. Kieth sounds awesome as well! Real music!
Virtuosity. I found it. I was born in the 90s and I have missed all this. Bless god for youtube. Without it I would propably never have seen such a performance as this.
I worship emerson, lake and palmer like kings or gods, mindblowing video, kick ass bad ass song, carl's insane drumming, keith and greg is hardcore rockin it out
Carl's a friggin baby in this. He was only 19 when the band formed. He was 20, when they released their first LP (IIRC). Even then he was a virtuoso, bordering on prodigy.
@MrDeppness Rush entered the business as average musicians hashing out Led Zep sounding stuff. Nothing compared to the immense talent that ELP arrived on the scene with.
to everyone, this was popular music back then. those were times when making music was for the love of it, nowadays the formula has been copied endless times, and money is flowing more than ever corruption my friends
@lukuntri But Gentle Giant also had a virtuoso concert pianist along with four other multi-instrumentalist players and they were, if nothing else, incredibly interesting.
If anyone wanders what ELP could have sounded like with five members, check out Gentle Giant. I always felt they were a couple bands short of being really interesting.
I don´t agree totally. Pieces like Tarkus or Toccata stood the test of time. And Emerson´s keyboard work is still outstanding - and as a studied/prof. musician I dare to believe to have the qualification to say that. Sometimes I read coms like Jon Lord, the Godfather of the Hammond or similar bullshit. In rock history there is no keyboard player - especially on Hammond - who comes close! On the other side: Rush obviously isn´t a typical guitar trio - they are a class of it´s own.
@renemill All those bands were 'Progressive' in that they were challenging themselves to play complicated extended compositions requiring extreme virtuosity. However, Mahavishnu, 11th House, WR were labeled fusion because their 'progression' consisted in achieveing a balanced 'fusing' of the jazz & rock disciplines whereas bands like ELP, Genesis, PFM, Camel, Hatfield & the North etc. were less jazzy & more steeped in the Euopean Classical tradition which they also 'fused' with rock.
@kevot9 Saw Permanent waves tour. Neil was great. Never seen ELP I was to young. But I think Palmer had the greater ability. He has more resources than Peart.
I love the trio sound without guitar - and I hate to play with guitar players as well as I hate guitar sounds. That´s a simple statement - easy to understand.
Totally agree - but Rush? I don´t think they could be mentioned as something that followed ELP. Imo the chapter ELP and progrock keyboard trio was finished with ELP´s split.
@MrDeppness No doubt. Rush is definitely up there. The stuff they're recording these days is good but in a different way, the musicianship has kind of transcended though, not as raw. But early Rush and later Rush are 2 different styles just like almost any other band that's been active for that long.
If any UK based ELP fan guitarist/vocalists who can play & sing Greg's parts would like to get together and have a go then please message me here via TH-cam. I have a lot of their numbers sorted on keyboards and also have a drummer waiting..! Hope to hear from some of you soon... Raffy.
@renemill Zappa is the MOST PROG of all prog in that he's mainly influenced by 20th century composers & his compositions are by far the most complicated & difficult to play. That's why his musicians, Vinnie Colaiuta, Warren Cuccurullo, Steve Vai, Jean-Luc Ponty, etc. are always the best. When people want to hate on Prog-Rock music they always leave Zappa out because they know they can't win the 'pretentious' argument against someone who's dead serious & completely satirical at the same time.
supergroup, having achieved almost hendrix, not Heber been dying before burning them, keyboardist Keith Emerson of The Nice, Greg Lake from King Crimson bassist: and Carl Palmer from Atomic Rooster drummer join forces in this group of dyes and progressive very good, where its main elements are the Moog keyboard and structures of classical music.
@MrDeppness I don't thinks so. Rush is great! But they start getting to me at times because they are so rehursed. ELP was much more improvisational and natural. They had many different textures.
@DavySaxon Rush was definitely a progressive-rock band from 2112 to Signals. After "Signals' they became a conventional rock act with little progressive content. They fell into the less is more trap when Peter Gabriel & Brian Eno did less-is-more so brilliantly on their early albums. Of course, you can be minimalist & still progress if your concept is strong, the way Kraftwerk, Harmonia & Cluster did in Germany but Rush just screwed up the absolute perfection they achieved on "Moving Pictures."
@TouchingYou i know you meant they changed the music world, but i'm a big fan of both, ELP may have been a big influence for showing the music world what 3 guys were capable of doing, Yes i don't think had much influence on chaging the music world, because the facts are and you have to be a big fan, Pink Floyd was responsible for changing the music world, No one realized how good David Gilmour was till he joined floyd and today he is hands down the greatest guitarist ever. every album proves it.
I'm not sure if they changed the world but without them I know for sure progressive rock would not be what it is today. Plus metal would suck these days without ELP and King Crimson.
??? I think you misunderstood something - of course this is a distorted bass, where´s the problem? I love ELP for their music and for their sound (nearly) without an electric guitar. But next time watch your words...
I said guitars, not bass guitars. And MY experiences with guitar players and my taste in music is just part of me as a musician. Are you able to understand that? (I guess not ...........)
I've been where your at with Rush dude, you are obviously on this page because you know that ELP pose a threat to Rush. Just except them for what they are.

Emerson Lake & Palmer was the best supergroup that ever existed.
A great tribute to the genius of Bela Bartok who actually wrote the classical work this came from.
ELP is one of the greatest bands of all time.
This music will never stop reigning supreme.
Still have the original album,perfect condition from 1971.Still sounds as good as it did then.
Can you imagine hearing this LIVE? Good lord, it's the best combo of showmanship, spectacle, and composition. Of course Bartok, but I can't think of a better version other than his own.
Dude, that bass sound is SO incredibly awesome.
Emerson and Lake working together again. That is something in the present. Let's charish the past and look forward to there genius again. Have a NICE X mas

mindblowing video, kick ass bad ass song, carl's insane drumming, keith and greg is hardcore rockin it out
This song was once the theme song to the Creature Double Feature on WLVI Ch. 56 during the late 70's and early 80's. Love it.
I had the pleasure of spending an evening with them after a concert in Pittsburgh back in the 70's. Very nice guys, as well as talented.
All three very talented musicians. They are very young on this video but they still play like nobody else!
YAY! Bela Bartok!!! :D
Gotta love Palmer's drumming on this - spectacular, best I've ever heard. The build up towards the end is phenomenal.
Carl's a friggin baby in this. He was only 19 when the band formed. He was 20, when they released their first LP (IIRC). Even then he was a virtuoso, bordering on prodigy.
In their dreams Bartók appeared and said: You MUST to play that VERY GOOD!
That big rush can be understood...
Recorded in Brussels Belgium 1971, pictures in the city and at the Theatre 140 concerthall. Awesome!
Now I NEED more Carl Palmer. Just , simply, have to see it. Fuck, feel it.
Thank you though, so much for that. Oomph and wow. I love it! Thank you.
The original : Bela Bartok: Allegro barbaro ;) But it's still an amazing rework.
its funny when keith and greg smile at each other as if to say hey man were too good lol
i love this song the bass drums and keyboards!
Rock & Roll your eyes!
It's a shame Greg did not put that slamming bass intro in the studio album.
OH MY GOD, THIS IS FUCKING GOOD
Great clips!
Bartók would be proud on this interpretation!
mai napig szeretem a zenéjüket, és most megrendülve veszem tudomásul a szomorú hírt......egy nagyon nagy űr maradt nélküled!
@DigiPal They just arranged one of Bartok's most famous solo piano piece called Allegro Barbaro.
RIP Lake.
RIP Emo - King of The Keys
@MrDeppness Rush entered the business as average musicians hashing out Led Zep sounding stuff. Nothing compared to the immense talent that ELP arrived on the scene with.
I like it !!!!!!
to everyone, this was popular music back then.
those were times when making music was for the love of it, nowadays the formula has been copied endless times, and money is flowing more than ever
corruption my friends
one of the best jazz rock trios, the original Trio of Doom
@lukuntri But Gentle Giant also had a virtuoso concert pianist along with four other multi-instrumentalist players and they were, if nothing else, incredibly interesting.
Love the look on Carl Palmers face at 5:10 :)
Carl Palmer's a BEAST
If anyone wanders what ELP could have sounded like with five members, check out Gentle Giant. I always felt they were a couple bands short of being really interesting.
RIP Keith
this is so awesome lollol
Heavy sinfonica. Hard rock filarmonica.
I think Mozart did not have the resources to play like that. He would have appreciate it and love it
Holy shit!
EPIC

It's awesome! No, not ... It's awesome!*_*
Thanks for the video .=)
@kevot9 Saw Permanent waves tour. Neil was great. Never seen ELP I was to young. But I think Palmer had the greater ability. He has more resources than Peart.
I agreed my friend
killer. killer. killer
it was a surreal experience. ate lobster and swam.
Would you stop it with the recordings allready! These guys were and are the greatest ever!
I love the trio sound without guitar - and I hate to play with guitar players as well as I hate guitar sounds. That´s a simple statement - easy to understand.
@ZombieToaster well, this was "pop" music back then. but your right, "rock" music is a more fitting title
Totally agree - but Rush? I don´t think they could be mentioned as something that followed ELP. Imo the chapter ELP and progrock keyboard trio was finished with ELP´s split.
@ZombieToaster. Yeah, dude, settle down.
@DigiPal In the beginning of the video it says pop music. But this is about as far from pop music you can get unless you go into abstract music.
@MrDeppness No doubt. Rush is definitely up there. The stuff they're recording these days is good but in a different way, the musicianship has kind of transcended though, not as raw. But early Rush and later Rush are 2 different styles just like almost any other band that's been active for that long.
In Boston that is.
@sabbathmc97 He used (maybe still) Dunlop Fuzz Face--thick and zizzy.
@kevot9 Thats true. with the exception of a couple tunes.
dios no existe, esto si ! que banda ! la cajeta del mono..

OMG! Bartok is turning himself in his grave!

Gregs bass sounds friggin sweet! Any one know what Fuzz/Distortion he's using?
@indi626 you can get the same sound with the standard overdrive pedal of boss odb 3 i think its called and with new strings
@scoobes11 Not to mention the voice of the band. Geddy Lee compared to Greg Lakes young voice?
They were hated by rock bands at the time. They thought, "do we have to play like this? we are really fucked!"
Bela Bartok fuckin crazy xD
supergroup, having achieved almost hendrix, not Heber been dying before burning them, keyboardist Keith Emerson of The Nice, Greg Lake from King Crimson bassist: and Carl Palmer from Atomic Rooster drummer join forces in this group of dyes and progressive very good, where its main elements are the Moog keyboard and structures of classical music.
@gnr147 Its also a genre of music.
@MrDeppness I don't thinks so. Rush is great! But they start getting to me at times because they are so rehursed. ELP was much more improvisational and natural. They had many different textures.
@ZombieToaster ELP was pop because they were popular, the term pop in the 90s was degraded because of MTV
@DavySaxon Rush was definitely a progressive-rock band from 2112 to Signals. After "Signals' they became a conventional rock act with little progressive content.

@MrDeppness Not to mention at the peak ELP was a much bigger draw then Rush. Selling out 60,000 seat stadiums.
What do you meen by "They didn't even write this song"?!?!?
No... they came and opened the gates to the flood. No overpricing there.
I'm not sure if they changed the world but without them I know for sure progressive rock would not be what it is today. Plus metal would suck these days without ELP and King Crimson.
@TouchingYou
King Crimson
Bela Bartok - Allegro Barbaro - AND - citroen ds at 0:30
sorry :)
@MrDeppness nothing wrong with a band coming to an end. Just look at the beatles.
Zoltan Kocsis plays Bartók: Allegro Barbaro
CZANIMOK Meg nem mondom melyikük a velőtrázóbb.
@grenouillounette Yes, we all know that.
??? I think you misunderstood something - of course this is a distorted bass, where´s the problem? I love ELP for their music and for their sound (nearly) without an electric guitar. But next time watch your words...
Dude give me a break! Greg Lake was a great producer!
I said guitars, not bass guitars. And MY experiences with guitar players and my taste in music is just part of me as a musician. Are you able to understand that? (I guess not ...........)
Keith Emersontól búcsúzom Bartók zenéjével...
you mean...Bartok is air-drumming in his grave...
@ZombieToaster ??!?
Yeah, plus there is more musicianship and technique on Emerson lake and palmer
tags...
wtf is Bartoc?! it is Bartók!!!
@ZombieToaster thiswas popular music on the 70s, they dont mean the shitty genre that spawned in the 90's
The studio album version is a hell of a lot better than this live version.
0:11
Pop music? POP MUSIC? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!
I've been where your at with Rush dude, you are obviously on this page because you know that ELP pose a threat to Rush. Just except them for what they are.
They didn't even write this song :3 (Technically)
@MrDeppness I think you're right. And Rush are better musicians. But for this tune, I think this is quiet the best of ELP. Crazy, heavy... Different.
Oh, hell no. Better musicians? Other than Peart and Palmer both being absolutely top-tier, there's little comparison.
@kevot9 Are you on weed?
