The best three man band in history

The greatest band of all time!!!!!!!!

This live version of Tarkus, no doubt the best. Keith could make his keyboards talk. Such a master of his craft. The ending sends me in a high no drug could match. R.I.P. to any of them we've lost. They gave us a treasure!

The best version of the what may be the best prog song ever written

Puro talento e maestria ao vivo ..... só músicos diferenciados fazem isso.

Just pumped this into my 500watt amp and 15" Cerwin Vega three way speakers. I love this epic piece My neighbor must love it too, he threw a brick through my window so he could hear it too!

The Aquatarkus portion of this movement is absolutely stunning

(Dave here) 50 years later and STILL in the Top Ten live albums! NO over-dubs NO extra musicians NO editing! Exactly as it was recorded. I saw ELP in Houston, Tx. Their loudspeakers were spread apart, ON ALL FOUR SIDES of the audience. True surround sound?? Holy Shit!!! Karn Evil 9 ,completely performed, note for note. My ears rang for 2 days!! True geniuses, ELP. Why aren't they inductees to the rrhof

Sensational super trio! Emerson Lake & Palmer FOREVER!!! 👏👏👏☠️ 🇧🇷

Palmer definitely one of the greatest drummers of all time they should be in the Hall of Fame sad that they are not

A masterpiece. The level of musicianship this band had is extraordinary.

Saw them in 1975 at Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City, NJ. This was my first live concert General Admission. $12.00 per ticket$ Sitting in the center of the stadium you got the whole effect of true quadrophonic sound....and LOUD!!!!. I'm a 64 yr old drummer who saw the greatest talent of their time. What Carl Palmer was doing on his British Steel Custom drumset was phenomenal. Glad I was there to experience it . Rock on!!!

15:53 Lake incorporating the lines from Epitaph in this live version is very cool. I forgot about that.

Live, Keith Emerson would have just sailed of the planet, and beat for note Carl Palmer would have followed him. It would be that smooth voice of Greg Lake that would reel them back. What an absolute astounding group of musicians. All beyond talented in what they brought to both the studio, and the stage. The world is a better place because of what they added to it.

Best progressive rock band for all history + Yes

a killer cut, the best Tarkus ever

Overdue for rock and roll hall of fame this concert changed the world

That little armadillo has rocked for 50 years! I like to imagine Keith when he stepped over to the other side Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was waiting for him to welcome him. Cheers

Already 7 years since his passing, but I will never stop playing his music. I consider this among his best performances, although there are many of them haha.

Better than the studio version for sure. I remember, years ago, Greg Lake being interviewed on WNEW FM 102.7. He pointed out that NONE of that live album was retouched. Everything on that live is at it was.

Carl’s drumming is so amazing… sounding like double base when really using one base drum and one pedal .. all x3 are masters

Saw them June 1977 right out of high school were out copies of this 3 of the most accomplished musicians ever😎🎹🎸🥁🎶

My fellow earthlings we lived in a era when we could talk to the winds of time .....

Emerson was a fine artist - visionary composer - far beyond anything prog at the time or since.

cuanto los extrañaremos maestros :( , la musica moderna esta en deuda con ustede ustedes, que le dieron otro enfoque al rock y lo llevaron a limites insuperables. Gracias por tanto Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Hoedown, Toccata leading up are great captures, but the version of Tarkus/Aquatarkus here is absolutely mind blowing!

todos los grandes años. de. los. 70s se conjugaron. para hacer buena musica con sentido y con una profunda y muy creativa sensibilidad sin limites ni fronteras. 3. grandes. talentos. a nivel mundial e aqui una prueba feaciente de su. talento. y creatividad invaluable

My absolute favorite version of Tarkus, bar none!

Sheet music for this is next level insanity. Fourths buried in fourths. Few can play this.

I love them forever...

So much fun!!!!!❤❤❤❤🎉

I saw them in '73 in Long Beach Arena, one of the venues used for this album. Wow! Indoors. Intense!

Perfección.

Fantastic

Hello all you fellow ELP-heads. If you are here and listening to this piece, then you are probably a True Fan, like me. I still have the original 3-piece fold-out LP. I haven't had a phonograph to play it on for decades now, but hey you never know.... The front panel opens up to the left, and a panel under that opens up to the right, with big metallic block letters on each of the three inside panels spelling out "E L P." A triple live album; one of the first ever, I believe, if not THE first ever. I've always thought that this album was mixed heavy and muddy, but as time has passed it's become a part of what this album is, like a part of its "personality," if you will. Take that away, and it becomes a completely different entity. I saw these guys 6 times back in the 70's. Remember those old black and white newsreel clips of the girls screaming and fainting when the Beatles arrived in America for the first time? I was kind of like that with ELP, especially E. I didn't scream or faint or anything, but I was a huge fan. They were my favorite band of all time, and as I ( and my musical tastes) have matured and expanded, they are still pretty dang near the top of the list, and I still listen to them regularly. By the way, if you're an ELP fan you owe it to yourself to check out Rachel Flowers here on YT. She's a remarkable young woman with a special talent who shares our passion. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. Here's a sample for you, be sure to listen to some of her other stuff. And that's not just A Moog, it's HIS Moog. Yes, HIS. On her left, you'll catch a few glimpses of The Beast, aka The World's Most Famous Synthesizer. Look for the backstory on how that Moog came to be underneath her fingertips; it's fascinating and includes Keith himself giving a shout out to Rachel, from the legendary Abbey Road studio with Keith's "Bolero" playing in the background. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8hjZJCFqa6UZX0.html

Muito obrigado pela obra é um clássico

Grandioso y Fabuloso lo más avanzado del Rock de los 70

this version of AQUATARKUS is just FUCKING MASTERPIECE EPIC MIND BLOWER .....

Brilliant!

I SAW THIS SHOW IN 1973.AT THE ALABAMA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CAMPUS,THE STUDENT BODY,WOULD CONTACT PREMERE INTERPRISES & BRING ALL THE FAMOUS BANDS TO THE CAMPUS TO RAISE THE MONEY 💰 THEY NEEDED FOR THERE STUDENT PROJECTS,DANCES,& SOCIAL GATHERINGS.EMESON LAKE & PALMER WERE SUMMOND. & THEY PLAYED THIS SHOW, & THEN THIS ALBUM CAME OUT. I WAS SO HIGH & TRIPPING ON ACID,I WAS IN PSYCHODELIC HEAVEN !

Confusion will be my epitaph As I crawl a cracked and broken path If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

Battlefield tocada com maestria, destaque para os vocais e solo de Greg Lake!

ELP....FOR EVER !

This band is the reflection of prodigious bygone era, it's a phantom asteroid that returns to set its sights on sound art. A prodigious wave charged with paradoxes from which escape the magic, enthusiasm and irrationality, hypnotic factors challenging vulnerable souls in search of the absolute. His musical architecture is a short tunnel that leads to light 🦨

Monstrous

At their peak.

15:53 Epitaph!

Lemmy used to roadie for these guys : Motorhead was slang for someone on speed....

15:50 Epitaph

The MAR Y SOL festival set is actually a cleaner recording , details , focus of the players etc . Of course every TARKUS version has its moments .

Keith just sounds like he has 4 hands. 😮

Tarkus live?? It's too much!!!!

I wonder how long it took to memorize this song.

OMG

There's only one thing I don't like about the modern version of Tarkus. 0:50, the Gsus4 doesn't resolve to a Gmaj in the studio version, and instead sticks to the quartal harmony; this version resolves the Gsus4 into a Gmaj, which feels less Tarkus-y and more commercial. Maybe I'm just not open-minded enough to understand. However, the fact that my only gripe with this version is a single note says more about how fantastic this performance is. That synth with the high resonance in the first section of Mass was seriously jamming, and Battlefield has never sounded better. Aquatarkus leaves one speechless.

Does anyone know why Greg Lake didn't sing the verse that starts with "the high priest took a blade..."??

Cannot believe a world that did not induct ELP into the Rock and Roll HOF.

This is best done fast as a 3-piece with this instrumentation, not slow and clunking by 20 or 100 pieces. I've listened to other jazz prog, and orchestral versions, but they fail.

I always find it funny: Carl counts in 1 2 3 four....but its (beginning) in 10/8 meter

head phones are ok but to do it justice you need some big speakers and a lot of power , not even really loud ,but it has to breathe

Tip of the line … not even close , any band !

22:56 SOLO !!

Just love this album, but as Greg Lake admitted the sound engineers sadly has a day off.

Narcotics. 4. Everybody

9:52 -:-

Good live album,but it sounds like a bootleg. Yessongs was the same.Terribile sound.
