What has always amazed me is that it doesn’t matter the country of origin for whatever singer, when they sing in English their accent completely disappears.
Love your comment. Seen Yes 3 times in the 70’s . Just listened to the song “Soon” by Yes . Yeah Jon Anderson always sang fantastic live . Seen Moody Blues in the early 80’s . Awesome show . Never ELP however think Lake has the strongest voice out of the 3 . Steve Perry amazing as well live . I only judge singers by how they sang live . Robert Plant I wasn’t impressed. Always said he had a cold 😮
@@Theresa939So jealous of you… 😊 to have the age that you could see them. I have, already years ago, found this type of music, it is so incredibly better than the songs that are produced nowadays, and I think nowadays music just comes from a factory. So it is very nice to hear al this ‘old’ music which even in these times is still very much advanced.
Let's face it kids, we may well NEVER see another trio like this, making such fine, lyrical composed music. Such talent ... it was a great time to be alive and to be able to see these guys do this live
I always loved these guys. Their music just attracted me like a magnet. I know we’ll never see their like again. It’s so cool to watch them in this video performing with such an ease and a delight in their camaraderie as they relate to their audience. I’m just grateful the music still survives and I’ll listen to it forever.
Take a pebble from their first album is just a gorgeous song. That whole album is fantastic. Start to finish. Talk about an accomplishment for three young guys to come up with such sophisticated music.
There is no band that I love watching more than ELP and this brilliant performance confirms that. I love the way they went from the incredible precision that was their hallmark to a little interlude of frivolity and then seamlessly back to their genius as musicians. Their first album was the first album I ever bought and this is one of my favourite songs of all time. I was fortunate enough to see them perform at the Isle of Wight Pop Festival in 1970, the year they formed. Greg Lake's pure voice will always be my favourite voice of all time. They set the bar so high and will never be equalled.
When else in history were kids so sophisticated that they could appreciate music of this complexity? That will certainly never occur again - not in our devolving culture. If ELP came out today they would be relegated to the darkest corners of Spotify, to make room for all the soulless autotuned swill from today's posers....
I bought their first album in 1971 when I was 15. I'm 67 now and I still have the same album on that iconic island label in it's powder blue inner sleeve. I still play it and remember when I was playing it as a kid sat around with my mates. British prog rock was untouchable then as it is now. This trio were the best of them all. Such talent. Emerson in his days with Nice. Lake with early Crimson and Palmer with Rooster and Asia - I play all of this material too. Fantastic memories. Phil Tennant. Belper, Derbyshire.
One of my favorite prog rock band ever, ! E , L & P, the three of them were masters, I am 66 yes old now, from Managua , Nicaragua, and began to listen to them at the Age of 15 years too !
MUZIK will NEVER get better than this... and will NEVER return this. I would lay on the basement carpet and listen to "Brain Salad Surgery OVER and OVER again!!! I want the "PEBBLE" back!!
@@wildrosecece Obviously not underrated by those who possessed the necessary discernment to appreciate such fine musicians, but how many people were members of that select club ?
Not “way ahead of their time ”, but absolutely right on time in their time. From 1969-1981 was the greatest musical time in Rock history. The greatest musicians, writers, singers and players. Argue all you want. But that’s the way history will record these years.
Rock, jazz, folk, baroque, classical, blues, prog and bit of country...all rolled up into the juggernaut that was Emerson Lake and Palmer. So grateful I got to see them in '77. There will never be another band like this. If you get the chance, don't miss Carl Palmer. His guitar players play proper homage to Keith and Greg. Carl is still the best drummer alive.
1st ELP album was a breakthrough. Nobody played music like that at that time. A mix of classical, jazz, soft and hard rock (sometimes as heavy as metal - before metal was even invented) . I believe The Barbarian and Knife-Edge were precursors of future stoner-doom metal
to critisize is very easy, the combination of guitar, piano/organ and drums is not easy at all, making it work is amazing! Making it sound great is a matter of great skills.
@RandomPerson56789 could be he was referring to technique?Dunno. I'm sure my piano technique is shoddy. @Marc René Yvon What even is creativity? I remember attending art classes and my teachers would insist on giving us nebulous and vague criteria that we were expected to interpret and define our own way, but of course our work didn't stand up to the undefined criteria, so they got to judge everything subjectively while claiming there was some objective standard of judgment. That's when i quit pursuing the "artsy" end of the arts and pursued more technically grounded art courses. @Frans Schmitz Amen.
@@Cinemagoer_64 And I love when he stroked those strings in such songs as In The Beginning and Still....You Turn me On. I always like the electric guitar screaming outs its music but when I saw Greg on RUclips chewing gum and singing Still You Turn me Own and Lucky Man, I really thought that plucking those strings was music to my ears. I surely hope he left his mark, people still praise him and miss him. I get melancholy thinking of him. Damn cancer.
Carl had already been in Crazy World of Arthur Brown band, which sounded like a feat in itself b/c AB was known for eccentric stunts while performing! So all 3 of these guys were somewhat seasoned performers by this time (and their still somewhat young ages)!
you should google some Crazy World of Arthur Brown videos...my youngest son did & even he (at age 35) was amazed at some of the stunts AB pulled. And you will see more of Carl's drumming! Just saw him in March 2018 and so incredibly talented and still drumming his b**t off!!! Drums like a man half his age!
Greg Lake’s vocal precision and beautiful baritone has always impressed me, and yes Emerson was a genius. I love Lake’s voice and the great guitar and bass doesn’t hurt. Miss those talented blokes but time moves on.
Can't put into words how much I love these three geniuses. And how sad I am that Keith and Greg are no longer with us. There are people who should be immortal because we need them with us so badly and forever, generation after generation. Their music, their tremendous skills and what they were like as people has impacted our lives, they have gifted us so richly with their immense quality. They were gentlemen. Carl still shows us how great he is. Greg has proven it time and again and so has Keith. I need my daily dose of ELP. It keeps me from being satisfied with less and lowering my expectations of my own talents. I sincerely wish that future generations will continue to come across the musical works of these three great masters. This music will never be old and outdated. Greg's voice is so distinctive and wonderful. I have never heard a more melodious male voice.
I think Greg Lake has one of The finest voices. I could listen to him sing all day.. I cannot resist. I have to have a Lake song in the morning. I so miss him. RIP Greg Lake
While I agree, and would vote the same, if someone else said Rush I wouldn't say they were wrong. "Best implies one answer, but this has multiple answers that are hard to argue against.
i have to say they are by far one of the greatest bands of all time, if not the very greatest. their combined musicianship and artistry made for many of the greatest songs ever written. rest in peace keith and greg, the world is a lesser place without you both. this is truly incredible beyond measure and i feel eternally grateful to be able to hear it for myself. no words can describe it, but the emotions felt whilst listening to elp speak louder than words ever could.
@@gertnood Oh, G O D !!!! After all these years and years and YEARS, and I am bawling my eyes out from the masterful talent of these three... and damned grateful for having got to seen them LIVE. GANDALF SHAKUR: "... packed into a SINGLE TRACK!" Oh, man!!! O U T S T A N D I N G L Y * P E R F E C T !!!! How could I have forgotten JUST how fantastic?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
The 1st time I heard Greg Lake was on the King Crimson debut album, "In The Court Of The Crimson King" and when I heard Epitaph it gave me chills. I've heard other singers try to sing it and it just doesn't work. Only Greg Lake could sing that song. The restraint and power he had was simply incredible. And that vocal quality he possessed was unmatched.
We saw Crimson in Wichita, Kansas in the summer of 74? 75? Somewhere in there sometime. Gentle Giant opened for them and they were great! They stomped around the stage like...well...musicians on a mission. They played most of their stuff off of the 'Three Friends' album. And it was great! They had their shit together! Never was I able to see ELP.
@@jimcramer5125 You are so lucky! I wish I had had the chance to see KC. Although I did get to see Gentle Giant live in 1976. I still listen to all of that great prog rock today. Nothing beats the 1975 live version of Aquatarkus on full speakers driving through the country side. Plus all the rest! Stay well!
I'm back for another listen to this masterpiece. Greg Lake's voice was in it's prime and so was the work of Keith and Carl. I was fortunate enough to see them at the Cal Jam concert with a bunch of other heavy weight groups of that time. And I was close enough to see them clearly. This is historic footage of one of Prog Rocks greatest bands. RIP Greg and Keith.
This is SO COOL, and in November 1970 I turned 20 years-old! TAKE A PEBBLE is perhaps my #1 EL&P song, and they are STILL my #9 All-Time Band here in 2023!!! 🎹🎵💖💖💖
one day in 1975, I was 9 years old, with my father at the record store: "Hey sir, I would like to listen to something similar to the soundtrack of "profondo rosso" (Italian film by Dario Argento). The sir took "Pictures at an exhibition" by ELP: my life changed forever
Listening to Take a Pebble on NY radio (probably WNEW) during a sleep out in a tent pitched in my mate's backyard. What is this grand sound coming from the tiny speaker?! Buckle up, you're going on a musical journey.
I did too, at age 17. My boyfriend introduced me to ELP. The relationship didn't last, but my love for the music did, to this day. I'm a keyboardist myself and Keith Emerson was/is one of my all time idols. So sad that he passed. I doubt that there will ever be another band like ELP. They were in a class by themselves.
@@Carol120454 I agree! I am glad to hear that you are a musician. I am a singer/songwriter with two channels on RUclips. I wouldn't be one today if it was not for groups like ELP. There is nothing better than inspired musicianship. I am sure you are a wonderful keyboard player. All the best to you!
Think about how fortunate we are to have all of our old favorites not just recorded in their own voices and playing the music they wrote themselves (unlike previous generations), but also on film/video so we can not only hear them, but see them whenever we want. If they knew then what we know now, no one would have ever played a concert without a film crew recording it, and a sound crew recording it for posterity.
Hearing this back in high school, early 70S was a pivotal moment in my life. 3 min. pop songs on am radio just were not going to cut it any more........
Кино
This is what I and my friends were listening to at age 16. Compare this to what 16 year-olds are listening to today.
I listen on an 8-track. 😂
No one ever had a better voice than Greg Lake! What a band!
It can't be compared. How can one compare the sun to a light bulb?
This is what the smart 16 year olds were listening to in the 70's...most people didn't get it.
@@ProgFanification I couldn't stop listening!! It took me to a beautiful world ONLY I had the key 🗝 to.
Greg had the most incredible voice.
The best ever!
Quite a remarkable voice: If I'm not wrong he was the lead vocal in King Crimson..... 😊😊😊😊😊
I think Greg is especially lively in this live performance.
I agree
What has always amazed me is that it doesn’t matter the country of origin for whatever singer, when they sing in English their accent completely disappears.
Greg Lake (ELP), Justin Hayward (Moody Blues), and Jon Anderson (Yes) are the voices of the sound track of my life.
Don't forget Annie Haslam (Renaissance), she belongs in the list from that era.
Love your comment. Seen Yes 3 times in the 70’s . Just listened to the song “Soon” by Yes . Yeah Jon Anderson always sang fantastic live . Seen Moody Blues in the early 80’s . Awesome show .

Perfection Greg Lake R.I.P was the best singer ever. A present from god..
agree, "best singer ever"
Absolutely agree...gorgeous voice...
Damnit, just damnit. They did not get their due. Underrated and overshadowed, but they were untouchable.
The one and THE ONLY ELP
They paid super Tax, so not that undervalued.
40 million albums sold. They did okay.
When you have three virtuosos, what can you say , and Greg Lake touches hearts, there are no words .
Three guys coming from another galaxy.

Greg had the most smooth/powerfull voice of all times
May of 2024 listening to this AMAZING trio. Still love them.❤❤❤
This group was epic and kinda underrated. They were truly original and way ahead of their time.
Not underrated those that loved them, really did.
@@wildrosecece

Here I sit with my blue tooth ear buds, the wife is watching Anthony bordane. I'm listening to the finest music ever put together. Wonderful.
Rest in peace to the both of them. Anthony Bourdain was an amazing artist, also.. They are laughing together in heaven, now. I believe it!

That is because John Bonham is dead
Toronto 1979..absolutely incredible..
Emerson, Lake and Palmer was a one off we will never see talent like that again on this planet!
My piano teacher told me Emerson was no good. (strictly classical teacher) Needless to say, I quit taking lessons with him.
A friend of mine at the time told me about the same words. "Fast but non-creative". Aaaah, pardon me Bob ? We never spoke again.
One of Michael Jordan's HS coaches told him he was OK, but he'd better forget about basketball and get a job. So much for "experts".

Yes indeed....yes indeed.
The best. 🕯️
What's truly amazing is Keith was 26 here, Greg was 23 and Carl was freakin 20.
What a singer Greg Lake was!
No back-up singers or dancers taking up space. Just raw talent and professionalism.
Keith Emerson, 25, Greg Lake, 22, Carl Palmer 21. The musicianship. The Ambition.
And for Greg and Keith, it was the *second* successful band for each of them!

A rare instance when the live recording is better than the studio version. Greg's voice is so multi-dimensional it's the only way I can describe it
They always sounded way better live. Keith was an animal, and Greg brought the calm and grace.
And the beat goes on
OUTSTANDING! What a trio. And I love Keith Emerson playing piano. Greg Lake is one of my favorite voices ever, and Carl Palmer is a fantastic drummer.
Hence the moniker “Supergroup”. And by GOD were they ever

Imagine if this raw talent were unleashed today!
Wow, every woman in the world must have been after Greg Lake. I surely would have.
Ya, my girlfriend at the time thought Greg Lake was pretty hot. Fortunately, I had a resemblance to him.
Too complicated 😪 drama, just have baby's..been able to h Ave children..WHO...babaohriley
You can't possibly see and here this and claim it's not AMAZING.🎼🎹🎶
All the 3s are Genius.
I'm almost 57 and this makes me cry, I am extremely nostalgic and I can't watch this
Greg Lake's acoustic folk guitar part was pure happiness I couldn't help but smile and laugh
What is Greg Lake's acoustic?
ELP The Show That Never Ends 🎹
Hands down the best trio in rock history

That's some pretty amazing camera work for a live concert.
Probably the most underrated band of all time.
Nah, we rate them quite highly :)
Not underrated . The were "THE" supergroup in that time !

ELP was my favorite band when I was a teenager saw them live 4 times!
I'm so glad I was teen back then that loved music. Spent lots of time listening to these outstanding guys.
So good it hurts. Today's music hurts but not in a good way.
This and Triligy are my favorites from ELP. Of course, everything they did was musical genius.
Trilogy is great brain salad surgery is probably there Magnus opus
Iam just a singer in a r:R..BAND, why are all the people struggling here on earth...mr.Emerson...Emer x son.
a talent long before I was of age.... Thank you, Greg Lake.
This is so beautiful to watch.

WOW!! You listened to ELP as a teenager?!! I knew not a single girl who listened to ELP. You're part of a rare breed of Ladies. Kudos!
@@harrychapin808 Really? One of my favorite songs is "Closer to Believing" surely a song that appeals more to women, no?
I did too, at age 17. My boyfriend introduced me to ELP. The relationship didn't last, but my love for the music did, to this day. I'm a keyboardist myself and Keith Emerson was/is one of my all time idols. So sad that he passed. I doubt that there will ever be another band like ELP. They were in a class by themselves.
@@Carol120454 I agree! I am glad to hear that you are a musician. I am a singer/songwriter with two channels on RUclips. I wouldn't be one today if it was not for groups like ELP. There is nothing better than inspired musicianship. I am sure you are a wonderful keyboard player. All the best to you!
Think about how fortunate we are to have all of our old favorites not just recorded in their own voices and playing the music they wrote themselves (unlike previous generations), but also on film/video so we can not only hear them, but see them whenever we want.
If they knew then what we know now, no one would have ever played a concert without a film crew recording it, and a sound crew recording it for posterity.
OMG what talent, Take a Pebble vocals and artistry are unbelievable... thank you EPL and youtube for letting me enjoy!
All of this in their 20s... What a musicians...❤️
They were an awesome and talented band!!!!!
Greg Lake had a hauntingly beautiful voice and spirit. There will never be another like him.🌹🥀
ELP were musical geniuses. Keith, Greg and Carl were a fabulous trio bar none.
Magnificent !
I said it b4 n I'll say it again;
3 of the greatest musicians of all time n all n the same band !
Makes me shiver watching this video! omg... how those great musicians end up.
Just being able to listen to their albums and hear the quality of their music,more than satisfying
This was an absolute joy to watch
The first generation of prog super groups. Probably the best of them all. What a band.
So far ahead of their time. Such a haunting song.
Best bass playing I've heard Greg do (and I've heard a lot of good playing by him).
Hearing this back in high school, early 70S was a pivotal moment in my life. 3 min. pop songs on am radio just were not going to cut it any more........
Just WOW about ELP! An amazing group of musicians!
My goodness, what a song, what a voice what a music .....😎😎😎😎
Siiii. Muy buenos músicos todos ellos.
4:51 Lake looks like he was a real character in those days. His mischievous grin was infectious.
I call them the 3 wise men come bearing gifts each in their own way 👍💪😉
