  • that was called the ribbon controller .

  • Yeh!

    

  • I love prog rock and almost every prog band, Emerson and Palmer are amazing, but when I hear Greg I have, as I call it, eargasms! How can someone be so talented?

  • I was lucky enough to see ELP perform this (and lots of other classics) at 2010 High Voltage. As you can imagine, they were just amazing.

    Fingers crossed for another tour soon.

  • @Birdwatchingboy , GL is touring in the US in 2012.

  • I only got to see them once at Mann Music Center in Philadelphia and they were great!

  • Poor little L112 :(

  • Good hippie tunes

  • I used to be a regular guy until I tried tipping my piano over. Now I'm just short for my weight.

  • Would Give anything for new ELP tour.

  • great elp...what a song...

  • Yup, alcohol and this song do go together.

  • They were one of the few groups that sunk thousands into music instruments and equipment. They had state of the art equipment.

  • 36 people are deaf

  • @SalemStorm how can this not be loved? they must be deaf!

  • Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why Leos Janacek was never acknowledged for the theme (it is his Op. 60)?

  • They've never dropped their high standards. Saw them last year at High Voltage and also back in the early 1970's. Brilliant then and now.

    Music that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Makes it easier to shave them off that way - added bonus!

  • I use to see them live at the Spetrum in Phila, they were LIVE! I saw all of the classic rock bands back then. Life was great then, just didn't know how much greatness it held at the time. But I still have the memories, what I can remember anyway. LOL! Peace!

  • @Kaptainess , I was there to for many many shows including ELP.Many great memories, I use to joke how I must have tons of old brain cells floating around inside that place.Peace!

  • Emerson was a genius.

  • Elp... dubstep not to sure about any comparison

  • 2:10 old school dubstep?! :D

  • @LuckyStrike1994 no Don't ever call elp dupstep that is the biggest understatement that you could possibly make

  • 41 years later, it's still an extraordinary performance. 3 GREATS artists and a fantastic clip Keith Emerson is the first man to play MOOG like that, Greg Lake added his bass deep, hard and rolling, Nothing to say about Carl Palmer performance except... FANTASTIC.

    And it looks so easy to do... Did you try it?

  • wow

    

  • No-one has mentioned that they borrowed from Janacek's "Sinfonietta" yet?

  • @gretschmesaboogie Plagiarization is a practise used since time began gretschmesaboogie. All your latest music favourites do just that. It's to appropriate ideas, passages, etc: and then utilise it into an alternative version, adding elements of their own. Hopefully in a tasteful & creative way. Well spotted anyway ¦¬)

  • @gretschmesaboogie everybody "borrows" ... John Lennon said " all music is derivative"

  • Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite songs by them but to be honest, I could watch this video without any sound.;) I favor Lake but they all look pretty hot!. Palmer in that tight ass green shirt ...outchee!!!

  • i've heard stories about how his organ would catch fire on stage, seeing this, i'm not surprised anymore.

  • AWESOME! MY DAD AND HIS BAND ARE DOING THIS SONG:D

  • Comment removed

  • After that opening shot of GL I almost passed out.

  • @rmtmiller  lmao! Me too!

  • @rmtmiller Ditto!!

  • @rmtmiller IKR??? *drool*

  • sounds like they were channeling the Doors

  • I ask myself: Where are people like ELP now?! I mean, there are some kind of cool musicians, but were are people like ELP, Syd Barret, John Lennon?!

  • Still sounds great after 40 years, even without the mushrooms! :O

  • @holmesc25

    This footage is from the popular german " BEAT CLUB " TV show. It was recorded in december 1970. They performed Nife Edge and Take a Pebble. All BEAT CLUB shows are released and available by amazone I suppose.

  • Answer to cris5949.

    The Moog ribbon controller.

    Can anyone tell me if this footage was released?

    Where did it take place?

  • @holmesc25

    It was never released

    It never took place

    Shhhhhhhh

    Don't want the popsters finding out

  • I FINALLY FOUND some TEENAGE Carl Palmer! Great Footage of him with Arthur Brown! It wasn't even labeled properly!

    you tube. com / watch?v=3FmVM6rfTKk

  • What instrument was that at 3:09

  • So damn good :)

  • ROCKIN!!!!

  • drummers buff!!! lol

  • aeroglifo, Don't take my comment as negative, I'm a drummer and I like a lot of the music today,but there is a certain something that has a tendency to get lost. Everyone should lidten to whatever they like, Me I like the old and the new,But thanks for you views anyway,you are entittled to them and I to mine..

  • OH MY F'N GOD THIS IS INCREDIBLE..

  • @therevepigee yeah!!!! ^^

  • how great this group was on the start and how bad it was after 3 years

  • I agree with TheDancingForRain, I'm 16 and 99% of the modern day music I listen to, Is Recent Pink Floyd stuff. All I listen to is the classics for the most part. If It's not old, It has to have the classic tone and feel to it, like chickenfoot.

  • studio cut is way better. this sounds terrible

  • nevermind now its working

  • why in the fuck would would they put this on here with no audio? might as well remove the damn thing. assholes!

  • 2:26 it would be fun seeing him throw a glass of water in.

  • Sean price - mad mann

  • @MFthesupervillain1 seriously? where?

  • Meet Omar A Jaso the original and intellectual composer , sole creator of the "Always Coca Cola" music. It's about time the world knows the truth. Here on youtube: theomarjaso Omar A Jaso, Icon of the Progressive rock in MExico. Pass it on!

  • fantastico !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • Tread the road cross the abyss

    Take a look down at the madness

  • if u love ELP type :

    and u will see musicians from another galaxy in action :-)

  • Comment removed

  • 34 people fell off the knife-edge

  • Dark & Lurking to Awesome!

  • Scary talented.

  • you cut off the first verse dude... the song does not start here...it starts earlier!

  • The first time I heard ELP I was 9 years old, and here it is some 30 or so years later and it still sounds like I'm hearing the music for the first time. This is truly one of the greatest bands of all time , young people today should listen to ELP to know that there was a time when musicians actually played their instruments, and had a sense of the value and integrity of their craft today every thing is sampled and commercial,we should get back to true creativity, Welcome back my Friends...

  • @peeper63 lighten up

  • @peeper63

    It sounds like you haven't listened to any real (see: good) metal bands recently!

    But I agree that everything on the radio blows. ELP is great prog

  • @peeper63 Well im young and i listen to this and this is probably the best music i heard together with rush, gentle giant(ddude theyre awesome)

  • @peeper63 to the show that never ends, emerson lake and palmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The greatest thing under the sun {music wise} til this day and eternity.

  • @peeper63 Young people listen ELP but there is not too many of them :)

    I love ELP beacause it was one of my parents music lessons :D

  • KAPOWWW!!! Boom! Ça Rock! Formidable, J'adore! 100% mega i just love it! Ha! :-) Jane XXX thanks ELP!

  • My wife doesn't understand why i love this stuff

  • im only 7 months old and i love ELP, straight from the womb

  • Saw ELP back in early 70's... including Emerson's flying grand piano.. He ran to and was playing a white 10' Steinway.. when in raised into the air and began spinning end over end... and He never missed a beat... insanity/genius ..the fine line.

  • I think of all the ELP songs, this and Fanfare hold up the best....the only song I play "Air keyboards" to...wanted to be Keith Emerson when I received this album at age 14. Nothing like it...then Tarkus comes out...a sun up to sundown AM station would play the whole thing from time to time. I remember pulling off the side of the road just to listen to the whole thing. Saw the Famous Welcome Back show in '74 in "quadrophonic sound" and it Was!!!!

  • i saw keith emerson stab his keyboard live on stage, it was incredible, played upside down, rolled it ontop of himself, wrestled with it like a madman!

  • Three hot men at peak genius. How to top that?

  • Classic EL&P. Peace.

  • One of the best songs ever, but i think the album version is better...oh yeah justin bieber isn't worth the sweat off of Keith, Greg, or Carl's ballsack grow up man

  • Tread the road cross the abyss

    Take a look down at the madness

    On the streets of the city

    Only spectres still have pity

    Patient queues for the gallows

    Sing the praises of the hallowed

    Our machines feed the furnace

    If they take us they will burn us

    A Syptom of a great rock band IMO, its lyrics still communicate and echo with you, through the present time, after being written decades ago.

  • Wow! I'm having a flashback! The colours, man.

  • Comment removed

  • Ou yeah, Leos Janacek rocks!! :-)

  • Love the hammond

  • @bag04u Oh well, surely that's gonna be interesting, too.... there is indeed a distinct possibility that one day I'll be able to admire a detonation of a nuclear bomb from not too far away.... :(

    But I'd prefer to see ELP or Gentle Giant or any other such band live instead. I'm really modest in my wishes, you know ;)

  • AMAZING GUITAR AMAZING DRUMS ND AMAZING KEYBOARD!!!

  • my pops would get shit faced and put this on. he had cheap taste in beer but great taste in music

  • There's only one problem - the clip is not complete! Where's the rest after 3:11? :-l

  • Man we justo listen ELP in Mexicali mexico my kid listen to it today

  • Thank You For Posting This Video! I shall watch it again and again!

  • This old stuff's alright, but nothing beats Justin Bieber. Can you imagine if groups like ELP had had Justin on vocals? They would have been bigger than the Beatles or Elvis!!

  • @JustinBieberKicksAss Greg Lake could eat That slimey little shit whole! But if Hendrix HAD joined them that would have been something!

  • @Boots59100 Now if Jim Morrison sang for them that would have been awesome

  • @bug0292 Yep that would have been good!

  • @Boots59100 Now if Morrison and Hendrix started a different band that'd be awsome... but now I'm getting off topic.

  • @JustinBieberKicksAss

    Didn't Pink Floyd write an album and movie about your condition? Had something to do with building a wall between yourself and the real world ...

  • @JustinBieberKicksAss That's pretty funny! Posting a completely ridiculous comment to get people fired up.

  • @JustinBieberKicksAss .... You ARE kidding right?? This post is just to see how many people you can piss off right??? OR.. maybe you are real and have been huffing jenkum... is that it.. youre a little jenkum huffing pissant??? tell us the truth....

  • @JustinBieberKicksAss How did you stumble onto this video? Shouldn't you be watching cartoons? That is one of the most deluded comments I've read in years. His name should never appear in the same sentence as any of the musicians you mentioned. You have managed to articulate the shortcomings of your generation in four lines of text, well done. But if you are an adult, you should be ashamed. I shouldn't even be responding but I can't help but feel sorry for you. Spread your Bieber Fever elsewhere

  • @JustinBieberKicksAss Your boytoy fantasy wouldn't've even been allowed in the studio with these MEN. He MAYBE would have carried equipment IF his daddy was known in the music industry. Just wait 'til J.B. gets a few years on his balls and see if he's still around. Give me a break.

  •  MUIINNTO BOM!!!!

  • I saw them do this at the first concert I attended -- in Asbury Park at the Convention Hall on the boardwalk. Emerson controlled they keyboards as much as he played them. His trick with the Hammond was startling -- he'd crash the reverb unit and spin the entire console on one corner, driving the internal Leslie speaker to distraction. In between numbers the keyboard techs would come onto the stage and make quick repairs. Still gives me goosebumps to watch this now.

  • My first live rock concert. ELP. The Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1971. I had the worst seats (up and behind the stage). Never would I have known that ELP would become one of the premiere prog rock bands ever.

  • "The voice"! There hasn't been another voice like his since!

  • PRIME ELP<<<

  • Grandes momentos de nosso rock... no Brasíl, só coisa de primeira linha na época: Terreno Baldio, O Terço, Mutantes... Parece que estamos cada vez mais distantes disso...

  • ARGHHGHGH SO FUCKING GOOD!

  • @microxur

    (& hikanki & tipu & asshead & whoever else)

    This is not a "film" u mental and moral munchkin.

    If this is all you're worth in life, you'd be better off begging in the street. At least that way your living would be honest.

  • @hikanki

    This is not a "movie" u stupid spamass piece of shit.

    Kill yourself before someone else beats u to it; if someone else does it, it will hurt more.

  • Lots of jamming missing in this shorter than usual version. They each did a short solo during this in the early days. The only real jamming in this version is Keith working over the Moog modular.and ribbon controller a little bit, and of course the L-100 backwards.

  • LOVE IT !

    ... But i prefer the studio version

  • I recently saw a list of the 100 best rock drummers. Carl Palmer was four. He deserves to be number 2, right behind bonham.

  • @kakonis Where did you see that list? I'd be curious to see it.

     As far as drummers go...I have always been torn between Bill Bruford and Carl Palmer as the BEST rock drummers of all time!

  • @kakonis I agree, I saw the same list. It should be Pert, Palmer, and Bohnam!!

  • Talk about a JAM Awesome!!!!!

  • Leoš Janáček The simfonieta

  • 3 best rock drummers of all time: Carl Palmer, Keith Moon & Alex Van Halen.

  • Sometimes I get annoyed at this old-timer nostalgia. Sure, ELP was once a great band but I think part of the reason progressive rock and experimental music today is being held back, is that people, even prog fans hold on to the 'old goodies' (you know with hammonds, mellotrons and long hair) and refuse to dig a little deeper to find the progressive music that is actually being made today. Remember 'prog' actually stands for PROGRESSIVE.

  • @ootwiabd Progressive? That can mean progressively WORSE. The new generation has such a low bar for calling something good. Taste is music is gone. RAP is proof of that.

  • @bpentium I was not referring to what sells the most, but the music that is being MADE today. There are many prog/experimental bands, such as tool, opeth, the mars volta and pain of salvation to mention some of the more famous. There is an experimental jazz/rock band called jaga jazzist, worth looking up. Someone mentioned a few others lower on this page. As I wrote you have to dig deeper. MTV and top 40 is mostly a representation of the current attitude, which may contain traces of music.

  • @bpentium right progressive means change Girls dont buy classical music records they look at the picture of the composer on the cover and he looks old like janecek the original composer of this melody

  • @bpentium So is almost everything else made after the late '80's, and that's being generous.

  • @bpentium to be honest. sum of my friends listen to a coulple of rap artists and its not rap that is so much corrupt as it is the hip hop industry and all the new shit thats out there today. to day its not the star that counts. tv show producers want you to become an icon to shape children's personalities and how they act. they obviously showed sum failed projects such as hannah montana and justin beiber. I've seen their plan, and now.......... im out to kill.. Heh...hehh....hehhhh

  • @bpentium unfortunately...

  • @bpentium a sad, uneducated thing to say. you completely ignored the point he was trying to make. last time a checked rap was not a form of progressive music. and because its common nowadays does not mean that the entire music scene is fucked. he's saying that alot of prog from the mid 80's to now is just retro rock. theres alot of good, progressive, new, innovative rock, metal and electronica that have been pushing the boundaries of sound and music in a good way. dont be an unprogressive idiot

  • @bpentium Don't stereotype, I'm 16 and I love this kind of music. And I'm not alone ;)

    Actually, amongst my fav bands would be.. Scorpions. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Anything Dio's sung with. But also AC/DC, Metallica and Rise Against. Just happy that there's so much music out there for me to enjoy ^^

  • charger771, I was born in 1994 too, and I also missed all! ALL!!! I missed ELP, I missed Hippies Era, I missed Woodstock '69, god damn it, I missed The Beatles Rooftop Concert, I missed The Doors Miami Incident too. Most of us is missed really groovy times. And it's really shame. And all GOOD TIMES is in the past.

  • For all these guys who keep saying Oh i was born to late Just look about there are some amazing experimental progressive rock bands still about

    look up on youtube DIAGONAL - Semi permeable men-brain

    Poisoned Electrick Head

    Cardiacs

  • Quand la machine Elpienne bat son plein avec Keith sur toutes les longueurs d'onde .

  • Saw them way back in the 70's live & they were a disappointment. Lighting failed, the stage props felll down, and they played crap. Loved them up until then!!

  • knife edge..... my first contact with ELP in these days.

  • SEAN P!

  • if u love PROG check these AMAZING NEW BANDS

    DIAGONAL myspace diagonalband

    ASTRA myspace astrasound

    TRANSATLANTIC myspace transatlanticprog

  • This makes Rap look like what it really is.. " CRAP "

  • Um... I agree that perhaps maybe 90 to 95% of rap is indeed crap, but many surpassing musicians today (including rock) are heavily influenced by it, like Radiohead, Beck, Portishead, Massive Attack, The Knife and a lot more. All "genres" have good music, you just have to search hard.

  • @ paulwall1981 & Weasler455

    well i agree, but we have to listen to the ones that tries today and support the future of music! one of the main reasons the 70's was like it was, was becouse people supported talent, make a stand and search for the talented boy or girl who nobody litsten to and support them!! i dont think Emerson Lake & Palmer would make it if the grew up in the 2000

  • EL&P is awesome! Great song.

  • This is what real music is all about. None of the pop crap of today. The youngsters of today need to sit a hear this kind of thing and realsie that this is real music. Nuff said.

  • @paulwall1981 I agree with you 1000%.

    Most of retards calling themselves 'professional musicians' these days could not play anything even close to this. There are some talented

    musicians out there, but you just don't

    hear this kind of thing today.

  • @Weasler455. I thank you for agreing with me. It's nice to know that there are some out there who know about music and I hope you spread the word. Keep in touch and best of luck to you.

  • @paulwall1981 im a young person and I LOVE this kinda music...my friends call me weird....but they listen to RAP(Retards Attempting Poetry)

    but this is definitely real music

  • @adeedeedeetv. I could not have said that better myself my friend. You are wise beyond your years to listen to this classic muisc.

  • @adeedeedeetv Retards Attempting Poetry! LMAO! Thanks for that!

  • Brilliant! That's a performance!

  • Witness what it was like!

  • Simply wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rockn & Rolln w/ELP! Like no other.

  • wheres the 1st verse?

  • Hey Kids! THIS has a meaning to it in a Gothic Mortuary way.... nice piece of music from us old half-dead geezers, HUH?

  • i love keith emerson's clothes
