I remember watching this particular click when I was about 6 or 7 years old and back then it totally blew me away. That was mainstream, cutting edge back then. Although it is a catchy tune I watched and didnt hold it in the same esteem. Still good though. I remembered the guitar sound as really "ballsy", I guess it may have been for mainstream back then...not in comparison to Led Zep etc of course.
One of my favourite videos - love the simplicity of it, the way you can see their breath in the cold as they work away, the powerhouse rhythm and Emmerson's keyboard freakout. Amazing how he got all those different effects!
Cameraman got a private elp concert !! none of the pushy, stinky, out-of-it fans that crowd the stadium on concert night. Two thumbs way up. Like the rising notes at the crescendo.
Always had a soft spot for this. In all probability, the sheer skill on show here would terrify any loser who might be connected with the Toss Factor. Simoncuntcowell would have no idea what was going on. He's a useless shite and no mistake.
Can you imagine keeping a GX-1 tuned outside in the winter? Supposedly this very synthesizer that Keith played on this was on sale earlier this year on eBay for some extravagant amount. I say supposedly because I read somewhere else that it was effectively totalled when a car ran into Keith's house.

tbonexx1, I'm with you on the miming the studio version...but by 77 the keys were all solid-state analog--no more tuning drift when the weather turned.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. Percussion and bass would still have been affected to a certain extent. Comments had been made previously about the tuning and it occured to me that people weren't aware that ELP were pulling a Mili Vanili on this particular vid. That's taking nothing away from them or the music. Great musicians and great piece.
For those of you wondering how the instruments stayed in tune in the obviously fridgid cold...they're not playing. They are just apeing along to the recording. The music is note for note the recording and I don't care how good a musician you are that's impossible to do. Also explains the sudden cut at the end where it fades out on the recording.
Great group though! We wore the grooves off the record listening to Fanfare and Pirates back in the late 70's.
They were truly incredible. rock bands doing classical. ELP, Tull, Queen, Rush .. was so great growing up in the 70s & 80s. this brought back happy memories :)
Very well said. While there's still a handful of real musicians out there, for the most part, music today has become a talentless overly-technical corporate load of crap. Guys like Keith Emerson embraced technology too, but at the same time, they never forgot what it meant to be a real musician.
Anyone who says that rap and hip-hop are "music" is essentially confirming their single digit IQ, as well as confirming a serious case of being tone deaf & musically challenged.
LOL. You are right on there. A lot of people don't know that Keith Emerson was classically trained at Juilliard. His fingers are so long that he can reach 12 notes on the keyboard with each hand. He was born to play the keyboard. They were all brilliant on so many levels. Ah, to have music like that again.
i'm surprised the instruments held up in such extreme cold, anyone w/ more knowledgeable about instruments know if they'd have to have them specially made for this?
This video was shot some time in January of 1977 while they were in Montreal to play at the Montreal Forum. I went to that gig it was incredible. I was a mere 14 years old at the time.
maroma15, Someone did give you an answer that they were from England. Keith Emerson was with a group called The Nice, and Greg Lake was with King Crimson... and Carl Palmer was with Atomic Rooster.
I'd like to see this version (which I do enjoy) done in an arrangement for full orchestra and played during a classical concert in place of Copland's original. Just as a joke.
AC/DC most certainly does not suck --in fact, they just rocked Atlanta this week. Eighth time to see them --eighth great show.
Ac/DC is an original --certainly simplistic in terms of a band like ELP-- but an original nonetheless, spawning countless imitators who never could get it right.
England papa...Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Carl Palmer...Emerson was in "The Nice", Lake was in "King Krimson" and Palmer was in "Atomic Rooster", those bands had very good music...try to hear them
the only question that i had was ...where are they from??, i know ELP were very important in the music, i like them, very much, specially this song,!! i`m 28 and i`m from Mexico! can you understand why my question!! thanks!!!
thanks JOhnNall, but i was giving an answer to another guy, but really thank you for the information, i don`t write the english very well, i hope you understand me!!
ahh pues yo tambien soy de Mexico...son de Inglaterra...vi un DVD de ELP, y salen en su primera presentacion y fue todo un acontecimiento que se juntaran 3 musicos tan bueno de diferentes grupos, los boletos se venieron en 3 hrs
England papa...Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Carl Palmer...Emerson was in "The Nice", Lake was in "King Krimson" and Palmer was in "Atomic Rooster", those bands had very good music...try to hear them
No real music being made today.Pretty much pre packaged pop crap. Most of the real rock and roll is from bands like ac/dc that are still around. Thank God I grew up in a time when there were real musicians that made real music of ALL kinds. Never saw ELP but thank god for videos like this.
ac/dc sucks. there's always been shit music being made. ELP even made some shitty stuff. Bands like the Derek Trucks Band, Galactic and Medeski, Martin & Wood are still making good music and draw big crowds. Don't look to MTV or your local rock station to get you hip to what's happening.
interesting how so many youth have 'found' the old bands and loved them... my kids and their friends have listened to the great rock bands for over 20 years now.
i learned that i would usually lose a cd or 2 when our kids had parties with a lot of friends over to our house, starting in about 88. hard to believe its been 20 and most of those same daughters have kids and all now.
For me the music world died when 2LiveCrew released their album. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever heard. I think it was in the early 90's around '91 or '92, the start of rap.
When the Canadian Invasion of Country Music occurred in the mid-to-late 1990's, led by Shania Twain, Terri Clark, and others, the music industry got its last nail in the coffin. Rap, Heavy Metal, then the Canadian Invasion of Nashville...the music industry is dead.
just reading some of the comments haha some hilarious. Interesting but I don't think many contempary bands could stimulate so much positive conversation or fellings. Too bad...those days were magical, musically speaking!
i am on my sons acccount, cannot believe how great that was, considering that elp takes a classical song and makes it a modern masterpiece. todays music is just no talent. great work. people who could really play instruments amazing
Without doubt, the greatest band that ever were. I count myself so lucky to have seen them live in their prime (1972) touring Trilogy. They shaped my whole musical taste. Everything I now like grew from listening to ELP.
I first heard this at a local pub where a band was on when I was around 8 years old. My first taste of a band and live music. The singers took a break and all that was left was the guy on keyboardsm drummer, and bass guitar.
They did this tune and it stuck in my mind to this day.
To see this on here by the original artists made me cry. Brought back so many memories, and also made me realise that music is always best played live.
The opening series was used at Bradford,Odsal, stadium and at BelleVue,manchester,stockcar and speedway tracks in the mid 80's by Stu Bamforth to start the races. I was a steward at both tracks.
happy days, having been a uk hit single(short version)I looked forward to it being shown on the Christmas day totp's....and guess what, they played it with pans people dancing instead!!!!!!!!!!!!.
The opening section was also used as bbc Scotlands theme for local news programme Reporting Scotland.
I hope all can appreciate ELP's dedication to the voice and soul of the everyday joe in the audience and his personal strugglesday in and day out, If you don't appreciate this from this song- then I don't know how to reach you.
Love, Cherish, Honor, Support, and Nuture your fellow common man- HE is You in a different shell!
they were rehersing in Montreal during the winter of 77...they lived there for 6 months, than the concert was in august 77...I was there and also we were told they were in town the whole winter too..
in spite of the abuse they took, i think they were always very respectful of the classical pieces they adapted. and if they introduced just 1 person to classical music, then that person's musical horizons were expanded.
They introduced me to Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and for that I will be forever grateful. These guys rocked from the start, and Carl Palmer is still rocking - catch his "power trio" lately where the keyboard parts are played by a guitarist!
This is one of the best songs of all times. Seriously. At least for me is. If I was a ginecologist helping a woman giving birth, this could be the song playing in my IPod while assisting her. I don't know why. (useless parenthesis)
it wasn't Japan as someone posted in the comment. This video was shot a couple of days before their actual concert in Montreal. You can tell at the beginning you see the 1976 Montreal Olympics logo.
From Wikipedia - Emerson, Lake and Palmer In Concert is a live album by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, recorded at the August 26, 1977 show at Montreal's Olympic Stadium which is featured on the album cover.
That makes much more sense. It looks like Olympic Stadium in Montreal, which would have been fairly new after the '76 games, and the Olympic logo is kind of a clue.... along with all that snow.
Actually, the concert ELP did in Montreal when this video was made was held at the Montreal Forum, not the "Big Owe". That show was in Dec. of 1976. The band returned with the full orchestra show in August of '77. Would you do an outdoor show in Montreal in Dec.?
Popular music today has too many other things to focus on than just pure raw musical talent. Too many molds to pour into. You don't get much like this anymore...
F(*&^&&((ing awesome... it was always my favorite...

The original ELP version of this song started my love affair with synths. Still outstanding. Aah.

Sixty30, why are you making me think of Alan Partridge ?

in spite of the abuse they took, i think they were always very respectful of the classical pieces they adapted. and if they introduced just 1 person to classical music, then that person's musical horizons were expanded.

They introduced me to Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and for that I will be forever grateful. These guys rocked from the start, and Carl Palmer is still rocking - catch his "power trio" lately where the keyboard parts are played by a guitarist!

This is one of the best songs of all times. Seriously. At least for me is. If I was a ginecologist helping a woman giving birth, this could be the song playing in my IPod while assisting her. I don't know why. (useless parenthesis)

Winter 1977 was a cold one! The Montreal concert when they recorded the live album was described by Emerson as the zenith of their career.
chromeoverbrass 3 years ago 5
it wasn't Japan as someone posted in the comment. This video was shot a couple of days before their actual concert in Montreal. You can tell at the beginning you see the 1976 Montreal Olympics logo.
From Wikipedia - Emerson, Lake and Palmer In Concert is a live album by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, recorded at the August 26, 1977 show at Montreal's Olympic Stadium which is featured on the album cover.

That makes much more sense. It looks like Olympic Stadium in Montreal, which would have been fairly new after the '76 games, and the Olympic logo is kind of a clue.... along with all that snow.

Actually, the concert ELP did in Montreal when this video was made was held at the Montreal Forum, not the "Big Owe". That show was in Dec. of 1976. The band returned with the full orchestra show in August of '77. Would you do an outdoor show in Montreal in Dec.?

Popular music today has too many other things to focus on than just pure raw musical talent. Too many molds to pour into. You don't get much like this anymore...

This was the day before a concert - in Japan - and it was actually snowing - all that white stuff on the ground!
