My first rock concert was Emerson Lake and Palmer, in 1974. My brother took me, and now I'm amazed that my parents let me go to that show since I was only 13. I think it had to do with my parents' taste in music. They weren't fond of Hendrix, the Stones, or even Janis Joplin... but when they heard ELP, well this is brilliant modern classical music that will still sound great 200 years from now! Imagine if you will, being 13 years old, at my first rock concert, and watching Keith at work, with his massive array of keyboards and tech perched atop a platform, slowly rising above the stage, with smoke and fire and lightning and magic... It was life altering! My Gob was permanently smacked, and my Gast flabbered!!😳

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Karn Evil 9" is an extended work by progressive rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer, appearing on the album Brain Salad Surgery. A futuristic fusion of rock and classical themes, it was written by band members Keith Emerson and Greg Lake with former King Crimson lyricist Peter Sinfield. It is the fifth and final track on Brain Salad Surgery and, with a running length of 29 minutes and 37 seconds, is Emerson, Lake & Palmer's longest studio recording. The initial release of the album on vinyl split "Karn Evil 9" between the two sides due to its length, with a fade out/fade in between First Impression Parts 1 and 2. The phrase "Karn Evil" is sound-alike (homophonous) with the word "carnival". The story of "Karn Evil 9" is told in three parts, with the second part being an instrumental interlude. First Impression, Part 1 begins with a tale of a bleak world (although timeframe is not specified): "Cold and misty morning I heard a warning borne on the air ..." and where humanity is either being destroyed or has fallen into decay and helplessness. First Impression, Part 2 tells how the decadence of the old world is preserved through exhibits that are part of a futuristic carnival show, which exhibits depravities like "seven virgins and a mule", along with things that are rare in the future, such as a "real blade of grass". Unlike the rest of "Karn Evil", the Second Impression's instrumentation is primarily piano, bass, and drums with a solo by Emerson on a Minimoog set to imitate a steelpan. (Part of the solo very briefly quotes the main melody from Sonny Rollins's "St. Thomas". This impression changes from an upbeat out-of-control tune to a slow interval and then picks up the pace with a structure similar to that of a sonata. It is allegedly about computers scheming against the humans, and the humans completely not suspecting this.[citation needed] The Third Impression continues the story begun in the first, describing a war between humans and computers, which can be interpreted in three different ways. One interpretation gives the victory to the humans, who reimpose their dominion over the computers. The second interpretation allows victory to the computers, claiming that the computers were successful in dominating the humans and let them live only for the sake of gloating. The third interpretation, consistent with Peter Sinfield's original interpretation that "what [Man had] invented ironically takes him over" has humans winning a war with the help of computers, only to find the computers taking over in the moment of victory.

I guess this concerns the individual characteristics present in acoustic and electric instruments that arise from wear, small manufacturing differences and circumstances (humidity, temperature). They may be considered undesirable imperfections (or not), but I think it's important to note that difference with electronic music (though of course digital music eventually has to be converted to analog).

Just last night (7/24/24) I saw Carl Palmer open for Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Carl appears to have lost nothing, even at 74. It was interesting in that he had two younger musicians supporting, a guitarist (NOT a keyboard player) and a bass player, but also played live along to old live clips of Keith and Greg who were "present' by means of large screens on either side. Carl also did one of the most original and creative drum solos I have heard; fresh and absent of cliches. Knowing, of course that Keith and Greg have left us, I went in not sure of what to expect....I was very impressed with what I saw and heard, as was my 17-year old grandson, a budding guitarist himself. But, in response to your comment, Jon exclaimed at one point during his set, "This music is over 50 years old! And you are still here!!" That brought some laughter and wild cheering from the crowd.

Because Keith Emerson could play his instrument unlike the punk scene. He had learned to master his craft whereas they thought it was not necessary to make a musical statement. In a way they were the antithesis of progressive rock perhaps punk should have been called regressive rock. Actually good things did come out of punk rock largely ironically out of instruments that Keith Emerson mastered keyboards i.e. synthesizers - think of Human League, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, U2, Flock of Seagulls, Stranglers, Kraftwerk

One year, my uncle asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told him I didn't want anything big or fancy, and that I would be happy with a gift card. He gave me a google play card. I was really getting into prog rock, and google recommended this album. I had never heard it before, but I had read the reviews, so I decided to get it. When I listened to it, I knew I had made the right choice. But it wasn't until Karn Evil 9 transitioned from 1st to 2nd impression that I realized that this is the album where the "Welcome back my friends" song came from. That is why I can honestly say that that gift card is one of the greatest birthday gifts anyone ever gave me.

(Im just messing with you lol none of these bands match ELP or Yes. They're all better! But ELP and Yes are also better than all these bands, weirdly enough. That's the beauty of music, it's not a competition and you can have bands with completely different instruments, training, genres, complete polar opposite ways of life (Zappa and Davis for example) and yet ALL of their music can take you to that same ecstatic place at the center of the universe (if you listen actively), and once you're in that place long enough youll start to have insane epiphanies and premonitions that all come true (aka intuition, not necessarily supernatural) and if you play music yourself youll start to develop the "universal tone" (coined by Santana) which is something all great musicians have, as well as the "hose" ability (another Santana term, this is a peak improvisational skill where the music appears effortless - like water through a hose - but achieves devastating results. It's simultaneously impossible to pull off and easier than breathing) Both of these together creates what appears in the moment to be "the greatest thing to ever happen" and can be used in any genre of music (as they transcend genre).

When I was a senior in high school (75'), we were able to put any kind of quote that we wanted around our graduation picture. I chose "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends." I would do the same thing all over again if I had to.

I bought this (E)LP for my brother when released. He had custom built speakers. Couldn't wait to get home from school, creep into his bedroom and play this. Extraordinary, brilliant, an OMG musical zeitgeist. Three brilliant musicians.

[Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Part 1] Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare, Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold. I'll be there I'll be there I will be there. Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed. They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way. Praying for survival at the end of the day. There is no compassion for those who stay. I'll be there I'll be there I will be there There must be someone who can set them free: To take their sorrow from this odyssey To help the helpless and the refugee To protect what's left of humanity. Can't you see Can't you see Can't you see I'll be there I'll be there I will be there; To heal their sorrow To beg and borrow Fight tomorrow. --- Step inside! Hello! We've a most amazing show You'll enjoy it all we know Step inside! Step inside! We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks. Leave your hammers at the box Come inside! Come inside! Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! See the show! Left behind the bars, rows of Bishops' heads in jars And a bomb inside a car Spectacular! Spectacular! If you follow me there's a speciality Some tears for you to see Misery, misery, Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! See the show! Next upon the bill in our House of Vaudeville We've a stripper in a till What a thrill! What a thrill! And not content with that, With our hands behind our backs, We pull Jesus from a hat, Get into that! Get into that! Roll up! Roll up! Roll up! See the show! [Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Part 2] Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass Be careful as you pass, move along, move along Come inside, the show's about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart Rest assured you'll get your money's worth Greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies Come inside, the show's about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of vaseline Will perform on guillotine, what a scene, what a scene Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand To Alexander's Ragtime Band, Dixieland, Dixieland Roll up, roll up, roll up See the show Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool Seven virgins and a mule, keep it cool, keep it cool We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown Were exclusively our own, all our own, all our own Come and see the show, come and see the show Come and see the show See the show [Karn Evil 9 2nd Impression] [instrumental] [Karn Evil 9 3rd Impression] Man alone, born of stone, Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul; Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold. Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears its hideous head Dread... Death... in the wind... Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night; Draws a blade of compassion Kissed by countless Kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight. Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed... Dust... in the wind... No man yields who flies in my ship Danger! Let the bridge computer speak Stranger! Load your program. I am yourself. No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a nuclear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn. Rejoice! Glory is ours! Our young men have not died in vain, Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names. I am all there is Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live! But I gave you life What else could you do? To do what was right I'm perfect! Are you?

In my opinion, there will never in my lifetime ever be music of this caliper of greatness and creativity. The 60's and 70's decades have so much to offer. In my lifetime I will never hear any music this good. I have tried the new generations music with an open mind and it is like comparing a paper bag with a square cut out with clear plastic as a window to the Empire State building in New York city.

I have an open mind to any music and have tried with an open mind to listen to the new generations music and I think a great abundance of it stinks. I don't even take it seriously as far as the musicianship is concerned. The masses typically are lacking the ability to discern whether or not a musical creation has any substance or not. Back in the 60's and 70's it was simply incredible the creations that came about. Maybe drugs played a roll in it and if drugs did it , it worked. There is virtually nothing that came out in the 60's and 70's that I did not think was fabulous. I love the guitar when played a certain way. I have a love for the blues.

There are still some fantastic bands around these days, they just, as somebody else said, receive little airplay. Bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Transatlantic, and many, many others, continue to create progressive rock that I believe is at least equal to this magnificent song.

This is a stupid thing to say. There is still great music made today but you're looking in the wrong places. If you like this kind of stuff you should really check out some jazz fusion musicians.
@KirkSH5210 жыл бұрын
Jazz is great even the new jazz but the kids don't know anything about that music. The main stream is a bunch of ignorant folk unaware of what good music is. But, the facts do remain that the music of the 60's and 70's was far greater than the new wave crap of today. I always challenge people on this. I say "Let's have a game of war. You state a band and then I will state a band and let's see who wins this card game." You can put up any band past 1990 and I will throw my first card, The Beatles. I just won that hand. OK, now lets go to the second hand. I will through out "The Who". I won that one. Then I will through out "The Doors". Another win. Then I will through out "The Rolling Stones". Then I will through "Led Zeppelin", "The Grateful Dead", , "Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble", "Jimi Hendrix", "Carlos Santana", "The Allman Brothers Band", "The Kinks", "The Doobie Brothers", "Lynard Skynard", "Steppenwolf", "Three Dog Night", "The Moody Blues", "Rush" , "Eric Clapton" - how could I forget! and on and on and on and on and on. When I go to the gym to workout, I am forced to listen to the new generations music and man does it stink. I would rather listen to nothing then that crap.

Rest in Peace, Greg Lake. Thanks for the influence. It is all because of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer that I am a musician (drummer). I decided on a whim to wear my Tarkus T-shirt today and found out later that Mr. Lake had died. Weird connection. May the unknown God bless him.

Every time I listen to this I'm brought back to high school. Listening on my buddy's monster stereo system - speakers as big as steamer trunks. God I loved the 70's - you could move a house with a stereo. This album was massive and sounds great even at rocket engine volume.
