I remember it took me several weeks to learn how to play this song in my acoustic guitar just listening the LP. But i got it and made me happy each time I played it.
Do anyone of you know if the instrumental part is based on a particular piece of classical music?
The information age has fundamentally changed music. The instant availability of the video forum has changed the upcoming generation's taste from the substantial to the superficial. Brittany Spears and Lady Gaga are irrefutable examples of this notion. I am grateful, however, to the information age, for providing numerous forums, like You Tube, to keep alive the likes of ELP, Yes, The Who and Queen; real music. My fear is that this forum will provide the last and final access to great music.
@sfoglpe specially with some rare videos,as well as some bands that are not tha well known,such as Can,Bigglietto per L'inferno PFM,and many other,internet like many orher technoligies has pros and cons,Jeez,some fucked up topic if you think about it
The guitaring was a bit like Epitaph from the Court of the Crimson King. I always assumed that Robert Friip played the guitar in King Crimson. But hearing this I think Greg played some parts too. Lovely playing!
@aristotle358 You are almost correct, but in fact it was Fripp. As youngsters, both he & Lake had the same guitar teacher, so they learnt to play the same way. When they formed Crimson, Fripp said, "Hey, this won't work unless one of us plays bass," so Lake did. Like McCartney before him, who also played bass out of necessity, he plays bass like lead guitar at times because that is the natural inclination of both men. IMHO Greg is one of the most underrated guitarists of the rock genre.
@aristotle358 Just to finish this thought, watch ELP at California Jam doing "Karn Evil 9." Lake starts the song playing a Les Paul Gold Top laying doing some wicked lead riffs, often doubling Keith Emerson on the keyboards, & after a drum solo by Carl Palmer, there he is now playing what I believe is one of his custom Alembic basses. There just aren't that many musical chameleons out there that can pull that off half-assed, let alone well. He's definitely in the "well" column.
Beautiful. Aaaaalsoooooo, not to diminish this song, but my Dad had a guitar like that years ago, and I would LOVE to find out what guitar that is. Any help along the lost streams would be VERY helpful. Thanks in advance. But many things I realize are lost in our lives.
how can someone dislike this music oh my god...im 18 yrs old and i listen tharsh metal,post hardcore and i enjoy this the same...amazing..this is what inspires me.
Wow!!! I've never heard this beautiful and haunting piece before, and it's a shame, because up until now, I always thought Keith Emerson was the genius in ELP!! (Well, he's still a genius, but Greg Lake proves his status unequivocally with this gem!!) Ok, Carl Palmer's pretty awesome too.... ELP: ON FIRE!!!
This remains as one of the greatest live vocal performances i nthe modern rock era..beautiful and original song....the pinnacle of ELP.....we wont see anything this good again.
The whole performance was just flawless, both emotionally and technically! Greg Lake has such a great voice and he is definitely one of the most underrated guitar player. I still remembered how I learn to play this song by listening to the vinyl to figure out the chords and notes and it was really difficult. What a beautiful song, thank you Greg!
This is just one of the many awesome songs performed by the great man. Greg Lake has so much talent, the lyrics are amazing and the guitar just brilliant. This will be my Epitaph. Imagine how this would have felt if you heard this for the first time live, surely a moment never to forget. Thanks Greg your a legend.
MY FRIEND AOPHIR,THE ROOT OF THAT FEELING IS GOD.ONLY WE MUST LEARN TO STABILIZE IT AND GO DEEPER.IT IS MORE REAL AND STABLE THAN ALL ELSE!PLEASE READ THE BOOK "PLAY OF CONCIOUSNESS" BY SWAMI MUKTANANDA MAY THE ONE GOD THAT IS ALREADY WITHIN YOU BLESS YOU WITH THIS AWSOME KNOWLEDGE!
so you see: because we cannot agree upon reality (or about the grip of it), we are left with technology: we can live through it and thrive by it. that is why we should organize as society only under this matter (and that's communism btw).
it is like being addicted to food: instead of getting satisfaction when you've eaten enough a healthy food, you let false feeling take control over you. that why all kinds of art act like masturbation.they are not real...like we "must" run away from reality, what a pity.
@aophir There is a yet unsolved riddle in the term 'reality' we cannot overrun. We mostly use 'real' in a naive way. But Humans don't live simply in reality, they have to build up their homes in the clouds, because no one, even you, could survive the eysight of reality. Nietzsche discovered it in 'Birth of the Tragedy from the Spirit of Music'.
@whpriol1 Could it be this?: The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music (Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik, 1872) It was his first book and ruined his reputation as a philologist but should make him immortal as philosopher.
there is a kind of pretence in every music done by a band of people: it sound like a beautiful machine that does really nothing...it is a an imitation of something real that sounds perhaps less "sweet" but still bring the product....that why most of the "good" melodies, basically, are sad and melancholic...i don't believe in music and reject the "feelings" that it "provides" us, they are not real,it acts upon us like a drug.
From seeds of confusion, illusion...dark blossoms have grown! Just ask your local serial killer. In 1975, the year Brain Salad Surgery was released, the annual Playboy Music Poll voted Keith Emerson #2 on keyboards. Elton John was #1. Now I don't know if Emerson could outplay or outperform old fagboy with one hand, but he COULD with his TOES. LOL
no one like them ever,,they were waaay ahead of time..Carl Palmer should be sage to every drummer,in a time when drums was to be pocket,kept tight..he played drums melodically,maybe first in that style like jack dejohnette and cobham,but more melodically,drums with melody not beat,like indian music and flamenco in some respect
I just don't see musicians around today with quite this degree of talent, in terms of the almost hauntingly resonant voice plus the guitar playing. The music is just timeless.
WOW! These kinds of talented players don't just come out of nowhere...He must have been practising for the past few hundred years, possibly more than one lifetime... I can feel it in the way he's playing.
I started to listen to them when i was 15. I'm now only 19, but in these 4 years i couldn't find a band which is better, or that could influence my music-in-me more than ELP.
Fantástico, maravilhoso....sinfonia de um só instrumento. Ficará em minha memória para sempre.....vivi esse momento, essa época, essa vibração. maravilhoso, ELP será eterno e sempre presente em minha vida.
2:46 ...see how the people are lost in thoughtful feeling toward this music........so different from today - something is lost in today's Big Money -owned MTV-like music ..... there is no patience and no appreciation for real art - just for flashiness (those are my thoughts anyway) ... sorry to generalize .... but I feel today's (popular) music is so full of a huge ego-trip
That, and the fact that they weren't braying to hear one of the louder, faster songs during this spot...something Rogher Waters really hated later on so much that he had to write a double-album about it!
I see that this kind of music is in a so superior level that people even forget about comparing this to pop bands of this decade.. And I'm glad because of it. Let's forget 'em!
Could some scientist, somewhere, please discover something that could allow me to experience the incredible feeling of what it would be like to write and perform something like this - so arrow-like to the soul.... It leaves me speechless and never wanting to pick up my guitar or perform --- I have played guitar, and performed professionally, for over 35 years. And, I would just like to know what that feeling is like?
@SuninSanDiego If people spent their time learning music instead of sitting their asses in a chair and complaining about today's musicians being bad, the "level of talent, ,feeling, presentation and skills" would already be beyond our wildest dreams.
@SuninSanDiego I was just talking with a teenager who claimed Arcade Fire and Blink 182 were the greatest bands ever. A lot of young people these days think they are listening to music that will be historic and remembered. I wish they would at least listen to earlier music. They might find that it is often true music not the empty, superficial garbage that has dominated the mainstream of rock music in recent times.
@whpriol1 Blink 182 I can understand....but Arcade Fire? Sir, music needs to evolve, however unfortunate that may be. No one really thinks Lady Gaga is an artist, she`s just a party. Its like social commentary or 80`s nostalgy
@PublicJoe88 so evolving music means losing meaning??? Thats just some bullshit no mater how much music evolves there should always be a message. This song actually stimulates your mind it makes you think. Music today is so generic and water down. It's just all computer made auto tune, and catchy beats, nothing is man made...this sounds like it's from the heavens..Music today doesn't have the same impact on me.
@Rill42 Nope. Music today isnt just beeps & blops, just the ultra commercial stuff. You`ll find what you are looking for at the fringes of the music biz. Its a shame that soul-less music is the only thing played on the radio & television, but in a way, its been like that for the last 30 years... easy money. Go treasure hunting on the net, Im sure you`ll find what you are looking for... & more. Peace
@whpriol1 Amen, I was born in 57 and cut my teeth on bands like ELP. I know there is still hope for music when I see younger people who are into the progressive rock era. There few and far between but it gives me hope.
@whpriol1 i agree with you,music these day are so flat without any life,im 29 year old i remember at 10 year old my oncle teach about his music back in the time and this band mark me forever
@whpriol1 - My father said similar to me in my teen years when he heard me "butchering" the classics (Mozart, Chopin, etc.) as I applied Emerson, Wakeman esque interpretations on the piano. LOL - every generation has to make its own stamp on culture...
@whpriol1 yep, it's kinda hard for me to talk about music with "normal" people... so many listen to some radio pop or some really mainstream rockbands, and don't know or care about true progressive music or avant-garde... and I really don't mean "i'm better, my music is better", in the end it really is a matter of opinion.. but people cannot judge music unless they have the knowledge to put it in the right context.. some people drive me mad when they're like "foo fighters are THE BEST"
To mix classical and rock and synthesizer together is skill and pure genius. Start with ELP's BRAIN SALAD SURGERY -- listen to it from beginning to end with headphones.
I carry the dust of a journey That cannot be shaken away It lives deep within me For I breathe it everyday You and I are yesterday's answers The earth of the past come to flesh Eroded by time's rivers To the shapes we now possess Come share of my breath and my substance And mingle our streams and our times In that infinite moment All our reasons are lost in our eyes I carry the dust of a journey That cannot be shaken away It lives deep within me For I breathed it every day
@samsmumable You're the first person that I've heard say that out loud aside from me and I love you for it! Thank you for making me like I'm not the only one.
I had this posted on my fb and a friend told me they had never heard songs butchered as much as when Greg Lake did them live......he's no longer my friend.
Stupid question : is there any song by ELP that they performed live and that contains the whole band playing as well as Greg singing? I've heard some studio recordings like that, of course, but never in a live performance.

@SuninSanDiego If people spent their time learning music instead of sitting their asses in a chair and complaining about today's musicians being bad, the "level of talent, ,feeling, presentation and skills" would already be beyond our wildest dreams.
Great performance, also.

@SuninSanDiego I was just talking with a teenager who claimed Arcade Fire and Blink 182 were the greatest bands ever. A lot of young people these days think they are listening to music that will be historic and remembered. I wish they would at least listen to earlier music. They might find that it is often true music not the empty, superficial garbage that has dominated the mainstream of rock music in recent times.

@whpriol1 Blink 182 I can understand....but Arcade Fire? Sir, music needs to evolve, however unfortunate that may be. No one really thinks Lady Gaga is an artist, she`s just a party. Its like social commentary or 80`s nostalgy
PublicJoe88 4 months ago
@PublicJoe88 so evolving music means losing meaning??? Thats just some bullshit no mater how much music evolves there should always be a message. This song actually stimulates your mind it makes you think. Music today is so generic and water down. It's just all computer made auto tune, and catchy beats, nothing is man made...this sounds like it's from the heavens..Music today doesn't have the same impact on me.

@Rill42 Nope. Music today isnt just beeps & blops, just the ultra commercial stuff. You`ll find what you are looking for at the fringes of the music biz. Its a shame that soul-less music is the only thing played on the radio & television, but in a way, its been like that for the last 30 years... easy money. Go treasure hunting on the net, Im sure you`ll find what you are looking for... & more. Peace

@whpriol1 I'd hardly call Arcade Fire empty, superficial garbage. Or mainstream rock music for that matter.

@whpriol1 Amen, I was born in 57 and cut my teeth on bands like ELP. I know there is still hope for music when I see younger people who are into the progressive rock era. There few and far between but it gives me hope.

@whpriol1 - My father said similar to me in my teen years when he heard me "butchering" the classics (Mozart, Chopin, etc.) as I applied Emerson, Wakeman esque interpretations on the piano. LOL - every generation has to make its own stamp on culture...

@whpriol1 Whoa, lumping Arcade Fire with Blink 182 is a bit agressive.
aeroglifo 3 weeks ago
@whpriol1 yep, it's kinda hard for me to talk about music with "normal" people... so many listen to some radio pop or some really mainstream rockbands, and don't know or care about true progressive music or avant-garde... and I really don't mean "i'm better, my music is better", in the end it really is a matter of opinion.. but people cannot judge music unless they have the knowledge to put it in the right context.. some people drive me mad when they're like "foo fighters are THE BEST"

To mix classical and rock and synthesizer together is skill and pure genius. Start with ELP's BRAIN SALAD SURGERY -- listen to it from beginning to end with headphones.

Stupid question : is there any song by ELP that they performed live and that contains the whole band playing as well as Greg singing? I've heard some studio recordings like that, of course, but never in a live performance.
