Luck, every-one needs luck - in life. It is better to have luck as -not- No luck can mean- bad luck. Bad luck can wipe happiness away. Lucky strike, once was a hell of a cigarette. Now we have only strikes- against the industrial imperium- even worse-"strike of your heart". It means often, that your last minut soon will come. When death is coming sometimes -luck- arises. Death has no chance anymore-luck reigns. Fear will went out of you. Even if you did sinns in the past, luck is stronger .
Saw Greg and Keith do this song in concert last year. Greg said he wrote it when he was 14 years old. Keith sheepishly admitted to not wanting to put in on the album unless he got the solo at the end.
i was forteen when i saw them first in Hamburg,i sold my drumkit,got my first synth.Had three a few month later and started doing gigs.When i bought my seventh i released my first maxi single...back then...Last 15 years released 13 cd's in australia and doing well with it.Thanks KEITH...ELP was maybe the first music i ever felt,yep..tarkus was very ahead of it's time.Anyway,always wanted to dedicate something to the boys..done that now.
amore mio lo sai ke le tue dedike mi fanno impazzire ,sei dolcissimo,ti amo,questa è una delle canzoni più belle ke abbia sentito.grazie amore, mio lancillotto!
This was the Black Moon Tour. I saw them at Warner's Theater in Fresno there and the they played Lucky Man towards the end of the set. It was every bit as good as you hear here except the low pedal notes Emerson hits during the synth solo rocked the whole theater. The notes don't carry on the dvd like they did that night; rattled my chest! He used Taurus pedals I think; you'll see him "step on the note" with each low bass tone. It was loud and vibrated the entire theater; incredible!!!!!!!!
this is why people are stupid and uptightt.u don't realize that an opinion could b viewed as a non malicious thing.but u're so child like u take every thing as an insult and its meant to hurt.u can't understand a state of mind.
very impressive.u really gotta nack for identifying who's on Youtube. Now,pay attention......find a bullet.....and put it through your head.Then YOUR BODY will drop.How clever.
and his age has nothing to do with it.he sounded this way when he was younger.why do u have to insult.why can't u understand that i just thought it was a bad performance and could b improved.u act like im trying to hurt u.see a shrink.see,now im defensive.if u can't afford a shrink,buy a bullet and rent a gun.figure out the rest.thank you.
It''s more likely just another take on the many heraldic tales of British/Celtc literature. As for being 12 at the time, I'm guessing that the 12 year old's version was a little primitive compared to the recorded version, but, clearly it had nothing to do with JFK. On that we are in agreement.
Yes, the song was written much before recorded. They needed (at the studio) some more more material for the record, nothing very long and Greg remembered writing this and they improvised on it.
waoo not quite like i remember it was a group with fast music and the movie was in negative colour kind of psychedelic now maybe i drank too much at this time or sumething lol ;)
Got to admit the original is much better.The band seems to have lost some of its edge,especially the singer.Its still a classic,but I'm a purest when it comes to the classics.
Once I was in hospital recovering from an operation. I'd had opiates for about a week and was severely constipated. When it finally happened, it took about half an hour to pass a turd which excruciatingly felt like a treetrunk. Happy moments of joy and bliss compared with listening to this though.
What a pointlessly hateful comment, harveytg. If you dislike it, why'd you listen? (And comment?) Or is it this version, which is the original performers doing a fine version (not brilliant, true)? Or is it that you never got over that constipation and are still full of s***t?
Thank you, SholingBr, for posting this GREAT clip!
this dates me-I heard it when I was in school, about 32 years ago-but it brings back memories and it is a classic as far I'm concerned-might I add he sounds (and did back then,even) a bit like John Lennon. Awaiting a maelstrom of comments on THAT one! lol
demasiado increíble... 3 notas que conforman una línea melódica que genera una atmósfera que te transporta al más allá...
Simplemente es de esos temas que lo escuchas por primera vez y te llenan el alma, sacando de ti aquel niño que tienes dentro... simplemente ese hombre afortunado que alguna vez fuiste o que llegarás a ser.
band is too much. first saw them at a gelatin factory (Place made jellow) in williamsville NY that is where they practiced for some strang reason. i'm 50 now and was 16 back then. are these guys still alive?
uuuuhhhmmmmm no pitch shifter man,,, its called an attack/decay rate.. hes not pushing on any wheel when he jumps notes its a thing called talent when layering sounds
u can clearly see in the vid that hes only do a run or jump of an octave or two with his HANDS the pitch bender sound comes from the decay rate holdind till the attack rate starts not very hard to understand if u ACTUALLY played music :)
Now kindly stop both of you - otherwise I will put you over my knee and whip your bums soundly, accompanied by German, English, American and whatever.

P.S.: and if you don´t wish this to happen, please start thinking before swearing.
rraynsford: I'm all for you defending the video against haters, but when u start hating on Americans, you're like a chiuauia barking at a pit bull. BTW; it's peanut 'BUTTER' and jelly Butter...Butter. also; 10 to 1 says I could out muscle you! LOL
i was only having some fun i love america.you could probly punch me in to orbit,but you wouldnt hit a man with glasses on would you???,lol.keep rocking my friend,
Naaa, rraynsford, I wasn't gonna hit you, I was just gonna wrestle you, or challenge you to arm wrestling, or tug-o-war. But you're ok...continue having fun.
I found him looking a bit chubby but going to insult somebody on this way is just lame. if you don't have good comments about a good band than don't give any comments at all.
First time I heard ELP, some time ago (78), maybe my mind was not prepared to their complex song (I was 10 years old, give me a break!). So, I heard this song ... the door was open for Progressive Rock ... Forever!
They sound great, that is all that matters....but..it is a shame the years have not been kinder on their looks...then again the English don't age well...pity
What are you talking about? This song was released in 1971.37 yrs. ago. Lake looks good considering they were in their late 20's when this was debuted. Besides the fact that NOBODY created or will create the amazing music that these guys did. Be quiet.
It's too bad how these guys started out together like Lake and Emerson,,created these classics then end up hating each other,guess you had to be there.
From what I gather, creative differences was the main issue. The "Works" albums kinda showed that they were going in different directions. My opinion is that "Welcome Back"
was their best ever. These guys are at the top of their game playing live.
no. Emerson and Lake had a major falling out a few years back on comments that Emerson made about lake in his book. Lake claims he will never reunite because of it.
I first saw ELP in a movie in O.B. San Diego called Rock & Roll Your Eyes c.1977 1st. acid trip I ever did & I was in the Navy on top of that, what I remember I'll never forget!!
I wish I understood what the fuck that hahacheez... dickhead was trying to communicate. Fucking-a, learn some grammar, dude, so that you don't sound like some senseless cunt!
I'm Danish and English isn't even my native language. I had no problems understanding what he meant. Stop being such a fucking ignorant American retard! It's embarrassing.
in the first line.. there is a reference to this in the film Blow. The last line of the film hears Depp say 'There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door'
A privilege to see Keith Emerson and Gregg Lake in different venues. Keith with the Nice and Gregg with King Crimson. They are now dinosaur. Carl buff drummer that could play solos for hours, Keith straddling his Hammond with charm and Gregg his voice still beautiful. However, they look like Elvis Presly did before he died and that is a little discerning for me. It seems that Jagger and Richards can do it, but it was down right embarrassing for ELP. luftnutt is right ELP went overboard
People need to "Understand This" "ELP's" heyday was the
"70's" they were a top rock band of that era,however
after the 70's or the end of the "Works Tour" they came crashing down,they wen't into debt.they had a million dollar,Quad sound system in the 70's,in the 80's and 90's
they couldn't maintain it,Emerson couldn't maintain his 60,000.00 "GX1" he had to junk the thing for spare parts.
Meat and Potatoes?...What the F are you talking about?...TRUE classical musicians, and, any musician, can appreciate the arrangement....as should any fan of music!
I just watched the version of this song that Greg Lake performed at the California Jam in 1974. Jesus, but the man got fat! Looks like he pulled an Elvis Presley. What year was this Royal Albert Hall gig anyway?
imho this can't be compared to the early ELP...both for the awesome imagination in writing and for the energy on stage. Late 70s ELP...that is the band i love.
If you don`t like this song, don`t listen it and especially don`t post stupid comments. On every single video on youtube there is an asshole who writes shit......mostly just for fun or to see people`s reaction
That's cool. What you have to remember is that there's not much meat and potatoes in every tune they do, while some tunes they have do. Plus, they're a classical music influenced band, so they're going to have heavy/light/strong/passivepowerful/delicate tunes.
yea, I don't mind people liking the song, but that day I was trying to remember the name of this group because a friend of mine from way back said this was his least favorite band of all time. haha well I figured out who they were after all. Don't mind if you like it, though. Check out INXS-never tear us apart. It is a nice shot of Praha. I was there last April and is a nice city to visit. take care
You have to love the audience at 2:10 or so. They look just like me - old, bald, fat, tired and ready for another smoke!! I first saw these guys in 1973 at Bradford St George's Hall. Anyone know exactly when that was?? I lost track of the date.
Really? I'm not saying you're lying, but Lucky Man came out in '70, which is one of their 2 biggest hits. Their career took off pretty quickly right after that. Kinda hard to see them play at a HS dance when they were doing world tours in the early 70s.
great music. i saw them in concert in Memphis in the early 70's. only group i know who made it witout only one guitar player. no bass guitar! the moog synthesizer is still awesome.
I don't think the Doors always had a bass player...Ray used to play the bass line on keys. I think Morrison Hotel was the first album with a bass player.
Oh,

OPPgreg 3 years ago
How is this song about JFK?
Greg Lake wrote it in 1959, 4 years before JFK died.
I mean maybe he added the lyric about the lucky man dying later but it doesn't seem to fit.
Besides, ELP is a British band, why would Lake write about an American president?
SynthAddict513 3 years ago
Greg Lake was about 13 or less in 1959. I don't think he wrote it then.
OPPgreg 3 years ago
I read that he wrote it when he was 12 as a song for the acoustic guitar.
People write songs all the time and don't record them until much later. Besides, how old he was doesn't mean anything.
It very well could be about JFK but it just seems unlikely that's all I meant.

after the 70's or the end of the "Works Tour" they came crashing down,they wen't into debt.they had a million dollar,Quad sound system in the 70's,in the 80's and 90's
they couldn't maintain it,Emerson couldn't maintain his 60,000.00 "GX1" he had to junk the thing for spare parts.

is that a minimoog?
missmarleneoh 4 years ago
It's a modular Moog, probably a IIIC. You can see the banks of modules behind Keith as he's playing.

Keith noted in an interview that most of the IIIC's modules he had on stage were not working and just there for decoration purposes.

Meat and Potatoes?...What the F are you talking about?...TRUE classical musicians, and, any musician, can appreciate the arrangement....as should any fan of music!

I just watched the version of this song that Greg Lake performed at the California Jam in 1974. Jesus, but the man got fat! Looks like he pulled an Elvis Presley. What year was this Royal Albert Hall gig anyway?

imho this can't be compared to the early ELP...both for the awesome imagination in writing and for the energy on stage. Late 70s ELP...that is the band i love.

He wasn't lucky if he had to hear this tune. This song sucks.

If you don`t like this song, don`t listen it and especially don`t post stupid comments. On every single video on youtube there is an asshole who writes shit......mostly just for fun or to see people`s reaction

Hey, you have your opinion. Why do you not like it? Try to be specific, don't just say, "it sucks". Think you can handle the challenge?
24Lancelot 4 years ago
well I like a tune with a bit more meat and potatoes.
like for instance..
*bob dylan & joan baez - god on our side (newport 63') 3/16
*Tom Waits - Downtown Train
*INXS-never tear us apart
*Boards of Canada - Amo Bishop Roden
*Robert Zimmerman - North Country...
I hard to define why you don't like a piece of art so maybe you can deduce why from examples of what I consider good tunes.

I would say it has to do with authenticity as I see it.
vanostranII 4 years ago
but after listening to the tunes I just mentioned and then listening to this song again I would put this the top 100 worst songs. just me...
vanostranII 4 years ago
That's cool. What you have to remember is that there's not much meat and potatoes in every tune they do, while some tunes they have do. Plus, they're a classical music influenced band, so they're going to have heavy/light/strong/passivepowerful/delicate tunes.
24Lancelot 4 years ago
yea, I don't mind people liking the song, but that day I was trying to remember the name of this group because a friend of mine from way back said this was his least favorite band of all time. haha well I figured out who they were after all. Don't mind if you like it, though. Check out INXS-never tear us apart. It is a nice shot of Praha. I was there last April and is a nice city to visit. take care

Hey Lance - if you want a "meat and potatoes" song, try "Blessed Assurance" by the greatest songwriter of all time, Fanny Crosby!
Seriously, check it out!!

You have to love the audience at 2:10 or so. They look just like me - old, bald, fat, tired and ready for another smoke!! I first saw these guys in 1973 at Bradford St George's Hall. Anyone know exactly when that was?? I lost track of the date.

If you look on the ELP website it gives you all the concert dates.I had to look up my Liverpool Empire ELP gig.

i saw them play at a high school dance in the early 1970's who knew at that time this song would have so many meanings
metairiela2001 4 years ago
Really? I'm not saying you're lying, but Lucky Man came out in '70, which is one of their 2 biggest hits. Their career took off pretty quickly right after that. Kinda hard to see them play at a HS dance when they were doing world tours in the early 70s.

I don't think the Doors always had a bass player...Ray used to play the bass line on keys. I think Morrison Hotel was the first album with a bass player.
