EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL BACKSTAGE, INTERVIEWS AND SOUNDCHECKING, A RARE FOOTAGE WHICH I BELIEVE WAS NEVER AIRED, INCLUDES SHOW OPENING WITH TARKUS CUT. ENJOY! In the memory of Keith.

Keith was an extraordinarily talented keyboardist. Those who derided him during his downward spiral instead of supporting him will have to answer for it.

Such a colossal talent inside such a decent and likeable person. A huge loss to music when he took his life, but thank you so much Keith Emerson for sharing your talent with us while you were on this world.

I saw ELP seven times....may Keith and Greg's spirits rest, safe in the knowledge that they completed their missions here on Earth.

Hi I saw them about 70 times and never missed a tour. Grateful to have grown up during the late 60's and 70's.

Keith's simply goofing off and hearing what his rig sounds like in this venue... Yeah, Keith's "goofing off" is far and away better than 99% of keyboard player's best moments when they're trying to be perfect! RIP Keith and Greg! Godspeed Carl!

Saw ELP seven times - when musicians were genuine people who had worked on their instruments until they were more than competent - there were many bands like ELP at the time - real musicians. Since then, I loved punk and getting back to basics with Guitar, Bass, Drums and Vocals - but since then we have seen a gradual descent from genuine talent into the X-Factor.

You're welcome, I extracted this VERY RARE material from the BETA master tapes from MTV Brasil when I worked there in the 90s, It never was aired, some very few takes were used for a special montage amongst a lot of other images when ELP came here in Sao Paulo to Tour in 93. I was very lucky to be able to copy this in VHS at that time. Enjoy.

My apologies, then. Whomever the source is, I wish he/she wouldn't have cut it off when they did. I have always wanted to see what, eactly, Keith does to create that sort of lazer gun effect on the ribbon control in Tarkus, and this would have been the perfect opportunity. Sorry for sounding so upset, but it *is* a bummer. : (

@ximalas 7 жыл бұрын

The ribbon controller consists of two main parts. A trigger band and a control voltage band. (Actually there are some additional parts. Google for the schematics for the 956 controller or the 1150 controller.) Both bands run in parallel almost the entire length of the controller. The trigger band sends a trigger signal that is usually routed to one or more envelope generators. The envelope generator control the filters and amplifiers, and thus shape the sound. The control voltage band gives a different voltage depending on where you depress it. The control voltage is usually fed into the oscillator controllers to control the pitch. In the Royal Albert Hall footage you can see how Keith places one of his thumbs on the control voltage band. He uses his second thumb to strike the trigger band rapidly to create the gun effect. Sometimes he even strikes both the trigger band and the control voltage band.

ximalas my head hurts reading all that.

@noddyspuncture 5 жыл бұрын

@@dexterdog62 It's actually moire complicated than the explanation above - the CV voltage needs to be 'grounded' with a wet/damp finger (sweat) to get the instant hi-to-lo pitch drop. Emo hit the ribbon at the top - for the highest pitch, and then used his sweat..! And you won't do it on a standard ribbon controller - it needs modifying slightly..!
