Then the corporate suits took over and by 1980, most the AOR (Album Oriented Rock) stations were gone, replaced by the “Formula Rock” Top 40 stations. The days ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Rush, etc and their 10-15 minute songs being played on the radio were gone; replaced by the hits from REO Speedwagon, Journey, Foreigner, Cheap Trick, etc. Not that those are bad bands with bad songs but they lacked the pure magic of songs like this one.

ELP was my favorite band when I was in college. 1977 I saw them in concert 5 times. It was the year I graduated from college and I just happened to be in the cities where they were touring. They started the tour with a full symphony orchestra, but it got too expensive so by the end of the summer it was just the 3 of them. My favorite was Keith Emerson. I've always been a sucker for keyboards and Keith was classically trained, which comes through in a lot of their music. Karl Palmer was not a drummer, he was a percussionist. Truly amazing. I wasn't that keen on Greg Lake back in the day, and always thought him the weak link, but have changed my mind and come to appreciate him more as I grow older. It's so great to see another generation discover their music and help to keep it alive. Loved your reaction, and yes, you definitely need to check out more of their music..

The opening harmonics are very reminiscent of the beginning of the song Roundabout from Yes which came out just one year prior. I wonder if that was Greg Lake tipping his hat? Maybe somebody here knows. In the meantime, some obligatory follow-up tracks: Lucky Man, the full Karn Evil 9 suite, Hoedown (adaptation of an Aaron Copeland piece), Fanfare for the Common Man (also by Copeland). There are many others, but this is a good start. Enjoy!

Nick's comment, on this video, about how lucky those of us that were born in the mid-50's are and that we experienced all the great music that came out back then is so TRUE. I was 13 yrs. old in 1970 and Jerry was 17. You are absolutely right ~ Jerry and I often remind each other of just that fact! We feel that there is nothing that compares to the music back then and the best part was seeing all these great bands live in concert as well! Unfortunately, because of time "not" standing still, we are loosing all the great musicians and you can't believe how sad we get when another one passes on. If you guys are ever out here on the east coast, you have to visit Bethel, NY, in Sullivan County, where the famous "Woodstock" concert took place in 1969 for 3 days of peace, love and fun and with NO incidences of rioting, fights, etc. Jerry and I actually got married there a couple years ago right on the field where they built the stage! It is a beautiful preserved historic site that hails an interesting museum containing so many Woodstock memories and artifacts and also all the happenings that went on in the 60's, music related and not. I know you guys would love it there, being so into "our" music . . . if you ever travel out this way, let us know . . . we love to go back there and it'd be awesome to meet you too!

As soon as Greg finished with In the Wake of Poseidon and left to form ELP I followed him and I never bought another King Crimson album though I did lidten to them from time to time. Greg's voice was what drew me to KC ... and on then to ELP. Never regretted that decision for a single moment. That was when I was 17 in @ 1970 and 51 yra later they are still my #1. R.I.P. Keith & Greg

Keith's solo was a one time thing. They went crazy over it but Keith wanted another stab at it. They had limited tracks and they only had one track and none to do experimenting with. Keith always regretted this. Of course to me it sounded perfect.

Sounds even better now than when I first heard it in high school in 1972! Mellow is the word I always used to describe the feeling this song evoked. Love your reactions--you guys really know quality music, and we certainly had an abundance of it in the 70's. We truly did not realize how lucky we were back then to have music like this readily played!

I'm 71. You never grow out of it Nick. You grow into it. As you've said, there was that much great music produced in the 60s and 70s, it was hard to listen to it all. The radio mostly played crap, albums were expensive to buy (at least for this working class kid) and of course there was no internet. As it happened, I had this album and I saw them live in '73, but there's still a whole lot from the period that I haven't got into, yet. Your dad will have been the same. He would have been aware of ELP, but maybe hadn't explored them too deeply.

I saw them in the early 70’s and they were one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen on stage. Keith Emerson was the best keyboard player of his generation. Listen to Tarkus,Pictures at an Exhibition,and Brain Salad Surgery. Keith Emerson didn’t invent the Moog Synthisizer but he did more for synth music than anyone else. Rest In Peace Keith and Greg.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes, weren't we so lucky to be born in the 50's. I bought this album when it was released and still play it. The three guys were concert standard musicians. Greg Lake plays ALL the guitars and Carl Palmer is on percussion. The story goes that Keith wasn't in the studio when they were recording this so it was just Greg and Carl. Keith comes in and Greg says, the end needs some keyboards and Keith just come up with what you hear. Just simply stunning music and musicianship. Stay safe and Keep on Rocking.
