Next five in no particular order would be "C'est la Vie," "Still You Turn Me On," "Lucky Man," "Karn-evil 9," and "Fanfare for the Common Man."

      This was ELP's highest-charting single -- which I find mystifying as there were plenty of tracks they laid down that were every bit as easy on the ears as "From the Beginning." All in how it's marketed, I guess. Not enough people at the time got much of a chance to hear this tune unless they were permanently tuned to trendy FM stations. At least now it's getting another look and is better appreciated as a masterpiece.

      I think that Palmer had two gongs. In Prog Rock, nothing succeeds like excess.

    Learned how to play this song back in high school. Such a brilliant composition. Greg Lake is an amazing guitarist, although he played the bass most of the time.
    Keith Emerson (the keyboardist) was pretty 'tame' in this, but he was actually a demon XD he used all sorts of synth tech to (aggresively) make weird sounds but can very delicate with a piano. A couple of my favorite is 'Take a Pebble' and 'Hoedown' (if you want to hear how crazy the keyboardist can be). Cheers :)

Then we moved to New Mexico and the musical journey continued. The 70's were a WHOLE different way to raise up children. Generous vibes everywhere. It was glorious. Books. Art. Dance. Music. Food. People talking to each other civilly with receptive interest yet able to reconcile and have our own opinions and it was always no harm, no foul. Easy to change the subject: "Did you catch the game?" "Bet I can skate faster than you!" "Wanna build a fort? We're gonna need shovels and axes..."

But then, I'm a sucker for keyboards and Keith Emerson was a keyboard genius. I'm just now getting in to a lot of the classical music he wrote. It's simply beautiful. Karl Palmer was not a mere drummer, he was a percussionist. I have come to appreciate Greg Lake more now in my older years than I did way back when.

    If you can handle Yes "Close to the Edge," you can handle Karn Evil 9--Impressions 1,2, and 3 from Brain Salad Surgery album. Beyond epic.

      1st Impression (Part 2) was played to death on the radio, back in the day. It's probably the least interesting section of the suite. The album Brain Salad Surgery is a complete work. It opens with a hymn, then goes into Alberto Ginestra's Toccata. This piece is a bit too much for normal people, but sets up the sense of fear and foreboding that sets up the "carnival of evil," yet to come.

    Oh my Jamel, thank you for this ELP song. Always one of my favorites. Please try Still You Turn Me On Live, C'est La Vie and Take A Pebble. ELP is truly outstanding with Greg Lake's beautiful voice adding so much richness. Thanks for this.

    ELP is one of my favorite prog rock bands.
    Before forming ELP, Greg Lake was the lead singer of another great prog rock band named King Crimson.
    You should listen to some King Crimson songs. My favorites are "21st Century Schizoid Man," "I Talk to the Wind," and "In the Court of the Crimson King."

    Do you remember watching Edgar Winter Group doing "Frankenstein" and him going to a black machine with a bunch of knobs on it to make those futuristic sounds?" That's the kind of synthesizer Keith Emerson was using. I'm pretty sure that's the case. Stay safe friend...be well...

    • @neptune9
      @neptune9 3 года назад +2

      Well, they are both analog synthesizers, but they are not the same. Edgar Winter played a ARP 2600 and Keith Emerson plays a full Moog modular synthesizer.

    I saw ELK in concert in Los Angeles as a teenager. Best concert EVER! Just one example: Out of kmowhere, the piano started rising into the air, and as Emerson continued to play a jazz-fusion number, the piano began to spin end over end, faster and faster. Incredible!!!

    Another is Lucky Man by Emerson Lake and Palmer
    Please give a listen and response to that King Crimson song. I would be interested in your response

    @dannycasson1551 3 года назад +4

    Moog synth, acoustic piano, Hammond organ. Keith Emerson was one of the all time
    greats in history. Tragically, he ended his own life because he couldn’t play anymore.
    Greg Lake wrote these incredible acoustic songs. Those were the ones that got most
    radio-play. The first single off their first album was their biggest hit “Lucky Man.”

    Oh yes sir that was a analogue synthesizer you know when you listen to some early hip-hop you'll hear a lot of analog synthesizer programs usually they use the high register of the frequencies but the key word operative word is analog forget about digital yeah yeah yeah digital is convenient easy-to-use user-friendly analog is the shit the only setback is nowadays those analog synthesizers come at me high price yeah every your head would spin if you found out the cost of some of these old classic synthesizers that's why it's so cool that Keith Emerson gave all his old analog synthesizers to that blind girl who could play all his music her name is Rachel flowers she is absolutely to Prodigy you know even Ray Charles when he was alive he went to see her when she was a little girl give her encouragement he was quite impressed by her talents and I used to check out those videos she did a concert and played one of Keith Emerson's really amazing works that he composed with the whole Orchestra and he did just passed away very recently at that time and while she was playing this really amazing composition of Keith Emerson's she broke down and cried it was a very touching moment alright surfer dude you're the man
