Really miss this guy. Aside from being such a talent on guitar and bass, his voice was so powerful and crystal clear. This year marks the 5th anniversary of the passing of Keith and Greg; RIP Gentlemen! You are greatly missed!
The adorable face of Greg - always the entertainer whether with ELP or on his own. Miss him but privileged to hear his amazing voice. Thankx Greg for so many years.
Still love listening to ELP all these years later and can sit back and imagine the great music of 70s we rocked to so hard and relaxed with so well. Thanks ELP
Nostalgia , He is great! Right? They could never have a tribute band of ELP because their sound cannot be duplicated! I’m starting in with King Crimson now, as I know nothing about them. Enjoyed your comment. Greetings from Illinois!
Only recently did I find out that Greg had passed away. I am so sad to hear of this! What a voice he had! What a lucky man he was! Thank you , Greg for changing Rock and Roll forever, R.I.P.
I really love Greg's finger picking style on the guitar, makes it sound as though he is playing four different guitars. I want to get more into this style.
In any case... (continued) Thank you for your music, dear soul... it will ring through history and through the centuries... and for its gift I am eternally grateful. I hope that you have even the slightest inkling of what you have given to this world, and to me. ;-) Just... thank you.
Yes Beltana Spellsinger I hope Greg was aware of the impact he had. Loved his voice and guitar skills. Must have been a challenge to play with Keith! ELP takes priority when I play music. I miss the wonderful musicians we've lost and thankful Carl Palmer for keeping their music alive.
Thank you very much for posting! This was very enjoyable to watch for sure, what an amazing musician, amazing voice filled with passion and residence, and most of all, what a tremendous human being he was, always laughing always smiling, rest in peace my dear brother
This playing. Beautiful, breathtaking... incomparable. You know, I could watch a thousand different people play these same riffs, listen to a thousand more play these tunes, hear thousands more yet sing them, (they are all over the place and have been done, even here on the tube) but no one, ever, will be able to play *this* way, and with *this* kind of intensity, and with such magic, as Greg. Where does the passion come from inside this man??? I so want to play music with him.
I saw ELP at the CAPITOL THEATER in Salt Lake City in the 90's. It was a small movie theater converted into a concert theater as well as for theatrical productions, and had great acoustics. The concert was amazing and the sound mesmerizing. I knew of a few ELP hits but after that night I never stopped listening. What a truly amazing band. Greg Lake's guitar compositions are so haunting and remind me of music from the Celtic age. I wish he and Emerson would have lived much longer. I could listen to their music forever. RIP to many of the truly great ones. I look forward to hearing their music in the next life. ❤ The music of those artists who lived and performed through the 60s-late 80's was truly some of the greatest most talented songs ever performed. It seems afterward bands got into copy-cat renditions and creativity was lost with the exception of a few who shined through. Thank you ELP for such creativity and talent rarely heard now days. I have always been too introverted to let my talent show to anyone other than friends and family, one of my many regrets. Don't hide your talent when you have it. To do so is truly a sin to allow it to slip by without documenting it.
Greg is so good and talented musician. So underrated imo. Always admired him. His voice takes me to places no other vocalist can, and love to see him doing sound check. Top notch musician of our time. Thank god he never tried to be guitar or bass hero, but focused on making historical music instead. This is absolutely no rant towards Keith, i play keyboards and he was the best in that.
Puny Poppy profesional just lime the other 2 you wont find musiciams ever again like this everything is to easy and if your good looking people think your great
I was fortunate to meet Greg that same year when I was a production assistant for the 1993 Children Under Siege benefit for children of Bosnia at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. My job was helping artists during rehearsals. As an aspiring musician, I talked music with him (and others such as Simon Phillips), and the thing I remember was how gracious he was. A true gentleman.
Same.. I loved that Middle Eastern scale he played on bass early on in the video.. Underrated just like Terry Kath of Chicago, but when you gain a few pounds, they forget about you fast, and will never put your interview/photo on a magazine
OMG, so much fun to watch. Miss you so much Greg, but I watch your vids every night. Grew up with ELP. Musician extrordinaire, voice of an angle, thanks for such great memories. Jesus put you on earth for everlasting pleasure, one of a kind. Thank you for helping me get through the most rough year of 2020. Carl will keep your music alive. RIP Carl and Keith. ♥️✝️
"Oozed" implies a slow discharge.... This man was a tsunami of talent!.... Yet gently released so we could all ponder his charismatic sheer talent and character as a human being...... He was and still is.... a unique contributor to music.....with ELP and in his own right of course. May Keith & Greg find peace in God's Heaven..... Up there amongst the stars.Where they belong.
Soy de Chile , ELP tocaron aca el mismo año de este ensayo 1993,.. en su gira por America,-. , no tenia dinero y junte cada centavo para ir a verlos , el sonido y la voz de este grupo me encanto desde que estaba en la escuela en los años 70 , la forma de tocar de Greg me inspiro para aprender la guitarra , al escuchar From the Beginning me transporto a esos dias , Gracias Elp y a ti Greg por su arte y haber venido a mi pais.
RIP... Fronted KING CRIMSONS MASTERPIECE ITCOTCK . WAKE OF POSEIDON. ELP . An English Gentleman. Looks Angelic Voice with The Chops On Bass and Guitar. Acoustic playing just beautiful . Great producer. Left alot behind. In Heaven now with Keith Emerson among the Angel's. Greatly missed. Seen this Tour ELP . Just Tremendous .💕
@mb13972 At 4:42, take a look down by his feet. It's a soundboard. Some of the "jangly" is from phase shifting. Some of it is from the guitar and he can add the sound in with his feet as he's playing.
Can you imagine that Premier Guitar guy doing one of those "rig rundowns" with Keith's keyboard rig? Would take three days. "What's this knob do?" "I dunno, turn it and find out." Guy turns knob: head immediately blows apart and hangs the universe.
Limerick to celebrate Greg’s birthdate :::: Into Greg Lake I daily dunk His voice has me in a dizzy funk His acoustic playing, so pretty His bold,mighty bass gets me giddy And good Lord almighty, what a hunk! ❤🎶☮️
Really miss this guy. Aside from being such a talent on guitar and bass, his voice was so powerful and crystal clear.
This year marks the 5th anniversary of the passing of Keith and Greg; RIP Gentlemen!
You are greatly missed!
"Greatly Missed"....Simply does not cover it.... There is nothing today that comes close.
😢
From the beginning, oh what a treasure he was... Rest in peace, Greg. We'll all miss you.
i could listen to this man play guitar forever...absolutely beautiful
The adorable face of Greg - always the entertainer whether with ELP or on his own. Miss him but privileged to hear his amazing voice. Thankx Greg for so many years.
Been listening now for nigh on 50 years....ELP...Greg..... Just so many late nights listening.... being lifted....
Greg Lake, we will never see his like again. R.I.P
My gosh, even Greg Lake’s speaking voice was beautiful. I miss him so.
Yes hahahah I love his voice is wonderful when he speaks and improvises
I loved how he played his guitars especially the sounds from You Turn Me On
Great guitarist as well ass bass player and....The Best Progrock Voice!...Rip dear Greg whetever you are...we'll love you forever!
his acoustic playing is just beautiful RIP Greg Lake 🙏🏻
Still love listening to ELP all these years later and can sit back and imagine the great music of 70s we rocked to so hard and relaxed with so well. Thanks ELP
Lakes speaking voice is amazing! Loved elp
What a complete musician!
And total focus.
Miss him...
You were so loved. Age 17 you made it big. You lived your dream and you filled so many hearts.
That guitar makes me weep with joy.
I grew up listening your voice....MISSING YOU GUY!
Class, pure talent, and sympathy. Great Greg, you always live in our hearts.
Greg lake you had a wonderful voice!!!
Thank you Greg!.. God bless you.

Saw them this tour!! Yes!! Love you Greg

That is so cool. I didn't realize Greg was triggering the orchestral parts in Tarkus.
Tears from my eyes when I hear him. Requies in pace Greg.
Love Greg....these 3 are the epitome of pure brilliance....thanks for leaving us awesome music!
Thank you very much for posting! This was very enjoyable to watch for sure, what an amazing musician, amazing voice filled with passion and residence, and most of all, what a tremendous human being he was, always laughing always smiling, rest in peace my dear brother
Wasn’t he the most beautiful man ever to walk on God’s green earth? I really miss this genius. I’m grieving the loss of Mr. Lake.
I 100% 👍 agree.
YES!
THE voice of the soundtrack of my life!
Truly
I don’t know how beautiful he is, but he’s a great singer, guitarist and bass player!
I could watch this all day! What an amazing man... :Love his music SO much! RIP Greg Lake!
This playing. Beautiful, breathtaking... incomparable. You know, I could watch a thousand different people play these same riffs, listen to a thousand more play these tunes, hear thousands more yet sing them, (they are all over the place and have been done, even here on the tube) but no one, ever, will be able to play *this* way, and with *this* kind of intensity, and with such magic, as Greg. Where does the passion come from inside this man??? I so want to play music with him.
Such a pure player, imagine having to front a band with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer, monsters of music
And King Crimson!
It's a lot easier when you're a monster yourself.

Great musician, enjoy your new trip Greg
Best...bass...tone...ever!
Even his sound checks are HOT!
I loved "Jerusalem".
OH,YES !! Watching his hands !! 😁👍
Right?!
Greg is so good and talented musician. So underrated imo. Always admired him. His voice takes me to places no other vocalist can, and love to see him doing sound check. Top notch musician of our time. Thank god he never tried to be guitar or bass hero, but focused on making historical music instead.

Low 'F' at Anaheim Stadium 'Aquatarkus' bass solo. THAT"S the way-ya' do-it!
Puny Poppy profesional just lime the other 2 you wont find musiciams ever again like this everything is to easy and if your good looking people think your great
...and he was just so FREAKIN GORGEOUS!!!❤❤❤❤❤
He gets such a big sound out of that Martin..
God I miss these guys. They defined the word "Epic" in music.
I was fortunate to meet Greg that same year when I was a production assistant for the 1993 Children Under Siege benefit for children of Bosnia at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. My job was helping artists during rehearsals. As an aspiring musician, I talked music with him (and others such as Simon Phillips), and the thing I remember was how gracious he was. A true gentleman.
So sad to hear about Greg, especially in the same year as Keith... RIP guys..
....FANTASTIC SOUNDCHECK! ! ! . .GREAT EMERSON AND LAKE, R.I.P.!
Magnificent acoustic tone. Love the Spanish riffs
Robert Schmitt , hi Robert! Greg Lake and Steve Howe (Yes) are my fav guitar players of all time!
Same.. I loved that Middle Eastern scale he played on bass early on in the video.. Underrated just like Terry Kath of Chicago, but when you gain a few pounds, they forget about you fast, and will never put your interview/photo on a magazine
I think Greg Lake was not only an amazing vocalist and bass player, his guitar playing is brilliant.
Geesh, he was so good, wasn't he? Everything he touched from Bass to Guitar, sounded so beautiful in his hands. What a terrible loss. I am sad.
fastrelief v
and a nice guy !
He was classically trained . Him and Fripp together as kids...
He sure was..
Saw them just after this in Kansas City in March. BEST. CONCERT. EVER.
This MAN was music, and music was HIM. Rest in Peace Greg [']

Greg Lake died on December 7th 2016 at the age of 69 he is heaven with Keith
There will never be music like this ever again..
I love Greg so much and he has such a cute little face 😊💜🇦🇺
I was at that concert... So glad I was finally able to see them live...
I remember first hearing them on 102.7 WNEW FM in New York with a radio host Scott muni. Where Rock Lived 1967 to 1997
This is great stuff! Loved watching it.
Kieth was having troubles with his right hand way back in 93 and suffered along until he couldn't
Anymore...Amazing Man...
In the interviews I have seen, it seems he was a really Great guy!
Amazingly talented and a kind person
I bow in reverence to this man!
Talent oozed from Greg
"Oozed" implies a slow discharge.... This man was a tsunami of talent!....
Yet gently released so we could all ponder his charismatic sheer talent and character as a human being......
He was and still is.... a unique contributor to music.....with ELP and in his own right of course.
May Keith & Greg find peace in God's Heaven..... Up there amongst the stars.Where they belong.
STunning view, sound, and historic document...YEAH...¡¡¡

Pretty wonderful to see this back stage video.
A superior guitarist, love his music and his voice. Farewell Greg
Come to think of it, looking at the date.. I was at that show!!
This is fabulous
You can recognize that voice with just a "one, two."
Greg had an incredible voice.
I was fortunate to be there...such a great concert...what a loss..😥😥😥

Que hermoso era ♥. Bueno, los tres.
Greg Lake was able to improvise on the bass and guitar is amazing hahahah I love you Greg
And at his feet, the infamous carpet.
GREAT MUSICIAN!!
god I love this guy
no words
@mb13972 At 4:42, take a look down by his feet. It's a soundboard. Some of the "jangly" is from phase shifting. Some of it is from the guitar and he can add the sound in with his feet as he's playing.
What a job :), thanks for posting, Sandy (Dan Lee's wife)
Somewhat underrated as the genius guitar player he was. He is very greatly missed.
The almighty got is bass and lead keys in one year, lucky man !
Much missed, a real class act and so humble
If there's an afterlife, my want is to take bass guitar lessons from Greg Lake.
I was backstage for the 2 nights there 3&4th!!!
Thank you
I think at about 2:00 he was doing "Black Moon."
I would have paid a lot of money to have attended a Greg Lake sound check.
Can you imagine that Premier Guitar guy doing one of those "rig rundowns" with Keith's keyboard rig? Would take three days. "What's this knob do?" "I dunno, turn it and find out." Guy turns knob: head immediately blows apart and hangs the universe.
Look at the size of that backline!
LOVE the expanded chord voicings in "Touch And Go"!
How could I not of seen that you did
Pure class
just so cool!!!
This is an ELP soundcheck. Carl and Keith can be both heard and seen.
Bravo come bassista, ma alla chitarra acustica eri eccezionale, te ne sei andato troppo presto ❤️
Limerick to celebrate Greg’s birthdate ::::
Into Greg Lake I daily dunk
His voice has me in a dizzy funk
His acoustic playing, so pretty
His bold,mighty bass gets me giddy
And good Lord almighty, what a hunk!
❤🎶☮️
Final check Sound & Trial Song .. Three Man Legend Musician High Skill Improvisation Music ...👏👏👏
I Love it - Amo
Jeez- 3:00- heaven.
In Peace Rick on!
I see Keith was struggling with the hand. Playing solos with index and thumb only.
Thats what I thought but damn. Way back then?
