This is like Muhammed Ali on drums, Mike Tyson on keyboards, Larry Holmes on bass, and Joe Frazier on guitar. Your ultimate supergroup!! RIP Keith Emerson.
Let's give some credit to the man who wrote this work in 1942 for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra...maybe America's best composer...Aaron Copland!!!!
You think! Listen to the original. Them, you listen to 20th C. "Progressive" ensembles run both up and down modal scales = Well? HOWEVER, thank you for the 2 & 4 snare! OMG!! You are so amazingly consistent!!!!
No hate but do you continue to check out new music as well because I would hate for you to miss new stuff like Animals as Leaders or Steven Wilson or Muse.
In the mid 70’s when my best friend and I were competing who was the best keyboard player of us two he was talking about how “great” Rick Wakeman with Yes was. I pulled out my ELP albums and he never went back!!!
@@RMGCBG Wakeman was part of the mix in a guitar band. Emerson was the keyboardist in a keyboard-led band. HUGE difference. Keith composed about 80% of their work and played virtually every moment. No time to have a curry on stage while everyone else worked.
It was the suckiest year ever for rock. We lost so many greats I am too sad to keep count. All we can hope for in the next life: "you know they've got a hell of band." *sigh*
I saw The Nice make their debut at the Fillmore East. They were the opening act for 10 Years After, They blew the audience away. Same antics as ELP, knife in little organ and swinging it around. Unbelievable performance.
In my search for back when music videos I came upon this video. ELP - 3 great artists, 3 instruments, and powerful music. Emerson was a wiz on the keyboard. Palmer made percussion speak to you. Stunning work. Absurd that they are not in the Hall of Fame.
I had the pleasure of seeing Emerson,lake and Powell awesome and talented group and unfortunately both entwistle who died of an overdose and Emerson who committed spiced RIP my brothers and long live rock and roll, my best regards to all you fans sincerely, freshness personified!!!
Worked at Armed Forces Radio and used Tarkus as transition music. Saw ELP in Austin, Texas in about 1977..great show, great music. I worked with an older woman who primarily listened to classical music and made her a mixtape of ELP. After listening in her car the first thing she asked was, "Who is the keyboard player?"
So great to see Keith having such a ball up there on stage. This version of the song has a totally different energy than the ELP version. Both are amazing, and as much as i love Greg Lake and his bass playing, I have to say I have never seen anyone play the bass like John Entwhistle did in this. Love it!! But I do miss Greg and his bass, AND his voice, of course.
Entwhistle "Hey mate! Whatcha doing with me gear? Bass tech "I'm setting up the reverb for the bass line Lake plays" Entwhistle "I got it. No reverb needed."
I was lucky enough to do sound for this group. First day of rehearsal Keith had his huge keyboard rig John had his huge bass rig Simon had a big drum kit and Joe walks in and had me go get his pig nose amp (probably smallest amp ever made) they were amazing!!!
Amazing. Thanks Keith, RIP. Simon Phillips adds so much to this and indeed the concert. Not sure 26 years on about the head band! What fabulous musicians.
Simon Phillips was drummer for The Who on their 1989 tour, first and only time I got to see them. It was pretty amazing show. I'm not sure how I missed this thing back in the 1990s I had no idea! As "super groups" go, this bunch really was The Best. RIP Keith and Ox.
Wow, what an amazing band - so many great heroes on stage. So sad, Keith and John are no longer with us. But what a great version, what a feast of genius
I remember hearing what I know now to be Keef playing "America"; outside Harlow swimming pool by a guy in a green MG Roadster on a cassette tape back in 1967. That piece of music influenced my entire life; strangely enough. It somehow made me start to think about everything. I was ten years old! Fanks Keef! Respect to you. Pauly.
The BEST. A hidden gem that has to be mined to be appreciated. They played in Hawaii and Japan and were done! Thank goodness they made a video! I'd hate to see such talent fall to the wayside.
0_O Holy crap. Mind=Blown. This was a SMOKIN' version of this song, and John Entwistle really was in a league of his own as far as bassists are concerned. Everyone shreds in this vid. haha!
Geni del Rock progressive e non solo .Ottimi esecutori e compositori di musica classica con inflessioni jazz, blues. Keith è spettacolare, unico al mondo. Questa musica non morirà mai. Grazie maestri !!!
You know what this lineup is? Muhammad Ali on drums, Muhammad Ali on bass, Muhammad Ali on guitar, Muhammad Ali on keys and Muhammad Ali on guitar. THIS --- IS THE MONSTERS OF ROCK…
Performing on two keyboards concurrently is easier than one thinks, said no one ever!. RIP to the keyboard king, Keith Emerson, and the king of bass, John Entwistle. They are sorely missed.
I'ts just to damm of a shame they didn't play alot longer with a lineup of John Enthwistle, Keith Emerson, Simon Philips, Jeff Skunk Baxter and last but not least Joe Walsh. Had they played the states they would have blown people's minds yeah i agree 100% from these pro's and they indeed deliver hands down The Best!
All the more lately I refer to this, and tell others. Fan Fare For The Common Man and America Played here highlight John Entwistle and Keith Emerson's, talent! Who fans, should all watch this video! Has got to be some of the most underrated I have ever known of. I stumbled on to this by accident in 2018, and never previously knew of this Band . John's playing is top world class here. Also advantages of this more modern day sound recording etc.. Like said, it's too bad didn't continue. A gift this group ever happened, even if very brief. Platinum to me I found out of this Band at all!
From my 1st exposure to ELP I loved Keith. To this day whenever I hear one of their songs I can't resist moving my fingers to mimic Keith's sounds. And I can't play the piano. I do the same when I hear great bass rifs. I was blown away by Entwistle's licks coz I never knew he could play like this. Awesome! I saw ELP in 1977. What a "Lucky Man" I was. And the anniversary of Keith's death is bittersweet for me coz my wife passed away a week before he did. RIP Keith. RIP John. RIP wifey. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends...
Any reason why Skunk is sitting while playing? I have seen this more often than not. Bad back? Pain in his legs? Just comfortable playing while sitting? Excellent musician. What a concert.
Simon Phillips è in grado di raddoppiare l'indice di gradimento di qualsiasi band con qui è chiamato a suonare !! ........ e grande Keith come sempre !! .
The world and life goes on but it was much better when Keith and the gang was around. Besides crying when a family member died, I cried when I heard, well you know... As someone with depression I can sort of understand....but it shows each person regardless of their wonderful talents and accomplishments has their own pressures, stress, and so on...I love finding these video gems. Thanks for posting this..
This could be one of the greatest line ups ever assembled on stage. I've heard about this tour for many years, but this is the first I've seen of the footage. It's great stuff!
Emerson and Entwistle on the same stage pure amazing
Imagine Entwistle on Tarkus!!
and Baxter
LIKE A DREAM TO SEE THESE TWO TOGETHER!!!!
Not to forget the driver Simon Phillips!
Why does Joe have to spoil it.
holy shit John Entwistle playing ELP music. Now I've seen everything. Thank you Jeff Baxter for putting this show together.
It's Entwistle... he can play whatever he wants
LMAO This is the first time seeing this and I actually said out loud, "HOLY SHIT. That's John Entwistle playing bass." Great minds or what? ha
@@williamgibbs3199 Twas A killer what! HA!
Amen to that
Talent Overload!!!!
It’s nice not to have to cringe at the timing. Thank you Simon Phillips.
This is like Muhammed Ali on drums, Mike Tyson on keyboards, Larry Holmes on bass, and Joe Frazier on guitar. Your ultimate supergroup!! RIP Keith Emerson.
And I forgot George Foreman on guitar. Ain't no slouch on that stage
RIP John Entwistle by now, alas, too. Man. that is one big superband in the sky by now!
@@arno-luyendijk4798 the sad part is one went to hell
@@TheMouko how can you tell?
@@arno-luyendijk4798 keith kill himself for no reason at all
John Alec Entwistle. Best Rock Bass Guitarist in rock history. Takes this to another level. Greg Lake was good but Entwistle was a GD Force.
RIP Keith and John.. two amazingly influential and talented musicians of our times!
Let's give some credit to the man who wrote this work in 1942 for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra...maybe America's best composer...Aaron Copland!!!!
You think! Listen to the original. Them, you listen to 20th C. "Progressive" ensembles run both up and down modal scales = Well? HOWEVER, thank you for the 2 & 4 snare! OMG!! You are so amazingly consistent!!!!
Keith loved Copland so much he called his first and only son Aaron after the composer.
Nothing but the best any keyboardist worth their salt wants to play Fanfare. R.I.P. your music will never die. Thx.
He said it, man! One of the greatest keyboards player that ever walked this planet!!
R.I.P Keith Emerson
IMO, he wasn't one of the best... He was THE best of all time !
Agreed.
THE G.O.A.T
Millenials and Gen Z have no idea what they've missed. RIP Keith and Ox.
'Video kills the radio star' , but rock n' roll never dies, at 63 now, I still never heard anybody belittling about any genre of rock music.
I'm so aware of it, such a shame we doesn't have prog bands today for teens like myself.
@@decashgfgdfc listen to Carl Palmer's guitarist and bassist. . . they're exceptional!
Really? This video is literally on youtube.
No hate but do you continue to check out new music as well because I would hate for you to miss new stuff like Animals as Leaders or Steven Wilson or Muse.
May God Bless You Keith Emerson !! and Greg Lake ...
This is Bad Ass !!!
all Star Line Up !
And NO plectrum from the master Mr. Entwistle. He makes it look so easy. Incredible bassist.
It's like his fingers are just gently caressing the strings. Magnificent.
RIP Keith Emerson. Many many many thanks for all the great music you delivered during your life.
The Hendrix of the keyboards. See you in the next life Keith.
The Keith Emerson of keyboards
In the mid 70’s when my best friend and I were competing who was the best keyboard player of us two he was talking about how “great” Rick Wakeman with Yes was. I pulled out my ELP albums and he never went back!!!
thomas holland Wakeman helped turn Yes into one of the biggest bands on earth. But Keith Emerson was the biggest musician on earth!
You’re all missing who is playing bass on this.
@@RMGCBG Wakeman was part of the mix in a guitar band. Emerson was the keyboardist in a keyboard-led band. HUGE difference. Keith composed about 80% of their work and played virtually every moment. No time to have a curry on stage while everyone else worked.
I was listening - not watching - until it got to the bass solo - my God !
Superb - no wonder the Who were the best rock band !
In your lifetime.............. you lived with these artists. A hundred years before or after and you would have missed a moment in time. EPIC.
Such and incredible group of musicians having fun..!! RIP Keith and John
RIP to my idol, Keith Emerson. You were the best. Nobody could touch you and thank you for making the Moog part of rock and roll. I'm crushed.
R.I.P. Keith... best ever! Thanks for making and being part of the music of my life
K Salter RIP John entwhistle too
Did everyone forget that bassest John Estwistle is gone forever too? Best bass player that ever was.
Vic Senefsky don't forget Chris Squire...
It was the suckiest year ever for rock. We lost so many greats I am too sad to keep count.
All we can hope for in the next life: "you know they've got a hell of band."
*sigh*
The two of them had no equals. I was on my way to a gig when I heard about John dying. Not a great night.
Yeah I don't get it, I mean George Duke was a much better keyboardist than Emerson but no one has even been able to approach Entwistles level on bass
Discharge Summary Don't forget Sting. He sometimes plays a fretless Bass!!
I saw The Nice make their debut at the Fillmore East. They were the opening act for 10 Years After, They blew the audience away. Same antics as ELP, knife in little organ and swinging it around. Unbelievable performance.
WOW... Fillmore East and West were great clubs.. Wish they were still around.. RIP Bill Graham
and Skunk...jeez...you don't get many musicians like this anymore...so so sad.
...what a line-up....Emerson, Skunk, Walsh, Entwistle, etal. ....
R.I.P. Keith...you were one of my childhood idols!
In my search for back when music videos I came upon this video. ELP - 3 great artists, 3 instruments, and powerful music. Emerson was a wiz on the keyboard. Palmer made percussion speak to you. Stunning work. Absurd that they are not in the Hall of Fame.
Outstanding version R.I.P. Keith .
Besides the original, Emerson, Lake and Palmer did this tune and gave it justice!
I had the pleasure of seeing Emerson,lake and Powell awesome and talented group and unfortunately both entwistle who died of an overdose and Emerson who committed spiced RIP my brothers and long live rock and roll, my best regards to all you fans sincerely, freshness personified!!!
Love the smiles & pure joy these men are having just playing music. Not a job or responsibility, just 4/5 guys having fun up there.
RIP. Master of your trade. Will be remembered for your wonderful music. No one did it better.
What an immense bassist John was!
RIP Keith.... definitely one of 'the best'... Entwistle too...
Worked at Armed Forces Radio and used Tarkus as transition music. Saw ELP in Austin, Texas in about 1977..great show, great music. I worked with an older woman who primarily listened to classical music and made her a mixtape of ELP. After listening in her car the first thing she asked was, "Who is the keyboard player?"
Michael Shimp that's what hooked me on ELP, studying classical piano, then heard ELP, kinda kicked the classics into high gear for me.
The Hendrix of the keyboards and The Hendrix of the bass
Now we just need Hendrix himself
Geddy Lee would like a word with you. While Entwistle was great, Lee was playing bass, keys and vocals.
@@gofoatswait till you realise Entwistle could do that and more and geddy lee was a very cheap copy
KEITH-a big big part of my musical life- he made PROG-ROCK at its best.......
Dear lord, legendary talent unleashed.
So great to see Keith having such a ball up there on stage. This version of the song has a totally different energy than the ELP version.

What a lucky man you are!
@@MuzixMakerI see what you did there😎🎶
RIP to a true pioneer. So fortunate to have seen you play 3 times. Just shocked and saddened beyond words.
Simply the best - Been watching since the Nice - his fingers fly - I don't recall anyone like him in my life (and he is a super nice person)!
Amazing. Thanks Keith, RIP. Simon Phillips adds so much to this and indeed the concert. Not sure 26 years on about the head band! What fabulous musicians.

If I could... I would press the "like" button thousand times!
I felt my soul leave my body listening to this.
Joseph Walsh, one of thee original red, white, and blue meanies
このステージ見にいきまいた。遥か１５年も前になるんですね。
Man, look at this talent on stage. Awesome. Emerson was a genius.
Fantastic show, saw both ELP and The Who in concert in the mid '70's, two best concerts I'
ve ever attended.
The BEST. A hidden gem that has to be mined to be appreciated. They played in Hawaii and Japan and were done! Thank goodness they made a video! I'd hate to see such talent fall to the wayside.
No wonder I never heard of this project if they only played Hawaii and Japan
0_O Holy crap. Mind=Blown. This was a SMOKIN' version of this song, and John Entwistle really was in a league of his own as far as bassists are concerned. Everyone shreds in this vid. haha!
Simon Phillips on the kit, no slouch there.
RIP Keith.. nobody did it like him
+Mike Flavin I saw him with Jeff Beck in 1980- Holy Mother of God. Solo’d in Space Boogie
There isn’t a slouch on that stage--
4:15 John Entwhistle blows our minds with his crazy slapping/shredding bass technique.
He never slapped he found it too percussive he popped but his main finger technique just sounded a little similar to slapping
Geni del Rock progressive e non solo .Ottimi esecutori e compositori di musica classica con inflessioni jazz, blues. Keith è spettacolare, unico al mondo. Questa musica non morirà mai. Grazie maestri !!!
The Ox is just killing it .. in every Song
This is blowing MY mind!!! I love it Combination of talent here, omg!
This is a performance by grownups, who master their instruments and have disciplined fun. Great, and thank you for uploading.
RIP Keith - this was a dream band.
one of THE most powerful music experiences around. I just LOVE this....
You know what this lineup is?
Muhammad Ali on drums, Muhammad Ali on bass, Muhammad Ali on guitar, Muhammad Ali on keys and Muhammad Ali on guitar.
THIS --- IS THE MONSTERS OF ROCK…
Floats like a butterfly. Stings like a bee.

I love Joe Walsh, but he's really the odd man out here.
@@jagtone I think he's away on a different planet here, if you know what I mean :-)
He's like the cheerleader of the band. I love his playing but he's definitely not as technical as Skunk.
Wow, first time I have seen this amazing piece. Thank-you for the music, it lives on.
Man I love those days when Keyboard Players stood in between Mountains of Equipment ...
Still gives me the Chills. Wow.
Man that was awesome
WaS hoping to see ELP one more time.
Seen them 19 times

Glad to come across this. Great rendition of this classic from an all-star cast of musicians!
DAMN....that was smokin' hot!!
This epic, especially Entwistle's bass playing. Maybe as good as any bass player ever he had such a crisp, distinct sound
What a jam
Bloody out standing love this a amazing track two thumbs up
Just found this, holy crap!!! Entwislte was also amazing on what is otherwise, a strange but outstanding line-up. Thank u youtube!
RIP Keith. That's some Moog you have got there....
Q.E.P.D el excelente musico Keith Emerson. We were lucky to have you on earth.
No disrepect as the major players have passed but is this "Emerson, Ox, and Skunk"?? Love it!
RIP Keith, you were such a beast on the keys.
Keith Emerson. A genius!
Brilliant as usual by Mr Emerson, and the rest of the band were just as good. Very enjoyable!!
Holly shit, this is amazing!!!!
I always knew Emerson was amazing....I've never seen Entwistle play like that! Incredible!!

Any reason why Skunk is sitting while playing? I have seen this more often than not. Bad back? Pain in his legs? Just comfortable playing while sitting? Excellent musician. What a concert.
what a great and inspiring tune Aaron Copland composed. I am sure he would have enjoyed this interpretation
