yes! (supernatural that is). I've always dug the end of this album's Aquatarkus epic long track when, after playing only the best keyboard/synth solos ever played for what, 20 minutes straight, Keith instead of basking in it says "Carl Palmer, Greg Lake". One of a kind, once in a generation (or three).. cheers

@James Smith, I love your comments. Sadly, I never saw ELP as a band but got to see Carl & ELP legacy band in March 2018, and omgod! He definitely gave me a great idea of what it would have felt like to see the band back in their day! He was incredible!!!! His hands move so fast that they almost disappear! I don't get this crap when people say "Carl has timing issues" or whatever, because it sure as h**l was music to me -- and great music at that!!!! As much as I was looking forward to hearing him play Fanfare for the drum intro, it was Trilogy that hit me hardest! And...he had just turned 68 the week before! Sure, he may not be 100% as fast as he was in the days but he STILL kicks ass and then some!!!! I bet he can out play many, many drummers half his age! I was only 5 feet in front of him! It was a dream come true! He is the BEST!!!

It is so sad we've lost 2 of the 3. There will NEVER be a band like ELP again, especially because of Keith. Thank goodness, between Carl continuing with the ELP Legacy Band and 2 great guitarists, and Aaron Emerson (who does a pretty fine job of hitting the ivories, too!) as well as his own young son Ethan, maybe the Emerson name won't fade. Ethan, at only 11, played Dreamer like a seasoned pro at his grandfather's tribute concert last summer. I listen to a lot more music and have other favorites (ELP is 1st) but there is just something about ELP that is like an addiction! I cannot go 1 day without hearing them!!!! Loved your story, too!!! I love to watch some of his stuff with The Nice. Hang On To A Dream just knocks my socks off!!! He was so incredible, then and later. I also love lots of his stuff with Marc Bonilla (as the KE Band).

Back then the critics smugly dismissed ELP's music as pretentious,overplayed & not reflective of true rock n roll.They simply didn't understand the times they were living in.Yes,some bands were playing straight rock n roll but some were more foward-thinking,more adventurous & innovative.It was a period of unbridled creativity in rock.And the people wanted it.ELP clearly demonstrated from the start the type of band they were & their audience embraced it.Real musical talent,real technical brilliance,that was the hallmark of ELP.They deserve their standing in the pantheon of rock greatness.They earned it.

I saw them on this tour. That performance of Tarkus stands out for me as the most awesome single piece of music I've ever seen and heard live. And I've seen and heard some memorable stuff since. Palmer was of course great on this, but it was Emerson's keyboard pyrotechnics that left me in awe. Rest in peace, Mr. Emerson.

We have grown up with Greg. Maybe he started progressive music with Epitaph , I Talk to the wind, etc. When he leaved King Crimson , we could see that the very their king was Lake. If You carefully listen "THE SAGE " there are the same toones of Epitaph. Keith knews Greg was very sick in 2016 ... Giovanni Paolo (che nome), sei italiano?

way back in 77 before a show in Denver, walked past a loading dock door and heard the Moogs being tuned up. Was so high I thought it was actually Keith practicing pre-show, obviously just a tech getting those old drifting oscillators as close as possible to pitch for him, but still a great memory. love ELP forever!
@KennethP556 жыл бұрын
I read somewhere that Keith used "Hoedown" to tune up the Moogs. They were apparently really fussy machines and couldn't really be tuned except while you were playing them. I remember when I saw the BSS tour in December 1973, Keith was constantly adjusting the switch panel behind the synthesizers. Compare with the video here of their playing "Fanfare for the Common Man" in the snow in Montreal in 1977; the huge switch panel was still there, but Keith never touched it once. Maybe this was technical progress in the intervening years, or maybe "Fanfare" was just easier to play than "Karn Evil Nine." But I know Keith contributed a lot to the development of the Moog. I wish I had gone seen him at Moogfest when I lived in North Carolina.

Ik kan me nog herinneren als de dag van gisteren dat ik overliep van enthousiasme toen ik dit voor het eerst hoorde. Ik herinner me nu nog de slechte recensies in de popbladen... Muziekkrant Oor was vernietigend in haar oordeel! Ik leef nu in het jaar 2020, en deze muziek verveelt nog steeds niet! Dat vooral maakt heel veel indruk op mij... Ik hoorde laatst het verhaal dat Keith Emerson suicide heeft gepleegd omdat hij verlamd was geraakt aan zijn vingers en nooit meer kon spelen. Als dat waar is dan vindt ik dat wel zeer deprimerend.... Mijn respect voor Keith Emerson en zijn muzikale prestaties zal altijd blijven....!

This album as previously songs as "Lucky man" was a work against the war. In these years we were totally filled in that bad dream of VietNam war. That sound of moog was symolizing a machine gun. As the cover of Tarkus and "Tank" in the first Album. There were in that time many songs against Vietnam war and all the wars (for example in South America): "1983 ..." Hendrix; many songs of John Lennon; Doors: Rolling Stones, etc

My favorite version of Tarkus. Much more energy than the studio version. Great rhythmic interplay with Lake and Palmer from 3:16 to 5:06 and 8:01 to 8:59 really lift the keyboard solos. One of Lake's best guitar solos and you have to love the "Epitaph" allusion. The boys were really listening to each other---and the instrumental parts shine.
