Modest Musorgsky was a great musician, this a nice little tribute to his Brilliance, he wrote about the pictures at an actual exhibition. I congratulate the acustic guitarist here.
It’s been around 40 years since I’ve heard this. It’s a shame life keeps us so busy that an album we used to play so often every grace note was tattooed into our memory we don’t have time in that long of a period to even go out to the storage shed and find the LP. Great vinyl brings it all back without a single YT commercial to disrupt the return to my former life in a long forgotten galaxy. Now back to hell for me. Bless ya.

@@gelubatir9794 Yes, modern rendition of classical era notation gives archaic melody a warmer identity to the hearer in my view. This album causes some of life’s drama to be assuaged by putting its complexity to audio. An LP I can use for healing in a manner with which corporate medicine cannot compete.
@@johnnichols9056Agreed on both counts, John. Found myself listening to “Pictures” again last night for some reason. Such utter relief! Glad to know there will always be an ELP community to identify with as we all turn into old outdated nobodies.
Go to it. Make the time. Not easy I know, I too am pushed and pulled along all day long, just stayed up 3 hours late listening to Marillion, Porcupine tree, and ELP . Might be more tired in the morning but at least just did something good for myself!
My dad was at this show aged 19, saw a lot of bands since then, and still says this was one of the best he went to. His fandom of ELP rubbed off on me, still listening 2021 during the covid pandemic!
Your father is a wise man. I introduced my children to this music as they were growing up. Only stuck with two of them. Two out of three ain’t bad. First saw them live in ‘73 at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Was blown away.
Tried to see them in Milan, Italy in 1972 ( I was 15)...Had my ticket and everything...The night they were supposed to perform they did not and promoter gave some justification....I waited another day and still they didn't play...I learned later they were effing drunk.....Tickets were reimbursed
Hello men, yes I heard this miracle for the first time in 1977, I hid my violin under the bed and only played the piano, I didn't have a Hammond organ. These three men taught me music, thank you very much ELP. I cry and write it, I hope you can understand me.
Victor this band had such a profound influence on me. Their music was perfect. I don't know whether I Cry for my former bandmates all of which are now dead or the music that we listen to together so yes I understand what you're saying. I will never forget regular Lake we just leg up on call Palmer's stage and the children were racing playing hoedown at the Philadelphia Spectrum. I missed ELP as much as I miss them take care of my friend

I haven't pulled this one up in decades. So much music since then. What a wonderful world. My folks had one of those Magnavox console stereo TV units. 12 inch woofers, tweets and horns, mid-range 5's. I'd crank this album up while they were out of the house. Rattling the rafters at 15.
Noquestion this is an absolute masterpiece from Emerson. Lake & Palmer and I am still amazed about the quality of this groundbreaking record. ELP were a Top group seeing them Live play was a pure joy love this music still today and it does not sound outdated at all. Wish we would have music today in this quality . Enjoy it all guys and gals. ! Joerg
I feel you. That voice carries the entire concert all by itself at 6:42 and again at 7:04. No backup, no instrumentation ... nothing. Every single note hit perfectly, no hesitation, not a single waver or rough edge. I can't think of anyone else who could do that with such understated confidence.
This is my favourite recording of all time. My wife is a classical musician and we frequent the local symphony. Can’t pass up Mussorgsky ever. It never gets tired. ELP rocks it the best!
Recorded 26th March 1971 at Newcastle City Hall , Newcastle UK and I was in the audience, I was 14 years old!!!. Keith Emerson played the opening on the City Hall organ then ran down to the stage. My prog rock days ! I still have the original album on Island records and was released on their budget HELP label for £1.50 !

I remember in1972 arguing with my music teacher at school about this album. He played the Hammond solo from great gates of Kiev and said it was just a load of nonsense rubbish! I told him that if he played the whole track and not just that part in isolation he might learn something. I explained to him that seeing this live at a show was an amazing experience. He played the track as a whole piece and the rest of the class agreed with me.
This has to one of my favourite albums of all time. I have always have loved Mussorgsky's music and playing classical music for many years - this blew my socks off when I 1st heard it in 1971!
To neni mozne!!?! Ja je slysela take poprve v roce 1971 a naprosto mne uchvatili! take miluji hudbu Mussorgskeho a hraji od 9 let na klavir, klasicku hudbu. Nezname se, ale nase hudebni, zivotni, linka jde paralelne, vid?
Ascoltare questa formazione di geni assoluti è sempre esaltante, ti fa passare tristezza, ansia ed incazzature varie... sono grandiosi, privilegiati coloro che, ai tempi, ebbero la possibilità di viverli live... io ero ancora un ragazzino ed ascoltavo lo zecchino d'oro. assieme a JARRETT E TIPPET... EMERSON conpleta il trio dei Keith sublimi ed inarrivabili.
When I listen to them, I go back in time. This band is a unique device for time travel, thru their original music. It envokes memories in our minds, and I am not alone - thereby I we get to re-live the past of the 1970's.
I have never seen them in person but love there music they were a great band and I love listening to there music they were very talented God Bless them all
Thank you ELP for opening my mind to endless musical possibilities, thru your ageless music. After I heard it for the first time, I could not get enough, and I was forever altered.
I used to put this on our livingroom console when I was a teenager and my sisters and little brother would do the "monster walk" to that tune at the very beginning....I got this album one year for my sister in later years and she said it brought back so many memories.
Great bass playing. Used to listen to this as a 11 year old... can u imagine that now...still stands the test of time...all 3 were brilliant. Tarkus is still my fave. The triple live is bloody good too.
I have had a slightly musical gap in my life lately. A kind of emptiness within that I have tried to find new music to fill. ELP has been in my background since I scratched my dad's records in the mid 70 trying to play them. Always like them and loved a few of the recordings. But now almost 50 year's later ELP fills up the emptiness within. And I'm so happy to have them as a part of my life.
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS THE SAME EMOTIONS, THE SAME THOUGHTS, THE SAME FEELINGS...ONE CAN NEVER STOP LISTENING TO THEM...THEY WERE MY BROTHERS I NEVER HAD, THEY LIVE HERE, WITH ME, IN ME, EVERY MOMENT...gelu batir, romania, 65 years old, too old
This album turned me on to classical Pictures. Haven't heard this ELP version of Pictures in at lest 30 years because I lost the LP. ELP turned me onto the orchestral Pictures at an Exhibition which became my favorite classical work. I was a huge fan of ELP in high school and they were the first concert I ever attended--at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. I got into jazz in college and Emerson's strong jazz and classical background really grabbed me.
Fantastic album, listen to that crowd roar at the announcement! My workmate’s pal was at this concert. I sold all my old records, but soon to get a record deck and all analogue system and start buying some of my old favourites again. This record is one of the first on my list.👍 Update. Managed to get an original pressing of this album in great condition. Am at this moment playing it loudly on my new system and it sounds bloody brilliant, what a way to piss off the neighbours😂😂😂
This album came out when I’ve was 5 . My brothers and I wore out the copy. I had to be a drummer because of Carl Palmer. Unreal masterpiece. Thanks for posting this
They where and still are lite years ahead.... it's classic music of the future! I felt in love with their music in the 70s and I had the pleasure to see them in concert in Wimbledon, just magic
At that time, I was an ordinary junior high school student in Japan. However, I started learning the piano before taking my high school entrance exams. It all started when I heard about the paintings in the EL&P exhibition. I still love EL&P.
If one knows moog-sounds, one knows that what happens here is a miracle. Which the whole concert is. Probably the best live-LP ever. - I heard it first time when I lend it from the library in Esbjerg back in 1974. - regards, Peter, Denmark.
I'm back to my teens again. The band that widen my horizon of music. I grew up with hard rock such as DP, LZ and others but this ELP really shocking from the first time. Until now I'm still starting my day with Tarkus.
Saw this played live in San Bernadino, CA back in the late 70's. Will never forget the piano rising into the air and then rotating while being played. Who needs lasers?
Voy a llegar a los 65 años y sí, es una obra inolvidable me inspiró desde que la escuché la primera vez hasta el dia de hoy. Me sige emocionando, sobre todo la interpretación de The Sage.
Gracias a algunos grupos de este género amplíe mí bagaje músical, desde la música clásica,pasando por la música concreta y dodecafonica,los Italianos también tienen un buen rock progresivo,gracias por subir estos videos,un gran abrazo desde México.
Bought the album during the winter of 71-72 when it first came out. Hadn’t listened to it in many a year, glad I listened now. Saw them at Madison Square Garden, it was great. Thanks for posting.
I've seen ELP in Paris early 70' IT was fantastic😉 and had this LP and Tarkus but they've been stolen in my studio :((( - great souvenir. RIP gentlemen 💔
I heard this playing a record place one time. I turned to my sister and asked "is this a prog rock cover album of pictures at an exhibition?"... yes. Yes it quite literally is holy moly
This was lovely, thank you, God I miss vinyl. I was also hoping we would get to see you physically flip the record over, key part of the ritual and such.
ELP back then were almost punk. Borderline reckless, but they got away with it cuz they were that good. It's the quality I wish they could have held onto.
I mail-ordered this album in the early 70s, perhaps from Virgin Records (they got their start as a mail-order company). When it arrived, it was on the Manticore label. Side 1 was PAAE, but Side 2 was Fats Waller Live. I keep it around for no reason. I have a good version on the Island label so everything's okay. Today, though, I usually prefer the original solo piano score. In classical circles it's known as a show piece. I never really liked Ravel's orchestrated version. The first Promenade (the opening piece) is magnificent, so grand, it absolutely sends me. I love the way the concert begins with the announcement _"We're gonna give you Pictures At An Exhibition"_ - and the crowd instantly goes absolutely WILD with enthusiasm! Must have been pretty sophisticated crowd.
I saw this movie when I it came out. There were no other MOOG synthesizers featured in music, at this time. Keith Emerson experimenting right during a song. Lake's guitar work, vocals can just melt a person. AND THEN KEITH IS BACK FOR ANOTHER ""TRIP"". PALMER, well, what can I say.......💥BANG!
👍Paulo, they are the big 3 prog rock groups.. That said, the Moody Blues, Genesis, and Jethro Tull are right up there too in my book, but don’t ask me to put them in an order of great to greatest. That is too tough a task!😉
Greg was very underrated with his bass and guitar playing. He was one of the best out there. He was not only a great bass player but a wonderful guitarist as well. How lucky we were those of us who grew up in the late 60's and early 70's to have such wonderful musician's to listen too. I miss that time in my life. And I miss Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. I hope they are playing on that great stage in the sky with all the other wonderful musicians who have also gone on and left us. What a concert that would be!!
This LP me launched my intererest in classical music...my parents heard me playing it,got me the solo piano version by Mussorgsky,then the orchestral arrangement by Ravel...then I found out a brass band version by The Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and a Tomita synth version...This LP on view is obviously a reissue as it originally appeared on Island Help,a cheap budget label release...later reissued full price on Manticore.
Sir, this is probably the best transfer to TH-cam from vinyl I ever heard. This album was perfectly engineered (especially in early '70s!). I have listened to it a billion times since I got mine in the early '70s. Nothing is over driven, the audio clarity and quality is excellent. I no longer have this album. I am greatly moved! That they made this recording so well, in the infancy of electronic music instruments (Moog) and drums were difficult to record. John Bonham from Led Zeppelin talked about it back in the day. Well thank you for uploading this. Greg Lake's voice and guitar is not washy as heard in other transfers, drums and cymbals are clean and crisp! This is perfect! Now that you did this.. would you happen to have a copy of "Welcome back my friends..." ?
Thank you for your kind comment. I have everything ELP up to "Works Volume 1", so I have lots of stuff from them to upload. I'll pick something from "Welcome Back..." for my next video. Thank you again!
They recorded it on a direct-to-2-track tape machine, probably running at a high speed. They said they recorded it with the intention of putting it out as an album, but Atlantic initially turned it down, saying it wouldn't sell, as it was a classical-oriented album. When it was put out in the UK, Island Records imported thousands of copies to the US, they all sold, and that convinced Atlantic that it was work releasing.
@@Esotereclectic The politics of recording the industry huh? I dont think I will ever get over this quality of recording. Its up there with Telarc, Blue Note Jazz, and this.. I been doing high end audio for over 40 years, and ELP before that, and this album, recorded live at this tme is beyond anyones reality. Whoever laid this down to the masters gets a free pass to Heaven.
@@NothingLikeVinyl Want to knwo something funny? Here I am tonight listening to this, and realizing all over again that this is a super kick ass recording, and going to comment then realizing, damit I already commented on this very thing 5 mnths ago! Well I dont care how many time you record it, just keep doing it! haha... Cheers dude.. I just cannot believe how beautifully pure this upload sounds. I am newly impressed all over again, as if it was a first time. The clarity of Greg Lakes guitar, voice, the synths, percussion.. damn. .
The best Progressive Rock Music Group ever.
dunno about that...Pink floyd are pretty good so James Harvest Barclay
Modest Musorgsky was a great musician, this a nice little tribute to his Brilliance, he wrote about the pictures at an actual exhibition. I congratulate the acustic guitarist here.
Also the other composer from ELP were taking their inspiration, like Grieg or Sibelius
The guitarists name is Greg Lake, he also sings and plays bassguitar..😉

Escuché este disco por primera vez a los 14 algo s. Tengo 63. Bello
I Heard this récord when i was 14 years old. I'm 63. Beautiful
My Favorite Album!
Escucharlo veinte mil veces no alcanza. Y esta tiene la particular forma de hacerlo en su formato original. ¡Bestial!
Bought the album during the winter of 71-72 when it first came out. Hadn’t listened to it in many a year, glad I listened now. Saw them at Madison Square Garden, it was great. Thanks for posting.
It's an unique interpretation of a special russian music. Absolutely inrepeatable.
Versione geniale ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
I've seen ELP in Paris early 70' IT was fantastic😉 and had this LP and Tarkus but they've been stolen in my studio :((( - great souvenir. RIP gentlemen 💔
I heard this playing a record place one time. I turned to my sister and asked "is this a prog rock cover album of pictures at an exhibition?"... yes. Yes it quite literally is holy moly
This was lovely, thank you, God I miss vinyl. I was also hoping we would get to see you physically flip the record over, key part of the ritual and such.
Iconic, a piece of history, incredible Greg's voice, unbelievable use of keyboards, still unbelievable after 50 years.
Keith Emerson...The best keyboardist in pop-rock history bar none
I'm revisiting this after decades, I am still in awe.
Analog is better, proof is here, thanks for making me feel bad about throwing away those records a decade ago.
Es ist wahr, gute LP's schmeisse ich nicht weg, auch wenn ich sie 20 oder mehr Jahre nicht höre. Aber sie bleiben immer im Unterbewusstsein.
Yes, Analog that has been digitised by TH-cam.
La gioia ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉Giuseppe Perego Monza
Those analogue synth sounds are just gorgeous
Love this. First bought back in 1975. Awesome
Man Thank You for posting the whole album! Awesome sound as always. Have a great day!
Sublime talent. The State - It has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace. - Rod Serling from "The Obsolete Man"
I can not comprehend that this was recorded before my 18th birthday. Still so wonderful. Been a fan for 50 years+
Thank you for putting this up!!!
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Saw them with the 70 pc. Orchestra. What a sound! I'll never forget that
show, with my good friend Tim McClure.
I only seen them once in 1973 at the shever 500 concert in pa I did 2 hits of window pain wow 🤩 I was rip 🇮🇪🌎🇮🇪🕛🐚🎶
ELP back then were almost punk. Borderline reckless, but they got away with it cuz they were that good. It's the quality I wish they could have held onto.
Inconfondibil!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Giuseppe
I mail-ordered this album in the early 70s, perhaps from Virgin Records (they got their start as a mail-order company). When it arrived, it was on the Manticore label. Side 1 was PAAE, but Side 2 was Fats Waller Live. I keep it around for no reason. I have a good version on the Island label so everything's okay. Today, though, I usually prefer the original solo piano score. In classical circles it's known as a show piece. I never really liked Ravel's orchestrated version. The first Promenade (the opening piece) is magnificent, so grand, it absolutely sends me.
I love the way the concert begins with the announcement _"We're gonna give you Pictures At An Exhibition"_ - and the crowd instantly goes absolutely WILD with enthusiasm! Must have been pretty sophisticated crowd.
12 anni ......... mi ha cambiato la vita musicale ....
An old fave. Great to hear it again!
I saw this movie when I it came out. There were no other MOOG synthesizers featured in music, at this time. Keith Emerson experimenting right during a song. Lake's guitar work, vocals can just melt a person. AND THEN KEITH IS BACK FOR ANOTHER ""TRIP"". PALMER, well, what can I say.......💥BANG!
I love ELP, king Crimson and Yes.
And Genesis?
I call them the 3 stooges !
I love those three and Genesis (Peter Gabriel's era).
👍Paulo, they are the big 3 prog rock groups..
That said, the Moody Blues, Genesis, and Jethro Tull are right up there too in my book, but don’t ask me to put them in an order of great to greatest. That is too tough a task!😉
Genesis, Yes, ELP, King Crimson..
Excelente música, grandes recuerdos, gracias por Compartir
Yo escuché el disco en 1974 y tengo 62 mi maestro de secundaria de música se quedó perplejo y le gustó mucho ELP fueron grandiosos músicos
Thanks very much for posting, outstanding.
Thanks for posting!
Great music, thank for posting
thank you for sharing have Great night.😇💙💚
One of the best bass players in rock. You have to be an advanced player to nail down King Crimson and ELP.
Greg was very underrated with his bass and guitar playing. He was one of the best out there. He was not only a great bass player but a wonderful guitarist as well. How lucky we were those of us who grew up in the late 60's and early 70's to have such wonderful musician's to listen too. I miss that time in my life. And I miss Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. I hope they are playing on that great stage in the sky with all the other wonderful musicians who have also gone on and left us. What a concert that would be!!
You are so correct. Lake was always in the top 3 to 7 bassist categories..unheralded virtuoso..
This LP me launched my intererest in classical music...my parents heard me playing it,got me the solo piano version by Mussorgsky,then the orchestral arrangement by Ravel...then I found out a brass band version by The Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and a Tomita synth version...This LP on view is obviously a reissue as it originally appeared on Island Help,a cheap budget label release...later reissued full price on Manticore.
Sir, this is probably the best transfer to TH-cam from vinyl I ever heard. This album was perfectly engineered (especially in early '70s!). I have listened to it a billion times since I got mine in the early '70s. Nothing is over driven, the audio clarity and quality is excellent. I no longer have this album. I am greatly moved!
That they made this recording so well, in the infancy of electronic music instruments (Moog) and drums were difficult to record. John Bonham from Led Zeppelin talked about it back in the day.
Well thank you for uploading this.
Greg Lake's voice and guitar is not washy as heard in other transfers, drums and cymbals are clean and crisp!
This is perfect!
Now that you did this.. would you happen to have a copy of "Welcome back my friends..." ?
Thank you for your kind comment. I have everything ELP up to "Works Volume 1", so I have lots of stuff from them to upload. I'll pick something from "Welcome Back..." for my next video. Thank you again!
They recorded it on a direct-to-2-track tape machine, probably running at a high speed.
They said they recorded it with the intention of putting it out as an album, but Atlantic initially turned it down, saying it wouldn't sell, as it was a classical-oriented album. When it was put out in the UK, Island Records imported thousands of copies to the US, they all sold, and that convinced Atlantic that it was work releasing.
@@Esotereclectic The politics of recording the industry huh? I dont think I will ever get over this quality of recording. Its up there with Telarc, Blue Note Jazz, and this.. I been doing high end audio for over 40 years, and ELP before that, and this album, recorded live at this tme is beyond anyones reality. Whoever laid this down to the masters gets a free pass to Heaven.
@@NothingLikeVinyl Want to knwo something funny?
Here I am tonight listening to this, and realizing all over again that this is a super kick ass recording, and going to comment then realizing, damit I already commented on this very thing 5 mnths ago!
Well I dont care how many time you record it, just keep doing it! haha... Cheers dude.. I just cannot believe how beautifully pure this upload sounds. I am newly impressed all over again, as if it was a first time. The clarity of Greg Lakes guitar, voice, the synths, percussion.. damn.
.
Chasss gracias!!! este es el mejor disco de ELP.
Masters of Prog !!! Love this vinyl rip !!!!
La voce di Greg Lake è sempre commovente...
Si...Sempre bellissima....RIP
