Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.
Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.
The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.

They belonged in the hall of fame many years ago, but the clowns that run that organization wouldn't know great talent like ELP if it came up and bit them in their collective asses !! Now Keith Emerson and Greg Lake are gone and they will probably wait until Carl Palmer joins them before they admit them ! EFF THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF "SHAME" !!!!!!!!!!!

I think the existing R7R HOF should be ignored and replaced w/ another that focuses on the musicality of rock & rock ONLY. No Michael Jackson, etc., etc. No pop - no rap crap. R & R, soul, blues and I may be missing something but you get the idea. And it Must have nothing to do w/ RS Ragazine. They told Steve Miller that he isn't even rock and roll. Huh? They are sell out who only look at the charts and proceed accordingly. Do you know how many #1s Yes has had. 1. And they barely squeaked in after 48 years. So to me it's essentially a non entity. They are a closed mind.

Carl Palmer:: We did record a video for “Fanfare…” at the Montreal Olympic stadium.... It was something like 20 degrees below, it was extremely cold. We managed to shoot three times - a few cameras on one person, a whole take, the same on the next guy, the same on the next guy - and then one take of all of us playing together. But it was very, very cold. The music has lasted, though, it has endured and it’s been truly fantastic. I mean, quality always lasts, and I sincerely believe that we had a lot of quality going there - we weren’t just a prog band, we had pretty songs as well. So it was quite eclectic.

Given the fact that hip hop artists were inducted to the RRHOF while bands like Yes were only added posteriorly and after the public protested that they weren't already, I think I wouldn't bother if I were a member in a band as great as ELP or, say, Genesis. This museum only bears its name because it was originally given that; it has long become anything but that. It may soothe your ego, but other than that, it's nothing more than a box on your bucket list you can thus tick.

The RARHOF is a scam, pure and simple. It is a political nightmare made up of screwy judgmental narcissistic trash who wouldn't have a clue as to who should be in a "hall of fame." All of these great artists are famous, so they are in a much more legitimate hall of fame. Real fame, not some decision made by idiots looking for money.

@@guywhite1004 preservation usually is done best by taking every chance you got. Getting it out there on as many mediums as possible is the best way. History has shown time and time again that the best chance of preservation is through fame/being known. If a piece of art/culture, be it a story, a legend or music is well-known there will be people who will care for it and cherish it. Those people will make sure it will live throughout the ages, in whatever format or medium there is. It won't always be ideal, but it will be there. Which is a Heck of a lot better than absolute majority of humanities musical history. Most, almost everything actually is gone forever and we don't even know what we have lost. The ability to record music as sound is a very recent thing if you look at it from a human timeline scale.

The real crime with ELP is that that 2 of them have already passed away before being inducted into the R&R HOF. The Hall has become a joke when groups like Kiss and Melissa Etheridge get in before Progressive rock bands such as ELP, the Moody Blues, Kansas and Jethro Tull. The enormous body of their work was incredible and the talent and creativity of these groups will never be appreciated now.

@saccola8780 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Jim, saw your comment about HOF and have to comment. It truly is a shame ELP was snubbed for decades, just like the Moody Blues, but finally, they were inducted this year. And...an effort has been started to get ELP nominated this year (inducted in 2019). And -- it CAN happen!!!! I have been involved in this effort personally: I talked to a HOF museum curator in January 2018 & started rolling with it, so I know everything that has happened since & that the effort is gaining momentum and also starting to get support from some VERY important people. I myself reached out to many, many music industry editors, journalists, critics, magazines and book authors in the US and UK, and also contacted drum, organ and guitar companies in the US and UK. But it still helps to have people like yourself send in a letter, stating what ELP meant to you. In the end, it isn't about the HOF (though it is their institution); it is about "the band" and their loved ones. Think about young Ethan Emerson, who, at only 12 years old, shows he is already a very gifted player. He, among others, is carrying on part of that legacy, so that's why it is so important that we remind the HOF of just who ELP was, what they were about, and how they STILL influence/affect us, this many years later. Then, get ready for October 2018, when DAILY voting for the nominees starts. Thanks!!!

@jimduccilli1381 6 жыл бұрын

Thank God that there are people like you who appreciate the incredible contribution to music that they made, and that at least Pink Floyd and the Moody Blues have made it in. I hope you're correct about ELP making it, and Jethro Tull deserves it just as much as ELP. I can't believe that there's an organized effort to get Devo into the HOF. If all it takes is to wear flower pots for hats we're all doomed.

@@ernestogasulla7763 Knowing what he said about it, I have wanted to make sense of the middle part. I see it as a ELP's time stamp for the type of music and technology existing at that time, in the 1970's. Especially Emerson's keyboard work, he gives a demonstration here of all the effects he can produce with his state-of-the-art setup. Classical music is always assigned to a time period, and I think the middle of their performance tied it to the era. I'm curious what Copeland might have had to say about that.

Part of an interview with Greg Lake: LAKE: I remember we were rehearsing in a basement beneath the Olympic stadium. It was the only place large enough to fit the whole orchestra in to rehearse. A phone call came in and I had to go up and take it, and everybody took a coffee break. So during that break I took the elevator up to the ground floor, which actually took me to the Olympic stadium. We had just heard that they wanted to release it as a single. My initial reaction was like, 'Well, no, we're too busy doing the rehearsals with the orchestra.' And I went up to the stadium and I was looking at this absolutely mind-blowing site, covered in virgin snow, with the Olympic rings lit up in neon lights at both ends. It was an eerie sight, begging for something to happen, and I thought, ‘Video.’ We got the crew to move the gear up to the stadium the next day to start recording. Of course, what we didn’t plan was for it to be way below zero. My fingers would literally slip through the strings. So we had to record it in fairly short bursts, but it was a lovely film in the end.

We keep losing great musicians from that era all recently, Graham Edge, Paul Cotton, Rusty Young, Lyle Mays( my 2nd fav keyboard player of all time) and Alan White of Yes just this week! But the music lives on forever! I'm from Wisconsin, how bout you? Stay well, Jon.

As a big fan of classic music, I must say that Keith Emerson had a great sense of balance. He understands Classic music best among all the progressive rock players.

@@guymarsault7264 I love early Genesis more than ELP as a band to be honest. Stuff like Supper's ready is just mind blowing. Yet I still have to give Keith Emerson the most credit for understanding Classic music. All the other keyboard players merely "used" some elements of Classic music to add some colors to the sound, (so it's easy to peel that off), but Keith "expressed" classic music in Rock. Totally intergraded. It's not like he was influenced. He was in it. A rare talent.

Part rock 'n' roll, part classical, part jazz, part electronica - but the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. My parents played this "on repeat" back in the 70's when it came out. I didn't understand at the time why; I do now. So good.
