That crazy sound at the end is a Moog synthesizer. Keith Emerson was an unreal keyboardist, the whole band are master musicians.

One of the most beautiful songs ever made featuring Greg Lake on bass, guitars and angelic vocals RIP ✌❤🙏 THIS is a song made for headphones

You guys are smashing most of the competition,by the material you listen to. You are so comforting to watch. I love you guys big time. Thanks for doing this one.

This song's 50 years old. 1972! RIP both Keith Emerson and Greg Lake

I'm 62, I grew up with ELP, my prize group, it's nice to see young people like you who recognize the level of quality of ELP music, enjoy

Greg Lake, one of Thee best rock vocalists. Ever. RIP Greg.

Great song, needless to say. If ever there was a song that literally transports you, this is it. EL&P has a pretty large catalog of good songs. We appreciate Y'ALL !!!

They are classically trained master musicians and I love Greg Lake's voice. Still You Turn Me On, next please

That sound you couldn't ID is Keith Emerson on keyboards. It made me smile to see y'all smile to song I've been loving for a long time.

That is a "synthesizer" played with the organ/Keyboards. It gives a totally different sound to the keyboards. In 1971, when this was recorded, the "Moog Synthesizer" was a new technology in music. It soon was being used by many different Bands, and still is today.,

RIP Keith Emerson, arguably one of the greatest keyboardists ever

Lucky Man and Still You Turn Me On are two similar ELP songs you'd really enjoy. The have a number of other more complex, progressive songs that are amazing, but are more of an acquired taste.

ELP was a three-man Band from England. They are still today regarded as one of the great progressive/fusion Rock Bands ever. Top shelf musicians, all of them. This is from about 1971, I think. Great song. Another is called "Lucky Man."

The late Greg Lake had one of the best voices in rock n roll.Im surprised yall didn't notice.The sound you were questioning is a moog synthesizer keyboard.The late Keith Emerson was a keyboard master....he could play anything with a keyboard.

They were one of the finest concerts I’ve ever seen. Pioneers of Progressive Rock. Just 3 guys with Keith Emerson doing bass, electric guitar etc, all on keyboards!

ELP… One of the best groups of the 70s and that was a great decade for a lot of good music, and they were a part of it this is a great rabbit hole to go down

One of the earliest uses of a synthesizers ( Keith Emerson) by a major group.

That is Greg Lake on acoustic, electric guitar and bass

You should react to LUCKY MAN by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Greg Lake was 12 years old when he wrote it. The song contains one of rock music's earliest instances of a Moog synthesizer solo. Greg Lake died in December of 2016, he was one of the most talented musicians of his era.

One of my all-time favorites and always soothing to play on guitar! I love her calling the synth solo sound at the end "a buzz whistle". KE was killing it already with Moog and later with ARP synths using those fat analog oscillators and sweet glissando settings where the larger the interval, the longer the glide...BRILLIANT playing to utilize that. And about Greg Lake...soulful singer/song writer of this, and many others - GREAT underrated guitar work and played a lot of bass guitar live to support KE jamming. So cool to have them discover this song...one of the first to grab my ears attention on the radio during the summer of 1972 when I would lay on the living room floor next to our old console stereo unit at low volume after my parents went to bed. All these great songs coming out late at night in arguably the most creative period of time for popular music. ELP, YES, Moody Blues, CSNY, Jethro Tull, Beatles + their solo work, etc. I feel very fortunate to have been coming of age back then in simpler times, absorbing all the amazing artistry which led me to become a professional musician. Fine legacy from GL and all the great early artists from the 70's!

This is basically Lake and Lake with some Emerson and Palmer thrown un at the end. A showcase for Greg, (it''s amazing.)

Guys!! What a great choice. One of my favorite songs by 3 brilliant musicians.

Keith Emerson was the mater of the keyboards. His Moog Synthesizer was actually built by Moog.

I almost forgot there's a cool thing that happened many years ago there was this young girl who is really talented a child prodigy and she heard Keith Emerson's music and learned most of his songs and she became a big hit on KZfaq her name is Rachel Flowers anyhow this girl is blind and sometimes with the situation like that the mind is focused on the other sensory input so she can hear all the different sounds and all the chords and Melodies and everything so that she could learn all that music anyhow Keith Emerson found out about this girl when he got the great idea of sending her all of his old synthesizers so she could get those sounds when she played his music and something really inspiring is that Ray Charles actually went and visited this girl and mentored her and gave her encouragement which I thought was so awesome she was planning a live performance and playing one of Keith Emerson's great songs and she broke down and cried because he had passed away just recently it was really touching to see that she's done a lot of really cool stuff she's played with Frank Zappa's son who is continuing to play his dad's music his name is Dweezil he is really talented himself I recently saw this little clip where they have this band from the 70s that nobody knows about albeit a very few the name of the band is gentle giant and they had some of their original members and other people all collaborating and doing one of their songs and Rachel was in there playing some keyboards alright you crazy kids I'll take you on the next reaction

Keith Emerson (keyboards) was a classically trained musician

There’s nothing like a smooth acoustic guitar in a mellow song. This has been one of my favorites since it first came out.

ELP has a very unique sound, mostly due to being a 3 member group and heavily featuring keyboards/piano. ELP and Yes were two of the biggest prog rock groups of the 70's and both have many great songs for you to get into.

My favorite song to hear at the party's back in the 70's and when ever this song would play, most of us would whistle to the end part of this song, such good memories ✌😉

This song was, is, and always will be magical. ✨✨

BJ, what a great way way of describing their music!

ELP were a classic band with many great songs, including Father Christmas, one of the best modern Christmas songs. Others would be Lucky Man, Still You Turn Me On, Fanfare For the Common Man, and Hoedown. Keith Emerson, the keyboard player, pioneered the newly invented Moog Synthesizer. His first attempt was brilliant on Lucky Man!

I played this over and over again when this came out. One of my all time favorites. 👍❤🤙

Love this progressive rock supergroup from the 70's. They had a unique sound that included classical music with jazz & symphonic rock elements. Also loved their use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer & piano. Their sound is like no other band. One of my favorite songs by them is "Fanfare For The Common Man" - Live at Nassau Coliseum '78. Sadly both Keith Emerson & Greg Lake died in 2016, leaving only Carl Palmer.

Love ELP! grew up with this music in a different decade! We were so blessed to live during the '70's and such great music.

Keith Emerson, Greg Lake & Carl Palmer are one of the preeminent Prog Rock bands of the '70s, Try more of them such as Lucky Man, old Genesis such as Firth of Fifth and Yes such as Starship Trooper for comparable sounding tracks. Prog is notable for different time signatures and experimental type instrumentation.

Progressive rock at its finest. These were/are three absolutely brilliant musicians, unlike everyone else. Keith Emerson was the god of the keyboards.

This is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar. 😊

ELP was my favorite band in my college days. Keith Emerson was a classically trained pianist who do absolutely amazing things with keyboards. Karl Palmer was not a drummer, he was a percussionist. He played with more than just a drum kit, he was surrounded by gongs and kettle drums and...and..and... Greg Lake was an amazing guitarist who had a beautiful voice as well. The summer I graduated from college I saw them in concert 5 times in 5 different cities. I wasn't following them, they just happened to be in the cities where I was visiting friends before beginning my life as an adult with a real job. They started the tour with a complete orchestra, but it got too expensive, and by the end of the tour it was just the 3 of them. that would have been the summer of 1977. They have one whole album based on the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. I probably listened to that album a thousand times. Lucky Man is a must listen if you enjoyed From the Beginning. (And I agree, they are nothing like ELO)

EMMERSON, LAKE, AND PALMER., "FROM THE BEGINNING".. One of the most iconic bands of the 70'S from England. Greg Lake was on the acoustic guitar and vocals. Keith Emmerson keyboardist, and moog synthesizer. Robert Palmer a most underrated drummers. Saw them 1997 with another iconic band Jethro Tull. Truly one of the best concerts ever. Both Lake, and Emmerson have since passed into rock and roll heaven. I was blessed to witness both these bands brilliance. More..."C'EST LA VIE", "STILL YOU TURN ME ON", "KARN EVIL 9", "FAN FARE FOR THE COMMON MAN", "TARKUS".

One of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar. ELP are one of the voices of the 70's, progressive rock at its best. Check out _Karn Evil 9_ for some of their best, most colorful lyrics and great music. :)

One ofmy fave songs ever, just magical. I amabout to turn 60 and nevdr get tired of this song. Feel so lucky I grew up taking in all the music from late '60s on,such a plethora of musical riches through the 70s and 80s and loved me some grunge in the 90s...music has been one of the greatest gifts mankind ever received from the universe or God or whichever label one chooses to attribute to such a sublime part of being alive.

Still one of the most unique bands of all time. Dive deep into their catalog. It is unbelievable. Karn Evil 9 would be way too much.

Good choice to start you off with these guys. It's one of their more easily accessible pieces. Some of their stuff,genius as it is,can be a little difficult to wrap your head around at first listen. But definitely worth working up to. I would go something like Lucky Man or for a fun instrumental romp Hoedown as my next exposure to them. Great reaction.

Love ELP, they are my favorite Prog band. I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times in the 70's. Great musicians, great music and a lot of great songs. Check out the "Brain Salad Surgery" song lists, great record. Keith Emerson on organs Greg Lake- vocals and guitars Carl Palmer- on drums/ percussion

This is Prog Rock, kind of a mix of jazz, rock and usually a classical background. Many musicians in this type of music had classical music training and were willing to go out on the edge instead of making pop music for the masses. Keith Emerson was a wild and inventive keyboard player (synthesizer in this case). Greg Lake was a master guitarist and often played this in his solo concerts as well. Carl Palmer is still with us as one of the great percussionists in music. They used to travel with 3 semi trucks of equipment from show to show and the grand setup would be Palmer surrounded by a huge drum kit with many cymbals and even a gong. Keith Emerson would have several keyboards around him (much like Rick Wakeman of YES) and Greg Lake would use a variety of guitars. Other PROGROCK groups would be YES, Rush, (sometimes) Moody Blues, and a few others.

3 of the best musicians to inhabit one band ever. They were absolutely incredible LIVE. If you get a chance check out Fanfare For The Common Man. If you do choose to hear that song, give a listen to the version from Shea Stadium where they are doing soundcheck for a concert. It will show how good they were & how they got the sounds they made.

We were lucky to grow up with such wonderful musicians. Keyboard was a Moog synth.

Another band you should check out is "Asia" The were formed from members of EL&P, Yes, and King Crimson. Despite those three bands being the kings of progressive 70's rock Asia had a very 80's sound to them. One of my very favorite bands.

ELP was my steady diet in my last year of high school. It's when the modern version of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms got together and formed a progressive rock supergroup. Keith Emerson was Mozart, doing amazing things on organ, piano, and "synthesizer" which was coming to the forefront at that time. There is no other group to which you can compare. ELO were a pop group. ELP were modern classical fusion rock. Asia is spot on in her analysis!!!

This is one of my all time favorite songs...creativity and imagination ...music that transports you to somewhere else.....every now and then you find this in music.....

The first time I saw them in the Spring of '72 it was the first concert I saw with four channel sound and created spacial effects with their music. That buzz circled around the venue. They were also the first to travel with a Moog Analog Synthesizer and were instrumental in the development of synthesizers.

That beautiful voice is Greg Lake, he's also playing that incredible guitar. I suggest listening to Still You Turn Me On, its another of his songs. All three musicians were mastésof their instruments. A Moog synthesizer is the sound you question. The keyboard played by Keith Emerson was amazing.

Wow. What a song. Timeless and gorgeous!

They were primarily known as a progressive rock band, with dazzling musical chops. They could switch gears from taking the top of your head off with amazing playing and showmanship, to gorgeous, sweet acoustic ballads such as this - stuff like this is the influence of Greg Lake, vocals/bass/guitar. If you would like an action-packed four-minute slice of what they were really all about, you've got to find the live version of "Hoedown" from 1973.

Love ELP. If you want to hear a beautiful song try "Trilogy" by ELP. Keith Emerson is a master on organ, piano and synthesizer. Greg Lake is on vocals, acoustic and bass.

Love this band! Their early live videos in the 70s are wonderful to watch.❤️

For a band that was as ferocious as ELP was, the sutly of this recording is sublime

The ELP drummer, Carl Palmer later went on to found the super group "Asia" with John Wetton from King Crimson and Steve Howe from the band Yes with others. Check out their song "Only Time Will Tell" and you can hear the influences from the other bands.

I saw ELP in 1977 they had a 58 piece orchestra with them, it was pretty amazing. I had never seen anything quite like that up to that point. They eventually ended up having to drop the orchestra for financial reasons. I miss those days and all the great bands we used to go see.

I really have to compliment you both. When you said it’s like a beautiful symphony. That was such a deep statement. Bravo 😎

Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) used a Moog synthesizer

The story about this song recording is that Keith Emerson (Keyboards) didn't like it when Greg Lake played it on the acoustic as a bare bones tune, so he said he was going to get something to eat and left. Greg and Carl Palmer (drummer) stayed and had it finished by the time Keith returned, he listened to it, liked it and said he should put his moog synthesizer on, that's why his contribution is at the end. This is called Prog music, like Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, etc.

That's a Moog synthesizer. Cool, huh? This progressive sound is my favorite. It does put you in a zone, and it just takes you.

takes me back... still remember when I first heard this album - head up against the family stereo to get the full volume! Yeah they were unique and absolute musical giants. Aaron Copeland the famed classical composer even endorsed ELP's version of his "Fanfare for the Common Man"

The beginning of rock & jazz fusion, a natural evolution... Youngins, a MOOG synthesizer can create almost any sound you can dream of. Nxt time you're near a piano/keyboard store, ask for a demonstration. The Guitar Center is a good place to research the sound of synthesized music.

One of my all time favorites.

Greg’s guitar on this is sublime. Anyway, must be “c’est la vie” next 😊

That sound was a Moog synthesizer. ELP were leaders of 70s Progressive (Prog) Rock. Keith Emerson on Piano & Keyboards/ Greg Lake on Vocals, bass & guitars & Carl Palmer on Drums & percussions. Listen to "Lucky Man", "Still, You Turn Me On". The song "Trilogy" shows Emerson's piano skills well.

Mood Synth keyboard. All Analog, Computer. Very hi tech for the day. All the musicians like Yes were schooled. In the day, they were considered very progressive right their with YES. We were really spoiled early 70's. Progressive rock, long form jams, 70's am radio then then Disco later 77-80. Amazing.

In case you don't know, This is a Big Time Classic Prog band with many really Long songs full of Virtuoso instrument playing of Keyboards, Drums and Bass with many song adapted from Classical music. They have one short slow mellow song on each album and this is the one on their third album Trilogy with was a hit in 1972'.

This was an amazing, eclectic super group. Greg Lake played guitars, bass and did all the vocals. He came out out the prog rock group King Crimson. Keith Emerson handled keyboards and synthesizers of all types, he was previously in The Nice. Carl Palmer handled drums and percussion, he'd been in Atomic Rooster and toured with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and later was in the group Asia. The music covered a wide range from acoustic to western, music hall, classical, progressive rock. 'Lucky Man' was a hit for them, very similar to this song. My favorite track is the 10 min. 'Pirates'. 'Karn Evil 9' you may have heard, it opens with "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends." Sadly we lost both Emerson and Lake in 2016.

If you go down the ELP rabbithole you will amazed...jazz, blues, rock, classical adaptations nascent metal...everything and fusions thereof. i followed Greg Lake when he left King Crimson in 1970 and ELP has been my top band ever since. And they are even more amazing live. They wrote their stuff specifically for doing it live. If you continue I recommend starting with the premier album and proceed from there. Their music flows and changes album to album. You wont be disappointed.

Another great 70s Progressive Rock band.Very unique indeed.There will never be musicians of such talent as were those produced in the 1970s.

OMG!.. killer song.. Love Greg Lake!..RIP🙏🏻

Keith Emerson was an awesome key boarding, they were ahead of their time.

Welcome to one of the premier progressive rock bands. They are keith Emerson, keyboards, Greg Lake, guitars, and Carl palmer drums. They were at the forefront of the progressive movement in the 70s. You need to try Lucky Man and Fanfare for the Common Man.

Keith Emerson (keyboards & synths), Greg Lake (vocals, guitars & bass guitar), and Carl Palmer (drums & percussion). They were in the progressive rock genre of the 1970s. They were pioneers of that genre along with Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Yes , King Crimson and Genesis. Great music. Progressive rock was basically rock music fused with jazz, psychadelic & classical music. I'd love to see you react to Yes. "Roundabout", "Siberian Khatru", or "Starship Trooper" is a good start. From ELP try reacting to "The Barbarian", "Lucky Man", "The Endless Enigma", or "Still...You Turn Me On".

Asia and BJ, you both are right actually. I think Asia was putting emphasis on the fact that the quirky sounds are different with ELO than they are with ELP, but the point BJ was making was the fact that both ELO and ELP, experiment with multiple different sounds in general, regardless of whether or not they sound the same. The perfect example and a great next reaction would be to ELO - Strange Magic. It's LIT with those mystical instrumentations that you both will enjoy! I surprised this has not already been recommended. It is a WHOLE vibe! 💗💗

Keith Emerson invented the concept of synthesizers, and had Dr. Moog custom-build the first ones for him. I recommend you put ELP's Tarkus on your list, that will blow you out of your chair. Keep in mind that this is a TRIO - guitar and drums, and everything else is synthesizer. Greg Lake on the vocals was previously the voice of King Crimson. Their album The Court Of The Crimson King is worth a vid.

If you get a chance, they do a version of "Fanfare of the Common Man" which they played at the Super Bowl. The recording of them Warming up before the game is phenomenal. And it became the theme song for Monday Day Night Football for years. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer were sort of like Pre-Rush.

You'll like the guitar work...

Hey guys, you are hearing a synthesizer, played by Kieth Emerson, with Greg Lake on vocals & guitars, & Carl Palmer on drums! One of the 1st bands to incorporate the synthesizers of Keith Emerson. Moody Blues used mellatron, though ELP took synthesized music to the next level. Saw them in May '71, Keith was quite the performer, the music was great, really new to our ears at that time! Keep on...

From the beginning is a journey to the beginning of things, an ELP masterpiece...

Love that you youngins are listening to music from my era I lived an awesome time of music glad there are thoes who can still appreciate it

This is your smooth relaxed sounds of the early seventies, acoustic guitars, organ, synthesisers ,nice to chill and absorb this slow rock , blues and folk sounds, music well manned by true artists.

I love how the "from the beginning" line comes in off the beat, whatever that is called.

It's a lot to take in the first time. I get lost in their music. It takes me on a long, magical trip. I hope that y'all will explore all of their music. I enjoyed watching y'all hear it for the first time! There is SO much amazing music from the 60's and 70's that younger people haven't heard.

Prog at its best, like Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush, King Crimson, and A few others, Keith Emerson on keyboards of all types including the moog synthesizer, is the Hendrix of the keys, Greg Lake on vocals, guitar and bass and Carl Palmer on drums are a genre of their own. They are amazing, try Lucky Man, Trilogy, Knife Edge and the Tarkus suite, great songs and music. Enjoy! 🎹

Emerson Lake and Palmer live 1997 Montreux Jazz Festival pictures at an Exhibition or Tarkus ✌🏼❤️🇺🇦

ELP was the bridge between the Psychedelic era into the technological era of music. They were one of the first to use a synthesizer in music and one of the first groups to showcase their proficiency on the instruments. They had a big effect on the direction of music at the time and used the latest technology of the time. Thats why you cant really place it in a category. Really ground breaking.

One of my favorite songs to play on the guitar. A great tune

Flashback.. 1972… I was 7 from a small farm town in indiana. My brothers were both college age,I hear this coming out of one of their bedrooms while home visiting from college. Instantly fell in love with the sound of the moog synthesizer on this song. If you loved the sound of this prog rock band you would also enjoy the track “lucky man” by them.. Having brothers that much older had its advantages. I was getting lost in “the dark side of the moon” by pink floyd not long after this with full ear headphones on and spreading my advanced knowledge of music to other kids as young as me… take me back…. I miss the diversity of the 60’s 70’s and even the 80’s and 90’s… you have to search fairly hard these days to find anything remotely interesting that did get played out 20 yrs ago. Nice review!

When you get bands that are lists of names it is usually a sign that the musicians were previously in other bands. In this case Emerson was from a band called The Nice, mostly forgotten now, probably best known for their instrumental version of America from West Side Story. They are worth seeing live because Emerson was wild on keyboards, using knives to hold notes, playing from over the top of the keyboards. They did a mix of silly songs and classical covers. Lake was an original member of King Crimson, the band that invented progressive rock. Palmer drummed in some less popular bands, and I'm not sure he ever made it on an album. This is a Greg Lake song. They are actually prettier and more conventional. Keith Emerson songs tend to be more wild. And there are few sounds that Emerson couldn't make with his synthesizers. To get a taste of him, when I was growing up their signature song had the ungainly title of Karn Evil 9 1st Impression part 2. But it was better knows as "Welcome Back My Friends". (The whole of Karn Evil 9 runs almost 30 minutes, but the popular part is only about 5-6 minutes). Progressive rock is definitely something different.

This band is 3 of the most amazing musicians who created a groundbreaking set of music that few could come close to replicating. Some of their music did not work, but when it worked. . .wow! The best works that you might want to check out are Lucky Man (with the deepest and soul-drenching bass in a song), Still. . .You Turn Me On (a shockingly-for-them stripped down and beautiful love song), Hoedown (a wonderful take on a traditional folk song from way back when), and Karn Evil 9 (a mind-blowing use of Moog synthesizers). I love your takes on this beautiful song you analyzed and really look forward to more ELP!

Make no mistake, ELP can blow out your eardrums! They did an absolutely gorgeous song in the later 70s called "Cest la Vie". I'd love to hear you react to that one.

Ten Years After's "I'd love to change the world" is another great song...Every time I hear this one, for some odd reason I think of that one..Don't ask me why.

Keith Emerson was on the keyboard playing a Moog synthesizer at the end of the song. I saw Emerson,Lake,and Palmer perform three times in my lifetime and they were great

Emerson Lake and Palmer inspired so many other bands including ELO, Styx,, and Yes. The drummer is probably the best drummer in the world their keyboard artist is probably the best keyboard artist in the world and the singer has an almost completely Flawless voice this is one band that is truly world-class. You should listen to their song Lucky Man still you turn me on and the entire album called pictures at an exhibition

All y'all need to know - Keith Emerson - piano, keyboards, composer Greg Lake - vocals, bass, acoustic & electric guitars, lyrics and producer Carl Palmer - drums, percussion and composer (mainly the song Tarkus). All masters of instrumentation and to think they were all in their 20's when they started in 1970! Keith 26, Greg 23 and Carl 20. I really enjoyed your reaction and look forward to seeing more. 🤘🏻❤️✌🏻

I seen this group laying on the beach in Puerto Rico at an outdoor three day concert at my favorite surfing beach.. It was wonderful.
