Great record. We were very lucky to have great music like this as teenagers. Thank you ELP.

My teenage years were filled with ELP, Floyd, YES, Kansas, 'Tull and many many other Prog Rock groups. How lucky our generation was to be there when this music was being created. RIP Keith & Greg. You set the bar very very high!

Wherever I go when I die, I just hope they are playing Emerson, Lake & Palmer when I get there.

Gonna put on my headphones,turn up the volume & light one up in honor of Keith & memories of my youth. R.I.P. brother !!!!!

R.I.P. Keith . One of greatest tracks in Prog from three great musicians

This remains one of the songs I refer my younger friends to when I talk about the great music in the good old days.

This was my first real album that l got,fell in love with it.Greg Lake what a voice,my daughter said the other week the album cover fascinated her when she was little,she wouldn't look inside though,l think it scared her.lol.even now husband thinks I'm weird to like this.well l don't care at 67 your still not to old to rock , ROCK ON

I thought when I was younger this music was unusual and not mainstream, it was at the forefront of progressive rock. I was just learning the piano. I did n't appreciate the brilliance of the organ keyboard playing but this is absolute keyboard playing at its best. Emerson raised the bar of keyboards in a time when electric guitar was at the forefront. An incredible keyboard player, few will ever rival him and best rock keyboardist followed by Rick Wakeman. Emerson had more of a rock feel than Wakeman. Any credible rock keyboardist will no doubt acknowledge Emerson as finest. Use of sounds via moog, keyboards incredible . RIP Keith Emerson, than you for your brilliance and the legacy and light you have shone for keyboard players.

2 AM Christmas morning, can't sleep due to COVID. Yet ELP manages to get me through. Giants among men! Here's to a better 2022.

One of the most timeless fantastic pieces of Music ever recorded,years ahead of its time and technology.thank you keith,Keith, and carl.l will always consider this as one of my favorite journeys into classic music.

They sang in 1973 about the deranged horrorshow our society has now: bad music, bad movies, shallowness, youngsters focused on bullshit, greed, all legitimized as quality entertainment and culture, and, in the end, a.i. taking over humanity.

Only Carl remains with us today. So sad for Greg and Keith....

Pure musical greatness

Greg Lake has left the Planet I will place on my Mantel a Bouquet of Martian Fire Flowers in his Honor RIP

ELP THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS!

RIP Keith. You will always be the best.

Earlier last year, I started really getting into Prog, and Google play recommended ELP's Brain Salad Surgery based on my selections. I purchased it, and it was during Karn Evil 9 that I realized that it was where we get the "Welcome back my friends" song that is always played on the radio. It was one of the most amazing musical moments I have ever heard. RIP Keith Emerson.

one of greatest musicians to ever walk on this mortal coil !

RIP KEITH you rocked it California Jam twirling with keyboard i will never forget

RIP Keith!

ELP. My favorite band. That ever made. Progressive rock. Cool

This era of music is probably the best thing The British Empire has ever given to mankind.

RIP Keith, you were great!

I grew up on this music, also Floyd, Yes, Faust, Gong, Tangerine Dream. Timeless.

We had Pink Floyd, Prog rock like ELP and Kansas, Neil Young, Yes, countless others. Now they have Kanye West, Nickleback, and Toby Keith.

Gracias maestro Keith, por su música y su talento !!

Blows my mind! All the different voices he gets, and they're tight despite all the changes.

ELP was on of my favorite bands back then, but I'd great to be reminded how innovative they were, how well their music stands up 50 years later.

Amazing,Amazing,Amazing and others billions time again ,this opera prog/rock Is phenomenal,thanks soooooooooo much ELP my Heroes Forever and everrrrrrrr,from here to eternity,from Treviso Italy

RIP Keith!!!

listening to Brain Salad Surgery very very loud

A high quality school friend said "Hey want some Brain Salad Surgery? " I said.?.He had a top of the line stereo system with Quad surround sound. This album just took my breath away stunning me!.Till this day it still blows me away.We saw them at Yale Bowl in New Haven, still my best show I've seen besides PF in Miami in 1980.

Un pezzo sublime.C'e' tutto, genio, creatività, tecnica, classe.Grandi💥👏❤️

Un aniversario más sin el gran Keith Emerson pero aún continua alimentando nuestro espíritu con sus grandes interpretaciones por siempre Keith.

The best song of progressive rock. Really masterpiece.

Super great can't say more.

And the piano spins no more.

RIP Keith and Greg. Legends

RIP Greg ....

Genius .

First time listening... Wowe

It's great song after Pink Floyd's Shine on you crazy Diamond!

RIP Keith

Remember this was only played on FM stations back in the day, too long for the AM Top 40 back then.

8:35 The part you'd hear on the radio a lot.

Here's to Keith & Greg.

'Prog Rock' personified...

Wat mooie muziek!

Must be a nod to Beatles Sgt Pepper's Heart Club Band at 11:40

Carl Palmer's the shiznick

If any UK based ELP fan guitarist/vocalists who can play & sing Greg's parts would like to get together and have a go then please message me here via KZfaq. I have a lot of their numbers sorted on keyboards and also have a drummer waiting..! Hope to hear from some of you soon... Raffy.

Question: wasn't this album recorded in *Quadraphonic Sound?* I believe the ending of this epic featured the last keyboard loop going around and around the listener, if you had the four speakers & set up at home. I never had that, myself. Can anyone confirm this distant memory?

"I am perfect, are you"? Sadly, ELP should have taken those words to heart......5 yrs late , "Love Beach"? Sometimes its best to pack it in when you're on top of your game...

I'm listening to this getting to the end and I'm wondering what I want to hear next.I can't think of anything after this.What can follow this?

Evil Kanevil era.

This one might please Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. Slim-Pickin's lately. Signed, Jesus Christ The Messiah Eternal Life Party New Earth Advocate "The Only Good Rocker Is: The One That's Dead Already"

Requiescat keith

Can someone tell me if any of the albums have all three parts? All I can seem to find is pt. 2.

Sorry, but Yes were much better. Or maybe I just havent smoked enough dope? Let the flame war begin! :)

They never did the lyrics justice.

Capa maravilhosa e um disco chato demais!
