Keith Emerson - Honky Tonk Train Blues 1976 Manticore Stereo

[NICKY752]

I have this old 45 as well but it sounds like this 45 was played at 78 speed. Good tune though.

[cucciola500]

non è solo veloce, ma straordinariamante super velocissimo, e bello riascoltare questo ritmo.

[TheGaetanomariadigio]

Is fast

No realy!

[monsterjazzlicks]

Does anyone know what CD this track will be on please ?? Thanks !!

[ysuzuki1773]

I can play this honky tonk blues,too.

thank you. I love keith Emerson from japan.

[RogerMurdock]

great song but KE plays it fast enough without help

Anno 1976,t.v ancora in bianco nero..forse...forse era la sigla di :GULP,stasera fumetti in TV?? troppi anni sono passati ma mi pare prprio che ne fose la sigla,c'e qualche 50enne che se lo ricorda..chissa'???Comunque,gl­i E.L.& P hanno fatto molto dí meglio...

[fimon145]

glad to have this studio version-too fast for me-thanks though

[Multi1628]

Keith Emerson! Great to do classic boogie woogie! Everyone made some sort of dance record in the 70s... Thank you for posting this festive track - see also E.L.&P. 1972 "Nutrocker" - Peace... DAVEDJ

@blablablablabla74 Quello in riva al mare era Salt cay...c'è sul tubo.

[stuartyuo]

a horribly fucked up version

[guggardner]

Meade Lux Lewis's original is played at half this speed. Keith wanted to show that he could do the syncopated 3/3 right hand to 4/4 left hand faster than it had ever been done before - and he managed.

[NanoInGalera]

Qualcuno si ricorda "Odeon - Tutto quanto fa spettacolo", programma RAI degli anni '70? Questa era la sigla finale.

PS: gavdoff, why did you boost this track to the speed of light? It's too fast! :-(

[iocolano]

nice nice nice

[gaetanomariadigiorgi]

no correct velocity

[iosonounporcellino]

I think keith emerson was one of the best keaybords-man of the story. Honk Tonky is a great song, very difficult to play.

[ChrisGS1982]

So I guess you don't dance to it then and get overly self indulgent as you do

[progmeck1]

This stupid piano doodeling , together with works 2 was the beginn of the ruin of ELP. Shit. Absolutely crap. How could a genius like Emerson record such bullshit after Brain Salad Surgery??? This is an endless enigma to me.

[cablaggi]

troppo bello!!! grande musica!!! ciao a tutti da casoria (napoli)

[ugopk1994]

The album is WORKS VOL2 released on 10th November in 1976

[AMor3PsicHe]

True, it's too fast.

This was my favorite one when i was 4.

Mio padre metteva questo vinile almeno una volta a sera sul giradischi in salotto.

[JubalCalif]

I love this boogie woogie piano classic. But it's being played awfully fast here. Faster than I've ever heard it played. Awesome version! Nice to know so many people today are into the great boogie woogies classics of yesteryear. Thanks a LOT for sharing this with us! :)

[gavdoff]

Yeah it is slightly faster than 45rpm, but not much, it is actually almost this fast at 45 :S

I love allsortsa stuff, if its good it cant be half bad :D

I got Messin Shoe Blues up on here too which is another of my fave classics :)

[vinylman4533]

Keith Emerson obviously was a fan of Meade Lux Lewis's original!

[gavdoff]

He seemed to like a lot of things, Ive noticed all kindsa nuances & ports in his stuff :)

[audiophile55]

Someone has speeded this up, tremendously, without changing the pitch.

[gavdoff]

That would be meeeeeee LOL

I DJ using Stanton STR8-150 decks which have key correction when in digital mode, so I can play up to +/-50% but at same pitch.

I often play classic stuff at a fast pace to fit with the other stuff im mixing :)

This I think was about +5-8%

Normally I put that in the infos but for some reason I havnt on this track?

Anyway hope you like it, I have allsorts of other stuff up with more to come when I get round to it!

Enjoy and have fun,

Gav ={[O.o]}=

[MiniRon1982]

@gavdoff what other music do you mis with gavdoff? i must admit, i have fallen in love with this track!!

[maxa60]

Before surgeries, Keith Emerson was a bad mother fucker.

[gavdoff]

in what way doy you mean,

good bad or bad bad?

[socalltd]

he says it in a good way. keith had the wallet at some time LoL!-pulp fiction...

[maxa60]

The best bad. As in unmatched, esp on the Hammond.

[gavdoff]

Ahh cool, thought thats what you meant, but wondered if you had some anecdote about him kicking 6 bells outta someone at a gig or something LOL

yeah he was quality :)

[socalltd]

cool... i have 2 copies of the "jerusalem"

single from Manticore.

[gavdoff]

this is all i yhink i have on that label :)
