Greg Lake - C'est La Vie - Montreal Stadium 08-26-77 Extremely rare actual audience recording!!!

[LanceHelmut]

top o' the line prog rock and in good taste...what a performance !

[rmtmiller]

Forget the present, forget the future. Remember the past. This group, in my opinion, is what made for the best supergroup. Here were three fantastic guys. The wizardry and genius of Keith Emerson, the power and rhythmn of Carl Palmer and the one who ties it all together, the troubadour and soul of the band, Greg Lake. The perfect combination for all time.

[dancieginger]

I love this song :)

[mikeyfromnj]

Magnificent, to say the least!!! I have a promo 45 of this

[rmtmiller]

Go right now - okay, wait until the song is finished - and buy Works 1 (if you don't have it already).

[thunkabunk]

Brilliant...

[susieaxym]

Brilliant!! Makes me glad I was a teen in the '70's!!

[practicing4]

WOW! Tahnk you SO much for this post. Absolutely outstanding. This is pure music, to me. Brilliant in every way!!! min :-)

[Fanoulita]

He's got the sensitivity of a poet...

So hamble but still so proud of his instinctive musicality...

Wish I was there...

[ladyfuschia]

@Fanoulita Such a boyish face and a slight nervousness, but with the voice of a god!!

[gofaster22]

i was there and loved it......crowd of 75k?

[54gravi]

@berrygirl1964 Right On!

[bellaemmamom]

the only way to describe his voice besides beautiful is haunting. He leaves me breathless. I <3 Greg Lake

[haga936]

Lovely, lovely song. I was an early fan of ELP but missed out on their later works, after BSS, so it's actually the first time I hear this. What LP is it from? Works?

[annikee59]

@haga936 Yes, Works Vol. 1.

[haga936]

@annikee59 Thanks for the reply.

[RADicalDownloads1]

Emerson doesn't quite end the accordian portion with the Tarkus-like ending off of the Lp version. Other than that, it is great. Saw them sans the sympony around '78-'79 in Chicago.

[871185]

@RADicalDownloads1 Keith never played on the studio version. He said in an interview he "copied" the accordeon solo for the live tour. Who played accordeon on the Works Vol 1 album is unknown to me

[directorzz]

I was there

[keztar]

I am a member of Northwest Chicago Symphony. Where can we find the orchestra sheet music and score to songs like this? We would love to perform songs such as this, & Nights in White Satin, Beautifully written and arranged with orchestra.

[Davechop54]

i saw the concert at Olympic Stadium Montreal this year, but no, Greg did not do this song. I agree Dave, my name is Dave too, and I know what I saw and heard. You stand corrected.

[DavelovesRealMusic]

My favorite ELP song...it is unfortunate they did NOT, nor did Greg Lake solo play this song on any of their reunion tours. I beleive it was played by lake in 1993 several times but not professionally recorded.

[DJmschouls]

I'm a DJ in the electronic music industry, but I love all kinds of music. There is no question in my mind that ELP were the most talented band that has ever walked the face of the earth.

[upioromnie]

My YT friend says -"oldies & goldies"-and this is true... ;)

[Konbanha]

The dream of my life- to see Greg singing this words "In the night..." and " Like a song..." : Thank you. The dreams come true. Sometimes.

Thank you again.

[Peruanas0]

The accordion solo makes my spine quiver. I Love IT

[nickysp]

[LionheartVegas]

Wow, great to see this. I was listening to the "Works" LP with this song back in 1977, the year this concert was recorded. Brings back wonderful memories.

[celsizinho]

C' est la vie......é espelho mágico...muito legal !!!!!

[susieaxym]

[placidian]

I was at this concert! Thank you for posting this, and for your remarks in the info. =)

[jewellers100]

Reached the Top Twenty in South Africa in 1977. Those were the good days in music when prog rock etc. could make the charts. Now its only bubble gum. And some still like like it, yes they do. I think I like it

[jewellers100]

Top 20 Hit in South Africa - Nov 77. Those were the days when good songs made it into the charts. Now its only bubble gum!!!

[raljazz]

@jewellers100 Amen to that! My sentiments, Exactly~!~

[MRestisbest]

@jewellers100

I remember that extremely tallented man and his voice as a rock. It was so extatic and proud, and clear. Who could compare with Greg in purity of sounds ? No one!

[wiredtojupiter]

yeh ELP sounded GREAT

[OldSchl4evr]

ELP together again Sunday July 25, 2010. Headlining the High Voltage Festival in the UK.

[wiredtojupiter]

If i live long enuf-mite go-but prob sold out?

[OldSchl4evr]

I was at this concert when ELP came to Chicago in 1977 . Soldier Field was packed and the atmosphere was amazing. By far my favorite concert of all time. The sound quality was incredible.

[bewalker25]

There was a video exactly like this but with a better sound. Where is that video?

[acca2esse]

Applause...

[myrrhfish]

jedzxor thanks for the post. This is a very exciting vid and sync audio. It shows oh so clearly how big ELP were (are) and how they sounded so rich in concert. There is no doubt that ELP were (maybe, are? maybe?!) one of the greatest live bands ever. Great upload!

[divustitus]

That is life;a complex tapestry which all of us weave with the fabric of our emotions.
