Incredible! ELP puts their majestic touch on Copland's Fanfare.

I've loved 'em since I discovered "Take a Pebble" in early 1971, and I've loved 'em no less for their reworkings of classics like this. Two-thirds of 'em are now gone, and others elsewhere too...I feel the passing of a great generation of very pioneering musicians...😢😢😢 JAT

Listened to the entire Trilogy the other day - on very high end headphone. I saw 13 year old me doing the exact same thing. I'm 61, so I started crying. How I worshipped this band. They were like God's to me.

From 1969 to 1979, they sold 40 million albums, cassettes, etc. Their tours were legendary. Especially the WORKS tour in 77 with the orchestra. I was very lucky to see them in St Paul, a week before the orchestra was sent home due to the cost and union travel rules. It was a magical concert.

3 nights at MSG - July 1977. I was almost 15. Went all 3 nights. I do believe it changed me forever, even in some small way.

In my senior year in the Class of '83, playing trumpet (1st Chair) in the Jazz Band at Fargo South High School, we played a truncated version of this ELP tune, about the first 3 minutes & 15 seconds or so. One of the other guys in the band could write music better than the rest of us could read it, and he wrote the sheet music for it, adhering more or less to this ELP version, yet including parts for all members (i.e. saxes, trombones, trumpets, rhythm section, etc.). We segued from this to the Maynard Fergusen version of the "ROCKY" Theme. We had played together as a jazz band for at least 3 years straight, so we were pretty damn good for a high school jazz band . . . and when we attended a Jazz Band festival in Sioux City, Iowa that year, we -- despite being from the school furthest away from that venue -- ended up being adjudicated as the best high school band there. As 1st Chair Trumpet player, I was particularly proud, because even though I was pretty good for a high school-aged trumpeter, I was nowhere near as great a trumpeter as Maynard F*cking Fergusen, and I sure as hell knew it! I just attended my 40-Year high school reunion last year -- alas, only one other jazz band member attended -- and it was wistful to remember those glory days of being considered 'top notch' at a multi-state attended jazz festival, with pro jazz musicians adjudicating the bands. ELP's "Fanfare For The Common Man" -- segueing into Maynard's version of "ROCKY" -- was one of the reasons I had any 'glory days' back then. Great memories, and it's too bad we didn't have smart-phones to record everything, they way kids these days have.

Listening to FFCTM, I thought it was possible to create songs in this direction. It's become my favorite band because it's so good and I'm so excited.

After Welcome back, ELP should have said "so many of us, thank you, goodbye", "Fanfare..." was the last thing worth from ELP and I'm a big ELP fan

No, you're a curmudgeon of negativity... Too bad 4 you, ELP continued to make fantastic music as long as they were on the planet. Nobody gives a crap what you think Nancy.

I can understand your view. I thought Works 1 and 2 were good but was disappointed with Love Beach and onwards. Partly it was due to my tastes changing and discovering other bands. There is no right or wrong, it's all a matter of taste.

I've learned that ELP copied a lot of music from other composers.
@seamusoflatcap6 ай бұрын
They did their interpretations, such as this and Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition, but always credited the composer. At no time did they claim to be the composer.
