[beeroosterm]

The 1973 Milan show is the best version of this. They played it twice as fast - and it was truly better that way. The groove was killer...

[graveb25]

NYAN CAT!

[k3ngarbage]

[ChristianHopeVideos]

Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Rev 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

[titusbeertsen]

Why are you people boasting the fact that you've made your acquiantance with this music through 'Nyan cat'? Fucking nerds, start to appreciate some real music will you?

[AmonFTWAmarth]

@titusbeertsen This is not even near nyan cat and hey nyan cat is cool but this beats it easly

[TheAntihero6212]

Three people think Pork or Chicken is what's for dinner. ;-D

[TheAntihero6212]

One of the greatest instrumentals of all time!

[GerryRed7]

My brother Paul. who loves Emerson.. had this idea, when we were playing in a six piece cabaret band in 1973 of performing this ... I was on drums... so the other four went off stage to let us play this number... the look on the faces of 'Elvis' obsessed , Rock & Rollers... brought up on Perry Como and Frank Sinatra... listening to us perform this... it was wonderful. I was sixteen.. my brother 22... I later became a musician and returned to playing guitar...

[PCGamerPortal]

@GerryRed7 I understood zero of your comment.

[deadly9420]

the original nyan cat !

[BiofordxD]

NYAN!

[PM131A]

Fantasztikus!

[THEWIKANMAN]

What a waste of electricity

[ineedmoretool]

This is the best song ever!

[MorningLaughterPills]

I know the keyboards are great, but I think the drumming by Carl Palmer really stands on its own. Amazing drumming by the greatest drummer ever.

[radiadorproducciones]

TOMARON SIEMPRE EL CONTROL DEL MATIZ!!!!!!! SI,SI, SI, ESTO ES MUSICA!



[radiadorproducciones]

SORPRENDENTE!!!!! GRACIAS EL&P.

[pbrucpaul]

Keith Emerson is awesome on those keyboards!

[s4t4n96]

why is evrybodye talking about nyan this is way before this stopid cat

[suzys11]

Offenbach, Germany...1970...various incarnations of LSD. Saw them 2x in a row....that piano moved all over the stage and he moved over and up and across. Mhh. that's what i remember AND then there was this HUGE gong. Giant gong. He drummed that gong and the sound was travelling AROUND the concert hall. It was everywhere at once.........................n­o wonder i'm so me.

[gadjox]

@clonecomanderfox so i'm not the only one who thought that? :))))))))

[alekshadzi]

thumbs up if you think that this is just like nyan cat :DDD

[moonlightandlove]

just been asked to play this on the violin, but shit how fast is this !

[DIEHARDRailFan]

@moonlightandlove Sounds to me that it could be possibly harder to play than The Devil Went Down Georgia!

[dan131m]

@moonlightandlove It's substantially harder in the original, where you have to play it on three trumpets in sync.

[mprest836]

@dan131m well its a fiddle tune mostly and those high notes for the whole section altogether are rediculous, but having the 2 section leaders in tune would be good...find me a good recording (is there one?)...

[viannaphoto]

Que saudades!!!

[librl4life]

OMG!!!  Nyan Cat all the way!!!!

[Shewly99]

Great....!!!!!

[erjefe1]

[phineas117]

and he wasn't afraid to use either!!!!

I wore this album out. yes kids, it was an ALBUM>>>>LOL

[airlock2011]

2:50 love that buildup then the resolve

[truerock74]

@RockinPaso: Emerson had two hands and a knife . . . :-D

[glaucoaster]

An extraordinary album " , hopefully humanity back on its steps to revalue the real Music that you have the bridge to the invisible world.

[jflinn210]

Used to watch Detroit Red Wing hockey in the 70s, and this was the intro music. Great piece. So much so, that I stole it for our high school TV broadcasting theme for Findlay (Ohio) Trojan Hockey, which we aired locally on a public cable channel. Awesome to hear this again ... it's been years. Prob'ly decades.

[IonSaliu]

This must be the best marriage between classical and contemporary . . .

[amkinne]

This was my first favorite band and I still just love 'em. I wore this album out!

[GoodyBob]

@amkinne Me too! I kept playin' it no matter how scratched up the album got. ELP, The Moody Blues, Yes, & Jethro Tull were/are my classic favorites.

[omryharari1]

nyan cat

[TheAntihero6212]

Two people don't like progressive rock.

[RockinPaso]

did Emerson have 3 hands?

[dnkzz]

@RockinPaso actually 3 and a half

[asidharta13]

amazing ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobby7771117]

This was some of the greatest progressive rock ever! ELP is awesome! This group probably made the best as it emerged! Peace and Love, BobbyK

[Zehydra106]

lol Mozart? This is Copland

[DnDDmDb]

@Zehydra106 I think he just means that this is a masterpiece worthy of Mozart.

[dan131m]

@Zehydra106 I have no idea what you're responding to because I only see this in "top comments," but I definitely imaged this in Gerard Butler's voice.

[zombieguy301]

2 people tried to play this but their fingers got twisted up in big knots

[lazymadonna]

i love this because the start sounds like a photocopier

[z3r0t0l3r4ns]

@lazymadonna

o.0

[lazymadonna]

@z3r0t0l3r4ns just.....listen to it. it sounds just like a photocopier honest

[evDivia]

@lazymadonna If you like office supply solos listen to "Leggy Blonde" by Flight of the Conchords!

[MrMotownmanny]

It's Detroit Red Wings Hockey. Live from the Boston Garden, its the Red Wings vs The Boston Bruins. hello everyone, I'm Bruce Martin along with Sid Abel. It's a must win for the Red Wings if they want to stay in the playoff hunt. They are tied for 7th with the Chicago Black Hawks, so expect Gordie Howe & Alex Delvecio to carry the scoring load & Roy Edwards must stay sharp in the net. It's Red Wings Hockey next on Ch 50, WKBD , brought to you by Little Caesers Pizza, & The Ford Motor Co.

[redfishradical]

As a keyboardist I always took great delight as a kid in the 70s when my guitar buddies would go into passionate "air keyboard" to this song & Karn Evil #9! There've been some fantastic keyboardists to blow through rock (though it's been ages, if lady gagme's disco offering is what we're left with, we're screwed) from band like Yes, Deep Purple, Super Tramp, artists like Elton John (in his youth). But Emerson took it to another level...

[Sparlimb]

The 1974 Hawthorne Muchachos Drum & Bugle Corps did an awesome brass/percussion arrangment of this. Absolutely amazing!

[viking10475]

I remember ELP on Rice Stadium in the Bronx.  Anybody else?

[MrPPALCALDE]

EMERSON, LAKE Y PALMER Y UNO DE SUS MEJORES ALBUMES, ADEMAS DEL FROM THE BEGINNING ESTA EL TRILOGY Y EL BOLERO DE ABADDON.

NUNCA LO ESCUCHO SEPARADO, SIEMPRE COMPLETO EL ALBUM

[SuperJETHROTULLFAN]

Jimi Hendrix of the keyboards !!!!

Alot of music for a trio..amazing !!!

[neil73]

First heard this on TFI Friday, the show that used to be on Channel four in the UK, with four guys dancing wearing giant paper-mache heads! I'd heard it before that, but that time sticks in my head because I went out and bought this album

[Oryon25]

Awesome tune. Inspired by an old east european folk dance, by the way.

[Oryon25]

@Oryon25

Or at least that bit of Rodeo was.

[1yawn2many]

@Oryon25 uh,no. Appalachian, not european.

[fanebabanu19]

@Oryon25

You're so right... please listen folk music from Maramures - Romania... that beat from the beginning is a traditional rhytm in the folk music of the that region... other themes are indeed inspired from various ethnic zones (it seems to me an old american theme for example)

[Oryon25]

@fanebabanu19 You mean Doina Carpatilor Suita din Zona Oas? I'd link it but apparently it won't let me.

[lovedrummin]

I first saw Emerson, Lake & Palmer in concert summer 1972 at Merriweather Post Pavillion, Columbia, MD. They started the show with "Hoedown". Been hooked on them ever since.

[22rrllccmm]

[scalawaggywakyman]

Beef... It's what's for dinner.

-Just had to say it  ;-p

[TinManSixtySix]

@scalawaggywakyman You stole my line! :)

[DIEHARDRailFan]

@scalawaggywakyman LOL

[Rogadoable]

Tal vez uno de los mejores músicos progresivos pioneros.

[53handyman]

I saw them on stage in Paris June 1974 and never forgot this show ! Thanks for post.

[juliagabriel90]

omg it's awesome! Great Music!

[jbeng1953]

taken from copland's billie the kid?

[Director632]

@jbeng1953 no from Rodeo. Billie the Kid is a totally different ballet

[marilido70]

awesome!



[marilido70]

awesome!

[VanillaLimeCoke]

I found this tape at a yard sale back in 1987 when I was only 5. The other songs on the tape were okay but I liked this one the most and still do.

I rather prefer their instrumental songs more instead of the ones where they sing.

[cowboy68]

elp was part of the majestic rock of the 70s , along with yes , theres a few others but elp and yes have the best songs trhat 30 years later ya go hey this is cool stuff . these times are gone but the sounds live on , great stuff , peace and luv

[Tsnore]

No trio in the history of rock ever kicked out the jams in a biggish way quite like Mr. E, L and P!

[brightersage]

"I am so glad to see people under 25 that love ELP!! Teach your children!! :)

[brightersage]

I am so glad to see people under 25 that really like ELP! Teach you children!!

[TheRadagast26]

too funny the guy about the wings, I rememer too, leafs kicked your arse to this tune. lol

[bandguyz24]

portamento on that moog..

[Transterra55]

Check out Rachel Flowers, an ELP connoisseur. At 16, she is a Keith Emerson prodigy. She nails the stuff. Quite amazing!

[Boots59100]

Awesome! Have an original LP of this and a few more of their's! great Band!

[daemongabriel]

grandissimii!!!!

[TorixAnn]

@kalt96 its because we have the internet :)

[tankerman25]

holly crap that was freaking awesome.

[dergeier117]

I remember the first time I listened to this, I thought the note at 2:45 was the smoke alarm going off in my apartment.

[63301]

It would appear that two people missed the thumbs up button >_>

[chrisradano]

I remember I ate a bag of mushrooms and listened to this album. The center opening of the cover made sense.

[caslox]

Keith Emerson is one of the greatest keyboard players of all time, but when drummers are mentioned nobody ever seems to include Carl Palmer, he was up there with the best.

[mirceacotiga1]

Search on You Tube this: "Doina Carpatilor Suita din zona Oas / Maramures"

[mirceacotiga1]

Great!!! It seams that they study old Romanian folk songs.

[bxbuff]

Watching Keith Emerson PLAY this on his keyboardS is a hoot in itself! This was the era where you had to actually MAKE music using your talents, not just "scratching" a record.

[prejeba]

Obra prima do maestro Aaron Copland no arranjo perfeito do Emerson com uma marcação forte da percussão do Palmer, conduzido pelo baixo potente do Lake. Perfeição!

[thebrokenrattle]

Ya gotta love them throwing in "Shortnin' Bread" and "Turkey in the Straw" in there for good measure.

[RE1974]

I went and had a listen to the Copeland version, and I think even Copeland himself would agree this ELP version is far superior.

[Ollfie]

Copelands is best

[Samherji]

Best of best!!

[JlbMercury]

fucking good!

[kiwiklo]

REMINDS ME THE SOUND OF "KILL BILL" 1:38

[SlipperehPuppeh]

My music history professor made us listen to the original and then to this version... I have to say, both of them are excellent... But I'd rather do a hoedown to this one. xD

[2000zenek]

w cholerę dawno tego nie słyszałem.przypominając sobie ich dorobek już wiem dlaczego nie słucham już prawie współczesnego rocka.

[63301]

damn...wish i could play keyboard like that

[shesingsFORall]

Jflinn210 & Red Wings! But shame on you dm7tamas for being so condescending. It must be a drummer thing.

[goflamesgo96]

ELP forever

Greetings from Canada

[gtr3303]

Dad and I used to watch the Detroit Red Wings on cable Ch.50 back in the 70's, this was the intro to the broadcast, this is great music!!!! Miss U Dad!!!

[jeffsdolphin]

all ELP fans know there shit!!!!!!!

[Orbea05]

I was turned onto ELP back in the 70s! I blew more than one set of speakers playing their music!

[Doobie1975]

Admittedly I used to not like ELP when I was younger but now at 30 years of age I've started listening to them again and they really grew onto me a lot, now I consider them to be one of my favorite rock bands of all time, I'm sure glad I've gave these guys another chance

[ultimatenerd22]

I love the organ in this.

[pamneely]

my daughter's gymnastics routine music for about 8 years in a row...

[Rickat1964]

They sound similar to Yes, only better

[foxbat2828]

All hail the great Aaron Copland!

ELP, or more specifically Emerson, had great respect for his works and also pays homage to him in ELP's rendition of Fanfare For The Common Man.

[Zepplica911]

This band is Mozart's radio station in the afterlife !!!!

[beeroosterm]

Drumming on this kicks serious ass.....

[PANDOSING]

There was a time in the early seventies when these three "CATS" ruled the universe. HOEDOWN was one of the tunes that helped them to accomplish that.

[sxmadrid]

Grreat tune. Great billy-bob and suszie-joe version by Bela Fleck  watch?v=8fu2s2H-hlc&feature=fv­st

[CanadaEh1969]

2 people missed the like button. they prolly went blind from this great music

[jflinn210]

I remember in the early 70s, the Detroit Red Wings opened their broadcasts with this tune. I was watching and thinking, "What the HELL is this tune? It rocks!" My older brother walked in and said, "That's Emerson, Lake and Palmer." I subsequently stole his copy of Trilogy ... and the love affair was on.

[gtr3303]

@jflinn210 Hey I scrolled down and read ur comment, glad someone too remembers this tune during the Wings telecast! Cool, thanx!!

[jflinn210]

@gtr3303; At the time, I was in high school and we had a Radio-TV class. We filmed school events and put them on-the-air on a public access cablevision channel (in Findlay, Oh.). When we started with hockey games, THIS was the no-brainer for the lead-in and under the credits roll. Always gave credit where credit due: told people, "I saw this for the Red Wings, and it's the best intro music ever."

[gtr3303]

@jflinn210 Should bring it back to the broadcasts now!! Thanks for the info.!!

[spacepatrolman]

@jflinn210 emerson named his son aaron after aaron copland

[RichieEastside]

@jflinn210 Interesting because their version of "Nutrocker" was the official song for the Bruins in that same era. Also, the first time I heard ELP was on a Boston Celtics highlight video. Go figure lol

[sidDkid87]

@jflinn210 That's a pretty cool story . . . I can think of a lot of worse band's than ELP to open a hockey telecast with . . . I'm a Pens fan but can remember back to the 'dark ages' when we'd watch Islander games (Bossy, Trottier, Potvin, Smith et al) via WOR and they would open their games with ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man . . . Classic!
