The artists listed did not ALL play on this number. They all worked on this project, the album "Encores, Legends & Paradox," etc. Anyway, the artists performing on this particular number are: Robert Berry, bass; Simon Phillips, drums; Glenn Hughes, vocals; Marc Bonilla, guitar; and Erik Norlander, keyboards. ( and, it sounds great!).
Derek Sherinian, Doane Perry, Erik Norlander, Geoff Downes, Glenn Hughes, Igor Khoroshev, James Labrie, Jerry Goodman, John Novello, John Wetton, Jordan Rudess, Marc Bonilla, Mark Robertson, Mark Wood, Martin Barre, Matt Guillory, Mike Portnoy, Pat Mastelotto, Peter Banks, Robert Berry, Simon Phillips, Trent Gardner, Wayne Gardner
godamn excellent keys and the vocalz are probably at the top of the ELP cover bands out there....not saying there amazing but holy shit have u heard some of the tribute bands on Utube wohh...
Azmarkus, it's interesting you say that. Did you read this somewhere? I just think it's funny. Having been a long time fan and have seen ELP, ELPowell and 3 in concert, 3 was by far the weakest of the "3" I saw...heh. Yikes this cover is lame. I'm no fan of the "tribute" albums.
Singing is crap but the rest of it is not too bad. Lake is way better than this singer. No where near as good as the original. ELP are still the gods of prog rock. Emerson still owns every keyboard player on the planet. I think Palmer is now 61 and he still owns just about every drummer on the planet.
Berry can't stand Lake (and probably vice versa) that's why this 'tribute' focused more on the Emerson and Palmer aspect (no Lake ballads that were band's most popular offerings) and purposely went against the grain of Lake's producing aspects. Tossing all the guitars in is so pointless and the operatic metal vocals are hideous. Absolutely grotesque.
@azmarkus I'd have to agree with you. The bass guitar in this song is to me the most recognizable aspect and what makes the song so unique. That was the great thing about Lake -- his vocals and his epic bass guitar lines. I grew up listening to my dad's ELP tapes, and they're by far my favorite band. Covers are just too difficult to do.

Love the synthesizer sound. Where did you find the sheet music for this song? I've been looking everywhere for it...
