And this was from their debut album, best debut album of all time
ELP's first 5 LP's are brilliant. You should definitely hit Brain Salad Surgery & Tarkus
I prefer Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery, but agree with the first 5
They ARE ALL BRILLIANT !!!. It is a matter of what you want to hear and mostly i prefer the 1st and BSS. But that does mean I don't like the others.; I just listen to them when I am in that mood.
Five classics in a row. Pictures at an Exhibition and Brain Salad Surgery are particularly potent. Side 1 of Tarkus is groundbreaking.
Okay. Let's do Trilogy, Tarkus, and Brain Salad Surgery. But you then have to add Welcome Back My Friends@@johndrx165
I agree the first 5 are amazing, I like cuts from all of them Brain Salad Surgery is my favorite album
Keith Emerson, the piano player, is mostly self taught. He had some lessons as a kid.
The best rock keyboardist out there, imo
Leon Russell, Al Kooper, Fats Domino
He & Rick Wakeman certainly 👍
Absolutely, and don´t forget Jon Lord, Richard Wright and John Paul Jones when he wasn´t playing bass.
Nicky Hopkins was great too.
Yes so many good underrated keyboard players... but Keith was the best
How Keith Emerson made that sound of pebbles being thrown into water was he actually strumed the piano strings.
And the water drops during Greg’s guitar part was made on the Moog Modular
Pretty sure the water droplet sound is Carl Palmer's percussive work.
Pretty sure it’s the Moog. I heard it recreated by Tom Szakaly on his Modular.
Ah, I thought it was dulcimer.
So many of the greatest works of our time would never see the light of day today, I fear. Nobody has the patience and are willing to put in the effort required to fully appreciate them. 18-20 minute songs just wouldn’t fly in today’s mainstream music. Your comment about “no boundaries” for music of the time was spot on! Keep digging with ELP, you’ve just scratched the surface!
This was ELP’s first album, it came out in 1971.
I was in high school at the time and I’m here to tell you that this record was single handedly responsible for turning just about every member of our school band into stoners.
LOL
Lol!....l love that , " class of 1975"🤟🎶
Correct@@gabrielvanhelsing8214
@@gabrielvanhelsing8214Their self titled first album was released in late 1970 in the U.K, and early 1971 in the U.S. (where I was at that time).
“Tarkus” was released worldwide in the summer of 1971.
Hear, Hear! A lot of serious psychedelics were consumed listening to this album. Meddle too...
Guys....this trio is the best of the best. ELP was beyond progressive. There's really no category for them.
Very easy to get lost in ELP's music. Some find it pretentious or self-indulgent. I think it's next level creative, performed by three of the best "rock" musicians ever.
These guys are amazing musicians. From The Beginning & Still You Turn Me On are must listens that really showcase their musicianship. I've been hoping you'd get to them & more Traffic since you are musicians yourselves.
Yes. And more Traffic, please!
Keith Emerson on keyboard Greg Lake on guitars, Carl palmer on percussion
And Greg Lake on vocals.
YES!!!! Been waiting on you guys to do EL&P!! Greg Lake has the most beautiful voice....you gotta do WORKS VOL 1 & 2
Keith Emerson said (on a vid on here) when writing he always wanted to create an ‘effect.’ Saw them live early gigs can assure you even better live, long peefs. I try to create an effect with my artwork, inspired by Keith. Fan for 50 years.
I appreciate you guys. This is my favorite song of all time.Ii have probably listened to it at least 200 times; but I have never viewed it as the fusing of classical and jazz as much as now.
Greg Lake, the singer/bassist/guitarist, was on King Crimson's 1st album (or 2?) before joining ELP. Try 21st Century Schizoid Man from King Crimson sometime, with Greg Lake on it, you'll like that too. ELP is a deep well. So is King Crimson, probably 40ish year long career, through a lots of adventure and variations.
The intro was played from stroking the strings the a harp from inside of the piano.
No boundaries. So true. Completely missing in today's music.
One of the best ELP songs and one of my all time favorites is From The Beginning. Highly recommend.
Keith Emerson is the piano player. He brought synthesizers into the mainstream.
Keith Emerson was a genius. Rest In Power. I can hear some McCoy Tyner in the jazzy parts
Keith wasn’t classically taught. I believed he got some basic piano lessons as a child and was so naturally talented was invited to play organ at church. The rest is ACTUAL HISTORY. Read his career.
An EPIC performance: Keith Emerson's dazzling melodic themes frolicking over the keyboards like a fast-moving river over the rapids; Greg Lake's majestic vocals, rainbow-in-the-sky bass loops and full-of-sunshine acoustic guitar break; and Carl Palmer's flock-of-birds-on-the-wing flourishes, ruffles, and subtle cannon shots on percussion.
Fabulous group. Keith Emerson was a keyboard genius. Hit their take on Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man". Emerson was classically trained, and they recorded a number of pieces rooted in classical. "Hoedown" would be another good one. "Lucky Man" was their biggest radio hit. Finding ELP is like finding Steely Dan or the Dead. So much good music.
Lucky Man was their radio hit which amazes me as it was written by Greg when he was twelve years old! They needed another song for the album. Greg mentioned that he had that song so Keith showed up and added some synth and they put it on the album. It's my least favorite of all their songs, but go figure it ends up being a hit!
Guys - Please, more ELP, you will be amazed!! Their music is timeless! I've been listening to ELP since this album came out in '71 during my senior year in high school. Saw their Brain Salad Surgery tour in 1973. Among all the other live concerts I've seen since then (some 600+ including Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant to name a few), ELP was magnificent, simply the best! Looking forward to viewing your ELP journey!! With Peace and Love to all! (Michael)
At the beginning, Keith is strumming the piano strings.
The jazzy section sounds kinda like Keith Jarrett to me.
Now you need to hear Keith Emerson playing synthesizer.
should a seen them .live...... I did... so feakin lucky.....in 73 Wichita Kansas...
Unlike most rock bands with roots in the blues, Emerson (keyboards) and Lake (guitar and bass) were rock musicians rooted in the European musical tradition (what we call classical music). Emerson was also passionate about jazz and had a musical vision ahead of his time. Lake also had roots in English folk. For his part, Palmer (drums and percussion) is very versatile, rock, touches of jazz and classical music.
This song, more than any other, shows me that The Nice was just a dress rehearsal for ELP. This is what The Nice was always missing: brilliant production values, a splendid singing voice, and wonderful original songwriting -- all 3 of those things provided by Greg Lake.
Watch their live concert videos, amazing !!
Keith Emerson was a piano genius. He’s playing inside the piano at the beginning. ❤
Love a great pianist. So many. Keith might be the best of them all.
Guys, this is how it was in the 1970s. One minute you’re doing Progressive with Emerson Lake and Palmer, then Skynyrd hits you upside the head, then you crank out some Black Sabbath and you round it out with some Beatles. We had so much good music coming at us we didn’t know what to do. we just thought that’s the way it is but boy did things change.
WELL DONE IN CATCHING UP WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN MISSING IN YOUR LIVES ,
NOW IF YOU WANT TO HERE THEIR MUSIC EVEN BETTER,
PLAY THEIR MUSIC IN THE DARK WITH NO LIGHTS ANY WERE FOR A EVEN BETTER SOUND
Keith Emerson, the keyboardist was not classical trained. He took piano lessons starting at the age of 11 till the age of 18 from three old ladies that lived in the town he lived in. The lessons taught him to read music. His last piano teacher introduced him to classical composers, like Bach and Beethoven. Because he could read music, he was able to play classical music by reading the sheet music. However, from the very beginning, before beginning lessons, Keith Emerson's interest was in Jazz music and especially in improvisation by the pianist.
3 incredible musicians. They were a marvel to watch live.
Pictures at an Exhibition is a live album by English progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in November 1971 on Island Records. It features the group's rock adaptation of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky.
Carl Palmer still tours with ELP. I saw them Nov 2022. I was 10-11 when I first heard this, still got a copy on CD, 50+ yrs later.
When I was in sixth grade, we were assigned to find a section of a poem to submit to the class to analyze...I brought in the "Wear sadness on your shoulders like a worn-out overcoat/in pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hopes" portion of this. I had been listening to this album a lot and was fascinated by it. I got an A...Heh...There's a pretty cool clip of Keith Emerson playing a piano duet with Oscar Peterson ruclips.net/video/ZvQIobg0BwU/видео.html
For my sixth grade poetry book I included both “21st Century Schizoid Man” and “Epitaph” from King Crimson’s debut (also featuring Greg Lake on bass and vocals). It was a while ago, but I think I got am A, too.
The Barbarian was first song on album will blow you away
I remember singer Greg Lake saying he was going for a Nina Simone vibe in his vocal part on this one.
This is what true musicians sound like. ELP was head and shoulders above every other group... and they knew it and showed it. This isn't classic rock it's classical rock
Masterful Masterpiece .
Was routine and expected from this all timer Trio .
Keith strumming the strings inside a grand piano. My fisrt concert in 1974. Epic!
Super choice boys bought this in 1970, still at high school. try Knife Edge next and one day please give Renaissance a isten too with Annie Haslam's incredible voice.
Masterpiece.
He played the hell out of a Hammond B3 literally he did and was known to tear them up ..Bobby Whitlock would not even loan his B 3 when Emerson asked if he could borrow his .
One of my favorite keyboardists. Got to see them live, there's a tune where Keith starts throwing his piano around and plays it upside down while stabbing it with a knife. I think it's on youtube, can't remember which tune. They're all top shelf musicians!
Keith Emerson from The Nice was the keyboardist, Greg Lake from King Crimson on bass, guitars, and voice, and Carl Palmer (not sure where he was before) on drums. All virtuosos. They can do classical, rock, jazz, folk and everything in between. Many of their themes are taken from classical pieces and expanded upon. Listen to this entire album, it was a revelation when it was first released. For more of the classical, listen to their variations on Moussorgski's Pictures from an Exhibition, a live album.
Carl was in "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown" and "Atomic Rooster".
I've never heard this song before. How lovely to close my eyes and lean back to some relaxing good music.
The musical genius behind the ivory keys is Keith Emerson. Great band, there concert performance was epic. And the were from the UK.
Fastest drummer I have ever seen and the Best keyboard player ever!
Carl's hands are as fast as Buddy's.
Thank you so much for doing ELP! I really enjoyed this reaction! I really hope you will re-visit this band! You will always be surprised! Looking forward to seeing your reactions to more of their music!! They are probably the most avant garde of all the prog bands. Very experimental. Tarkus and Trilogy you will hear various genres within those songs.
Keith Emerson - piano and keyboards, Greg Lake - vocals, bass guitar, electric and acoustic guitar, Carl Palmer - drums and percussion
Emerson's piano work is a huge part of this, but very much (like the first one you did) a Greg Lake tour de force. Greg on vocals, bass, guitars, and autoharp.
Goosebump starting @10:30, then 10:50
Delicate complexity of this one is sooo good.
I absolutely love that you guys are getting back to Emerson Lake & Palmer! They are so dang talented and Keith Emerson is far and away the best keyboard player I have ever seen. I was fortunate to see them live 37 times and they were some of the best concerts of my life. Carl Palmer is an amazing drummer as well. I hope you will continue down the rabbit hole and do reactions to Karn Evil 9, Fanfare for the Common Man, and Knife Edge just to name a few classics. Thanks for getting back to ELP!
@69fogdog
A most prolific multi-instrumentalist who performs, records, mixes & masters everything he does, canadian Antoine Baril will blow anyone's mind with some of the most hard to emulate music from some of the most acclaimed bands. To hear and see his performances, just search RUclips separately for Antoine Baril - One Man ELP (with Keith Emerson's personal Keyboards), Antoine Baril - One Man Genesis, Antoine Baril - One Man Rush, Antoine Baril - One Man Yes (Both Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin contacted Antoine telling him how impressed they were after seeing his performance). This guy is SPECIAL (OUT OF THIS WORLD). Take the time to watch other performances he does with his young daughter and son. So GD sweet!
I love that Emerson sneaks in a Bach invention during the solo.
Now you are ready for King Crimson Court of the crimson King and Yes Close to the edge. and Yes
I was so lucky to have seen Greg Lake before he passed and that's all he played was King Crimson, I was beside myself 🥴🤟🎶
Scott Walker vibes here. "It's Raining Today." Then Emerson takes it to another dimension. The dude is a beast on keys.
this track is dripping with quality... :)
Saw them live twice. They were amazing. Their triple live album set Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends, Ladies and Gentlemen, Emerson Lake and Palmer is a classic. Carl Palmer's drum solo will blow your mind.
Bravo, great ELP from their incredible debut album, one of their best epics. For another, different epic, try their amazing Tarkus suite, it was the title of that album and took up one side. It is prog rock on the level of Yes and King Crimson for me. He features a synth on that one and has more rock in it than this classical/jazz hybrid of a Masterpiece. Greg Lake and Carl Palmer also really shine. Check it out and enjoy! 🎵🎹🎤🎸🎶
I went to an outdoor concert in 1970 to see Edgar Winter. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer were unknown. Their performances blew my mind. Keith Emerson was surrounded by keyboards and synthesizers. First time I ever saw or heard a synthesizer that I know of. How Keith Emerson can play 2 melodies at once is beyond me.
So before its time. Most of my life .
You gotta see kids react to this. Under 12. Tell them its called take a pebble. They play, listen, it was amazing to see what caught them they`d stop and dance. My own kods and daycare. I gave them early love of music! Cheers love seeing you experience it!
I had the privilege of seeing them on the Brain Salad Surgery tour.
Highschool favorite of the ladies.
I've been hoping you guys would get to them
Unbelievable trio
Gregg lake has an amazing voice
Keith Emerson..keyboards previously from the Nice
Gregg lake..vocals,bass,guitars...previously from King Crimson
Carl palmer..drums,percussion..previously from The Crazy world of Arthur Brown
ELP, King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, The Moody Blues. These are the early cornerstones of Prog rock. Carl Palmer on drums, Keith Emerson on keys and Greg Lake on vocals and bass. Their live performances are legendary, toggling back and forth between classical, jazz, country, rock. A three man band like no other. You should do a dive on these guys just as you have done on Steely Dan and Zep. The mastery of their craft will amaze you.
The Kings of Prog Rock
All 3 are underrated , Carl Palmer is one of the very best drummers, Kieth Emerson one of these very best keyboardists , the vocals , acoustic/ electric guitar, bass playing of Greg Lake is amazing !
A prog jazz masterpiece. Just like Dave Brubeck ten years before!
From The Beginning on good
headphones is close to being in a euphoric state.
Keith Emerson Classically trained , took up Jazz organ when he he was 14. He was a leader with the Moog Synthesizer. and had an original 1968 Moog with the old fashioned tech of tubes and wires. He and Greg also wrote a lot of their own music and were tapped to write music for moves (Harry Potter is one) and video Games (Iron Man). You will have google a list.
The album that changed my life, musically. ELP immediately became my favorite group. And that never changed.
Keith Emerson is one of the great progressive-rock keyboardists. Actually, each of these guys were at the top of their game: Greg Lake on vocals, bass, and guitar, and Carl Palmer on drums and percussion. ELP are among the best progressive-rock bands ever. Their first five albums showcase brilliant songwriting and musicianship, while their next two were more of a patchwork, and after that, I admit, I don't care for much of their output. But at all stages of their career, early and late, they killed it playing material from those first five albums.
So many different influences all in one great track! Keith Emerson really was incredible. One of the best things about the UK musicians of the 1960s and 70s was that they were raised on a variety of styles and it all became a part of their distinct sound.
Of all the songs from ELP, this one is so reminiscent of singer Greg Lake's output with his previous band, King Crimson. KC's first album, In The Court of the Crimson King, is still considered to be one of the greatest debut albums from any band in the Rock era.
Have you guys reacted to ELP’s In the Beginning? If not, you must. It’s an excellent song.
I agree!!
Three amazing musicians made some great classic prog albums, I've been listening to them since the early 70s.
For whatever reason, music in the western world peaked in the early 1970s, and everyone was playing at the top of their heads.
If you liked Keith on piano wait till you hear him on organ. The harp sound in the beginning is him strumming the strings of the piano. Likewise there are many other experimental sounds come out of other keyboard and some great early Moog synthesizer work. They can rock too. Palmer is still drumming, but unfortunately we lost the other two.
WITH ELP YOU HAVE THREE OF THE BEST AT THEIR INSTRUMENT IN ONE BAND!!
KEITH EMERSON WAS A CLASSICALLY TRAINED PIANIST AND COULD PLAY ANYTHING ON THE KEYBOARDS!!
CARL PALMER WAS AND STILL IS A DRUMMER THAT EVEN BUDDY RICH SAID HE WAS ONE OF THE FASTEST THAT HE'D EVER SEEN!!!
AND THEN GREG LAKE EXCELLENT GUITARIST AND SMOOTH AS SATIN VOICE!!!
I ONCE LEFT A LIVE ALLMAN BROTHERS CONCERT SO THAT I COULD GET HOME IN TIME TO SEE ELP APPEARING ON TELEVISION ON AN EPISODE OF "IN CONCERT"! THAT'S HOW MUCH OF A FAN I WAS OF ELP!!!❤
This is my shit right here.. Been listening to this and Brain Salad Surgery on vinyl since I was little
My favorite E, L &P song! Thanks...
Their self-titled debut was not an introduction so much as a kind of coronation: We are geniuses, hear us roar! The ideas and styles crammed into these six songs are at once staggering and overpowering, yet they manage to pull it off so that it never seems superfluous or overwrought. Adventurous, audacious, and, yes, at times pretentious, ELP threw down a gauntlet and, at their best, produced works that still sound miles ahead, in terms of musical proficiency, conception, and execution, of what just about any other rock band is capable of achieving. - PopMatters
The individual play of each musician (showing out) is actually one of the defining factors in determining whether a piece of music is considered Progressive or not.
Phenomenal piece of art
That beginning sound is Emerson strumming the strings of the Grand Piano while holding down the keys just enough to mute the strings...so in doing that he is thinking of the chord inside out(?). In other words the strings that sound are the ones he leaves free. If you are ever near a Grand try it. I witnessed this ELP tour. I wish I could remember it a bit better..LOL, But as they say....If you remember the 60's 70's then you weren't really there.😜😎
"Pirates" is magnificent - lyrics and melody. ELP is so good!
Definitely check out “ From the Beginning” . Love the channel
Saw them at OlympicStadium in Montreal with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra,along with 77,000 fans
Saw them in '77. An unforgettable experience!
This did this live in their first usa tour..beautiful
Tree great musicians from tree incredible bands King Crimson Greg Lake , Keit Emerson from The Nice and Carl Palmer from Atomic Rooster
My favorite group of all time!
Thanks for doing ELP. Keep up the excellent work fellas!! It is much appreciated 🙏 ❤
This album is phenomenal.
Never cared much for the long guitar interlude in this piece. Lake's singing and Emerson's piano are quite enough to make it brilliant. Their first LP is hands down their best, with Brain Salad Surgery a close second.
This album has more 'feel' and less bombast compared to some later LPs. This song is genius in the way it evokes half-forgotten memories of a love that has gone.
Guys before you listen to Karn Evil 9 second impression part 2 you have to listen to Karn Evil 9 first impression part 1
Still remember the first time I listened to this album. ELP!
