Emerson, Lake & Palmer - From the beginning - cover by Virtual ELP Cover Band

This masterpiece of ELP is from our long "to do" list.
All the Synth sounds are generated by VST plugins
like Arturia’s Modular V3 and by Steinberg’s
Halion Sonic & Retrologue.
On Acoustic & Electric Guitars, we are pleased to
introduce John from Canada, who jumped in at a
moment's notice and recorded his parts
to our great satisfaction.
We hope you’ll enjoy watching this cover
as much as we enjoyed working on it…
Participants:
Len Audsley, USA: Lead Vocal - / justsingit72
Dave Becher, USA: Drums - / 17drums
Alex Faggian, Italy: Bass Guitar - / @alexfaggian7960
John Moran, Canada: Acoustic & Electric Guitars - / thelonepiper
Mihály Tunkli, "Misi", Hungary: Synthesizers, Audio & Video Editing - / mokusmisi

I am blown away by this production. Everyone nails it well, but the vocals man, wow. Len's ear is amazing, tough song to sing. The vocal melody and "bends" basically set the mood for this song and the instrumental that follows. Great job. Hat's off to all of you.

[@justsingit72]

Thank so very much for the kind words... I enjoy singing these collaborations.. and it's very nice when someone takes note..😃

Back in the day, up until 1971, i had no idea who ELP was until i heard this song for the first time, believe it or not, on a Nescafé commercial, for a new brew they had....😂 But the thing that called my attention the most, was that synth solo by Keith Emerson.... So i went on to listen to some more of their stuff...When i stumbled into their rendition of Pictures At an Exhibition, i was like 🤔 Seriously?...I was bought for life...These guys were masters in their own freaking outstanding universe..!
By the way, R.I.P. Keith & Greg..

Because I made a critical remark about your version of Karn Evil 9 part 3, I feel obliged to state here that this is the kind of perfection I was used to from ELP themselves .
In the three ELP concerts I attended, this song was the start of a "breather" after about 45 minutes of pure ELP power.
The perfection of Greg's guitar playing and singing made this song not only stand up, but rise above it, like the bird on the cover of their first studio album.
Fantastic performance guys !

[@mokusmisi]

Thanks for your nice words! :-))

[@Simon-IFF]

Amazing!
Great players and stellar vocals

[@mokusmisi]

Thanks! 😃

[@awaken77]

Love this song, quite unusual for ELP because it's guitar-dominated (except synth solo in the very end). Perfectly nailed that "bird voice" synth

[@mokusmisi]

Thank you very much! :-))

[@northernlightsmetaldetecti4458]

Outstanding rendition in general but to know that you're probably not within 500 miles of each other is truly impressive. Best cover of this tune I have ever seen.

[@mokusmisi]

Thank you very much! We are far away from each other, but it's a fun doing these virtual collaborations! :-)

Very impressive, gentlemen. My wife lists EL&P as her favorite band after The Beatles. She is a tough customer when it comes to their music and she gave you an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Great job. Perfect seeing close up guitar playing. Really enjoyed it, and I remember the original from way back.

[@salcipres8556]

I've just come across your covers of ELP and all I can say is THANK YOU so much. I'm a drummer and Carl Palmer and ELP were such a huge influence on my playing and musical growth. I love every song. Note for Note. Nobody does that with ELP. Especially Emerson's keys. Wow. Keep up this project please, please, please. I'd love to hear Still you turn me on, and every song from Tarkus, and Triolgy at a minimum. Your Brain Solid Surgery work is EPIC!

[@mokusmisi]

Thanks for your words! 🙂 In case you are able to play the drums of ELP music and have recording gigs write me your email address...

Hello I am making a Caving and Abandoned Mine Highlight Reel of 2021 all of our best snapshots for the year of our underground exploring, this is a perfect song to put with it, but I would like to ask your permission. It wouldnt give me a copyright strike either (I dont think so), It will be featured on this Channel of mine here and I would gladly put your info in the description as credit for the song. Can I have your permission to use this? The Video will be made January 1st. Thank you.

[@mokusmisi]

Hi, I asked my fellows and we have nothing against it. So, go ahead!... 🙂

[@bobmalack481]

Great reproduction, but Greg Lake sings with no voice vibratto. Emersons keyboard part is the highlight. Robert at 67.

[@mokusmisi]

Thanks for your comment! :-)
