@@scottmarleneking6298 The version of Take a Pebble on Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends - Ladies and Gentlemen (I know it's a mouthful) includes Still...You Turn Me On and Lucky Man. That's definitely the best live version on Spotify and ELP's best live album.
@@ericanderson8886 They also did the full 29 minute version of Karn Evil 9. I think that may have been testing their boundaries a little bit at the time.
Brain Salad Surgery is a brilliant album and Karn Evil 9 is a classic part of that album and Pictures at an Exhibition is probably one of the best live albums .E.L.P. are one of the great groups .
From Greg Lake, highly underrated composer, singer, guitarist, and bassist, of King Crimson and ELP. One of my favorite ELP songs, essentially a Greg Lake solo.
You mention that you weren’t sure to go next for ELP, so here’s a couple recommendations! - “C’est la vie” is an absolutely beautiful song if you want something similar to this one. Shows off Greg Lake’s amazing voice and guitar. - “Trilogy” & “The Endless Enigma” are both great longer songs if you want something a little bit different. And obviously you two *MUST* hit “Tarkus” at some point. Doesn’t need to be next, or even soon. But it is a true masterpiece! Love y’all’s channel and all your reactions! ❤
You should hit C'est La vie' and Closer to Believing next for sure! Closer to Believing is a masterpiece and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Pure Poetry.
I am soooo lucky that l got to see Greg Lake in a small theater in LA right before he passed away and yes! he played this song along with a ton of King Crimson songs. I'll never forget that night🤘🥰
ELP are a major part of my life, then and now! Just Take A Pebble, Knife Edge and The Barbarian should be listened to. If you want to do a long piece, Tarkus is a must. Thanks for this reaction, but it is definitely an A+.
@@brianmiller1077 More like naive. Once you listen to this masterpiece, you will understand the cover art. If you really like ELP, you owe it to yourself to take 18 minutes and absorb it. Thanks for the comment , though👍
Silly? Consider that if indeed, "every day a little madder, a little sadder," I believe that would put one in a massive rut - possibly even a hole. And whatever the form, it will get deeper, and deeper, with each passing day. "Someone get me ladder" seems like a fine idea at that point.
If you are rating this song based on ELP's catalog, then this is an A+ or Platinum. This song is one of the most well written, recorded, & produced songs ever. I never get tired of hearing it even after 50 years.
Swiss artist H.R. Giger designed the classic album cover of Brain Salad Surgery. His art was the inspiration for the film Alien where he was also part of the Oscar winning design team.
My favorite all-time ELP song! I also highly recommend "From The Beginning", which is another favorite of mine from the same album! Thanks for a great reaction and analysis, guys! ✌💙✌
What a blast from the past! Also made me think of Greg Lake's C'EST LA VIE - from ELP's Works, Vol.1. , which he wrote when living in Paris. RIP, Greg.
An important song on my life soundtrack. Still a favorite, though I haven't heard it in years. Thanks for bringing it back to me. It will be interesting to see how each of you take it. Here we go! :)
I think you still have not experienced the full power of this armed and fully operational power trio until you have heard the live recording of "Hoedown" from Milan, Italy, 1973. it is about three and a half minutes of pure instrumental fury, featuring Keith Emerson tearing shit up on the Hammond organ and Moog synthesizer, and yes, it is an arrangement of the Aaron Copland piece, and yes, he loved it too. Quite possibly the single most vicious keyboard driven instrumental tune in rock history.
I saw them in 73 & 74, it was mind numbing, Keith was the Hendrix of the keyboards, attacking his Hammond Organ and had a mobile control with special effects, watch the Cal Jam 74, they were amazing!
Favorite band. You are hitting the radio-friendly songs. One more you haven't done is "C'est la Vie". As much as I love these 'accessible' songs, it just barely begins to scratch the surface of their deep and varied catalog. They are / were (Carl is still with us, thankfully) genius musicians who did every genre and a lot of experimentation with new sounds and contemporary interpretations of classical music. You might want to try "Trilogy" (from "Trilogy"), "Take a Pebble", (from "Emerson, Lake & Palmer"), and the super fun "Pirates" (from "Work Vol. 1).
If you watch this live from California Jam, Greg plays this flawlessly. Never having to look down at the guitar, singing with his amazing voice whilst chewing gum the whole time. Nothing less than A+ in my opinion!
If you haven't done them yet, "From the Beginning" and "Fanfare for the Common Man" should both be on your ELP hit list. And over time that B+ will creep up - it's a song that nags at you to listen to it again.
There is a solo Greg Lake on 12 string guitar live version video of this song from a Cal Jam concert a long time ago, that you have to see! He was a master! Also, one of the few times I have seriously disagreed with your ratings. This is in my opinion about as good as a song gets! "S" tier all the way!
You need to hit ‘Tarkus’ which is probably their best long epic (as well as Karn evil 9) Tarkus is a heavy prog journey of a song, you guys would enjoy it. Underrated band.
Amazing arrangement. Greg had a miraculous voice. They did a few "simple" tunes like this -- gave the listener a nice break from some of their bombast or complexity. This is one of those times you shouldn't try to figure out what the words mean!
Oh the teenage memories…driving around town with my friends, disco music blaring from every car around us, and the sound of ELP flying out of my car windows…full blast….I remember well, their evil stares…those were the good ol’ days…I’m 64 YO now, and “still…they turn me on” 😎
Greg wrote this entirely by himself, it's that timeless gem, gives me goosebumps. This is just my opinion but I'm thinking adding drums or anything else might ruin the vibe of this beauty. Who knows, you guys should try it, I'd love that! I have a friend from high school, he's a guitarist himself and went to every ELP concert performed in California. An absolute loyal fan, he told me his first time seeing ELP was absolutely insane in the best way. It was at the Anaheim Convention Center, across the street from Disneyland. Thanks guys, great as always!
Lake's wonderful acoustic ballad with just a bit of Emerson's bombastic contribution to balance things out. Lots of layers, requires multiple listens. Carl sat this one out, lol.
Growing up in an era where music was so creative yet still expressions of the musician’s humanity was special. It was as both a personal experience synthesizing the layered musicianship and their lyrics. It was also a communal experience as you were drawn to a friend group that had similar or complementary response. Or to a larger peer group that would have perhaps a more varied response, but still one would integrate their different reaction into a broader understanding. Yes, tried and true hit pop or rock songs could be great fun. But songs that reached into my soul or psyche expanded my youthful perspective on the world.
I saw them perform this about 1975 at the WSU stadium in February, surrounded by wheat fields and snow. Cold night for about my Last festival seating concert. Pure coincidence. Songs to try: TANK from "Tarkus", practically all drum. The song we'd bring to the Stereo Component Store to test speakers! Or "Take a Pebble " fairly long, with distinct parts. But just beautiful. Maybe my favorite!
Another cool timeless song from ELP and a request for the late 70s “Driver’s Seat” by Sniff ‘n the Tears (which is short for ‘and” not Sniffing Tears).
@@LyndaHill I just took a look at your channel. You were up to 894 subscribers. Why did you quit? I'm at just 320, and aren't sure why I have that many, lol : )
@Lightmane Well, true confessions here. I had enormous family betrayal and went full blown burnout trying to make my life work. I'm hoping to come back. One day perhaps. 🎉
I always heard this song as him talking about music and specifically performing. On stage and in song he can be anything he wants for the audience, the music, the string, But even though touring and playing gigs isn't not all roses (madness, just doesn't seem to make sense, etc), still... [the audience] turns him on.
DANG…… I love it when Alex just goes on his flights of fancy. Those lyrics you just grabbed out of the either could SO have been a song back in the day. Preferably thec60’s, because if you’re stoned enough they make perfect sense! ✌️😅
@@daphne9124 I totally agree, especially the live version from the Carnegie Hall double album I was just starting them off with shorter pieces. Scherezade is another epic
Did you mean the group Renaissance? Or an ELP song of that name. If the former…..DAMN RIGHT! Annie Haslam…. The most amazing female voice in rock, and too often ignored, not known or underappreciated.
I hear the acoustic guitar in this song, used as a percussion instrument as well as the jangling chords. but yeah, the wah-wah in the background, just before the chorus so cool.
Greg Lake does this live... acoustic, while chewing gum, and it is perfection.
Did. RIP Greg Lake.
My favorite version ❤
My favorite ❤
Oh it's magic!
His playing on the 12 string and the vocals on that version are sheer perfection.
Greg Lake had one of the most beautiful voices in any genre of music. He is sorely missed.
I have always loved this song and used to play it for my wife. Since she passed away two years ago it holds even more meaning for me.
So sorry for your loss.😢
❤️🫶🏻
Well it was my husband that passed but I feel the same.❤
🫂💔
My condolences to you.
Greg Lake's voice...effortless power and clarity. Still...gives me chills.
ELP - a trio of extremely gifted musicians. Even after all these years hearing this song, Greg Lake's voice still gives me a thrill.
Greg Lake doing this solo is amazing too.
Yes, he’s chewing gum, smiling, a glint in his eyes and it’s so awesome
@@Cheshirecat-nx9zn Yes, I love that performance. Alex and Andy should check it out on their own.
Is that version available on Spotify? Can't find it.
@@scottmarleneking6298 The version of Take a Pebble on Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends - Ladies and Gentlemen (I know it's a mouthful) includes Still...You Turn Me On and Lucky Man. That's definitely the best live version on Spotify and ELP's best live album.
Yeah, I love the way he chews gum while singing the song.
Great tune! Thanks, guys! If you haven't yet, 'From the Beginning' is another classic from ELP you should check out. ✌🏻💀
They did From the Beginning, it was their introduction to ELP, good reaction
ELP is good, just remember it’s been over a year since your last YES song!
@@ericanderson8886
They also did the full 29 minute version of Karn Evil 9. I think that may have been testing their boundaries a little bit at the time.
That was their introduction to ELP then they did Karn Evil the whole song and lucky man
@@sirajaxlthe 29-minute version, that's the only way to listen to that song!
OMG I’ve been requesting this song for two years. Greg Lake’s voice is so smooth.
Ahhh, summer nights driving around with my friends playing this album on 8track tape… with QUAD speakers! Bliss
Me too. Eight tracks
😂😂
I had Trilogy on 8 track, when I was 16/17 I would drive round listening to it instead of going to church.
@@215Gallagher tsk! Teenagers, eh?? Hehe…Had to be done.
Brain Salad Surgery is a brilliant album and Karn Evil 9 is a classic part of that album and Pictures at an Exhibition is probably one of the best live albums .E.L.P. are one of the great groups .
Pictures at an Exhibition is one of my favorite albums !!
Karn Evil 9 for sure!
Around the holidays you might want to do I Believe In Father Christmas by them. It's literally like listening to a snowy night.
Agreed. That and Jethro Tull’s “Ring Out Solstice Bells” are on the Xmas playlist.
I Believe in Father Christmas is a solo record by Greg Lake.
Yeah, but it's a rather sad, snowy night.
@@stantheman9072 Christmas is sad.
My favorite Christmas song!
Hey guys! You should check out the live video of him playing this where one man with a acoustic guitar silences a stadium while chewing gum.
Beautiful song. Love Emerson, Lake and Palmer. You should give a listen to 'C'est La Vie'. Gorgeous, ethereal, wonderful song.
This song gives me goosebumps
Every time.
The live version of Greg Lake singing it while chewing gum is really good.
A must see!
From Greg Lake, highly underrated composer, singer, guitarist, and bassist, of King Crimson and ELP. One of my favorite ELP songs, essentially a Greg Lake solo.
Why do you say underrated?
Having been around for his whole career, I don't think he got the recognition he deserved as an individual. Certainly ELP was celebrated as a group.
You mention that you weren’t sure to go next for ELP, so here’s a couple recommendations!
- “C’est la vie” is an absolutely beautiful song if you want something similar to this one. Shows off Greg Lake’s amazing voice and guitar.
- “Trilogy” & “The Endless Enigma” are both great longer songs if you want something a little bit different.
And obviously you two *MUST* hit “Tarkus” at some point. Doesn’t need to be next, or even soon. But it is a true masterpiece!
Love y’all’s channel and all your reactions! ❤
Yes! "C'est la vie" and "Tarkus" for sure.
It has a Medieval vibe on the vocal phrasing and mixed with that arrangement has a sci fi vibe.
but what does it MEAN??
I think it’s like “turn me on” in the old meaning of you inspire me.
@@mustangmikep51 Still... You turn me on.
These guys were so passionate and were creative geniuses. You've got to watch their live performances! Greg's voice was pure magic!
You should hit C'est La vie' and Closer to Believing next for sure! Closer to Believing is a masterpiece and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Pure Poetry.
magnificent songs!
Great reaction video. If you want to see a masterpiece, watch a young Greg lake solo live singing this song.
And chewing gum!!! 😮
Knife Edge from their first album is a definite banger. Starts out relatively low key and then really cranks up.
Absolutely they have to check out Knife Edge.....and Tank!
This is the one they ought to hit next.
And it's based on Czech composer Leos Janacek's "Sinfonietta".
I am soooo lucky that l got to see Greg Lake in a small theater in LA right before he passed away and yes! he played this song along with a ton of King Crimson songs. I'll never forget that night🤘🥰
That ELP is not in the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame tells you all you need to know about the Hall electors.
This song is the jam! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Karn Evil 9 & From the Beginning are fantastic, as well. ✌🏻
ELP are a major part of my life, then and now! Just Take A Pebble, Knife Edge and The Barbarian should be listened to. If you want to do a long piece, Tarkus is a must. Thanks for this reaction, but it is definitely an A+.
I just can't bring myself to listen to Tarkus, that album cover is too ridiculous. It's shallow, I know.
@@brianmiller1077 More like naive. Once you listen to this masterpiece, you will understand the cover art. If you really like ELP, you owe it to yourself to take 18 minutes and absorb it. Thanks for the comment , though👍
My gosh, I haven't heard that song in 40 years and just had a major hot summer day in high school flash back. I teared up.....
Great song- I love these guys! Saw them in '71- the lineup was John Mayall, then Poco finishing with headliners Emerson, Lake & Palmer- what a show!
Because of the silliest line in this song, they recognized how funny it sounded and had a "Someone Get Me a Ladder" tour.
Still drives me nuts.
Silly? Consider that if indeed, "every day a little madder, a little sadder," I believe that would put one in a massive rut - possibly even a hole. And whatever the form, it will get deeper, and deeper, with each passing day. "Someone get me ladder" seems like a fine idea at that point.

Forgot how much I love this song. Saw them in 1977, amazing show
Same here. At Madison Square Garden.
That’s about the time I went. It was in Los Angeles at the Santa Monica Civic.
This is on my permanent playlist. Great song, great voice.
I had the good fortune to see ELP in concert, the complexity of their music goes beyond words, truly awesome!
C’est La Vie is a beautiful song from them
What a blast from the past! Also made me think of Greg Lake's C'EST LA VIE - from ELP's Works, Vol.1. , which he wrote when living in Paris. RIP, Greg.

Not as well as I would've liked but the song doesn't mean anything to them like it does some of us.😔
Take A Pebble....Absolutely needed!!!
I gotta agree “Trilogy” & “The Endless Enigma” are well worth a visit.
Since you're still on this '70s music journey, why not check out one of the most groundbreaking groups to come out of that decade - ROXY MUSIC.
Yes, yes, yes! Roxy Music!!
@@brynleylee889 it needs to happen! 🤩
Roxy music. YES! Thank you. I forgot…
@@Scottfur they are essential to A&A’s musical journey!
Roxy please. Start with “if there is something “ quite a trip.
Yes, One of my favorites my old man has played this the version with lucky man together, for 47 yrs.... rock on yep!!!! Cheers
Greg Lakes Voice is Fantastic!
This album is their peak. Not a bad song on it. Carl built the first electronic drums for the song Toccata. Mind bending.
Good album but you do know that “Trilogy” was the biggest album they released and #1 in my book!
I think you still have not experienced the full power of this armed and fully operational power trio until you have heard the live recording of "Hoedown" from Milan, Italy, 1973. it is about three and a half minutes of pure instrumental fury, featuring Keith Emerson tearing shit up on the Hammond organ and Moog synthesizer, and yes, it is an arrangement of the Aaron Copland piece, and yes, he loved it too.

Brain Salad Surgery... That album cover scared the bejesus out of me when I was little 🤪
HR Giger was the artist. He also helped create the look for the movie Alien and a Deborah Harry solo album cover
the album cover explains EVERYTHING!
I recommend "Knife Edge" next from ELP.
I lived thru they hayday, and somehow missed so much of their music! Damn this song is FIRE!
C'est la vie... :)
See Greg Lake Playing this at California Jam...just him and his 12 string...amazing
Greg Lake a star. Watch his live acoustic performance of this from 70’s. Chewing gum thru whole song. Superstar.
used to play this song for girls in college in the 80s ... they seemed to like it. Thanks for the reaction.
Greg Lake ( also the Lead Vocalist for King Crimson) is one of the Great Tenors in Rock!
You need to hear ELP performing Copeland's Fanfare For the Common Man live in Montreal.
Growing up in an era where music was so creative yet still expressions of the musician’s humanity was special. It was as both a personal experience synthesizing the layered musicianship and their lyrics. It was also a communal experience as you were drawn to a friend group that had similar or complementary response. Or to a larger peer group that would have perhaps a more varied response, but still one would integrate their different reaction into a broader understanding. Yes, tried and true hit pop or rock songs could be great fun. But songs that reached into my soul or psyche expanded my youthful perspective on the world.
Keith Emerson - harpsichord, accordion
Greg Lake - bass, 12-string guitar, electric guitar, vocals
Carl Palmer - tambourine
Brain Salad Surgery and Trilogy are my two favorite albums by ELP. It is a crime they are not in the RnR HOF.
Take A Pebble is one you should really check out! Keith's piano work is nothing short of amazing!
It's a love song to the audience.
Led Zeppelin did The Ocean, ELP did Still...You Turn Me On.
Pirates, by ELP. A long and grateful song. The music is great and a really cool story.
C’est La Vie, Take a Pebble, Tank
pure magic
I'm here..... Forever...

The live version from the California Jam is a must view
Someone get me a ladder! 🎶🎶🎶
And maybe a rhyming dictionary
this one and c'est la vie are two of my favs of their lesser-known songs⚛😀
Another cool timeless song from ELP and a request for the late 70s “Driver’s Seat” by Sniff ‘n the Tears (which is short for ‘and” not Sniffing Tears).
Yeah, they really need to hit this song! It's been suggested over and over; maybe one day!
Good song, great album. This song needs to be played on a quality home stereo to get the full affect...loudly!
So much amazing instrumentation and beautiful vocals and lyrics.. 😊
What is Andy wearing!!! ELP!! Great stuff!!❤️
This was a great song back in the day. Haven't heard in in decades. It brought back a lot of memories.
