This is priceless. I cannot thank whoever filmed this enough for making the effort to capture this incredible talk by Greg. I met his wife in a supermarket in Fulham Road in 1970, we were all high and were larking about in the shop and then she invited us back to their mews house.. Greg was as you see here except young and stunning in velvet like a king, but charming and humble. He played us the album they had done and then mentioned that he wasn't that happy with it, could have been better etc...We assured him it was a mindblowing masterpiece, which it was. At one point he passed around a silver snuff case and it was dutifully handed like a silver chalice from person to person. Us teenagers all thought it was coke or smack and got excited, but no, it was snuff. We were still deeply respectful of the ritual nonetheless, it was like being in church. Greg;s wife was mesmerisingly beautiful and really into sharing her joy and laughter, by the time we got to their place from the supermarket I was madly in love. I remember feeling rather silly about the snuff when we left. Greg and his wife were the epitomy of London hippy arty cool at the time, great people who lived the love.. The man in this amazing film is the same man. Love and respect are not fitting words to capture what feelings come up for Greg Lake, one of the human greats. What a lucky man.
Thank you for your beautiful story about meeting Greg and his wife! He was an amazing human being. Glad you enjoyed the video (there are 2 parts). Thanks!
Greg Lake was a gentle giant, a beautiful soul. His voice has moved the hearts of many of us. So sad he left us too soon. I just love his stories R.I.P. Maestro Lake.
i never realized Greg was such a large man. of course, he put on alot of weight as he aged. But he was taller and broader than the image I got from album covers.
I can´t believe it how natural, friendly, positive and talented was this man, thank you so much Gregg Lake, RIP.... ELP, such a great progressive Rockband....
mickton shrimpton It was a crazy day & people didn't have much time to get to this event. No chairs were set up, we had to scramble to find anything to sit on. I was just so in awe of Greg that no one else mattered.
Not only was Greg well spoken but very deep. He no doubt cared about his fans and is so articulate about his answers. So humble considering his lofty place in musical history. Don't know how he was when he was younger but here he is so personable. Great loss, RIP....
I got the vibe, watching their documentaries and videos, that he was very much like this video of the cruise. He always had the brightest, sweetest smile and talked so sincerely. There wasn't even a hint of him being superior to anyone else. Like 'Rosie' said, he was a gentle giant and a beautiful soul.
What A Lucky Man he was RIP Gregg We will miss you. I have followed King Crimson, ELP, since I was young man . I'm 60 and I must say there is not much good music out there in the market now. Gregg was a gift to the World God Bless his Soul.
Yeah I'm 61 now and back in the mid seventies, when I was in high school me and my band buddies used to get together at the drummers garage where we practiced and smoke pot and trip out hard to ELP's Brain Salad Surgery!
A very articulate person. His comment about a song going from soul to soul, I could not agree more, music is meant to move an individual. Sadly gone way too soon. Luckily I saw him in the late 70's. Thank you Mr. Lake for sharing...
I am so grateful that these talks by Greg Lake have been preserved. He is so right about the power of music! ‘Lucky Man’ came out when I was 11, and has always been in the back of my mind. A twelve year old lad opened his heart and wrote it, what sweet simplicity!
I spoke briefly to Greg Lake (talk about a dream situation)after an ELP show in 1992.I found him to be a very cordial,polite & personable man.A true gentleman. There was so much I wanted to talk to him about but there were others around who also wanted a shot at meeting him.I know at times,Keith said Greg wasn't always Mr.Nice Guy or wasn't always pleasant to work with but being in a world class band is not the easiest thing for anybody. The Greg Lake I met,however,was an awesome guy.Miss him terribly,RIP.Greg,you are among the greats in rock music.
Isn’t he lovely? Oh, dear; I mean Wasn’t he lovely? I still don’t think of GL as gone. I listen to his music and interviews over and over....I always will! God Bless GL!
I feel lucky to have seen and heard Greg Lake when he was with King Crimson. To me he was the finest vocalist KC ever had and his vocals are one reason that the first King Crimson album is so outstanding
Wow dude......what a treat that must have been, where was this? By the time I saw them, Wetton was with them.....still a great band and an awesome show.....and I just saw them a few nights ago, which will probably be their last tour & we saw their last show in the U.S. Their 3 drummers really were the most memorable part of the evening!
@@littlewing1083 sorry for the late reply. West Palm Beach Pop Festival, Thanksgiving weekend 1969. My mom let me go with some friends (I was still in High School LOL). KC opened on Friday AND Saturday - same set. Unbelievable. I was sitting middle center stage. I came back telling everyone they were the best band there.
At 53 secs he's talking about albums; I held my King Crimson album cover up & he said "there you go, how nice of you" I asked the question at 24:37, which he misunderstood (from there to the end of this video, he's talking to ME! what an experience!). He thought I was asking which was his favorite song, but I was asking which was his favorite group that he had played with. I re-asked him when he signed my King Crimson album cover, & his answer was "King Crimson" Thanks for posting this! :-)
Greg is so right about taking a piece of complicated music and breaking it down piece by piece measure by measure it has worked for me. ELP fan forever!
I’ve been a fan since I was a kid and he’s so right in that music becomes a part of you and your life and I’m grateful to artists like this who created music that means so much and expanded my interests into classical, jazz and more 👍
I could listen to his stories for DAYS ...... Every musician, and anyone who loves Music, should hear this SPECTACULAR Musicology Master Class by the Great Greg Lake. .... Far Too Few know how GREAT this man and his music were .... What a TERRIBLE LOSS for all of us. .
I've loved Greg Lake's music since his King Crimson days. I was fortunate enough to have met him three times and saw him in concert probably ten times.
When I was a teenager trying to survive a broken family and practically raising myself, it was ELP and their music that gave me hope and inspiration. I was so taken by their music (still have every vinyl album) that in a strange way they became my family.
What a wonderful man and one of the greatest musicians to live. He was multitalented a great skill set and a voice that brought so much pleasure. A voice so beautiful!
A friend of mine met Greg Lake (backstage at his solo concert in Toronto in 1981 at the Convention Hall) and he said you could not have met a more polite person - a real gentleman and extremely talented musician who gave us so much special music.
Greg Lake is both a talented & well-spoken man.His music definitely had an impact on my life. You can tell by listening to him that he is a man who has experienced life on a level that few of us have.He has left with us & for us the gift of his musical legacy for which we are eternally grateful.So sad that we lost him.We so need people like him & Keith around to bring beautiful & inspiring things to our lives these days.To aim higher,to explore uncharted artistic frontiers,to present to listeners true artistic integrity & aspiration.Forever in our hearts:Keith Emerson, Greg Lake.We miss you terribly.There will never be another like you.
Dashing off to listen to the original version of Luck Man on UT just now, I felt just like I did in 1972 when I wandered into an audio store at 12 years old. The surround sound speakers of the highest quality where adjusted just right to allow me to melt into the music, and the guy just let me sit there astounded at what I was hearing for as long as I wanted. What a memory.
When I married my wife, who was a professional musician and singer, I was playing some ELP, she fell in love with Greg's voice. She was not familiar with ELP. She thought Greg had one of the greatest voices ever . At the beginning she thought it was weird ass music After awhile she got it. And became a huge ELP fan. We went to three concerts and she was in ecstasy. It's pretty cool walking into the house and finding you wife banging out Tarkus or Trilogy or Karn Evil 9 on the piano!
Greg lake was a great Musician and Performer. I do listen to his Music since the 70's. Emerson Lake and Palmer Or his Solo Albums have this great Feelings i got when i listen to it. R.I.P Greg Lake. We miss You.
I have loved Moody Blues for years & ELP too. I was on TH-cam a few days ago & I discovered a video of Greg singing I Believe in Father Christmas when he was much younger & I listened & cried relializing that Greg had died back in 2016. Then I remembered listening to this song & I had forgotten about. Such a beatiful talented man he was. A Lucky Man he was. Imagine writing songs at 12 years old!!!!! So I've been watching & listening to Greg Lake. Greg was right about music being a trigger for us ofca certain generation. Music has the ability to bring us back to memories of our youth or whatever was happening to us at the time. So true. Classical music played such a huge part of his creativity when song writing, same with The Moody Blues too. The world lost a musical creative artist & a wonderful storyteller. A sweet man, words cannot describe this soul. Wish I had a man like Greg Lake in my life. Rest in Peace 🙏.
Besides the Moodies..... Greg was really the only other reason I was drawn to the cruise. I'm interested to see what's in store for next year. I just finished listening to Volume 1 of Greg's autobiography "Lucky Man" loved it !
Music is the one thing that connects all human beings when nothing else does. Thanks dear Greg for enriching our souls and our lives. Your music is an honor and a privilege to experience. When I listen, it takes me on a journey and makes me forget my troubles.😌
To think I am 64 years old now my mother bought “ Pictures at an Exhibition “ for me when I was 11 years old… RIP Mum, Greg and Keith… peace to the World from Scotland
What a fine gentleman; wish I had been on that cruise. Grew up with ELP in the 70's and saw them in concert while in college in Tempe, AZ in 1978. Fantastic show! A good friend found a poster for the concert which I subsequently framed. Reminds me of how extraordinary the music really was at that time and rekindles the happy memories to this day.
Greg Lake Sir, you are one in many of millions, RIP, love your work, music, and out look in life. Will miss you for ever and hope to see you in heaven.
When I was a kid, we all seemed to be taking music lessons. You had to learn classical music, it's how you were taught. I never liked it back then. I was introduced to ELP by my boyfriend in high school. He played guitar, I played accordion and piano. I was really blown away by the fusion of classical and rock music. It was truly unique. I've been a fan ever since. I got to like classical music. Pictures at an Exhibition was brilliant, to me, it sounded better than the original version, which was written for piano. I even had the Promenade played at my wedding.
“I've tried to mend The love that ended Long ago although we still pretend Our love is surely coming to an end Don't waste the time you've got to love again We tried to lie But you and I Know better than to let each other lie The thought of lying to you makes me cry Counting up the time that's passed us by I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand And if it does I hope that you will understand That I must leave in a while And though I smile You know the smile is only there to hide What I'm really feeling deep inside Just a face where I can hang my pride Goodbye 💫 Goodbye💫 We'll talk of places that we went And times that we have spent Together penniless and free You'll see the day another way And they could put the sunshine for a nighttime where you lay You're love began I don't know when But if you do I know that you'll be happy in the end”
I remember I Believe In Father Christmas in 1970, I was still in grade school. And Lucky Man back in 1977 one year after graduating high school. Today March 2022 I am reduced to tears when listening to both songs, sadness & nostalgia mixed with memories & some joy at discovering videos on the internet along with bittersweet feelings of loss & wishing I could go back to those years to revisit my youth & to really enjoy the meaningful lyrics of the rock bands of that era. Moody Blues & ELP to name two. Rest in peace GL & KM & GE & Ray ( flute Player) of the Moody Blues.
Thank you for sharing. Really miss this man's voice. I was lucky enough though to see him in the ELP (with Cozy Powell) at the very least. Would love to have seen this Storyteller tour. Love his storytelling. Thank you again for sharing. Tino
Tino you are a lucky man to have seen ELP. Even if the best P wasn't with them at that time. One of my biggest regrets was never having seen any incarnation of ELP live. I thought about going accross the pond for their last gig but didn't. I should have as I sensed that was the going to be the last chance.
First concert I ever saw ELP at the Greenbay brown county arena. It was 1977 and what a amazing show. They each took a bit of a solo each of there own talent alone on stage. They were larger than life and in my mind still are. Thanks for the post!
La voz de este gran hombre retumba hasta el centro de la tierra, Greg te extrañamos , gracias por tu música y el compartir tus experiencias.Dios te bendiga siempre.
I know what you mean Denise! I've always loved Greg & having the chance to see him on this cruise was very special to me. Glad you enjoyed it. I've had a blast going back & listening to some of these. I'm ready for another cruise!!!

Great story ❤
Nice story but Greg got married in 1974.
Greg Lake was a gentle giant, a beautiful soul. His voice has moved the hearts of many of us. So sad he left us too soon. I just love his stories R.I.P. Maestro Lake.
Very nice, plus he was a beautiful man!
i never realized Greg was such a large man. of course, he put on alot of weight as he aged. But he was taller and broader than the image I got from album covers.
Личность! Гора таланта и обаяния.Царствие небесное.
I can´t believe it how natural, friendly, positive and talented was this man, thank you so much Gregg Lake, RIP.... ELP, such a great progressive Rockband....
cant believe theres people walking by and talking while the immortal Greg Lake is speaking ,,Gregs my idol and truly a class act
mickton shrimpton It was a crazy day & people didn't have much time to get to this event. No chairs were set up, we had to scramble to find anything to sit on. I was just so in awe of Greg that no one else mattered.
Class act for sure! Great human being. I also grew up in the 45" & ,33" record age.
Really! He would have my undivided attention as he still does and always will! Love him for eternity!
@@davidpatterson2178 plastic inserts for 45" , papers record sleeves , and had a record player in-a-box with handle
Not only was Greg well spoken but very deep. He no doubt cared about his fans and is so articulate about his answers. So humble considering his lofty place in musical history. Don't know how he was when he was younger but here he is so personable.

Every word coming out of this man's mouth is pure magic, my heart craves a man like that.
Bonita, I agree, he's a special man, for sure. Wish I could find someone as special. "Be still my heart"💞💓💞🎶🌹🎶
The best music class guest speaker I could have ever hoped to see. A beautiful singer. R.I.P.

I absolutely agree, as much as I enjoy fripp's playing, Greg is the reason I love the first kc album
You were very fortunate!🤗

Greg was a wonderful speaker with a beautiful speaking voice in addition to his singing. Great storyteller.
He is a great storyteller, isn't he? I could listen to him tell stories all day...musically and orally!

Talented, Eloquent, Humble . . I had a privilege in my lifetime of sharing experiences with him 😍

baroque pearls of wisdom, should be in every school curriculum...

So heartfelt from an extremely gifted musician

From Soul to Soul. Such magical music from greg lake. 😇❤
I am 67 i started listening to u with King Crimson thru ELP it helped me thru being a Marine during Viet Nam Era RIP Thanks from a fan
This video should be seen by all rock music lovers, old and young. It is son interesting, and teaches a lot. i did enjoy it very very much.
these two songs on YT still stand out for me. - - Greg Lake - Still You Turn Me On / Lucky Man - 1974 California Jam
Greg Lake, one of my favorite individuals .Stop.
Salute to the immortals ELP whatever side of the life-line they are.
Great guy. Hippy. Kool dude with outstanding musical talent. And what a voice. Lov Gregg. RIP
ThankU so much. A teardrop
PeaceLov
One of the greatest acts in prog and voices
Greg Lake Sir, you are one in many of millions, RIP, love your work, music, and out look in life. Will miss you for ever and hope to see you in heaven.

wish I'd have met GL, what a perfect gentleman and musician !! thanks for posting.
with greg lake on cruise control.
i always liked greg"s passion for art and his storytelling.
I can’t believe this man is gone. ☹️
Legendary guitarist… the arpeggio master 🎸. Brilliant
Love Greg Lake ❤, thanks so much for posting 👍.
What wonderful commentary and insight from an amazing man and musician. Everyone with the slightest interest in music should watch this.
greg lake, we just adore you!!! nancy etc.
This is pure gold...!
hes so sincere. ,
Hard to keep from crying, sweet Greg Lake. Gbless the person who recorded this beautiful video.
“I've tried to mend
The love that ended
Long ago although we still pretend
Our love is surely coming to an end
Don't waste the time you've got to love again
We tried to lie
But you and I
Know better than to let each other lie
The thought of lying to you makes me cry
Counting up the time that's passed us by
I've sent this letter hoping it will reach your hand
And if it does I hope that you will understand
That I must leave in a while
And though I smile
You know the smile is only there to hide
What I'm really feeling deep inside
Just a face where I can hang my pride
Goodbye 💫
Goodbye💫
We'll talk of places that we went
And times that we have spent
Together penniless and free
You'll see the day another way
And they could put the sunshine
for a nighttime where you lay
You're love began I don't know when
But if you do I know that
you'll be happy in the end”
This is great!! I wish it wouldn't have cut off at the end because I could listen to him for hours. The world has lost a great musical spirit.
mda037 Did you see Part 2?
sbrubaker1953 Yes, I noticed that there was a part 2 after I left my comment.
Thanks for posting those two videos. I enjoyed them very much.
Wish I could have met this magical man ❤
Was there and love my new life due to this concert.
Love love love!!! So much
Thank you, sbrubaker1953, for posting this most excellent video! Greg is great to listen to.
You're welcome!
Thanks for posting this. Greg Lake was such a tremendous singer. His music was an inspiration to throughout my youth years. RIP
Yes, he is quite a good storyteller. I love Greg Lake, hope he's one of the last 4 to be announced for 2014.
Greg lake was such an outstanding gentleman.
Truly he was.
I remember I Believe In Father Christmas in 1970, I was still in grade school. And Lucky Man back in 1977 one year after graduating high school.
Today March 2022 I am reduced to tears when listening to both songs, sadness & nostalgia mixed with memories & some joy at discovering videos on the internet along with bittersweet feelings of loss & wishing I could go back to those years to revisit my youth & to really enjoy the meaningful lyrics of the rock bands of that era. Moody Blues & ELP to name two.
Rest in peace GL & KM & GE & Ray ( flute Player) of the Moody Blues.
A lovable man. Rip Maestro!
Brings tears to my eyes, a lovely man, so glad I was there. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for sharing. Really miss this man's voice. I was lucky enough though to see him in the ELP (with Cozy Powell) at the very least. Would love to have seen this Storyteller tour. Love his storytelling.
Thank you again for sharing.

Tino you are a lucky man to have seen ELP. Even if the best P wasn't with them at that time. One of my biggest regrets was never having seen any incarnation of ELP live. I thought about going accross the pond for their last gig but didn't. I should have as I sensed that was the going to be the last chance.

love Greg.
First concert I ever saw ELP at the Greenbay brown county arena. It was 1977 and what a amazing show. They each took a bit of a solo each of there own talent alone on stage. They were larger than life and in my mind still are. Thanks for the post!
Great man from a great band saw ELP twice during their heyday...stellar shows RIP greg...RIP keith

He is an amazing person & I've loved ELP for decades. I hope to see Greg again if he tours the US.
REST IN PEACE GREG.
