I've always thought that Greg Lake was so underrated as a vocalist. He was tremendous.
He’s got an incredible voice and is a great acoustic player
Really? When I was a kid we all thought he had a great voice.
@@bigb6046 I always did too. But I never heard him mentioned with the other greats.
@@billclarke117 Your probably right. I thought his stuff from King Crimson was even better than ELP. Blew me away!
Not underrated by those who know. Greg is considered to have been one of the finest all-round singers in contemporary music. Nowadays, under-appreciated.
Another great ELP song similar to this one is called "Still...You Turn Me On" and it is a Must Hear. Another one of their fantastic acoustic guitar songs is "C'est La Vie" and is another Must Hear.
Indeed. Odd that ELP chose not to release them as singles in the US. Both very likely would've been hits; the latter went to no. 1 in France.
Lake does this solo on a 12 string and it's awesome, it's here on YT.
Don't forget Benny the bouncer fun nrockn roll 50s style
In addition to "C'est La Vie", all the Greg Lake solo-ish stuff from Works Vol I is great. I'm particularly fond of "Hallowed Be Thy Name".
Yesss. 'Still...You turn me on' is a must!
Not sure if you guys plan on listening to Christmas songs on the channel...but if you do, Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas" is definitely one of the best and most under-appreciated 'rock' Christmas songs out there.
Yes please!
I'll agree. Reviewing "I Believe in Father Christmas" would be superb in this holiday season. Great song
I like the 1977 ELP version even more so.
ELP also did a pretty good version of the B. Bumble and the Stingers rock version of Nutcracker Suite "Nutrocker"
this song stads outside of Christmas songs...its just a damn good song that happens to be about Christmas...my favorite ELP song
This is my ALLTIME FAVORITE song…. It came out in the summer of 1972 and I was just blown away by the sound of the guitar, the bass, AND the synthesizer, not to mention Greg Lake’s great voice…
@Jerel Flynn
Absolutely! I was 19 when it came out and was completely blown away by the guitar and bass riffs. This song boosted my appreciation for acoustic guitar playing immensely.
Then the synthesizer hits you at the end and takes you away on a surrealistic magic ride. Keith Emerson’s mad genius antics on stage were a sight to behold as well!
Yes, remember What a lucky man he was got most of the air play, but oh man, From the beginning was the song!
Year I got married! Me and mama still love it!
The sound at the end was a moog synthesizer 🎹🔥
You gotta react to next is "Still You Turn Me On" it's my favorite by ELP. But everything they do is great!
That was Keith Emerson on the synthesizer. He was a maniacal genius.
Specifically, a very large Moog Modular synthesizer.
With lots and lots of patch cords.
Takes me back 50 years, blacklight on, headphones plugged in, laid back on the bed ELP on the turntable.
Isn't that just amazing? 50 years!? Wow...I might be getting old...lol.😲
My experience also. And I'm not old...I'm chronologically challenged. 😜
Still doing that today.
Don’t forget the joint and beverage of choice. 😂😂😂
@mathis21 Rick is definitely at the top with Emerson and they were friends. Various polls would put one or the other at #1. According to Emerson's obituary in Keyboard Magazine which launched in 1975 they had him listed at #1 in yearly polls every year until he died. But other polls favored Rick.
Saw them in concert back in the early '70s and they were amazing. One of my favorite bands along with Yes, Pink Floyd, and the Moody Blues.
All top notch groups!🤘
Only the Best for you, Bro!
For you comment "what is that?" It's a Moog Synthesizer. ELP were one of the first bands to effectively use a synthesizer in their music.
ELP’s “Fanfare for the Common Man”, “Stlll you turn me on” and “Cest La Vie” all great songs! ❤️
Not Fanfare. Pirates would be a better choice, it's more digestible. Fanfare is more for the advanced synth lover.
At our local drag strip they play Fanfare for the Common Man as they run top fuel
You guys like storytelling you have to check out pirates.
I forgot about those songs, love them. Thanks for the memories.
@@gregmilgazo4963 Exactly!
They are all tops at their instruments. Keith Emerson is arguably the greatest rock keyboardist ever! If Karn Evil 9 isn’t your style, not to worry, they have so many other great songs to hear with all sorts of different styles. RIP Keith and Greg ❤️
Rick Wakeman....
@@mathis21 ABSOLUTELY!
I would maybe take a second listen to Karn Evil 9, maybe with the lyrics. It’s one of the best.
Blessed to have been able to see both Wakeman and Emerson in concert.
I would disagree. Jon Lord is my pick.
Greg Lake's solo single, "I Believe In Father Christmas" ( original version ) is a favourite, and as it's coming up for Christmas soon, it would be worth a reaction. ❤️
Literally came here to post about this one!!
Yes Please! I don't think they did that one last year
In the charts at Christmas 1975 here in the UK. Always been a favorite of mine.
My most favorite Xmas song of them all!!!
YES.
Thanks!
That is an analog Moog synthesizer. In the Spring of '72 we were getting ready to deploy to Nam and the week before we left I was able to catch three concerts. The first show on tuesday night was Led Zeppelin on their Stairway to Heaven tour, on thursday night it was Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick tour and on sunday night it was ELP with their Brain Salad Surgery tour. ELP was the only band using a synthesizer at that time in their live act, that with their four channel sound system allowed them to create spacial effects with their music. Those spacey sounds at the end of this song seemed to fly around the concert hall.
Well, you asked for another one. so..... "Emerson , Lake & Palmer - Still....You Turn Me On" is yet another classic
Greg Lake was a very underrated guitarist and singer.
I always thought his playing sounded far better on acoustic guitar than on electric.
@@joedecker3900the bass guitar makes him a guitarist
C’est la Vie is one of the most beautiful songs ever made. ELP at their best
Absolutely! It is a Timeless Song that any Generation can connect with on an emotional level. Greg Lake at his very best!
One of the best Prog rock groups of all time. I played the cassette until it broke. I loved this album and the next 3 so much. Man! I would loved to have seen them in concert.
Agree with everything but..they might not know what a ‘cassette’ is.
Magnificent --- is the best word I can find to describe them in concert.
Pink Floyd vibes so lost kind of music so good to have lived back then 😁 Loved them always will✌
For me, this song possesses a magical quality. Simply mesmerizing. Great work on the reaction, Squad. The two of you have truly expanded your respective consciousness for the myriad intricacies of the splendid artists, of that era. Thanks for helping to keep their wonderful gifts relevant.
1st time listening to your reaction video. Great choice Great song.
Greg Lake is playing all the strings in this song including the bass. Youshould hear him solo and unplugged. He is wicked on a 12 string acoustic guitar.
Vocals, 12-string, electric, and bass on this song.
Keith Emerson played a massive modular synthesizer. He would use it to make any number of sounds. Look up pictures of him online to see the incredible setup he would have. All that in addition to the piano and the Hammond organ.
The vocals, all guitars, bass guitar... all 100% Greg Lake. No Auto Tune, Pro Tools, etc. Just pure talent. SO glad I got to see them in 1977.
I’m so jealous ……. 😘
It simply doesn't get much better than this. A tour de force of song writing, arrangement and performance. So glad I was a teenager in the 70's!!!!! Try "Lucky Man" again.....and for a real blaster -- "Trilogy"....
Excellent choice! "Still....You Turn Me On" is another great ELP song!
I just saw "them" last week... it was a heartfelt show. Carl Palmer being the only surviving member had 2 big screens to the left & right of him on stage along with his drum kit center stage. He played along live with the songs from an earlier concert back in the 90's. They mixed it great, and to be playing along side Emerson & Lake once again was emptio al for him as well as us...
Digital can never replace analog and vinyl for reproduction.
RIP Greg you are missed. ❤😢 Greg does a live solo of Still you turn me on and it is fantastic.
He's chewing gum while singing.
Yes and RIP to Keith Emerson too.
@@melissabrecosky6520 Yeah, I saw that video. Astounding performance.
Yes with those beautiful eyes. Singing and playing the guitar and smiling the whole time.
You need to do Still You Turn Me On. One of ELP’s best ever. Also, this time of year, PLEASE do their Christmas song I Believe in Father Christmas!!!
Greg Lake is so good. His playing on this is so clear and it is not an easy song to play on the guitar. I have been playing this song on my guitar nearly every day for almost 50 years now and I still struggle to get it all right. RIP to Greg 'and Keith. We still have Palmer but was so sad to see the bad disappear.
3 musicians that required 3 semi trucks to transport all of their gear to each show.
That would be about 45 years for me. It's a very enjoyable song to play on guitar, almost therapeutic. Lake was very underrated as a musician.
@@magneto7930 Earlier this year I cut through my left little and ring fingers on a band saw. They reattached the bone and tendon and I used this song as my therapy to rebuild strength in my last 2 fingers. Not 100% but probably 95% and I am getting my stretch back to reach down 2 frets with the pinky. So therapy was the perfect word you used.
@@HRConsultant_Jeff oh my...what a terrible thing to experience! I can certainly see where therapeutic would be accurate. Prayers for your continued healing.
ELP is amazing. Again, Keith Emerson was somehow strapped to his piano bench and the piano. For the grand finale, the piano rose off the stage then started rotating/spinning. Keith never missed a beat. A six minute standing "O" followed that!! Now consider King Crimson which Greg Lake was a member of before ELP. King Crimson's " I Talk To The Wind" is immersive. "21st Century Schizoid Man" will demonstrate why many say King Crimson launched prog rock. Just read that Rolling Stone put KC's album "Court of the Crimson King" second right behind Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" as influencing progressive rock. Check them out also. Great thoughtful reaction here, guys. Thanks.
Totally agree on King Crimson. The court of the crimson king is a classic.
When you get to some Christmas music , give Greg Lake's Father Christmas a listen.
It is just Greg on acoustic, bass, elec guitar and his beautiful voice timber. Keith comes in at the end with a synth.keyboard.
I think you'd love ELP's song "Still You Turn Me On". There is a live version with amazing sound from California Jam in 1974. Greg's voice will give you chills, he's stunning.
That is a fantastic performance!
What a lucky man ....
One of my favorites ❣️❣️
✌️♥️🥃 Enjoy your adventures in Music 🎶
One of the great Progressive Rock Groups. Greg Lake was a great song writer and vocalist. Keith Emerson was one of a few who brought Electronic Music into the Rock genre. Unfortunately Greg passed away not that long ago and Keith committed suicide some years ago. What a shame. Great Artists!
You commented, Jay, that "There was so much going on" in the last reaction - ELP was the first really big prog rock band. There is always a lot going on for those bands (notably ELP, Led Zeppelin, and Yes); it's one of the hallmarks of the genre. And the ones you have listened to, in their catalog, are for them very minor instrumentally. Emerson is an incredible keyboardist and most of the sounds are coming from him and his organ and synthesizers. Buckle up and listen to Tarkus sometime. They also use a lot of themes from top classical composers and jazz artists.
You picked a great one here; I’ve been trying to play this song for close to 30 years now. It’s a fabulous, mellow song. Gotta do STILL, YOU TURN ME ON next. It’s also pretty mellow and yet also loaded with sounds. You’ll both love it.
These two young people are hearing something with a real tune, melody, and lyrics. The song is dreamy and puts your mind on a different plane of existence.
Classic 70's. Music that never disappoints!!
Late 70s they played for 2 and a half hours. Quite the beautiful memories for me.
Jay &Amber, You'll love their "Fanfare for the Common Man"!
I told you 2 months ago, "From The Beginning"!!. A perfect song!!!
The long version of "Fanfare" in the stadium for sure!
Yes, live from the Olympic stadium in Montreal
For me, this is college dorm music...my friends and I had much the same looks on our faces the Rob Squad is showing today. Love it.
Keith Emerson was the earliest “master” of playing the Moog Synthesizer that you hear at the end of this song.
Him, Wakeman and Wendy Carlos. Amazing stuff
@@Pianoman999don't forget Tony Banks and Bryan Eno
My favorite from ELP is "C'est la vie".
You need to check out Keith Emerson playing a piano suspended 20 ft and then rotating end over end. He only did this twice because of the injuries he incurred. You can find a recording of this on RUclips. Keith was a master keyboardist and was also very theatrical.
This is the kind of laid-back instrumental work that sends me off into the stars....
Definitely a trio of superb musicians and songwriters. Did progressive rock, folk, rock, classical, etc. Suggest Fanfare for the Common Man, for another change of pace. For another vibe song, with Greg Lake singing again, try Cest LA Vie, you will be able to picture yourself on Paris.
I adored ELP Greg Lake was a musical genius
Please listen to "Waiting for a Star to Fall" from BOY MEETS GIRL.
Nice to see u2 sampling more vintage prog rock!Keith Emerson was one of the worlds finest Keybordists(RIP) and Greg Lake and his unmistakeable fantastic voice and guitar work would be nothing without the incomparable drum work of Carl Palmer...Ty for this guys...now introduce you to something completely different...Bela Fleck and the Fleck Tones...their sound has been labelled as "Blu Bop" based on Fusion, Bluegrass and Jazz...I recommend listening to "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo"as a great instrumental introduction...
Unfortunately Carl Palmer (the drummer) is the only one still alive from this group. He is also the drummer for the supergroup Asia. I saw him in concert in 2019. He did two sets... first he came out and did a bunch of ELP songs with other band members standing in for E & L. Then he did a whole other set with Asia. This at the age of 69 (he is now 72). The man is phenomenal.
Saw them in Nashville for the same tour. Loved it.
Not only is he still absolutely crushing it as a drummer in his 70s, there's never been a day in his career where he didn't look like he could relax after the gig by running a marathon for fun. He is FIT.
That must have been a real treat!
Carl was in the band Atomic Rooster too before ELP. Check them out!
There is a video concert in which Greg replaced the Asia singer for some show dates.
My very first concert ever was Emerson Lake & Palmer 1977. I did not blink the entire show. I was mesmerized. ' Still You Turn Me On ' remains one of my favorite songs of all time.
Flashback to spending my babysitting money on a new album at Sears with no idea what was on it or what you were in for. Spending a whole afternoon on the bedroom floor with my ears wide open. Flipping that vinyl over and over to hear it again. Shaky fingers setting the needle down on your favorite track. New musical love for a lifetime. Sigh. ❤️
This is some of the roots of progressive music. Yes and ELP are both filled with musicians at the top of the heap. Talent dripping from every pore.
Greg Lake…one of the best voices…ever…❤😎
Oh I love this song! One of the first songs I ever learned to play on guitar and sing along. I learned the synth part on my Korg Polysix, an early polyphonic synthesizer (about 1980).
If you liked In the Beginning and ELP in general then I think you'd really love C'est la Vie. Beautiful, haunting song.
Agree. Closer to Believing is another one.
ELP's "Fanfare For The Common Man" by Aaron Copeland. I think you will recognize it.
This song is fricken awesome, a great classic, definitely some head smoking music from the 70’s
My favorite is Brain salad surgery check It out I'll be watching and hoping the song is welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Rocks the house
I feel sooo lucky to have grown up during the BEST music Era ever😊
This band has always been an audiophile's dream. I think best experienced on analog reel-to-reel.
I wish we had bands today that were influenced by theses type of groups. music today can't take you on any trip like this does. Great band 👍 keep it coming RSR✌️
I used to listen to the full albums for the amazing experience.
I love hearing a song that is new to me even though I grew up in this era, wow I absolutely love this song hearing it for the first time
Sublime song. “Lucky Man” is another ELP classic.
ELP is fantastic! "Lucky Man" is my personal favorite, but another one to react to is "Still... You Turn Me On".
"THIS IS ART BELL FROM THE HIIIIGH DESERT AND WELCOME TO COAST TO COAST AM." This is how I discovered this song. Also Amerie also speeded up this track and used it as a sample on one of her tracks from he debut album.
Wow! Haven’t heard them in ages! Thanks ❤great song and guitar!❤
This is one of the most haunting songs I’ve ever known. Listened to it for the first time during the Vietnam war when I did two tours in Asia as a teenager. It always takes me back to that time and place in my life.
It is the number one song of my life.
I knew you'd love this one. Still You Turn Me On is another gem by them.
My favorite E.L.P. tune!, 😃 I'm not sure, but I think Greg Lake uses a Gibson SJ 200 acoustic guitar, 🎸 one of the most beautiful sounding guitars there is. Love when you react to 60's & 70's music, brings back great memories. 🥲 Thank you! Peace! ☮
Such a beautiful expression of true love. Absolute purity with zero pretension.
Back in the 70's when this first came out, getting high as a kite and turning this on opened up a whole new dimension to it.
You guys have got to get into some "I Robot" from The Alan Parsons Project. I think you'll be blown away.
Just one of the most beautiful songs ever written in my opinion. I believe this is a for someone who doubts the reason for their existence on this planet of chaos and lost souls. Of course there is no wrong interpretation of any song or poem or story.
I totally agree... The first time I heard this, I must have played it over and .. over . over over .... gut wrenching.
"Take a Pebble" is also a beautiful song with Greg's beautiful voice and guitar playing, Keith's grand piano and always Carl's precise drumming.
Another good one is " Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends "
That is the track they’ve already heard called Karen Evil 9
I thought you listened to this already. One of my favorite songs of all time. Still You Turn Me On is like this. I love Greg Lake's voice
Wow! I am 66 years old and I got this album when I was 19! It can still definitely hold its own! I haven't thought about this in decades.
Moog Synthesizer melody/keyboard lead at the end, …. If you want another ballad type, Just Take a Pebble from their first album or Still You Turn Me On from the same album as Karn evil nine In order to fully appreciate their more complicated music you really do have to listen through it a number of times first, it is classical music and requires familiarity in order to fully appreciate….. believe me it is more than well worth the effort and time involved.
Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer. Sadly, we lost BOTH Emerson and Lake in 2016, but Palmer is still with us. I think you'd love "Fanfare for the Common Man".
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME !! LOVE E.L.P. SUPER ARTISTIC GROUP .
Ah! Great song! I don’t know anything else by ELP, but this song is perfection. Jay, I think the instrument you are referring to is a Moog synthesizer.
With Christmas looming, you HAVE to review Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas". I start off every Christmas season by listening to that masterpiece...
This song is so peaceful and mellow... Simply beautiful...
I'm not a huge ELP fan, but I have loved THIS song my entire life. ❤️
Never thought that 50 years later I would listen to this song still getting goosebumps. And especially that there would still be kids like you two who appreciate this kind of music. Love your thoughtful comments. Did you have Riders On The Storm by the Doors on your show already? Greetings from the Black Forest!
ELP did many styles, from wildly experimental, to classical, jazz, honky tonk, and beautiful ballads like this one, "Still You Turn Me On", "Lucky Man", and "C'est La Vie". These ballads were their shorter, accessible "radio-friendly" songs. Have patience and you will love all (most?) of their fascinating work. Stick with all the albums before "Love Beach".
For songs, try "Take a Pebble", "Pirates" (the one from Works Vol 1 album - a great, fun story, follow the lyrics), "From the Beginning" "Trilogy", "Fanfare For the Common Man" (live is cool), "The Endless Enigma part 1, Fugue, and part 2", and "Tarkus".
Keith Emerson performs his orchestral "Piano Concerto No. 1" on Works Vol. 1, and yes, they even do a really nice Christmas song "I Believe in Father Christmas", which is another easy listen.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I kept suggesting this song so many times and actually gave up knowing that there are so many comments I figured it was hopeless. Just pull you guys up and you guys floored me. Love you guys!
So mellow and gentle and easy to listen too.
Emerson Lake & Palmer were a great trio! After Keith Emerson died (RIP), Carl Palmer went to the 80's band Asia on drums, (that was a synthesizer Jay), and Asia has some awesome music. You might want to do a deep-dive into "Asia!" (if you haven't already) "Only Time Will Tell," "Sole Survivor," "Without You," so many great songs. When Asia did a tour in Tokyo, Japan at the Budokan Theater, Greg Lake took the place of Asia's lead singer John Wetton. It was so great to see Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer, back together again!! 🙏
I love it when part way through the song, you stop and discuss the way the music is affecting your senses, not knowing what we all do, how amazing the upcoming part is going to be and how it will blow you away... :)
Started perfectly Alan!!!
Greg wrote "Lucky Man" when he was 12 yrs old. He is a fantastic guitarist and his voice is so rich and gorgeous.
One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs ever written.
Also, Emerson, Lake & Palmer were really pioneers in Progressive Rock. The 1970s were beyond amazing for music.
One of the best songs ever. Rock on.
the guitar work is beautiful and that "moog synthisizer" gives it that unique sound.
That's some seriously quick turnaround you had! And here I thought these were pre-taped!
Fantastic song, of course. Great choice. You might try their version of the Aaron Copland classical piece, "Fanfare for the Common Man". Even if you don't listen to classical music, you've heard the Copland original hundreds of times, trust me…
…but you've never heard it like ELP does it. (When ELP split and Carl Palmer was in the supergroup Asia, he did "Fanfare" with them, too.)
