Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.
Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.
The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.

Born in 1960, a 70's teen. We had it all. ELP, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Sabbath, ELO and on and on and on......Happy days indeed.
ok, ok....
Absolutely. Those were the days
@@lizbullock3421 ok, ok....
Very True, also Black Sabbath Deep Purple The Who Cream
The best of 🇬🇧 Rock
Born 1957, oh boy, I was so lucky 🌟🌟🌟❤️
who agrees that emerson,lake ,and palmer belong in the rock n;roll hall of fame???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They belonged in the hall of fame many years ago, but the clowns that run that
organization wouldn't know great talent like ELP if it came up and bit them in
their collective asses !! Now Keith Emerson and Greg Lake are gone and they
will probably wait until Carl Palmer joins them before they admit them !
EFF THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF "SHAME" !!!!!!!!!!!
I do !!!!
I think the existing R7R HOF should be ignored and replaced w/ another that focuses on the musicality of rock & rock ONLY. No Michael Jackson, etc., etc. No pop - no rap crap. R & R, soul, blues and I may be missing something but you get the idea. And it Must have nothing to do w/ RS Ragazine. They told Steve Miller that he isn't even rock and roll. Huh? They are sell out who only look at the charts and proceed accordingly. Do you know how many #1s Yes has had. 1. And they barely squeaked in after 48 years. So to me it's essentially a non entity. They are a closed mind.
@@stevensprouse2449 Yeah, I couldn't agree more ! Any organization that keeps great talent like ELP out is
not worth two cents. Personally, they were too good for the likes of that crappy organization !
robert perrella I wouldn’t say Rock’n’Roll, progressive rock is the right word, but overall, of course I agree
Should have been in the Hall of Fame YEARS AGO
71 years old….. Still listening. Phenomenal
Grew up in the SWEETEST TIME EVER !
And the music ….. The Songs Remain The Same!
ROCK ON BOOMERS !💜🌹
These three guys sound like an entire symphony orchestra!
I am 79 years old and have been designing and building broadcast stations for 55 years. I am thankful that I had the chance to live through those classic rock years when those famous artists were producing sounds like this one. My hats off to the engineers in the recording studios today, who are able to resurrect the analog master tapes and get everything into the digital domain to be preserved forever.
Agreed! They are the custodians of our musical history.
I’d rather that preserve the analog version; unless you have the correct DAC it will be just a series of digits, and even then every DAC sounds different, so how is that preserving the master tapes?
@@guywhite1004 I never said the digitization process was perfect but it's better than the alternative where everything will fall into powder in a few decades.
@@guywhite1004 preservation usually is done best by taking every chance you got. Getting it out there on as many mediums as possible is the best way. History has shown time and time again that the best chance of preservation is through fame/being known. If a piece of art/culture, be it a story, a legend or music is well-known there will be people who will care for it and cherish it. Those people will make sure it will live throughout the ages, in whatever format or medium there is. It won't always be ideal, but it will be there. Which is a Heck of a lot better than absolute majority of humanities musical history. Most, almost everything actually is gone forever and we don't even know what we have lost. The ability to record music as sound is a very recent thing if you look at it from a human timeline scale.
Thats great ,at least they are doing something to archive the past, the old tape mediums degrade , i have some music data cassettes that only partially work,but thankfully someone has backed them up for full download :}
No computers, no phones, nobody. No heat. These were poor times. Never the less, these guys prevailed.
Oh we had phones. They were back home…. wired to the wall. No annoying public phone conversations. No movies being interrupted in the theater. No one tracking you down. Far more peaceful.
Those were the years of Quebec Love.
Our phones hung on the kitchen wall... and when they rang, a stampede of teen and preteen elephants, wolves and wildabeasts, ran for the phone😂❤
Three guys, an empty stadium, good times, good times...
Emerson lake and palmer were truly remarkable and should be in the hall of fame
Maybe - but the RRHOF doesn’t deserve ELP. I was so excited when the concept came up. I’m still really happy for all of the acts that made the cut - however questionable they may be. But for us purists - what a joke. 🍎❤️💋🎼🎸
Hard to believe they're not, with the many lesser bands already in there. What a farce.
@@michaelgapple1894 Well said! Commercial hall of asking musicians to join the 'fame'. ELP would smother the hall with their fame. They were in their own hall - and it was sold out😉
First thing that came to mind, thanks! :)

I agree. Who judges artists for this "honor " anyway? Can't be their bettors, there simply aren't any.
Carl Palmer:: We did record a video for “Fanfare…” at the Montreal Olympic stadium....
It was something like 20 degrees below, it was extremely cold. We managed to shoot three times - a few cameras on one person, a whole take, the same on the next guy, the same on the next guy - and then one take of all of us playing together. But it was very, very cold. The music has lasted, though, it has endured and it’s been truly fantastic. I mean, quality always lasts, and I sincerely believe that we had a lot of quality going there - we weren’t just a prog band, we had pretty songs as well. So it was quite eclectic.
My favorite ELP song and video. Back then you actually had to perform the feats. Today it’s just CGI. As for the R&R Hall of Fame, I thought they were already in there. If not you need to remove half of the entries as far as I’m concerned. If ELP doesn’t stack up how is Cheap Trick in there?
Brilliant and soo bloody cold ❤😂😂❤❤
It was fantastic
Love listening to this , makes me feel so Good , got it in my car xxxxx
⛄️Very Cool 🧊Ice Cold 🥶Chillin!
I'm 75yrs old...how sweet it is...reliving the drama of "FanFare for the Common Man"... 🎶 Music doesn't tell a story like this today....long live the memory of EMERSON LAKE and PALMER 😎👍. 🙋🌹GA USA 🇺🇸
What a great concert. The last show I caught was in 1977 @ Seattle King Dome.
Do you remember When Tarkus came out ! Great Album !
They where fabulous
I saw 3 of there shows one in the Olympic Stadium. They deserve to be in the Hall of Fame all the way
La sigla di Mixer se non sbaglio con Gianni Mina.
I saw them many years ago, fantastic band/show! 😅 😍
I'm 68 years old,
I've always followed the great moments of progressive rock
Same age, and I fully agree. Fantastic!
I discovered ELP as a teenager in the 70s , all along my life I enjoyed listening their extraordinary music and still now reaching 66 years old. And trying to play on my own piano and keyboards. ELP will never be forgotten.
E.LP. = true talent. Something that is missing today.
Keith Emerson - one of the greatest keyboard players I've ever seen. All three of them put on an epic show.
Yep, I was glad to see them live around 20’ish years ago in Tulsa, Oklahoma 🇺🇸 at the “Old Lady on Brady”, the perfect venue for their fantastic performance. Keith, was a master of the Moog Synthesizer - a genius musician.
As a keyboard player he’s #1
New ELP fan here. I am loving this!
How the hell did we go from sweeping progressive masterpieces like this to auto tuning, Nicki Minaj and Kanye?
One guess ….
2024 and in Australia. This is still a great piece of music, one for the ages…
The original score is so hard to get right. The Brass has to be technically perfect and the interpretation just spot on otherwise it just jars. Like the ELP arrangement, when it works it is overwhelming.
I remember it as a kid on Wide world of sports intro
And it was the intro to Chris Conroys world of boats@@clarkemcclymont2879
The musicianship here is staggering.
Emerson is fantastic on keyboards!
WWII bomber jackets, empty freezing snow covered Olympic stadium screaming to the fanfare of the common man. Classic.
WOW! I'd been looking to hear this song again after decades and didn't know they performed it! THANK YOU!!!
After the keyboard intro it gets into that rock rhythm....should've been the soundtrack for every 70's cop show ever.
Was the theme music for The Wide World of Sports in Australia.
Wow, wow, wow! This is unbelievable. Pure Royalty for The Common Man. Haven't heard this one in years and am blown away. Even the setting is astounding. Just 3 guys blowing the house down. Thank you Emerson, Lake and Palmer for your beautiful and powerful music. It will live on in the memories of those who loved you.
Dear Terry, the most powerfull bands are trios like elp, cream, taste, jimi hendrix experience etc.
The one good thing about being old now is that I got to grow up with music like this.
Ooh what a lucky man you was.
@@captainbadd good one
me to
Older... not old. ELP...pure genius!
We’re older but not old yet
1973 was a great year at the Salt Palace. I got to see so many but ELP was unforgettable . I got into building so many sound machines and a few guitars. Today at 68 electronic music is something I still do. The microchips can do so much in a small space where I had bedroom size gear back then.
1977, what a year, I was only 9 years old but thanks to an older brother able to buy tickets and music, my tag a long was fun. I got to see the original STAR WARS, and SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. I always wanted a Black and Gold 77 TA but lucked into buying an old, beat up 1977 FORMULA FIREBIRD 350. 2024 and I still have my 1977 Firebird.
The original Star Wars before Lucas screwed them up, special editions my arse!
Nice one...sound just like you, I was 8 years old in '77... grew up with Star Wars & Smokey ...I've still got my T/A in the garage👍🍻
A perfect portrait of what happens when a classically trained pianist meets rock & roll.

@mixaliskokkinos1496 Indeed, one of the best. Just take in his solo in "Riders on the Storm"
@@tonyradmilovich3154 During '80s there was a commercial of "Skip"(washing machine powder) with this song!Doors was my first band i love,so this song... million times.Greetings from Greece
These guys were beyond awesome. R.I.P. Keith and Greg, thanks for the memories.
I born in 1973. But i heard this kind of music in old movies 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This should be played at every school morning assembly!...3 very talented gentleman! Thank you..
I had "Morning has broken" by Cat Stevens at my morning assembly when I was 7 in 1970 appreciate it more now Im a little bit older. This was one of my first albums. ELP..
I remember my brother and his three friends getting 4 tickets to go see ELP at the Big O and I could not go because my father said you can't miss work! Fast forward 47 years and it still breaks my heart to have missed one of the greatest rock spectacles of all time!
My sympathies
Greetings to all ELP fans and everyone else from this era. And to those discovering this type of music for the first time. I heard this when I was 23. Still get goosebumps listening to it today @ 68.
The age is different (you got 5 years over me), but the goosebumps are the same.
Been with them since day 1. Never missed a single concert. Still my favorite band of all time. The mix of classical & rock on such a masterful way
I've still got there LP I'm in my70s and I still love hearing it. Great music🎶💿
Saw them about 20ish years ago.PHENOM. But older brother had their LP’s and turned my brain into salad at a very young age.
This has always been my favorite tune, my Dad never liked this kind of music but, he understood what is stood for.
Year 2022 and this is still EPIC. Great music always touches us.
Playing the keyboard with a set of daggers they were great
As to the Rock & Role Hall of Fame.... "Badges we don't need no sticking Badges "
Don't you find it rather boring now?
@@johnwoods7650 Never.
@@Tessmage_Tessera - Obviously you are touched.
ELP should be honored in the Hall of Fame. No one can match the King of Keys. They are all legends. Long Live this music.
Correction : " Nobody but not " no one " or " no two " .fish...
Irrespective, Emerson Lake and Palmer is Best remembered and Honoured in The Goddess Mnesmonys Hall of Incorrubtibily. Obeisances to Her Our Mother. fish...
It's almost criminal that these 3 musicians are not in the rock hall of fame!! Look at their music on paper how intricate it is and watch the performance. If not in the rock hall of fame, then the ELP HALL OF FAME!!
They should be Pictured at an Exhibition.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer do belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No two ways about it! Utterly and totally!!!!
yes they where masters of music
Given the fact that hip hop artists were inducted to the RRHOF while bands like Yes were only added posteriorly and after the public protested that they weren't already, I think I wouldn't bother if I were a member in a band as great as ELP or, say, Genesis. This museum only bears its name because it was originally given that; it has long become anything but that. It may soothe your ego, but other than that, it's nothing more than a box on your bucket list you can thus tick.
The RARHOF is a scam, pure and simple. It is a political nightmare made up of screwy judgmental narcissistic trash who wouldn't have a clue as to who should be in a "hall of fame." All of these great artists are famous, so they are in a much more legitimate hall of fame. Real fame, not some decision made by idiots looking for money.
fuck the rock n roll hall of blame
@@oliverbender3764 I can't agree more. The greats will live forever where it matters.
Eternal music from an eternal band. 68 years old still gets me moving. Still thrilled by this sound.....gives me goose bumps.
It's really hard to believe they aren't in the R&R HOF and people like Amy Winehouse are.
I am 66 and still love this song xx
The next probe to Mars should have a gigantic sound system attached and after it lands this music should be played on the hour, every hour.
And I"d add: "Is that really just 3 guys? Are they hiding somebody else behind a curtain"? 😉
Oh yeah 🎉
First time I heard it I must have been 16 or 17. I'm 62 now and still think it's awesome. ELP are legends. The Trilogy album is a great!
Trilogy and "Close to the Edge" actually changed my inner psyche--for the good. I am not kidding. To this day, every time I listen to either one it's akin to a fresh awakening, very spiritual and never gets old.
Same here!
College roommate got to sit in at a local gig when Palmer wanted to take a break but the other two wanted to keep going. As an accomplished amateur drummer, it was a highlight he never forgot.
Look at the guys playing through the frost, look at there standard of music, no computers, playing live, just pure magic, love ELP 54 years ago, like watching Mozart ahead of their time by miles, I watch this pretty much every week, so good.
Yeah, me too, but I can't listen just once.
I read that they took several breaks to go in and warm themselves.
They used analog computers!
@@garyhermes7541did they perform a gig in this place?
they are mining it is a publicity video@@williwass6837
One of the best British rock bands. I remember this video on tv shown back in 1977 as if it were yesterday.
Loved ‘I believe in Father Christmas’ too.
As well as Jerusalem
Hi Saxon, I remember in 1977 so well, the first time listening on a Saturday night, watching this same video on TV around 11:30pm as if it were yesterday. In Manly, Sydney Australia. It still leaves me motion less but now, just listening, eyes closed with the most wonderful memories of that day and late evening in my mind and heart. Take care and thank you for the memories.
Best Band.... British or not
So do I, so do I.
This is absolutely amazing to me. They do such an outstanding job. Now can they play like that normally much less with the obvious frigid weather.
My Mum was very much a middle of the road music lover. She heard my record of this and instantly became an ELP fan. She even bought me the Works Album the next Christmas. Or was it for her? LOL
Nobody makes music like this now,This is genius
'sept Alan Parsons Project!
You just stopped looking for new music decades ago.
Keith Emerson....Omnipresent genius that will never be re-created.... Ever..
This isn't just making music, this is composing music. Awesome
Not exactly the same, but try Nigel Stanford. A good starting point is "Crystal Skies"
Who else loves Carl Palmer's drumming ?
I think he's one of the
greatest to ever live !
Geoffrey Jonathan Wilson.....I do!! The engine that runs the train!!! This vid of Fanfare for the common man is friggin awesome!!! And I'm an old fart. :>)....at a young 68yrs. "From The Beginning"...Thank you.
INDEED!
I say he's in the top 3 of all time
Fucken oath mate. Brilliant. I'm orgasming to that whole chunka chunka chunkaaa..... chunka chunka chunkaaa.... thing, with the cowbells and the snare just slapping in there.... when you get a quick shot of him playing it's like the indefatigable jaws of a combine harvester, devouring everything in front of it....if a combine could play drums. And the sounds he's wringing out of the hats... Afuckenmazing. Beg your pardon im a bit drunk.
Ted, good man !
I'm revisiting this clip now from years ago in 2024?? Who else ??? Great clip ! Great instrumental ! I have noticed since I fist heard and saw this clip when I was about 14 years old my interest for music taste got stronger from elp! I had enelded up buying a quality hi fi system. I had noted why I chose a Yamaha hence the keyboard 😅
Perhaps the most stoned moment of life was at an Emerson, Lake and Palmer concert in Vancouver.
I distinctly remember rows of lights flying towards me from the stage.
I must have been on something good that night.
Even though this performance is over 43 years old there is such a timeless component to it. These 3 outstanding men are so underrated it’s almost criminal!
Totally agree ! What is criminal is those effers at the rock and roll
hall of fame never have inducted these three superb musicians
into their organization ! That so called "hall of fame" should be
called the "hall of shame" instead !!!
Well said, totally agree!
These three will be forever pure gold for rock music... well, for MUSIC!
The so-called "Hall of Fame" is in average well below ELP's talent.
Darn tootin’!
@@hodgeknobbler9848 You betcha! Ask Stan Grossman, he will tell you the same!
Emerson Lake and Palmer should be inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, period.
YES GREAT IDEA!
its insane they are not in there when so many average bands are in..before I found out they still were not in? I always just assumed they were in to be honest lol
The fact they are not there shows that the RRHF is meaningless
No, because no one would be able to play their songs 😂, the same with Genesis
The rrhf is a joke. It's based on who's popular that's it . If it was a true hall of fame for rock it would not have pop , rap or hip hop. Just rock bands that's it. No offense to those artists, they're all fine in their work. Just my two cents .
Fanfare for the common man, seems to be the message that echoes through time.
First heard this as a midi file in some hidden windows XP folder and though it was villainous clown music. Chasing people about with their big shoes. 😅
As a Common Man i feel blessed this exists.
Warm greetings to all from the Netherlands🇳🇱.
Thank you Emerson Lake and Palmer for giving us your beautiful music.
Great cover
I was 15 when heared this for the first time .....It always kicks me again and again .....Now I am 60 years old and once a week have to hear it ............
Same here. I heard this in a “Record Rendezvous” in Cleveland, OH in 1978. I was mesmerized! ELP are phenomenal! Wow! Just Wow!
Same here I was 15 at the time knew at the time this was something special even more so now, three very talented people two of whom are sadly missed there legacy lives on.
Me too, heard it for the first time as a teenager, still love it 40 years later... Timeless !!!!!
I was 21 and it was only last week end I remembered it, what Great music.
Same Here!!! I'll Be 60 Next Month,Saw These Guy's At MSG 77'-78' ? And Meadowlands 1986....
As a 77 year old percussionist, piano and organ player, this video just brings tears to my eyes as an incredible tribute that ELP was in my life. Such artistry, musical talent and composition of their works, truly original sound that brought me much joy and awakened my creative juices as I would listen to this during my professional photography career while working on still lifes and photography projects in my studios over many years. So glad this popped up on my TH-cam the other day. Listening to it again and just can imagine being there playing the drums, keeping warm from all the movement and riding the wave that this incredible sound made reverberating inside that stadium. Truly fantastic!
40 years later, and still fabulous. Today's music simply can not compare.
Certain musicians can still hit this level of groove - Sungazer are an absolute blast live, absolutely nailing crazy complex harmonies and rhythms. Look mum no computer creates wild beats from homemade analogue synthesisers. Long distance calling have an undeniable mastery of their craft. I think we are often unable to compare older acts like ELP to modern acts due to the fact that you're never gonna see them in the same context as you would modern musicians.
The fact that aaron copland loved this version just makes it better
Actually he said he liked the opening and closing, but not the jam in the middle which isn't really part of Copland's work.
@@ernestogasulla7763 Knowing what he said about it, I have wanted to make sense of the middle part. I see it as a ELP's time stamp for the type of music and technology existing at that time, in the 1970's. Especially Emerson's keyboard work, he gives a demonstration here of all the effects he can produce with his state-of-the-art setup. Classical music is always assigned to a time period, and I think the middle of their performance tied it to the era. I'm curious what Copeland might have had to say about that.
@@Stacie45 Wonderfully thoughtful and insightful comment.
@@Stacie45 it's just a jam, my friend. While Baroque composers like Bach didn't mind improvising, Copland just couldn't conceive it.
@@ernestogasulla7763 It's a terrific jam. It's as if he's saying, "Some common men are weird. Why not salute them too?"
I'm 66. I lived in the Golden Age of Rock. I got to hear this performed on a stage. It was marvelous I remember it so vividly.
I heard them play this on stage at about 175 fucking decibels from the 3rd row. It was 1977. Lifetime Tinitis anyone?
Me too! Transformational experience!
And back when music had fidelity and big stereo equipment was a necessity.
@@counciousstream
sorry? can't hear you .. could you say that again?
I am also mid sixties. I heard this on stage in Toronto on the same tour as well as the fkirst ELP "tarkus" tour at the london pallidium the previous year. This piece is being played in the middle of a montreal winter and it must be minus silly degrees. Such is fortitude.
I am still Listening. THIS NEVER GETS OLD,
I saw ELP in 1976 when I was 13. To this day it's still in the top 3 shows of my life..
And I have seen many.
I never get bored of watching this classic video. I have lost count on how many times I have watched this.
Watch?

I am listening to this in February 2024, I'm in my 70s now but was a hot chick in my late teens when it came out. There is revolution in the air again. The Common Man has had enough of being pushed around by the elite. This is his Fanfare. We the People will rise and take our power. We stand firm in our sovereignty.
Mmm. How true. And I bet u were indeed hot. U still are X
I hope your right my friend. or things are turning to shit .
Hot chicks in the seventies are hot chcks forever .
Looking back (if I knew then what I know now) I would have paid extremely good money, just to stand in front of those speakers, on that extremely cold day, watching those guys play this one song just to say I was there on that day. How amazing they were in the midst of their heydays.
My Dad showed me this music about 2 years ago. We watched this video together and i was impressed by this song. Now i'm watching it alone because i lost him in march... But i'm still impressed, music has power, and music can heal everyone.
MB - he will be forever with you - through this and your heart and memories❤ PS you are NEVER alone buudy 😀
Remember him whenever you hear this song.
He will be with you.
Don't forget to pass it on.
Music is the gift that keeps on giving.
Sorry for your loss. My Dad passed away in April this year, three weeks after a big party for his 85th birthday. But he continues to live, out of our perception, along with everyone who dies. Your Dad lives on too. Great he shared ELP with you too.
Very sorry for your loss. God bless.
Your not alone, surely your Oldman is grooving with it too.
I always think of my dad who worked 70 to 80 hours a week to provide for our family. This song is for all the hard working people and their families.
Brings a tear to Both eyes.
Big John! Sir Yes Sir!!!!,!
Ahh, that old trope. If you're working a 70-80 hours a week, that's eith 10 hours a day seven days a week, or 16 hours a day. Your old man might have been at work, but he wasn't working, it's impossible to carry on like for longer than a month. Or he's lying.
@@gryffhorner you are just wrong. And might I add; unkind.
Gruff Horner-it takes a bozo like you to write a stupid comment like that! You probably haven’t worked a day in your life!
First time I heard this was at the KGB Skyshow at Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego for July 4th. Boy did they rock us all out!!! Had to get the album. ELP Rocks and always will.🤘
One of the great bands, brilliant time for music!!
I am 54 now and was introduced to ELP by my high school teacher, back in the early 80's....I still have the album ELP Works 1, thank you everyone on You tube who has posted ELP videos for us older generation to see as there was a time we only had the experience on vinyl.
I’m 63. I saw ELP at the first Cal Jam at the old Ontario Motor Speedway in 74. The speedway doesn’t exist anymore, but the memories live on....
@@mrswakka4186 yeah, I'm 70 & although the memory banks are a bit foggy I believe I was there, many concerts I attended back in those days in southern CA. Nectar.
I was introduced to trilogy Buy my brother in the late seventies
62 - saw them 3 times in St. Louis back in the day. Just remembered my hair catching on fire when Slade (I believe) opened for them Can't tell you what I was doing.
Was looking forward to taking my son to see them before Keith passed.
Adult offspring know: I nay be older than the whole lot of you, but I've seen all the cool bands....and have the t-shirts to prove it.
Carried my dad down the church aisle to this music for his funeral , certainly woke the people up !
Deeply sorry about your loss, but if you think about it, this is some freakin' powerful, glorious music to go with, sounds like your dad was really awesome!!
Sounds like a great idea your dad sounds like a cool man
send me off with:
"And When I Die" by BS&T
Hey it's got everything from a ho-down in the middle to several false endings.
Like they always say, "You never get a second chance to make a last impression."
We had this as the welcome music to my grandads funeral yesterday.had never heard it before
WOW DUDE!!!! that's so awesome!!! What a kick ass moment. Sorry bout your loss. Glad for your love!
I’m back again 9 November 23 to listen again it’s hypnotic I just can’t play it loud enough,imagine the stadium full now what a party bloody fantastic keep going lads never give up real musicians
By far the best concert I ever was fortunate to see. Their studio works were flawless, but when you see them pull it off live, it’s like magic.
Where’s this at?
@@Tracey..H Montreal Olympic Stadium. Greg writes about filming this in his autobiography, Lucky Man.
Jealous!
Saw them 20ish years ago & totally agree. Fabulous band!! 😅
Saw them at Soldier Field in 1977
They are so far beyond any hall of fame. They are eternally valid!
Fanfare for the Common Man. A composition of an American performed in a Canadian stadium by three Brits.
Without the American and Canadian contributions 'this' clearly would never have been a thing, but If i may be so bold, the Brits nailed this eternally into the history book. (TT. Brit - born 1971)
True harmony. The perfect synergy of disparate elements coming together for an amazing moment in time.
A King returning victorious from battle would be given a fanfare to greet him.
"Fanfare For the Common Man" is for us common, ordinary, everyday, generic dopes just keeping the world spinning.
I have never seen this version before. It's incredible!
The Olympics are for all humankind!
@@ricardopomales1539 Ahahahahahahahahahahahahah !
Don Kirschner's Rock Concert on Saturday nights. I was maybe 19 when I saw this for the first time, age 64 now. Had to be after midnight, still living at home, wanted to blast it, because the bass player in me needed to FEEL Greg Lake, but didn't wanna risk the ass-kicking from my mother, lol. The image of being able to see their collective breaths because of the cold has never left me. Y'all rocked the entire fuck outta this. The 19 year old kid from Newark, NJ thanks you, and the 64 year old man is STILL in love with this.
Ditto!!!!!
Don kirschners rock concert was how i discover elf and my absolute favorite Kansas thank you don those were the days
🎉😂😢😮. Yes ELP do belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of fame!!!!!!! 😅 I love them!!!!!
Bravo
I was 16 and we had Don Kirschners concerts on a show called "Nightmoves" every Saturday night ..
I'm so glad this video was interrupted by five commercials for things I will never buy. So satisfying.
I have this in my youtube library, and it plays straight through, save it into a folder

These boys are freezing, yet... They still gave it there all. Incredible band!
I miss you Greg Lake!
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Freezing @ 7am in a Montreal winter morning… to record this video
This is the greatest instrumental tune of the 70's,and they played in the freezing cold.
Wonder what they’d done to get punished this way? I’m surprised that the synth worked and they could stay in tune.
Frankenstein by Edgar Winter Group is #1. This is #2 or 3.
They mimed in the cold. See reply of today on my comment on playback
Okay, next question...? when?
weather was cold but they were hot
I'm 50just had toyask who done this !!! legends
I must listen it every three or four days... This video is one of those i reproduce for relax my self... i dance alone in the house, my wife say that im crazy...
Nothing wrong with crazy not in these days keep rocking 👍
ELP and Rush had the same thing in common - they both sounded like six piece bands with only three musicians. Incredible!
Too true.
The truth was in the live performances!
They both had excellent drummers!
The difference is this...RUSH finally made it onto the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...Why not ELP?
@@scraperjockey the Hall of Fame is a fucking joke! Janet Jackson is an inductee for shit sake.
@sploofmonkey Dude, this is a studio recording, not a live performance.
Part of an interview with Greg Lake:
LAKE: I remember we were rehearsing in a basement beneath the Olympic stadium. It was the only place large enough to fit the whole orchestra in to rehearse. A phone call came in and I had to go up and take it, and everybody took a coffee break. So during that break I took the elevator up to the ground floor, which actually took me to the Olympic stadium. We had just heard that they wanted to release it as a single. My initial reaction was like, 'Well, no, we're too busy doing the rehearsals with the orchestra.' And I went up to the stadium and I was looking at this absolutely mind-blowing site, covered in virgin snow, with the Olympic rings lit up in neon lights at both ends. It was an eerie sight, begging for something to happen, and I thought, ‘Video.’ We got the crew to move the gear up to the stadium the next day to start recording. Of course, what we didn’t plan was for it to be way below zero. My fingers would literally slip through the strings. So we had to record it in fairly short bursts, but it was a lovely film in the end.
And I was at the show the following summer! ELP made the news when that vide was shot because people could hear the music outside the stadium…
Phantastic!
Amazed that Palmer's drumheads didn't break lol.
EPIC!... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've often wondered how they managed to play in those conditions. Great story, thanks for the info.
Boys look really Cold despite their bomber jackets. Awesome video.
Absolutely brilliant but sadly we will never see their like again. Only ever saw them once on the "Welcome Back my Friends" tour at Wembley.
I’m 52 and never got a chance to see them live. Thanks to TH-cam, I can. I do have their 1st album (not CD or digital download). Today’s music could never hold up against this epic band of individuals! It’s unfortunate that Greg Lake and Keith Emerson are no longer with us. This band should never be forgotten. I blare their music so the neighbors could hear. So far no complaints.
When I blast ELP, my neighbors throw a brick through my window…so they can hear it better.
I think the late '60's and 70's were the golden age of rock. I am a huge Yes, KC and Genesis fan. But there is some good stuff now. You just really have to hunt for it because it never sees the light of day.
Part rock 'n' roll, part classical, part jazz, part electronica - but the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. My parents played this "on repeat" back in the 70's when it came out. I didn't understand at the time why; I do now. So good.
Saw Emerson Lake and Palmer 1974 in San Francisco. Was in tech school for the Navy. Could not hear for 2 days. Karn Evil 9 still gives me shivers. I keep forgetting today's tech did not exist then. Their sound was amazing.
1974 . ELP was the hottest Concert Ticket..
This video they cooling Down..
Says at the start of the video 1977. It was 1976 because that was the year of the Montreal Olympics. Went to that stadium in 1998. It has a roof now and the sound inside is absolutely deafening
I’ve heard this 1,000 times and never get tired of it.
Me too
I've heard it 1,001 times! :)
@@karlstudenroth4015 got ya beat...1,318 & 1/2 times here
Majestic, ethereal. Only ELP could make this work. When Giants walked the earth.
Giants walked the Earth, yes.
This reaches "Zadok the Priest", (Haendel) ))
Giant's with big ball's & leather coats.
Giants
Well said !
How good were the 70's ??????
Why can't America have musicians like this !!!!!!!!!!??????????
They do. But it's unlikely we'll ever know them--the music biz has changed for the worse. Spotify robs everyone, etc....
42 years later, this is still truly breathtaking
These guys were light years ahead of everyone. So much good sound coming out of three guys. Rest In Peace Keith and Greg. And how great a drummer is Carl Palmer? Never missed a beat.
Going to see Carl Palmer in a few weeks at a local gig after 2 years of cancelled gigs I'm soooo looking forward to it
@@kimwilcock5738 Lucky you😎👍
Isn’t never missing a beat a description of basic competence?
@@mireilledischer3380 yep, sure is, that's why he never missed a beat.
A few times they were at 200 bpm
They are rockin even the freezing cold...awesome!
greatest trio ever..you can find every genre in their music.they were ahead of their time.
