This is by FAR your most impressive cover. The greatest drummer to ever live combined with the greatest rock keyboardist along with tough vocals from a guy who played both the guitar and bass and somehow you guys pulled this off perfectly.

I like how the keyboardist is also a drummer, the female singer (not shown here) is also a keyboardist, the drummer in this vid is also a guitarist, and the bass player is also a guitarist and vocalist of immense talent. You really have it together and are reproducing some of the great prog music with magnificent sound quality and musical acumen of the highest order. But I do wish you had done the entire Karn Evil 9. Maybe some day.

relicofgold you missed out that the guitar & bass player (Ritchie Castellano) is also a keyboard player (Blue Oyster Cult). Multi talented people indeed! Kids, this is what you get starting music while you're still young!

I've seen imposters try to cover this with a 5 or 6 piece. You dudes killed it with the 3 piece and I mean killed it -- that Keith Emerson stuff on the solos where he modulates is very tough to transcribe (internally ) and get right. It was his own unique "outside" riffing and you guys nailed it note for note. Harder to do than a facsimile because of how hard what he did was. And you made it look effortless. Thank you.

As usual, y'all knocked it outta that park! Then Ive come to expect nothing less than stellar out of Richie and the boys (and girls, and guests, and everyone else associated with this kick ass band!) - only one miss, there was a measure missed in in the latter part of the track but if you didn't know the score or the charts, you'd never know it. Fabulous job guys - ELP was one of the reasons I started playing drums when this album first debuted, Interesting point - My pa, a renowned musical director, composer, performer, and has his place in the Canadian Encyclopedia of Music and Museum of Music, first heard ELP when i started playing and emulating this and called them the future of jazz... He also collaborated with Robert Moog in the creation of the first synths (had the big 3 box of VCO, VCA, Waveform generators etc., and a kybd/ribbon) much like KE

Someone commented they this is the best Yes cover band in history.. the problem is that this is the best Yes, ELP, Toto, and every other band in existence cover band in history... which actually makes it the best band. They are already the equal of the Wrecking Crew. If the put out original music they would kill it.
