I'm hating myself for only discovering the greatness of Greg Lake after his passing . I'm a musician and was living that generation and EVEN STILL, completely missed it.
John Strauss I was an ELP fan from day 1. Saw them live thrice. Major influence. Part of the golden age of music, which ended many decades ago. I LOVED these guys. As a pro musician, whenever I was asked about vocal influences, GL was always the first word out of my mouth. Needless to say, Greg’s voice deteriorated after 40, which is normal. Now, I look forward to death. Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends.
Same here, I was a fan in the 70's and saw them in concert in '77 then kind of grew off into other kinds of music. Recently, someone was playing ELP on Alexa and I got into them again, only to find out that we had lost Keith and Greg in 2016. Good thing we have the recordings and RUclips!
Such a sweet guy, he always portrayed a humbleness that seems rare in celebrity musicians of his caliber for sure!!! Luv U Greg Lake, RIP beautiful soul 💚💚❌❌💋💋🙏🌞
I first heard Greg Lake's vocals in the amazing King Crimson album, "In the Court of the Crimson King" back in 1970. His vocals were very much a part of the musical brilliance and tone of that album.
It’s great to hear someone in a rock group acknowledge that they could never understand what their music means to the peasants . Greg is lovely. RIP hero
Greg Lake: truly one of the all-time greats, and a fine man as well. He really deserves to be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame TWICE for his work with King Crimson and ELP.
look at Mark Mancina...you lucky man. I remember Long Beach and Momma's place (?) I heard you were involved from the Tour Keyboard Tech. Chillin with the Big Dogs in the studio.
If I wanted to explain the diffence in mentality and the spoken word; between UK and USA. I'd say there was no finer an example; than this. American full of huff and puff + slang English. Greg Lake actually the opposite; and he was supposed to be the 🌟 He was being 🇬🇧 humorous; which the interviewer wasn't attuned to. Plus occasionally Greg is being "self-effacing" For those not familiar: (adjective not claiming attention for oneself; retiring and modest. "his demeanour was self-effacing, gracious, and polite") Probably modern-day Americans would understand that now; as the Internet makes it a smaller world. Best wishes 🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸
i HAD A REAL PROBLEM WITH THEM STICKING HIM ON BASS ALL THE TIME WHEN HE WAS A BRILLIANT GUITARIST......GREG SHOULD HAVE MADE KEITH DO THE BASS PARTS ON KEYS INSTEAD OF THE LEAD PARTS....WHAT A WASTE.
Well too late now. Don't second guess their musical talent. Try to appreciate the group for the genius they were. Two out of three now deceased. So easy to be critical of their playing now years after the group is gone. Their legacy now lives on thru their fans. Be a fan not critic.
Funny no, just like with Ben Orr from the Cars, the male fans mainly iscuss Lake's musical genious, while the ladies in the audience talk about Lake's looks, what a cutie he was with a heart shaped face etc etc. I do hope they are at least a little bit less frivolous when it comes to politics, otherwise I'm not so sure giving women the right to vote was such a giant leap for democracy. Politicians being judged mainly on their picture perfect looks à la Trudeau or JFK, not quite sure if that is the way ahead to run a country smoothly and with vision. Venus and Mars, indeed....
compare this track to their first albums and you can see why they did not get too much further on. Twelve bar blues compared to Tarkus or Trilogy etc, not good

What a smashing man Greg was, talented yet so humble.
A real sweetheart with a powerhouse for voice. Rest in peace, Greg Lake.

Idiot
Same here....I don't know why I wasn't a bigger fan back then.
Better late...than never!

I surely miss him. I still get sad when I listen to Lucky Man. He was such a gentleman. R.I.P. Greg. We will not forget you.
Greg Lake's voice was amazing.

I just discovered KC because I found out Greg Lake sang with them. Powerful music. And, of course, that voice
A true gentleman to see if could help someone he didn't know.
Greg Lake is a wonderful, kind person. thanks for posting.
Amazing 3 guys who didn't realize what impact they would have on rock and roll history. ❤️
It’s great to hear someone in a rock group acknowledge that they could never understand what their music means to the peasants . Greg is lovely. RIP hero

Thanks, AmishCake - great video yet again.
That little head shake at the end kills me!
Is there any more footage of Greg and Keith in the studio
Looks like this one passes the test ;-)

No wonder Adagio Dazzle likes him
Who was the first rock band to play with the symphony?

Not a waste. Your wrong. Greg was a very special musician & human being. He was exceptional. Now he's gone & his music shall & does live on.
Funny no, just like with Ben Orr from the Cars, the male fans mainly iscuss Lake's musical genious, while the ladies in the audience talk about Lake's looks, what a cutie he was with a heart shaped face etc etc. I do hope they are at least a little bit less frivolous when it comes to politics, otherwise I'm not so sure giving women the right to vote was such a giant leap for democracy.

geez what's with the gum guess is like baseball and baccer 4m29s
Many singers will chew gum to keep their mouths from drying up. Common trick of the trade.
compare this track to their first albums and you can see why they did not get too much further on. Twelve bar blues compared to Tarkus or Trilogy etc, not good
Should Dazzlings ne called Blaze Dazzle and Dusk
Man, I miss you.
lmao that jacket
