Emerson Lake & Palmer - The Barbarian - Isle Of Wright 1970

[Interst890]

anyone else agree that the beginning is a little black sabbath-esque?

[nerak48enterprise]

you're RIGHT, it's Wight ~ WIGHT WIGHT WIGHT

and it's the WHITE Cliffs of Dover, not the WIGHT Cliffs of Dover, which I have seen posted incorrectly elsewhere.

@nerak48enterprise Hahaha!...You sound really pissed off (and rightly so). Ravenite1 is from your homeland, USA....I have also heard some Americans pronounce Wimbledon as 'WimbleTON'...poor dears!

[Poopaloo55]

Excuse me, but I think you mean 'Isle of Wight'....sorry to be so picky. Good video though...sounds great and I like that photo.

To think that some drummers on youtube think that Palmer is not a great drummer just because he has incredible chops then he's not musical: Ha; listen to about 1:45 to 1:50. Emesrson, who is a superb musician comes in half a beat late and Palmer picks it up so quickly he moves his hi-hat foot imediately to get back on track. It is Palmer who makes it sound seemless and the youngest one in the group at the time (19 years old); What ears. And forget about the drum fills at the end. Holy smoke!

[SLFiveMan]

@spercoco You're right. Great save by Carl at 1:45. Hard to believe anyone wouldn't acknowledge how talented he is. Best drummer since Buddy Rich in my opinion

[annikee59]

@spercoco Absolutely. Palmer often saves both Emerson & Lake by adjusting his timing to them. And then some dingdong will comment, "Palmer's timing is off, listen to 6:37 blahblah..." When they're too dim to catch what was really off. ELP is almost flawless anyway, which is mindblowing. The sheer mathematics, which have to be innate to them all, shows genius.

The sound well trips me out :)

Isle of Wight

[RottenAnatomy]

4:40

the first blast beat ever

[alucard1083]

@RottenAnatomy YEAH!! THAT is what got me into ELP!! Sounds stupid...cause the rest of the entire package is SUPERIOR! But it took a drunken night at a good friend's house to play this on his vinyl player to open my eyes! (ears)

[TheLamberia]

Béla Bartók: Allegro Barbaro - this is the original version. I like ELP.

[ugopk1994]

Sei fan degli ELP allora !

[rodrigitotube]

Interestin history about Hendrix joining ELP.

But I think that such thing could not been better than what we all know an love.

Power trio!

[stoppanig]

Had to give this a rating just for the picture alone :-)

[ugopk1994]

The early show of ELP Isle of Wight 26-27-28-29 1969 !

[joakoPRIMUS]

old times.

[audiophile55]

Keith says "That's Carl Palmer there, on drums!" at the same time Greg says "Thank you, very much!" at 5:08.

[ogrebattle22763]

Yeah your absolutely right... the only problem is when you buy bootlegs like I have they are not always going to be good... speaking of Jimmy Page... I would love to see him release 75 Earls Court show which on DVD which has been floating around the underground for some time now....

[zezinhozeppelin]

that beggining sounds a bit like genesis first songs...

[punkasspete]

how come this is not on the video???

[Ravenite1]

More coming soon...

[ogrebattle22763]

Please add as much ELP as you can this is great stuff!

[ogrebattle22763]

why the hell was this left off of the video what a total ripoff... this is excellent & it was left off........i can't believe it....

[Ravenite1]

Yeah they also cut Take A Pebble off the DVD for some unknown reason

[ogrebattle22763]

Seriously speaking I feel like bringing the DVD back the only reason I'm not is because it still has some historical value to it... This was ELP's debut performance also... these companies are such scumbags... just out to ripoff the fan anyway they know how.......

[ogrebattle22763]

If you think about it there is no real legitimate reason why they would leave this off the DVD..........

[damphear2]

why most of elps videos are not out on the market. legal issues with rights holders.

i hope one day all the gems of the world get put on the internet

The film crews apparently took a break when ELP did their set. It wasn't until midway through Pictures when the band was going down well with the audience did they resume filming, therefore getting the rest of the performance, although I don't think Nutrocker was filmed.
