if you play drums and not influenced or heard enough ELP,your collection in a state of arrested development..C.Palmer one of most influential drummers all time, and one of first to play drums melodically to classical pieces,or just play out of the pocket,melodically in general...
I am Romanian too (place of birth). What has Romania to do with ELP? Actually, what does any nationality have to do with great music . . . great creation, in general?
Indeed, the good thing about this movie is that it is old, and before there was digital media.
This film was thrown into the cinema, movies were more frequent forums and small theaters, such as universities, in Spain I knew that Raphael was the most modern!
Tell yoou what about that comic layover: I was 16 when I went to an off-off movie theatre in Vienna where they showed this as a movie, and it was 1974 and I was as blown away by this as I was by Pink Floyd in Pompeii. That was effing state of the art in pre digital times, man, as cheesy as it may look today - we tripped out on it and effing lovd it. Thanks for the memory of my teenage days, sandyroad!
@derlynn I saw the same movie at about that time. It was called "Rock and Roll your eyes" Because I was straight, I hated the effects then, and I hate the effects now. The real band, and their abilities are all I needed.
I believe this is from a film called "Rock & Roll Your Eyes" for which I still have my original handbill. I saw it in a theatre back when it first came out around 1971-1973. I remember being puzzeled as Emerson was reading sheet music on his keyboard, but probably just a guide of some sort. Myself, I loved the pop art effects and have been looking for this film for sometime (which I think was later retittled).
I believe you're right about this being from the "Rock & Roll Your Eyes" movie. I remember this flick as well...It was the first time I saw ELP before seeing them live many times over during the '70s. This was pre-TARKUS and Emerson does a quick tease of a few riffs of TARKUS during his piano spot.
@blackbloodx0 Try 'The sheriff' from album 'Trilogy', starts with kickass drum solo, although apparently not how palmer intended, theres a pause where you quietly here (Shit!) in the middle
I remember seeing the film in the theater, and I had to close my eyes during the comic book stuff. It was awful and ruined what would have been a fantastic film otherwise. However, I heard that they're going to release the raw footage without the comic stuff soon. Can't wait!

stop that stupid conflict! just be proud of your own country, and thats it. this elp song is not about being romanian or not, its dedicated to all people with good music taste, whether they are from romania or else. (romania's a nice country, by the way). think about it.
I was at my friend's house when we were teenagers and we were listening to this CD. This particular song came on and I started playing air drums which eventually led to me beating on the couch. I kept it up and I was going really nutso trying to keep up with Carl Palmer and then I looked up and saw that my other 4 friends were doing the same thing ! The couch cushions were all over the floor and we were exhausted. Carl is like an Olympic athelete.
Baba Yaga means in Romanian language Baba Cloanta, an old female witch who curse mankind and especialy children, I'm very proud cause Elp digged in Balcan Region for old habbits

At "George Enescu International Festival" (for piano clasic), and that its the moment of start the sudies the romanian music, folklore and culture, for Emerson.

Escuse for my english but: The song its inspire from roumanian mithologies. In roumanian old legends Baba Yaga ("Baba Iaga"-an very old and bad woman, properly maleffic) its for scare the children: "If you are not corect, Baba (I)Yaga com's to you and take you to the devil". EM&P studies the romanian folklor and mithologie in end af '60, and use in a part of her compozitions a lot of thems, movements and rithmics sequences unknow for occidental public.

that comic layover is one of the highest crimes in rock cinematography. Someone needs to develop a technology that can digitally lift shit off like that.
@ELP71 It doesn't look like there's anything left of the real footage in a lot of places, so even the hypothetical anti-comic-book technology wouldn't help. Yah, I really wanted to watch Electro and Daredevil slug it out while one of the greatest concerts ever goes unseen. What were they thinking?
I feel pretty sure, serious musicians as these boys were(are), they would have objected if they had known what it was going to turn out like. At that time, these guys were at the top of the food chain, and so if they said no, it would have gone away. They probably didn't know about the treatment until they saw it and were rightly royally pissed at the film. Hope they get it remastered sometime soon. All that can be removed. Anything is possible with digitech if you gots the buks.
But i have to say even though there are parts like this I'm glad they made this film They were my heroes at the time.Imagine greg lake was 18 or 19 when he did court of the crimson king,and early 20's here.
I always hated the cartoons. I get the impression that the filming went bad at points and they had to cover it up with something. It makes no sense that someone would just bastardize a stellar performance?
I saw this in the cinema at the time.They were trying to appeal to the acid crowd.I'll make up my own hallucinations thanks.I always prefered just watching the performance. being a musician it pissed me off that they did this,just show me the band enough artsy crap!They should go back to the original film stock ,remaster it without the nonsense.
nobody gives a crap about the damn cartoons....thats wat ruined the video is those stupid cartoons.....the videos would b awesome with out the cartoons
You left out everything that had anything to do with the original Mussorgsky composition. But you did manage to leave in the inane comic book homage in the middle that ruins the whole video. Good job, dipshit.
i know, right? what idiot put all those dumb comic book pictures in there and other photos completely unrelated to anything? i wish i could find this video without all that o well
I may be overly sensitive to this. I remember the hack job ABC did 'improving" ELP's performance at the California Jam with trick photography speed ups etc. Somehow they didn't do that to Black Oak Arkansas...
The imagery was not added recently, it was done at the time the film was made and can't be undone. Unfortunately, this sort of thing was popular back in the day. It was supposed to be psychedelic.
I recognize this this.... It's a clip from an ELP movie made around 1974 or 1975 called "Rock and Roll Your Eyes" Keith was (and is) a wizard with the Hammond C3 and Moog synthesizers. We'll never see the like again
listen to that jazz bass!!!! and hammond wow if there is an ELP reunion i will shout this song from the beginning till the end of the show, im sure they will play alot of pictures tho
ELP could have been considered underground in the day. I disagree about the acid rock moniker, they were more stoner music They blew me away then and still do now. I'm a bit more critical. Emerson rambles on keyboard more than he should ie. karn Evil 9, 2nd and 3rd, Lake wasn't much the lyricist. Tarkus is underrated. With Karn evil 9 1st, that's the definitive ELP and should have been enough to get them into Hall of Fame. There's nothing like those compositions and not likely to ever be.
ELP and prog-rock was mostly a male preserve. The females got their lite version of rock in the 80's, Def Leppard, Cinderella etc. It's like everything else now, the standards went down, excellence was deemed to be "self-indulgent". The Spinal Tap movie also made serious musicians out to be laughing stocks so that didn't help either.
@secordman:"ELP and prog-rock was mostly a male preserve." this idea somehow makes me smile - do you really think we were waiting till becoming twens to get to listen to some "lite version of rock in the 80's"? I well remember that by far I wasn't the only girl driving her poor parents absolutely crazy whilst spending "precious time" listening to the early genesis, to the nice, to yes, king crimson, elp, of course to pink floyd, to eloy and to saga,too, to jeth
...to jethro tull as well as to nazareth and to so many others if not "prog" but rock bands like deep purple, grand funk railroad, iron butterfly, led zeppelin, grateful dead...let's stop it here, I could continue on and on...it's great memories of an incredibly creative time I grew up in and even if for my kids it's sort of "mum having her minutes" when returning home into concert-like "fanfare to the common man" sound volume, they do join us for saga & j.tull concerts. -followed by 3-
-3- And as there is no x-box in our place but very good speakers, they aren't as bad as some of you suspect. & there a still some others like ours out there,too, at least I got to meet some. so @GoodSirKnight and @tokaicarl: don't let it come to desperation. Of course they grow up in their time which obviously isn't dominated by quality but this we can't blame on nowadays kids...same with toys like xboxes- they're always given by parents to them. so let's -followed by 4-
Hm... I think you might have misunderstood him, he was not mentioning fans who listen to Rock music... he was talking about the musicians who play the actual music... there is a difference, and he is right, most of the prog bands were male dominated... nowadays, we have alot more females playing bass... guitar drums etc.
possibly I did, sorry if, being no native english speaker of course I can't exclude misunderstandings...secordman didn't tell me so in his reply on my reaction. as neither Def Leppard nor Cinderella were or are joined by female musicians(as far as I know) I understood secordman talking about "the females got their lite version of rock in the 80's, Def Lep...,Cinder...etc" as referring to the females as audience, not as players. anyway, if it makes a difference to you we might as well ask him.
-2- in any case we probably agree on the subject of talking about unrivaled great music... written and played by most creative male musicians, no dispute. and I very much appreciate the opportunities of nowadays media such as youtube...for we could only listen to but not watch our well beloved bands...apart from concerts. (but maybe we've been lucky then insofar as we were forced to concentrate on our sense of listening? being constantly
Yes, I am definatly not arguing that standards of today have pathetically fallen to an all time low in music... There are some bands with qaulity today, but its rare to find them and when you do, they have been shunned by radio stations and popular culture. Pretty sad isnt it?
that's how it always worked. even thirty years ago it was only some stations at some times that played some of the songs (i.e. the most commercial ones which then became popular), the others you had to get somehow.
and doesn't REAL music always start with small gigs? I guess, every movement bears a seed of it's backlash in it, therefore might better times be coming up...at least hopefully. meanwhile I enjoy small events where real music takes place, I take the kids with me to give them -2-
So let's take them - whereever possible -to "our" concerts, to classical concerts & let's listen to their music from time to time,too, cause they can't share our memories.
you don't have to apologize, that's alright. About Saga - I just love them. Saw them in december 07, one of the last concerts before Michael Sadler left the band. their life shows with small audiences -1000 fans or so- are (better have to say were) incredibly sweeping. I'm sort of torn between my regret about MS having left them -though I perfectly understand and respect his point! - and my curiosity about the ongoing of the band now that they found his successor. Any news about this in Canada?
You know, I didn't know that Saga had gotten back together. They were very big in Europe and Japan, not so much in the U.S. (and just another band in Canada).
except for Puerto Rico, where they have many fans and where they gave their very last concert together with Michael Sadler. I heard the new singer 'd be from Toronto...we're pretty curious to get to listen to the new voice...
(my kids would have voted for Tarja Turunen, ex-Nightwish singer but I've no idea whether she ever was talked about by Saga)
Yes they were unbelievable musicians without peers today. I challenge any young music listener of today to NOT enjoy Tarkus, Trilogy or Brain Salad Surgery. Trouble is though...the low attention span of the youth today means they would probably stick the X-Box on after 5 minutes...
your wrong there i'm afraid- they would stick the x-box on after 1 min--------- seriously can you imagine the young hip hop/rap/r'n'b type thickos listening to anything remotely intelligent like this?
Well I'm 16, and I absolutly adore ELP, I own Trilogy and Brain Sald Surgery and can easily listen to the whole of the 'Karn Evil 9' suite in one sitting. Heck if I was all alone in one room with no one around to distract me, I could listen to every song on 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' by Yes in one sitting.
I challenge anybody to find an artist today that cites ELP as an influence. Music now is not good in my opinion. Is it common for people my age (31) to like the older stuff? Opinions please
Sincerely I think that when someone try to compare bands that are totally different such as Led Zeppelin and ELP makes a big mistake. They just were great bands and that's all. Bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Queen, Yes and so on made the history of rock and unfortunately we have nothing similar today. Maybe because at that time they could experiment, while today the music business wants only "squeeze" more money possible from the artists.
People stopped asking for greatness, so the music industry stopped selling it. They found little kids around 12 years old to be a bigger market than the college students so they sell music to little kids.
re the cartoons, pro or con, you're both correct. sign of the times, and a distraction.
the other fact was most of the fans, (and also producers of these videos no doubt), were on acid, so that set it their priority rather than ELP . there is always that eternal conflict: the musicians vs the video producers. most of the times, as you see here,
the vid guys win out because they are in charge, not the musicians.
I really loved ELP's music as a teenager. I still love it, but now I can really appreciate how they were trying to "push the envelope." They certainly weren't imitators. They really were "creating". Well done.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you dont get it do u?
dont u think those idiotic set of cartoons were there to complement the progressive music that elp was playing, appart from being a fucking icon at that time?
dont u think elp wanted u 2 see that instead of them because the rapid-movement images look psychodelic just like the previous scenes?
No, YOU don't get it. Members of ELP don't appreciate the visualizations. Greg Lake has stated in interviews that he finds it annoying, but unfortunately was a sign of the times. Believe me, ELP wanted to be seen - they were justifiably proud of their talent.
I agree, but that was part of the artistic vision in those days. So many things in the 70's were horrible to watch, usually because the cameramen and their producers insisted on filming at stupid angles, using kaleidoscope effects, cheesy blue screen stuff, zooming in and out repetitively.... brutal haha! Just take it as a symbol of the times. Great song by the way! Pictures is my fave ELP album... no wait Trilogy... no- BSS... no....

You left out everything that had anything to do with the original Mussorgsky composition. But you did manage to leave in the inane comic book homage in the middle that ruins the whole video. Good job, dipshit.

The imagery was not added recently, it was done at the time the film was made and can't be undone. Unfortunately, this sort of thing was popular back in the day. It was supposed to be psychedelic.

So if I can only listen to one ELP album in my life which one should it be?
chazzplaya 3 years ago
ELP could have been considered underground in the day. I disagree about the acid rock moniker, they were more stoner music They blew me away then and still do now. I'm a bit more critical. Emerson rambles on keyboard more than he should ie. karn Evil 9, 2nd and 3rd, Lake wasn't much the lyricist. Tarkus is underrated. With Karn evil 9 1st, that's the definitive ELP and should have been enough to get them into Hall of Fame. There's nothing like those compositions and not likely to ever be.

ELP and prog-rock was mostly a male preserve. The females got their lite version of rock in the 80's, Def Leppard, Cinderella etc. It's like everything else now, the standards went down, excellence was deemed to be "self-indulgent". The Spinal Tap movie also made serious musicians out to be laughing stocks so that didn't help either.

@secordman:"ELP and prog-rock was mostly a male preserve." this idea somehow makes me smile - do you really think we were waiting till becoming twens to get to listen to some "lite version of rock in the 80's"?

...to jethro tull as well as to nazareth and to so many others if not "prog" but rock bands like deep purple, grand funk railroad, iron butterfly, led zeppelin, grateful dead...let's stop it here, I could continue on and on...it's great memories of an incredibly creative time I grew up in and even if for my kids it's sort of "mum having her minutes" when returning home into concert-like "fanfare to the common man" sound volume, they do join us for saga & j.tull concerts. -followed by 3-

Hm... I think you might have misunderstood him, he was not mentioning fans who listen to Rock music... he was talking about the musicians who play the actual music... there is a difference, and he is right, most of the prog bands were male dominated... nowadays, we have alot more females playing bass... guitar drums etc.
Ravenite1 3 years ago
possibly I did, sorry if, being no native english speaker of course I can't exclude misunderstandings...secordman didn't tell me so in his reply on my reaction. as neither Def Leppard nor Cinderella were or are joined by female musicians(as far as I know) I understood secordman talking about "the females got their lite version of rock in the 80's, Def Lep...,Cinder...etc" as referring to the females as audience, not as players. anyway, if it makes a difference to you we might as well ask him.

-2- in any case we probably agree on the subject of talking about unrivaled great music... written and played by most creative male musicians, no dispute. and I very much appreciate the opportunities of nowadays media such as youtube...for we could only listen to but not watch our well beloved bands...apart from concerts.

Yes, I am definatly not arguing that standards of today have pathetically fallen to an all time low in music... There are some bands with qaulity today, but its rare to find them and when you do, they have been shunned by radio stations and popular culture. Pretty sad isnt it?
Ravenite1 3 years ago 2
that's how it always worked. even thirty years ago it was only some stations at some times that played some of the songs (i.e. the most commercial ones which then became popular), the others you had to get somehow.
and doesn't REAL music always start with small gigs? I guess, every movement bears a seed of it's backlash in it, therefore might better times be coming up...at least hopefully. meanwhile I enjoy small events where real music takes place, I take the kids with me to give them -2-

Sorry to generalize, nice to see you mention Saga. :)
secordman 3 years ago
you don't have to apologize, that's alright. About Saga - I just love them. Saw them in december 07, one of the last concerts before Michael Sadler left the band. their life shows with small audiences -1000 fans or so- are (better have to say were) incredibly sweeping. I'm sort of torn between my regret about MS having left them -though I perfectly understand and respect his point! - and my curiosity about the ongoing of the band now that they found his successor. Any news about this in Canada?
inagaddad 3 years ago
You know, I didn't know that Saga had gotten back together. They were very big in Europe and Japan, not so much in the U.S. (and just another band in Canada).
secordman 3 years ago
except for Puerto Rico, where they have many fans and where they gave their very last concert together with Michael Sadler. I heard the new singer 'd be from Toronto...we're pretty curious to get to listen to the new voice...
(my kids would have voted for Tarja Turunen, ex-Nightwish singer but I've no idea whether she ever was talked about by Saga)
inagaddad 3 years ago
Yes they were unbelievable musicians without peers today. I challenge any young music listener of today to NOT enjoy Tarkus, Trilogy or Brain Salad Surgery. Trouble is though...the low attention span of the youth today means they would probably stick the X-Box on after 5 minutes...

Well I'm 16, and I absolutly adore ELP, I own Trilogy and Brain Sald Surgery and can easily listen to the whole of the 'Karn Evil 9' suite in one sitting.

Sincerely I think that when someone try to compare bands that are totally different such as Led Zeppelin and ELP makes a big mistake. They just were great bands and that's all. Bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis, King Crimson, Queen, Yes and so on made the history of rock and unfortunately we have nothing similar today. Maybe because at that time they could experiment, while today the music business wants only "squeeze" more money possible from the artists.
P.S. Sorry for my English

paul7703 3 years ago
re the cartoons, pro or con, you're both correct. sign of the times, and a distraction.
the other fact was most of the fans, (and also producers of these videos no doubt), were on acid, so that set it their priority rather than ELP . there is always that eternal conflict: the musicians vs the video producers. most of the times, as you see here,
the vid guys win out because they are in charge, not the musicians.
nice to see ELP on stage though.
personally, at those shows, i hated the cartoons.

No, YOU don't get it. Members of ELP don't appreciate the visualizations. Greg Lake has stated in interviews that he finds it annoying, but unfortunately was a sign of the times. Believe me, ELP wanted to be seen - they were justifiably proud of their talent.
inchargenow 4 years ago
I agree, but that was part of the artistic vision in those days. So many things in the 70's were horrible to watch, usually because the cameramen and their producers insisted on filming at stupid angles, using kaleidoscope effects, cheesy blue screen stuff, zooming in and out repetitively.... brutal haha! Just take it as a symbol of the times. Great song by the way! Pictures is my fave ELP album... no wait Trilogy... no- BSS... no....
