Great musicians, I always listen to their music like it’s the first time...

Masterpiece built on a masterpiece.

My first ELP song... It will always be special to me.

This and their rendition of Aaron Copeland's Hoedown are my favorites!❤

It's like watching the Olympics

And seeing them perform it live was mesmerizing.

Forever and ever !

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.

There is something timelessly ethereal in the music of ELP

There's simply no words to describe the POWER & PERFECTION of this ultimate version to COPELAND's piece. THE GREATEST POWER TRIO of ALL time,all genres,all styles. EMERSON LAKE & PALMER FOREVER ✊🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🍻🇧🇷🖤

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.

Saw ELP during the works tour without the orchestra in San Francisco cheers 🍻

Grande Keith ❤

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.

Wonderful !

I'm probably the only one here that has an ELP scrapbook.

OLD LEFT, NEW WORLD

Power to the Yamaha GX1. Also 1:05 and. 9:29

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

I've learned that ELP copied a lot of music from other composers.
