RIP Greg

Sad state of music today. No innovation. No unique sound.

Mellotron!

Been ElP fan for many years & I enjoyed this video very much. So sad the Keith & Greg are no longer with us but blimey did they know how to make music.😢

What a gentleman. Sad he's gone.

Pictures at an Exhibition, one of my favorite ELP albums.

Awful album cover. Really good album. Terribly underrated,

ELP got me to Switched on Bach to appreciation of classical music.

Emerson got a Moog, Palmer electronic drums, and Lake a rug.😂

No other band like them. Not classic rock but classical rock.

Brain Salad Surgery best album cover ever by anyone.

I got to see ELP but Palmer was with Asia still so it was Cozy Powell. Made me sad.

Jimmy H. with ELP is beyond my imagination. Name HELP 😊.

Jimmy H. with ELP is beyond my imagination. Name HELP 😊.

Learning of Greg Lake writing Lucky Man, at the age of 12 is mind blowing! He had such a special voice.

I loved this documentary! It brings back fantastic memories of a fantastic time in life. It was a good laugh hearing them come up with different ELP acronyms. Everyone Loves Potatoes, Extra Large Parts, lol. Great.

Don’t want to rain on everyone’s parade but not all of this performance is being sung live.

Sei un grande della batteria palmer ❤😊

Love you Greg.... all I can say is Age is not kind to us.... wishing we could all look as we did at 24! Being just 12 when King Crimson was formed.... Now Greg is young again 💖

Execellent

did you know the director/drummer of the band is my director for the rma percussion ensemble in revere ma!

Greg Lake looked like Buddy Hackett in this interview.

They deserved everything they got. They work hard for that. People jealousy shows in their comments. Extraordinary musicians. ❤❤❤

I haven’t seen the show (yet,) but from what I can tell it uses material from probably the more recent Keith Emerson and Greg Lake performances. In my opinion, what really would’ve been cool is if they were able to pull footage from the 1970s! I know that might seem a little odd given Carl’s current age, but the performances from the other two would probably be just a bit…”better.”

En el bass sonaría todo tarkus excelente con éste efecto... 12:04 🤘😎 sería de mucha ayuda 👍 al menos eso creo yo amigo

La guitarra sonaría aún más excelente con éste efecto en todo tarkus amigo! 6:30👍 eso creo yo ✊😎

Greg Lake. Bass, guitars, and lead vocals. Did anyone else ever do that? Geddy Lee was Bass, keyboards, and lead vocals. The two Gods of Prog, as far as I'm concerned!

Bands of a progressive bent do tend to make some daring leaps with their second album that can potentially verge on career suicide, and ELP was certainly not alone. A few years before "Pictures", Vanilla Fudge put an album out on Atlantic called "The Beat Goes On", that was also an ambitious piece of work, chronicling the history of music, and it nearly ended their careers, when they quickly got back on track with their third LP, {"Renaissance" and picked up where they left off from the first album

Saw him on this tour in 2012 and on his previous solo tours in 1981 ( twice )and 2005. Waited outside the venue afterwards for him; had a lovely chat, he signed all my merch. I then left to walk to my hotel…he got into his Range Rover and as he drove past he waved to me…a special moment …for this lifelong fan. Rest in peace Greg, you lovely man.

Saw them live twice. Unforgettable.

Gadzooks great talents live in the sky

E xce$$ive L ode P roject

Thanks Carl. I can’t wait to see the show. My husband saw you in Orlando and was delighted 👍

Mr. Carl Palmer YOU are the man. ELP is one of my favorite bands of all time. You guys are some of the most talented musicians ever and I appreciate all of the music y'all made.

Love Emerson Lake & Palmer!

Still love this band. Sad that only one member is still alive. I vividly remember pivotal things that happened in my young life back then with this music as the soundtrack.

GOD BLESSED US ALL WITH ELP

I forgive you Carl, just because of how wonderful the first half dozen albums are.

What about is better having a girl instead of a boy??? Who says if he had a boy he would be a drummer, and he had to spend time teaching his son eveantually how to play ??? And the comparisons... perhaps if he had a son, and happened to be a drummer, Palmer would be upset if his son would be better than him??? On the contrary, if that would have happened, he should have been proud, not selfish. And come on, there are a lot of musicians' sons who choose to do other things. I mean, not because the father is a musician the son (or the daughter as well), should be a musician too. I can't believe he said that in those days, how ridiculous... oh btw, he said would be great if the girl would become a lawyer... well, Carissa is a lawyer. Did he planned the future for her???

Milano, 4 maggio 1973, velodromo Vigorelli..: io c'ero ! Concerto indimenticabile! R.I.P. Greg and Keith .

alguien deberia recuperar el video musical entero sin interrupciones

ELP were killer at the Isle of Wight festival!

The best best drummer out there

As a classical/jazzed-trained musician, ELP served as the main bridge for me to not only prog rock, but to pretty much every other style of music, including all sorts of electronic music today. I've been composing tons of songs, and I would argue that if you listen carefully, you would very often hear at least a hint of ELP influence in them. Keith Emerson certainly was the single biggest influence on my writing and playing, with maybe Chopin coming in second. Sad to say, but I only saw Emerson and Palmer together as the group 3, at the Greek Theatre in California. It was a good concert, even though while I wore special sound ear plugs (to minimize ear damage), I could hear some distortion in the speakers that probably nobody else noticed. Don't know why, but along with me, a lot of people decided to go at the same time to the snack bar during their playing of Pirates. Maybe it was a nice piece to walk around during? One thing that I've been quite impressed with, is all the great musicians who have not simply done covers of ELP songs, but have made them their own, meaning they have made some changes here and there. I confess that I have played ELP so much in the past, that I am kind of burned out hearing the originals, but there is something so fresh and wonderful of ELP getting a new breath of fresh air through newer generations of musicians with maybe a slightly different vision of what ELP could have sounded like, if they continued. I think this is parallel to how classical musicians have for sure made the old classics their own, with their own new interpretations. With that said, I have heard of prog rock cruises. However, I just don't care much for anything other than ELP-based prog rock. People keep trying to convert me (please don't try in a response). I just wonder if there is such a thing as ELP-based cruises. Blind keyboardist Rachel Flowers would be a must-see (no pun intended) who would probably be the closest to exactly playing the licks Emerson did. But I also would love to hear other keyboardists who have taken Emerson's playing to new places, and (thankfully) to new sounds. As much as I like the latest versions of the group 3 (ex: 3.2) I grow weary of them seemingly stuck in using the same synth sounds Keith used a lot on his Yamaha G3 synth. There was a time when I could play a lot of Emerson's music, and I did in piano recitals, but I just don't have enough edge in my chops to pull it off, so I don't expect to be asked to play in any ELP cover bands soon. I don't know if there is any future in prog rock. I know many fans of the genre claim there is. But I think that some steps AHEAD of where it is now needs to be taken. Not sure what exactly; maybe it needs to do more fusion with other more modern styles. Right now, I am greatly enjoying the electronic group, Infected Mushroom. Maybe prog rock can fuse with stuff like that. I would certainly give it a listen. RIP Emerson and Lake. Carry on, Palmer.
