I'm a 69 yr old record producer/ drummer, highly skilled, and an ELP fan. This is the greatest killer copy of this song I have ever heard. Stunning, to say the least. I also am a musical prick. I hope after this gig you guys went out and had a few give each other hugs and told yourselves that was GREAT. Cause it was. What care to detail and respect for the original. WOW, Great. I hope you are all alive and still playing. Great. Be Proud.
This has always been an emotional song for me. Even more so now in the sad absence of both Greg Lake and Keith Emerson, thanks for putting a little shine on this jewel of progressive rock gods ELP and keeping the love alive✌️
My guess is that 85% of the people at the picnic had never heard this piece. "From the Beginning" is a superb introduction to ELP for anyone under 40 who'd never heard of them.
Nice cover guys . For me this is one of those songs that can never get old . You guys did a good job . RIP Greg Lake, Keith Emerson, ELP. Greatly missed.
Two kids on the bench not realizing they are being dosed with an all-time great tune. Right into their bone marrow. Love this, and Doug grinning the entire time.
Escucho a ELP desde 1972...,y escuché muchas covers ; pero son duda está es la mejor versión. Excelente y distinguida imitación ; y evocación. ( Thanks !!! )
Greg would of been delighted. Another great job guys. People think this is an easy sound do duplicate because ELP made it look so effortlessly. I'm impressed and I've played for over 50 yrs.
A few days ago the Neighbourhood Picnic Band appeared on my YT front page. I thought what the hell and ignored it. Then it appeared again so I listened and watched, now I am hooked. Looks like the band only existed for a short spell in 2015. They did great justice to all the music that they played. I have subscribed, but sad that they don't seem to be performing now.
Thanks Ian! Actually, we've been doing this every year since 2006 until 2019. We're hoping to do it again in 2022.

You guys must live in a magical neighborhood! That was pretty damned near the best cover I've ever heard of "From the Beginning" . Awesome is a term that is too often used and seems to have lost any weight it used to carry, so all I can say is that upon listening to it again, a couple of times, it is the best cover, you guys did a terrific job. More ribs and tater salad for everyone. Thanks.
incredible fellas...love this tune and played it with a few cover bands with quality players. I play keyboards (started in mid 70s) and very impressed with Doug Orlando's playing and authentic detail of the patches he is using. I just wish I lived near enough to bring a shit load of bbq chicken or beef kabobs to the next picnic!
Really enjoyed playing Keith Emerson’s Moog solo programmed sound on the Es2 DAW synth in Logic Studio , using Korg triton as controller. Thanks for all the comments on this !
Great rendition of a classic song. Everyone did their parts well. Lots of little areas in this song where mistakes could have been made. You've all obviously practiced it alot. Nice job.
No one covers this !!! ...you guys nailed it !!!! Some talented musicians up there ! Great job boys
Yall knocked that one right out of the ballpark, EXCELLENT 😊

Thank you George, we are all old friends that do this gig once a year for fun. We all go back 50 years!
Thank you for the kind words!
@@TheHammerhead12 The Gods smile on such a friendship
(...and I'm just plain envious)
As made my day!! Many thanks. Took me back to great old days! ELP was and still is my favorite… you all are incredible.
One of my favorite ELP , Thanks for a perfect performance of this song !
This has always been an emotional song for me. Even more so now in the sad absence of both Greg Lake and Keith Emerson, thanks for putting a little shine on this jewel of progressive rock gods ELP and keeping the love alive✌️
How in the world does anyone have a conversation during this song! I'd be staring in awe with my mouth open.

She identifies as a woman and is probably an American. Therefore what she wants takes precedent over the wishes of everyone else. @@you166mhz
Bravo! Great cover!
One of the greatest songs in rock history. Just as good as the original. IMHO
Excellent! You don't see too many Emerson Lake and Palmer covers.
You will have to try and find the blind lass who does Keith Emerson !

Wow boys, you pulled it together good and tight one that one. Nice work 👏💯👏
Bass man keeps it all together!
That organist loves what he does. Love the smile!
Guy’s, you are amazing. I’ve been an ELP fan for half a century and you give them the respect they deserve. Bravo!
so awesome and so true to ELP original! you had all the frills in that!
One of the greatest songs in history. So glad to see others who play and appreciate great music. Well done!
The best version and perfect. Not an easy piece. Awesome performance! Cheers! Thank you!!
Excellent Bass and really good job on the vocal although no one could ever do it like Greg Lake (R.I. P.).
Cool, from beginning, you're guys nail it.
Excellent. You guys nail it.
Just subscribed
Yeah, you nailed it!
GREAT JOB CREW
Good stuff right there my son !
I love ELP. This is a great cover. Greg would have loved this ❤
I think this song got the attention of thr public and launched the career of Emerson, Lahe, and Palmer!!

Wonderful, the best cover that I ever heard
I love this song, and it's hard to find a bad cover. And you guys did it beautifully!
Brilliant
What a crispy guitar accoustic guitar playing...
Like it from the beginning of the song...
ELP, bring back lots of memories !
I dig the hell out of this band, your set list is amazing
61 year old musician, I've seen ELP twice and I play this song too. That was really good!!
It's like the best open mic ever
This is fantastic.
Real talent right there.
You guys need to go on tour - I'm serious.
Best rendition I've ever heard.

Im sorry it took so long to find you guys. Nice job. You did a great job from the beginning.
Sounds good guys.
Just great. I’ve never heard any bands cover this before.
You guys are superb.
Great job, guys, bass, acoustic guitar, keyboards percussions just spot-on! Very good solo and excellent vocals!
The synthesizer notes give the chills. Good job 👏 guys.
Absolutely wonderful
God I'm getting old, these songs take me back!!
I'm 52ys old! I'm Rocker still!
miss my 20's!
That is the closest cover Ive seen so far. Almost there on all the sounds. Good job

Very cool, thanks for this!
I grew up in Detroit in 70's uhf station channel 20 always ended the broadcast day with that key board outro
@@zim1966 love it! Thanks for sharing.
Try playing some Jordan Rudis and get back to me. One of the simplest solos that Emerson ever did. Good job though
Amazing. Greetings from Costa@Rome.Italy
Wasn't expecting this - excellent.
Ditto the earlier "open mic" comment. What talent!
Very impressive performance. I truly wish I could've been to one of their performances. Thank you for posting.
ELP was a really great group. And these guys paid honor to this song in a good way. Nicely done.
Muy bien muchachos....felicitaciones....muy dificl tema y lo sacaron adelante CLAP CLAP

THAT was just so very nice fellas. So very well done by not being overdone and your attention to details and dynamics.
Awesome, wow, I think you guys made it sound better. 😀 👏👏👏🙌🥰
A música do ELP não pode morrer.
Sempre tem de ter alguém tocando as maravilhosas obras de uma das maiores vandas da história. 👏👏👏
Superb from the beginning!!!
Pretty fantastic. 💜
that sounds great!
Wow! This guys are good. 👏👏👏
Watching these guys all night. . . waiting for something from "Yes." They cover everything . . . might be coming. But this is tasteful here.
Awesome!
Excelente cover
