I'm a 69 yr old record producer/ drummer, highly skilled, and an ELP fan. This is the greatest killer copy of this song I have ever heard. Stunning, to say the least. I also am a musical prick. I hope after this gig you guys went out and had a few give each other hugs and told yourselves that was GREAT. Cause it was. What care to detail and respect for the original. WOW, Great. I hope you are all alive and still playing. Great. Be Proud.
This has always been an emotional song for me. Even more so now in the sad absence of both Greg Lake and Keith Emerson, thanks for putting a little shine on this jewel of progressive rock gods ELP and keeping the love alive✌️
Nice cover guys . For me this is one of those songs that can never get old . You guys did a good job . RIP Greg Lake, Keith Emerson, ELP. Greatly missed.
My guess is that 85% of the people at the picnic had never heard this piece. "From the Beginning" is a superb introduction to ELP for anyone under 40 who'd never heard of them.
Two kids on the bench not realizing they are being dosed with an all-time great tune. Right into their bone marrow. Love this, and Doug grinning the entire time.
Greg would of been delighted. Another great job guys. People think this is an easy sound do duplicate because ELP made it look so effortlessly. I'm impressed and I've played for over 50 yrs.
Escucho a ELP desde 1972...,y escuché muchas covers ; pero son duda está es la mejor versión. Excelente y distinguida imitación ; y evocación. ( Thanks !!! )
You guys must live in a magical neighborhood! That was pretty damned near the best cover I've ever heard of "From the Beginning" . Awesome is a term that is too often used and seems to have lost any weight it used to carry, so all I can say is that upon listening to it again, a couple of times, it is the best cover, you guys did a terrific job. More ribs and tater salad for everyone. Thanks.
A few days ago the Neighbourhood Picnic Band appeared on my YT front page. I thought what the hell and ignored it. Then it appeared again so I listened and watched, now I am hooked. Looks like the band only existed for a short spell in 2015. They did great justice to all the music that they played. I have subscribed, but sad that they don't seem to be performing now.
Thanks Ian! Actually, we've been doing this every year since 2006 until 2019. We're hoping to do it again in 2022.

incredible fellas...love this tune and played it with a few cover bands with quality players. I play keyboards (started in mid 70s) and very impressed with Doug Orlando's playing and authentic detail of the patches he is using. I just wish I lived near enough to bring a shit load of bbq chicken or beef kabobs to the next picnic!
That was great ..... great bass too! Loved the synth part. I haven't seen anyone recreate this song to such a high degree. Looked like y'all had some fun too. 😊
No one covers this !!! ...you guys nailed it !!!! Some talented musicians up there ! Great job boys
Yall knocked that one right out of the ballpark, EXCELLENT 😊
One of my favorite ELP , Thanks for a perfect performance of this song !

Thank you George, we are all old friends that do this gig once a year for fun. We all go back 50 years!
Thank you for the kind words!

How in the world does anyone have a conversation during this song! I'd be staring in awe with my mouth open.

She identifies as a woman and is probably an American. Therefore what she wants takes precedent over the wishes of everyone else. @@you166mhz
Great music, great performance, thank you very much!
Nice work guys.
Magnifico
very nice indeed!
One of the greatest songs in rock history. Just as good as the original. IMHO
Very nice & what a voice on the singer.
Nice cover guys . For me this is one of those songs that can never get old . You guys did a good job . RIP Greg Lake, Keith Emerson, ELP. Greatly missed.
Excellent! You don't see too many Emerson Lake and Palmer covers.
You will have to try and find the blind lass who does Keith Emerson !

I think this song got the attention of thr public and launched the career of Emerson, Lahe, and Palmer!!
I love this song, and it's hard to find a bad cover. And you guys did it beautifully!

@@DVSdrums Great! Thank you for your response and the links. Look forward to new uploads from the band as well.
Crazy seeing MAB skulking around in the background!
Im sorry it took so long to find you guys. Nice job. You did a great job from the beginning.
Damn fine job.Superb vocals, guitar, bass,keys and percussion, didn't miss a note!
Best cover of this song I’ve ever heard!!! 💕 beautifully done…
Long live ELP
Thx for a great tribute 😊
61 year old musician, I've seen ELP twice and I play this song too. That was really good!!
OUTSTANDING!
Ditto the earlier "open mic" comment. What talent!
Wow, didn't think it would be this good when I clicked on it, awesome
Great job, guys, bass, acoustic guitar, keyboards percussions just spot-on! Very good solo and excellent vocals!
Just great. I’ve never heard any bands cover this before.
Watching these guys all night. . . waiting for something from "Yes." They cover everything . . . might be coming. But this is tasteful here.
excellent cover!!
THAT was just so very nice fellas. So very well done by not being overdone and your attention to details and dynamics.
Excellent!!!!!! Great job on this fabulous tune boys.
This is fantastic.
Real talent right there.
You guys need to go on tour - I'm serious.
Best rendition I've ever heard.

FOR REAL...VERY FUCKIN GOOD!

I'm going to replay this so I can jam along & thanx SO much... SUBSCRIBED
that sounds great!
Excelente cover
Marvelous, greatings from Brasil.
Absolutely wonderful
Kieth Emerson is smiling down on you 🎹
I discovered Emerson, Lake, and Palmer from my interest in organ music.
It takes a twelve string guitar to play the lead guitar part to this song.
Then along came the MOOG and my musical horizon was expanded exponencially!!!
Brilliant work guys.
That is the closest cover Ive seen so far. Almost there on all the sounds. Good job
Loves me some ELP !!! Thanks guys !
Wow! This guys are good. 👏👏👏
Wow !!!!!!!
The synthesizer notes give the chills. Good job 👏 guys.
