I was so pissed when as a 14 year old in Denver in 1974 the Columbia record club sent me a tape by mistake of some band with the stupid name of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I threw it aside and didn't listen to it for two or three weeks until one day out of boredom I played it and had my mind BLOWN. I didn’t know so much musical ecstasy could be packed so densely into a recording! It was the most exciting thing I had ever heard, it was brain salad surgery. 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.
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'm 56, and in 2025 I still hear this concert and enjoy the marvelous music this trio did in their beginings. One of my six favourites bands of all times, with Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Genesis and King Crimson. All together, the most amazing music I've ever heard.
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

Me!! I watched it all last night and was absolutely in awe the whole time... i'm so sad i can never see them live, i'm only 17 and discovered them about a year ago. one of my all time favourite bands
First time listening to this concert.I am 75 and loved them in the hippie days. Never realized just how Awesome they were. Human gods of music!!!❤❤❤❤4444
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.
Not just this.. I’m an „old“ mum and kind of „artisty“. Supporting complexity seems getting more important- especially as simplicity seems to take over.. Not talking about human mind in general. Human simplicity and complexity, both just great in the first place. But human mind under impression of digital media, and all the other „new“ influences.. Seems to flatten minds. Crazy what was possible at the time .. Just beautiful ❤
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.
He committed suicide due to cruelty from fans. He became ill and couldn't play like he once did and the hate kept coming. His wife said he was a sensitive man and couldn't take it. People suck!
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.
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.
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.
Another boomer whom talks bullshit. Ever listened to Hiromi Uehara? Isn't that music? Or Rodrigo y Gabriela? Not music either? Pink Martini? Jojo Mayer & Nerve? etc. etc. etc.

@@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..
Thanks for all of your inputs!! I saw E.L.P. in concert 4 times back in the 1970's! Always my favorite band! Not just for their music, but rather 4 their commitment to GOD'S gift called "music" !! I'm a drummer, Carl Palmer is a percussion icon ! The way that they paved in the music industry is a legacy!! If anyone out there has a problem with that... we'll, take that up with GOD - not me.
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
I cried when we lost both Lake n Emerson in 2016 ..Im seeing Carl Palmer and a digital experience of Lake n Emerson on July29th ...thw closest thing to the real deal ..Im beyond excited ..Im 54 now ..The 1st E.L.P came out a month after my birth but I grew up on theie music .
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. ;-) th-cam.com/video/ukgraQ-xkp4/w-d-xo.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.
Amazing drum solo by Carl. I admit I was madly in love with him the moment I saw him and the band in ‘70. Had all their albums eventually and played them to death. I was 18 and he was 20. Just kids really. So glad he’s still performing. He’s performing in Maryland tonight, in fact! 54 years after this gig. Wow.
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!
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.
Lord Jesus have mercy on their genius souls. I used to love ELP when I was 16, 17 and 18. When I got to College my taste in music changed. I began to appreciate folk musicians, and Neil Diamond and Cat Stevens. Recently since Covid , I have fallen in love with " YES " all over again. Love that prog rock, semi- classical. Beautiful music . REAL MUSICIANS unlike today's crap . God bless
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.
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'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.
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.......
@@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 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.
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!
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.
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?
I'm no expert in prog. But I'm told by those who know, that YES are best in class. With ELP in the same class but a few rows back. And Genesis in the first row of second class.
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.
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.
Hobby. It's not a "hobby". IT'S ART. The "Arts" are not "hobbies." Stamp collecting is a "hobby." Creating music, paintings, sculptures, drawings, are not "hobbies." They're not what you do in your spare time. They are your Life.
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…
А я вв далёком 74-ом после стройотряда, купил проигрыватель Вега-002 и первый пласт был "Таркус" Эмерсон, Лейка и Пальмер.ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО послушайте как они играют Мусорного "Картинки с выставки".Модэсту Петровича бы понравилось!
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?
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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 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 !!
TH-cam is magical in the sense that if you missed seeing a band like ELP, you can rely on videos like this to take you back in time to the concert you missed.
not to mention all the bootlegs that are hidden in the different parts of the internet. It's almost better than being alive in that era due to the variety of what's out there
@@salmonsandwich3183 All of it has influenced my music (on TH-cam). I am indebted to all of the great composers/artists from the sixties and seventies. Thanks and take care!
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 🙂
The first SUPER GROUP hands down! I was lucky to see them for a couple different tours in the mid 80s and early 90s in the Fox Theater Detroit, MI and Pine Knob, Clarkston, MI. Greg Lake was promoting the tour and speaking on WRIF radio in Detroit, when Greg was leaving the station I was there waiting and got to meet him briefly and get his autograph which was a very memorable moment for me! Greg was very friendly and approachable unlike some celebrities.
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 TH-cam. 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.
In the 70’s I saw lots of concerts. Nobody, and I mean nobody came close to giving amazing concerts like ELP. They were the greatest, best concerts ever! Absolutely mind-blowing.
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.
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 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'm 68 and still listen to all the elp albums they were very talented individuals glad to have lived through an epic time for music as I know it was hame I did not get to see them live
Man it's not a shame if you're 68 years old it's tragic. You miss some of the greatest performances ever such as 1971 1974 and 1977. Sorry about that my man I do feel for you. You were at the perfect age to take in and understand those performances.
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.
That organ deserves a medal
I was so pissed when as a 14 year old in Denver in 1974 the Columbia record club sent me a tape by mistake of some band with the stupid name of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. I threw it aside and didn't listen to it for two or three weeks until one day out of boredom I played it and had my mind BLOWN. I didn’t know so much musical ecstasy could be packed so densely into a recording! It was the most exciting thing I had ever heard, it was brain salad surgery. 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.
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.

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!

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
No words !😢😢😢
He committed suicide due to cruelty from fans. He became ill and couldn't play like he once did and the hate kept coming. His wife said he was a sensitive man and couldn't take it. People suck!

What the crap is schlagzeugsolo. It's a drum solo dude
Amazing when musicians were musicians.
When "music" was music; and musicians played and sang the 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.
Except the title is a euphemism for Fellatio!!!
ELP GAVE YOU A HEAD START FOR CREATIVE MOOD MUSIC. No doubt, a great building block to ROCK AND ROLL MAN! ROCK ON ! 68 yrs old here.
@@VCT3333YEAH! LOL FOR REAL!
When I was 12 I though ELP was the greatest band ever, now I'm 60 and I have not change my mind.
Edi Gabrieli I totally agree with you. I’m 59 years old and the same thing applies to me to this day!
Another group that should of been in the rock hall of fame.
I'm 62 and this is crap compared to 'Fanfare' Etc.
Same
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
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.
Another boomer whom talks bullshit. Ever listened to Hiromi Uehara? Isn't that music? Or Rodrigo y Gabriela? Not music either? Pink Martini? Jojo Mayer & Nerve? etc. etc. etc.

Carl Palmer is THE BEST Drummer I have ever seen. Over 100 Concerts and seeing him Twice.
You saw ELP over 100 times but only twice? So twice, or 200?
LOL the way that Keith tore up that poor hammond was amazing. There will never be another Keith Emerson. RIP.
Haven't really followed them. Just saw that. That was hilarious. And awesome. Quite agile. He's not a small man. I don't think they ever came to Toledo.
First Keith Emerson and now Greg Lake gone. True pioneers of the prog-rock era. Thank you both for some unforgettable music
It's very, very sad !
They would be great even today.

Thanks for all of your inputs!! I saw E.L.P. in concert 4 times back in the 1970's! Always my favorite band! Not just for their music, but rather 4 their commitment to GOD'S gift called "music" !! I'm a drummer, Carl Palmer is a percussion icon ! The way that they paved in the music industry is a legacy!! If anyone out there has a problem with that... we'll, take that up with GOD - not me.
I watch this and just marvel at what we had to listen to and see live. The most creative and original music ever created.
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!
@@TJJensen-kz7wh LoL!
Все парни класс и супер но соло драм машины всётаки выше ❤
С 52 минуты
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
I cried when we lost both Lake n Emerson in 2016 ..Im seeing Carl Palmer and a digital experience of Lake n Emerson on July29th ...thw closest thing to the real deal ..Im beyond excited ..Im 54 now ..The 1st E.L.P came out a month after my birth but I grew up on theie music .
How was the show? I’m planning to see it in PA on March 1, 2025.
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!
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. ;-) th-cam.com/video/ukgraQ-xkp4/w-d-xo.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.
I'm almost 70 and continue to enjoy this band's music still... pretty kool!
Amazing drum solo by Carl. I admit I was madly in love with him the moment I saw him and the band in ‘70. Had all their albums eventually and played them to death. I was 18 and he was 20. Just kids really. So glad he’s still performing. He’s performing in Maryland tonight, in fact! 54 years after this gig. Wow.
Real Musical Genius ! All three of them ! Glad I saw them perform in Rochester NY War Memorial ! An AMAZING show !!
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!
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’m so glad I grew up with this kind of talent / music in the landscape of my life .
Lord Jesus have mercy on their genius souls. I used to love ELP when I was 16, 17 and 18. When I got to College my taste in music changed. I began to appreciate folk musicians, and Neil Diamond and Cat Stevens. Recently since Covid , I have fallen in love with " YES " all over again. Love that prog rock, semi- classical. Beautiful music . REAL MUSICIANS unlike today's crap . God bless
Отличная группа мастера виртуозы настоящие мастера
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.
@@jefesteel There has to be one. Probably someone who lives under a rock.
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.
Музыкально талантливые!!! Рок баллады этого трио,это шедевр!!!
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.
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.
Transatlantik , Spocks Beard , Flower Kings Glashammer dann wird es schon eng
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
This is what happens when 3 badass musicians get together and play anything they want. Too perfection!
Siete dei grandi. Niente a che vedere con questi che ci sono in circolazione oggi. Sono stato fortunato a vivere nel miglior periodo della musica.
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
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!
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.
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!
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
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
6:42
One of the greatest British bands we still enjoy
Thanks!!!
I love Greg Lake so much there is no way to express it .
me too
The same.
me too it's impossible for me to express
"I love Greg Lake so much." You did express it.
Me too
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
I'm no expert in prog. But I'm told by those who know, that YES are best in class. With ELP in the same class but a few rows back. And Genesis in the first row of second class.
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.
Watching it for the first time 😢 unbelievably excellent ❤! Many thanks ❤
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.
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
Hobby.
It's not a "hobby". IT'S ART.
The "Arts" are not "hobbies." Stamp collecting is a "hobby." Creating music, paintings, sculptures, drawings, are not "hobbies." They're not what you do in your spare time. They are your Life.
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…
Greatest rock and roll organist in the WORLD!!!🎉🎉🎉
Никогда не слышала, впервые такое уникальное открытие произошло, в моей, уже не совсем, молодой жизни !!! Но, как известно, никогда не поздно !!!

@@непомню-ц5я поздравление принимаю с радостью !
А я вв далёком 74-ом после стройотряда, купил проигрыватель Вега-002 и первый пласт был "Таркус" Эмерсон, Лейка и Пальмер.ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО послушайте как они играют Мусорного "Картинки с выставки".Модэсту Петровича бы понравилось!
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!
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?
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.
Houston Music Hall 1971, they were amazing. Keith was unbelievable. Still get a rush reliving these clips.
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.
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.
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.
Live CONCERT.😂
More incredible than Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka jumping off the top rope and landing on another guys chest?
"I don't really have another hobby....I'm too busy being the greatest keyboardist of all time."
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 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 !!
Welcome back my friends...
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 !
😂😂😂
TH-cam is magical in the sense that if you missed seeing a band like ELP, you can rely on videos like this to take you back in time to the concert you missed.
not to mention all the bootlegs that are hidden in the different parts of the internet. It's almost better than being alive in that era due to the variety of what's out there
@@salmonsandwich3183 All of it has influenced my music (on TH-cam). I am indebted to all of the great composers/artists from the sixties and seventies. Thanks and take care!
ELP gehören zu den großen Artrockgruppen, die man gesehen und gehört haben muss. Noch heute ein Genuss.
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!!
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.
Incredible......one of THE most talented trio's ever. What a great video as well. Thank you !
The first SUPER GROUP hands down! I was lucky to see them for a couple different tours in the mid 80s and early 90s in the Fox Theater Detroit, MI and Pine Knob, Clarkston, MI. Greg Lake was promoting the tour and speaking on WRIF radio in Detroit, when Greg was leaving the station I was there waiting and got to meet him briefly and get his autograph which was a very memorable moment for me! Greg was very friendly and approachable unlike some celebrities.
ONE of THEE BEST "EVER" !!! And what a great choice of instruments for that iconic sound!!
Музыкантов такого уровня не было, нет, и не будет. Супер!!!!
absolutnie fenomenalna grupa i głęboko poruszająca muzyka..przepięknie, profesjonalnie i oryginalnie..
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 TH-cam. 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.
Truely gifted musicians, thanks for sharing!
In the 70’s I saw lots of concerts. Nobody, and I mean nobody came close to giving amazing concerts like ELP. They were the greatest, best concerts ever! Absolutely mind-blowing.
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.
@@MultiPetercool Won't be long now.
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.
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!
I'm 68 and still listen to all the elp albums they were very talented individuals glad to have lived through an epic time for music as I know it was hame I did not get to see them live
Man it's not a shame if you're 68 years old it's tragic. You miss some of the greatest performances ever such as 1971 1974 and 1977. Sorry about that my man I do feel for you. You were at the perfect age to take in and understand those performances.
Mind blowing drum solo by Palmer..wow!
Amazing drummer
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.
Not just 3 musical geniuses but 3 absolutely STUNNING men ❤️🔥🥰🎹🎸🎤🥁❤️😍

Nice concert, they compliment each other!! Great stage energy, enjoying this.
By 1970 I was 2yrs old...I grew up with this music that followed me down to 2022/23...AMAZING 11👍👍👍⚘️
OMG! This is the wildest, insanely greatest performance I 've ever seen or heard! Absolutely love it! ❤️. These guys are pure musical genius's
Greg has the most fantastic voice in the world.
What a power trio,...the talent is off the charts,...ELP for life!
I have loved this band all my life even their slow songs kick ass
They were too good.
I grew up with my dad setting up an egregious amount of speakers in our back yard and blasting ELP albums
