Me too, because when I was 16 my friend offered me free tickets to see them in concert. I didn’t know that I’d like the concert since I didn’t really know a lot of their music. This was in 1974 or ‘75. I was young and stupid, but I always had good taste in music.
I'm 67.. I still almost cry when I see these guys that shaped my life.... They were the foundations of how I view music. They are the classical music that we will listen to in the future: Just as we regard Beethoven, Hadyn, Chopin etc today, these guys will be on every classical playlist in the future. I just wish I could be there to share the joy!
I know how you feel. Sadly I only saw them once on their last tour I believe it was. Only met Greg and Carl. Broke my heart when Keith died. He was one of my few heros.
With the aid and ease of the internet with youtube, wikipedia, google, etc, it's more easy now than ever before in history to see what people have been "missing" in the recorded past. 🙂
@@NOWtheband I agree with you. However, many young people are unaware of the existence of this kind of music and therefore do not know how to start their search.

Carl started playing professionally at age 14, in a large swing Big Band, then I believe a year later was playing in a rock band. He was 18 years old, according to Keith Emmerson, when he joined ELP.
@@jazzmaan707 Carl Palmer was born in 1950, in 1968 he played in The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, in 1969 in Atomic Rooster, which he left in the summer of 1970. He was 20 years old when he joined Emerson and Lake.
@@damirhlobik6488 Thanks. Keith got it wrong then, because he said Carl auditioned for Him and Gregg when Carl was 18 in his video interview. They'll have to correct that. lol,lol,lol...
These guys are having a blast! As a guitarist who's played in bands I recognize what's happening there. They're right in the pocket. They all sort of gelled and hit the "sweet spot", and they don't want it to end. It's like some unseen force has possessed them and for a while they are truly one with each other!

ELP was first and foremost a live band and one of their hallmarks was the ability to set aside the intricate and creative arrangements and simply step up and jam.
@@KittyGrizGriz Yeah, I’ve been playing guitar since the mid 70s. There was a time long ago when guitarists, especially players who were very skilled, were few and far between. I kind of miss those days. If you could play even fairly well people would want to be around you (especially the girls). Not to say it’s a bad thing, but today there’s an experienced guitarist in every group of 6 people. 😂😂
@@coachpete5756 yes opened up for Emerson Lake and Palmer. The only one in yes that was better was Chris squire. Emerson could wipe the floor up with Wakeman and Palmer was Superior to build bruford and Alan White.

They STILL are a force for me!!!!!!!! All you have to do is pic 1 of their spectacular sonic pieces of art (albums) and turn it ALL the way up to the point ALL your neighbors can enjoy it too!!!!
You got duped buying into that shit. So many musicians did as well. Sad times. Lost respect for 90% of my musical heroes who didnt say shit about the world governments' overreach of power
@@fuckcensorship69 don’t get me wrong, bands that speak truth to power are great, but Emerson, Lake, and Palmer were mostly just having fun. Not every band has to make a statement with every piece of music they make.
The legendary British trio.So young,so energetic,so at their peak.Then again,so were all of us.Perhaps we can't relive those days but we still have the music,the memories,& the spirit of those days.Good enough.Hated to lose Keith & Greg.Keep the torch burning,Carl.
Fanfare For The Common Man It's my favorite Emerson, Lake & Palmer song and this 1977 broadcast in Montreal was glorious. Worthy and Fantastic because here you can see that Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Carl Palmer played better than ever 🎹🎸🥁💥💫🎶🎹🎸🥁💥💫🎶🎹🎸🥁💥💫🎶🎹🎸🥁💥💫🎶
When you say orchestrated progressive, d o you mean taking orchestral pieces and making them prog? Or do you mean making prog pieces with an orchestra? For the first possibility, I would 100% agree with you. For the second option, I would argue that the Moody Blues started that in ‘67 with Days of Future Passed. Both are phenomenal bands, and were incredibly innovative.
Steffan Pila R.I.P., Greg Lake. You are the greatest member from KIng Crimson and ELP (Emerson, Lake, and Palmer). God bless you, and may Progressive- Rock live through another entirety.

Remarkable musicians. Incredible control and speed. I am not a fan of rock music but this is unique...very very impressive. They were able to take classical music and to make it known to the world.
Never gets old. Saw them during this tour in 1977. RIP Keith and Greg. We saw Carl a year and a half ago at the Egg in Albany. He is a dynamo on the drum kit! You would never believe he is 70 years young! Must see if and when we can see live music again.
R.I.P Greg Lake. You're absolutely a MONSTER OF ROCK. God bless you. Thanks for these unforgettable and lovely moments of pure music. Nobody will forget your perfomances here in Earth.
When stationed in West Germany in '71, saw ELP live in Frankfurt. one of the best concerts ever! Carl Palmer did a, get this, 20 min drum solo! Keith Emerson and Greg Lake simply left the stage and returned to pick up where they left off. Concert itself was well over 2hrs, close to 3!
I saw that concert while stationed there. Mostly the Tarkus album if I remember correctly. I was pretty baked for the show. a true religious experience!
By the time I saw this tour in Los Angeles the orchestra was gone. They were still smashingly good in concert. Bravo ELP! Ars Longa, Vita Brevis. Their art will last for a very long time. Well done!
Great memories. Keith didn't know it but we flew together in Viet Nam. The pilot I rode with was a real fan and wired an 8-track tape player in our helicopter and we went tear-assin' around listening to ELP and Tarkus on every mission.. R.I.P Keith.
You mean you didn't put on psych war ops and made it loud? No Romeo Foxtrot shall we dance? Bet you really didn't like the smell of napalm in the morning, either.
I was at that show in 1977…the crowd really loved them and then I saw them again in 1998…Dream Theatre, ELP and Deep Purple one after the other…what a show
Chemistry live on stage. What a performance! All three showing what they're made of. I can watch this over and over again, and still be in awe. Outstanding.
So much wonderful music from ELP but this was always a stand-out track. Another amazing musician from my youth has left us, thanks for the music and the memories. RIP Keith Emerson.
I do not know how many people did the same! I heared the Song, bought the LP and listen to this every day when coming from school! The trumpet intro the drums, the organ give so much power . . . . Can not stop listening, more than 40 years . . .ELP is forever!
So seriously they have to perform half naked ... what a stupid gimmick. I think it is a real insult to the classic orchestra to have to support a bunch of show-offs like these guys. I loved ELP and have all their albums, but these drug addled loons really did not have to do this to make good music. Their serious music didn't sell so they have to spice it up. Like most bands then, and all bands now. When bands started to depend more on video than the music to get a hit that is when music quality took a drastic decline.
Keith, Incredible. Lake, and Palmer finish the equation. This clip shows the chemistry of timing, and listening to each other play. Never seen a better demonstration better than this./ R.I.P. Keith. you took us beyond belief, You made it fun to watch.
Saw them just once in the early 90s. RIP Greg and Keith. They were beasts in concert, and the loudest act I ever witnessed! It was an outdoor venue, free tickets, and a weekday so had to leave during the jam to “Fanfare” were parked out by the Main Street about 3-4 blocks away. -still loud out there!
Whether live before a large audience, live before simply camera and sound crews, or in the studio with just the sound crew; Emerson, Lake & Palmer are intensely exciting and freshly inspiring.
They must have sold their little wimpy souls for money and uniformity. Follow the leader mentality driven by greed and homogenization of spirit. Its modern day disco...and we all know that disco sucks.
The first and absolutely one of the best concerts I have ever seen back in 77 at the Olympia Stadium in Detroit with their Works tour. Absolute mind blowing.
Sometime in late 1974, my brother changed my life. First, I smoked pot for the third time but, this time, I got STONED!!! That night I heard Welcome Back My Friends.... by ELP and Yessongs for the first time and I was hooked. I've seen the ELP twice and Yes at least 6 times. Fanfare For The Common Man has always been one of my favourite songs. Thanks for the music.
In .20s could not get into them but my loss always loved Carl but now I've realised what I've missed as a whole band of genius musicians, they have left their mark as originals that pioneered their own style, thankfully I've got most of their great music now, bless Gregg, Keith, and long live Carl.
I proudly admit I'm 64 and I'm crying, rest in peace Greg and Keith.
Me too, because when I was 16 my friend offered me free tickets to see them in concert. I didn’t know that I’d like the concert since I didn’t really know a lot of their music. This was in 1974 or ‘75. I was young and stupid, but I always had good taste in music.
I Still cant Believe that Keith took his own Life,I see Him with the Nice several times and he Looked on Top Of the World in those Days,Unbelievable
I'm 67..

Please watch Carl's solo from Hopewell 2018! Awesome!

Maybe in the same league with Terry Bozio

Looks like there hasn't been any comments on this masterpiece..so here is an unconditional recognition
The most underrated band from the 70’s. They were great in concert and I’m glad I got to see they live.
Not many kid's these day's would like it.......Great Band.......my son ,22 now loved it back in 2001
Works 1 & ll
I can listen to these both, day in and day out, forever.
I do not know how many people did the same! I heared the Song, bought the LP and listen to this every day when coming from school! The trumpet intro the drums, the organ give so much power . . . . Can not stop listening, more than 40 years . . .ELP is forever!
I attended a concert in 1973 at the Philadelphia Spectrum Arena on ELP's Brain Salad Surgery tour. Their progressive music will live on forever.
I was there, too!
Totally brilliant musicianship and they look like they're enjoying it as much as the crowd. R.I.P Keith & Greg. Two more legends gone.

I loved ELP and have all their albums, but these drug addled loons really did not have to do this to make good music. Their serious music didn't sell so they have to spice it up.

Their performance of this Copeland piece opened my ears to orchestrated music when I was sixteen , thank you.
Their "Pictures at an Exhibition" did it for me.
Real music, real musicians real talent.Groove on guys,even past this life. We are still out here listening.
Saw ELP live at UGA 1973 or so. Blown away.
It was back in the day as the carry-over from the 60's was fading.
Is is not just music... It is a fantastic commitment to perfection still to be witnessed again.
I was a teenager and went to their concert in Buffalo NY. They were soooo good…

Strange how Palmer is never mentioned as one of the best drummers of rock
Very true seems to be all about Bonham Moon Baker Paice Carl Palmer was right up there with them for sure
Wish I saw them live. Still feel sad about Keith’s suicide. Poor guy. May he rest in peace
So Much Talent....I think of Keith every day..RIP my friend>
What a super band!!!! Love this guys and miss Greg and Keith
This song never gets old! You can always tell when a band is at their peak. They were at that moment!
they were so spot on during this performance., I could watch it over and over with tears of joy for it's brilliance - amazing.
RIP Greg ... Thanks for the music ...
Sometime in late 1974, my brother changed my life. First, I smoked pot for the third time but, this time, I got STONED!!! That night I heard Welcome Back My Friends.... by ELP and Yessongs for the first time and I was hooked. I've seen the ELP twice and Yes at least 6 times. Fanfare For The Common Man has always been one of my favourite songs. Thanks for the music.
I'm lucky to have your albums. Your music and playing will live on. Vale Keith.
Thank you for the music of my youth. RIP KE X
I saw them in Indianapolis at the Old Market Square Arena on their American tour with the 100 piece Orchestra sponsored by JBL it was incredible
We will keep your music alive, Keith!!
If you look at the third level up at the back of the stadium, you will see me there. lol Superb show!
i don't see you !!!!
Ahhhh, i see u!!!
Suzy Carriere i like your jumper x
In .20s could not get into them but my loss always loved Carl but now I've realised what I've missed as a whole band of genius musicians, they have left their mark as originals that pioneered their own style, thankfully I've got most of their great music now, bless Gregg, Keith, and long live Carl.
ELP, are so awesome & Keith Emerson, such a talent, so sad he departed us, God Bless Keith, RIP!
And Greg
I saw ELP live on the Brain Salad Surgery tour with quadrophonic sound. Brilliant!!
