Emerson Lake and Palmer - Nutrocker

[greg55666]

Can I say something? That belt is the most awesome thing I have ever seen. If I owned that belt, I too would wear it outside all my clothes at all times.

[greg55666]

Nutrocker, I get it. See what they did there?

[philipbarrett2003]

Audio is from Newcastle City Hall "Pictures at an Exhibition" album, video also appears to be of same.

[rmtmiller]

Palmer is still hot.

[matthehat]

Any idea what show this was from? It isn't the Newcastle City Hall one from the Pictures at an Exhibition album is it?

[Giannibike]

1:39 THE BEST PART! ;D



[1984laportuale]

my mind squirt!

[TheFearlessFreep]

I'm a 3 month old cuttlefish and I love this because my dad listens all time.

[bennyt250]

can i get a link or something to a chord chart/lead sheet?!

[schalvmig]

good clavinet ;)

[Davido1956]

Emmerson på sitt beste han sa att det finns ikke ustemte pianoer bare ustemte musikkere :)

[phineas117]

keith never went to any music school. he was taught by local teachers.

just raw talent.

[atomicpunk48]

I wonder if these guys have ever met Bobby Orr.

[swaggs]

Carl Palmer is my all time favorite drummer.

[MetalandHotRods]

the Boston Bruins are back tonight! raising the Stanley Cup Banner!!!! (this was the Bruins tv theme in the 70's)

[sehaalturk]

Keith Emerson did go to Juliard School of Music.

[rignrolltrucker]

I'm the 1492nd like, so I discovered America?

[pennylaneproductions]

Saw them in 92-93 tour (Black Moon) ...no surprise, they RULED!

[phineas117]

and carl is just a baby here. about 20 years old, and very talented!

[phineas117]

keith never went to Academy. he only had local lessions on piano.

[idle44]

Amazing what 3 years in a famous Classical Music Academy can do for you. Love it! also love Rick wakeman- same route to stardom!

[colaseg]

i was born in 90s and i love it

[DIGTV58]

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE FLYING PIANO

[marcio2492]

he looks like alvin lee ...

[hfield07]

great cover i never knew they covered this

[21stcenturysmadman]

camera switch is working good. carls drums solo is actually monotone therefore little bit boring. but its still a good song.

[annikee59]

Keith was a maniac in those days. What a joy this is.

[bobby71164]

Remember this tune all you Boston Bruins fans! It was the Bruins theme song way back in 70's. Great ELP tune!

[bobby71164]

Remember this song all Boston Bruins fans! This was theme song for Bruins way back in 70's. Great tune!

[rmtmiller]

Remember Aragorn's hair throughout most of the LOTR's trilogy?

[captainshadowdreamer]

BRUINS WIN THE STANLEY CUP. I HOPE VANCOUVER IS ENJOYING A MASSIVE FEAST OF HUMBLE PIE!

[MrJBRoch]

BRUINS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paulsak59]

Bruins are destined to win the Stanley Cup in less than 24 hours from now.

[sonoferin]

GO BRUINS!!!

[locofan10]

Thumbs up if you agree!

[ProfFabioNogueira]

nut crackingly awesome!

[Dashn1YT]

Vai tocar assim no inferno!!!LONG LIVE PROG

[louswire]

Prog-rock ruled then... there really hasn't been much since . This was the song playing on my 8-track the 1st time I broke 130MPH in my old Mustang... Just flying down the Jersey Turnpike on my way back to the base sometime back in the mid 70's.

[Fritz641]

@louswire i can picture that in my hear so clearly

[ThePinkguns]

what is a nutrocker?? i dont wanna sound stuped or something

[nomoreties]

@ThePinkguns

It's just a pan: this is a "rock-style" arrangement of the "March of wooden soldiers" from "The Nutcracker", a suite by P.I. Tchaikovsky (see you tube.com/watch?v=GqQl120IMH8 )

[FormerKievan]

41 dislikes are hairdressers who lost jobs in seventies.

[ciao614]

@FormerKievan LMAO!!!.... I'm a hairdresser who got started in the glorious rich days of the 80's when even men were coloring, hilighting, perming and oh yes..teasing their hair!! I had so much money I didn't know what to do...

[bestcutester]

@FormerKievan LMAO!

[rock2756]

This was the Boston Bruins theme song in the 70's.

[Natscratchernorland]

@kingbee48185 While I have to agree with you, there's still plenty of great stuff out there, it's just not mainstream any more

[beckyboomerang]

woo hoo!

[Interst890]

at 1:18 greg yells "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH" and just keith turns around sayin "hey, this is an instrumental!" haha i laugh every time

[TwistedAnvil]

@Interst890 I noticed that too, made me laugh XD

[lewisner]

Not a patch on the original.

[illbunch]

@larrylawyergorman you can't put the Gorillaz and LCD Soundsystem in the same discussion with Pink Floyd, Thin Lizzy or ELP.

Really it's something you can't do.

Learn how to play in instrument first, then think about the meaning of the word "INNOVATION".

The bands you're speaking about have nothing to do with the genius you could breathe during the late 60's and the 70's.

Sorry, but you should try to find some better arguments then a simply "fuck you", your bad education doesn't impress anyone.

[gideoncho]

Nutrocker¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[kingbee48185]

Yes, Genesis, The WHO, ELP, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and other progressive bands rocked us to the core. Prior to that we had Jimi, Janis. SRV and Rush still rocked in the 80s, but for the most part, the golden era of music seemed to end around the late 70s with the advent of punk and disco. I knew the end of the world was near when Michael fruitcake jackson's "Thriller" outsold Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. Todays music sucks in comparison.

[supersonictara]

I LOVE THIS MUSIC GREAT !THANKS EL&P!!!

[annikee59]

I just love Emo going nuts in this! I could watch them all, 24/7, for the rest of my life and never get bored & always catch something new. Freakin incredible.

[Kilchattan7]

Tchai via Fowley and 3 loonies who can actually play at faster than 20 frames/sec

[Sundancetr4]

Damn he makes looks so friggen easy.

[Nawtas90]

Simply the best

[odilonlol]

my fathe is old hippy and my father likes this music

[markarianman]

this video is cut, there are some parts ausent, and over put other images repetitive. But is good vid and excelent interpretation.

nutrocker yeah

[MrRedemption1]

That was a time when music still was music

[JVOCQC]

The London Hunt Club

[donflee]

This song was done in 1962 by B. Bumble and the Stingers

[northropo]

I never realized what a huge influence ragtime music was to Emerson. At the time this came out it sounded so original and ground breaking because there was nothing else like it. Now, almost 40 years later, as the boundaries of music have expanded in nearly every possible direction, do I realize what innovators ELP were. Truly remarkable! Thanks for the post.

[chomazu]

@northropo keith emerson was not really influenced by rag time music. this piece was adapted from the nutcracker suite composed by tchaikovsky. keith was trained as a classical pianist, he just jazzes up an old classic. tchaikovsky is hardly rag time and rag time is way over forty years. if you listen to the nutcracker suite you will hear this tune, but it will sound a little different than keith's version...trust me!

[annikee59]

@northropo In Emo's autobio he talks about playing ragtime and jazz a lot. It's not incredibly well-written, but it's worth reading for all the info & you can get it at a good price on Amazon. Get yrself a Xmas present! ;)

[paulmagill1]

kewllllllllll

[lexus400]

This is a brilliant masterpiece by them oh so talented professional musicians ELP.

Nothing today can compare with the hard work and intense enthusiasm that ELP brought us.

[Oskkarification]

ELP uno de los grupos mas importantes de la musica contemporánea , sus interpretaciones son fantasticas y su sonido abrió un camino que aún no ha sido superado.

[Vaan618]

Love this disc. Actually, all ELP's discs, especially works vol. 1 and Brain Salad Surgery

[radiootoo]

YAY! The HOLIDAYS are officially here!

[z3z4z3z4z3z4z3z4]

gtdjy

[tsar4]

Actually this is a jazzed up cover of B. Bumble & The Stingers "Nutrocker".

[trapperbt]

Tchaikovsky March from the nutcracker

[slayerrules114]

@trapperbt incorrect, B Bumble and the Stingers.

[trapperbt]

Keith Emerson adapted "Nutrocker" from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker suite. unfortunately I have forgotten what movement. I'm sure it's somewhere on youtube. Chk it out. It almost rocks just as much.

[WimGrundy]

"TARKUS" helped me in 1971 get through the 'Nam....

[STEVE25406]

my 2 faves on keys keith and chick corea r interesting in their being so similiar in the keys they chose and how they played them.they both played the shit out of all the boards they could find .keith didnt play much rhodes tho and chick didnt play much organ.The stylistic approaches and contrasts(not prog rock and jazz prog withstanding) bear note when 1 lokks at these 2 giants of keys.Check keith on hammond and chick on rhodes

[kingbee48185]

This was a time in music that will never be repeated. ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull were in their heyday. Today's music simply sucks by comparison

[mistersusan1471]

@kingbee48185 I would say today's POP music sucks, but progressive music is still around. Dream Theatre, opeth, tool etc. Lookup octavarium by dream theatre. PROG LIVES!! :)

[LarryLawyerGorman]

@kingbee48185 This is absolutely not true. If you're not interested in searching today's good music please, shut up.

[kingbee48185]

@LarryLawyerGorman I got a taste of today's music during the last superbowl. Who the fuck are the "black eyed peas"??? I couldn't figure out if I was watching a freak show or jungle warfare but I hit the mute button after about 2 minutes. I guess that is a good name for them, because any real music lover would love to give them black eyes or better yet, cut their tongues out so we don't have to listen to the dog shit. Like most modern music, it sucks and so does your mother if you don't agree

[LarryLawyerGorman]

@kingbee48185 Fuck you. Fuck you and then search for Boards of Canada, Animal Collective, Fleet Foxes, LCD Soundsystem, Shit and shine, Explosions in the sky, Lightning Bolt, Gorillaz, Fiery furnaces etc...

Then fuck you again, because you don't know enough music to argue.

[acfiorentina]

@kingbee48185 ...And Genesis, and Led Zeppelin, and King Crimson, and Deep Purple, and Lou Reed, and The Who...

[oddbodjr1]

@kingbee48185 You don't even need to compare it, most of Todays music just sucks.

[beagleboy1955]

@kingbee48185 , You aint just whistling Dixie ! Couldn't have said it better!!!!!! Great Post and GREAT MIND!

[LordNoob1]

@kingbee48185 Music with intruments! ;)

Awesome :D

[DavidKinner]

@kingbee48185 Porcupine Tree is from today and they are quite AMAZING I hugely recommend them if you haven't heard them yet!!! Also, you forgot King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Genesis(Peter Gabriel), Camel, Comus, and Gentle Giant.

[crackzzz123]

@kingbee48185 and genesis

[whatshendrix]

@kingbee48185

OR maybe you haven't found the good stuff. Rock and metal are starting to suck big time, but there's tons of other great stuff to compensate for that.

[GPWS339]

@kingbee48185 I agree 1,000%. Just one thing. IMO, Rush belongs on this list. I felt as if they "grabbed the torch" from these legendard bands.

[ravenseldon]

@kingbee48185 - listen to some Protest The Hero...

[wfly81]

@kingbee48185 And Rush...and Nektar. Just sayin'!

[artrocker65]

@kingbee48185 True, but tell us something we don't know. :)

[kingbee48185]

Pink Floyd, Yes, and ELP were in their heyday, along with Jethro Tull. This was a golden era of progessive music which we will never see again. I am so glad that some of it was caught on video. The music of the 80s up until the present simply sucks by comparison

[dcarroll74]

Sorry to burst the bubble. Was done first by B. Bumble and The Stingers in 1962. Still prefer ELPs versions, live and recorded.

[jdheather1]

I have Keith Emerson to thank for turning me onto both classical music and progressive Rock! Thank you ELP!

[Criterion99]

Keith Emerson = Noel Fielding!

[zigzag909]

Not as good as Chas and Dave.

[NeilThompson30]

@zigzag909 - I don't know about that -

I actually agree with the comment before yours.

[kamekame1363]

ＥＬＰが一番だった



[ssinger67]

"What classical composition"? Wow, kids these days :)

It's an adaptation of "March" from "The Nutcracker Suite" by Tchaikovsky.

[woorso]

Which classical composition was made on?(sorry for my english i don't whink that it's good)

[woorso]

What classical composition is this??

[cetko13]

@woorso "The Nutcracker" by Tchaikovsky

[woorso]

@cetko13 Thanks man!!

[mondialferrari]

CLAVINET RULES

CLAVINET BEST INSTRUMENTS ON THE WORLD!

[WhackAChicken]

What's Emerson playing?

Is it a clavi, clavinet, or harpsichord? Or is it something else?

[lostinthehazeoftime]

Music still is...you just have to look hard enough for it. This isn't the best or their best but good entertainment though.

[pinknpurplemonkey]

THIS is the way to hear the Ballet!

[MichG1974]

these guys are incredible. if a new tour came out, my 5 and 4 year old boys would love it

[MrAndyboston]

@MichG1974 they played in London on Sunday, 25/07/10, still the magic was there

[xXTiberiusXx]

i feel so sorry for emerson. he has to play hoedown, and then this. LOL

[HAMAGINKO]

好きな曲です＾＾

[dvaidr]

Come back those heady days of prog.......

[ColdOasisU2]

i'm sorry but this is COMEDY progressive band, one of the worst band to pretend they make rock'n'roll...if they know what rock'n'roll means. This is th only time i agree with critics musician

[lololiet]

@ColdOasisU2 I can see why you normally disagree with the Critics because usually the Critics, like all people whit any sort of music taste, shit all over Coldplay, which, given your name is probably one of your favorite bands, Sadly for you though do most "Critics" consider ELP as one of the greatest and technically most proficient bands of all time. So it probably would be greatly appreciated by everyone here if you could just ut the Trolling, as It's Fucking annoying

[D0uggie]

@ColdOasisU2 Why do you keep going on to all of the ELP videos and saying this. Is this one of those things like picking on a girl and pretend you aren't interested when really you are? Are you using this as a chance to listen to them? =O

[xXTiberiusXx]

@ColdOasisU2

hey man. this is not one of their songs. this is one of their covers okay. understand? They also did lots of copeland. like hoedown. then there was peter gunn, fanfare for the common man. CAPICHE? Listen to tarkus, jerusalem, and the great gates of kiev if you want to be pleased. Philistine.

[nikolas2778]

this is very nutty but also it is grand . i dont know it could come of any age really . it does not sound as if it is seventies

[spritelymuse]

ELP!! One of the greatest bands ever! Palmer and Lake kick asssss., man! <3

[TonyHotlips]

GREAT!! Now this what you called MUSIC!!

[MrVzoo]

jópofa feldolgozás. :D

[toketlenfecske]

@MrVzoo Jé, egy magyar...:-) *rácsodálkozik-minthamégnemlát­ottvolnailyet* Szerintem is jó lett, pedig én nem igazán szeretem az ELP-et.(Mondjuk nem is nagyon ismerem...) De vannak nagyon jó számaik.

(Na végre nem kellett törnöm az angolt...XD)

[handyguy007]

justin bieber sucks ball compared to this!!!!!

...well, then again,... justin bieber sucks balls compared to anything!!

ELP 4evah!!!!

[MrLorazepan]

tan muy cabrones estos mùsicos. todos debemos conocer estos grupos.

[DreadFugitiveMind]

sounds like Mario 3 xDDDDD

[morrowindsky]

Now THAT'S how clavinets were meant to be played.

[quaccosa]

CHI LA SUONA CON ME?!?!?!?!?!

[EmersonBlues88]

@quaccosa Mi offro volontario!!!

[iampeniel]

I went to one of there concerts and they played the whole album of Pictures atan exhibition it was the most awesome lsd high since the Jethro Tull concert Passion Play.

[beanmeister]

A totally awesome performance from the legendary ELP. Brain salad surgery - one of the best albums ever released!!! whoop!

[wpiggy1]

@beanmeister That's not from "Brain salad surgery". It appears on "Pictures At An Exhibition". This masterpiece (originally named "March") taken from "The Nutcracker", a two-act ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. And this "boogie" cover (called "Nut rocker") originally made by B. Bumble and the Stingers in 1962.

But anyway ELP performance is totally awesome!!!

[beanmeister]

@wpiggy1 I know, I was just advertising brain salad surgery as a great album at the same time, maybe I should have been a bit clearer! :)

[imaginosable]

Rhapsody in rock. :-)

[judissima]

Derek Sanderspn! Chief Bucyk-gave us something to do between watching the Three Stooges.

[im4out]

good stuff

[FinlandsThunder]

Okay, so I admit it. I'm a metal head. But I pull SOOOO much influence from these guys. Carl Palmer is one of my favourite drummers ever. Along with Mario Duplantier.

[rickobolan]

This is most favorite music of ELP that I love , thanx for uploading ! !

[Daveparts]

1956 Bee bumble and the stingers!

[pr0v0l1]

ELP IS THE BEST

[judissima]

Boston Bruins theme music back in the Orr-Sanderson days....then I discovered they actually played amazing music.

[jimbobubbadj]

@judissima Bobby Orr, Phil Episosito, Ken Hodge and Company playing the Canadiens, great stuff! Channel 38 ruled! Tom Larson!

[sweetfly66]

@judissima .... holy shit , right you are ..... remember Fred and Dereck calling the games on channel 38 .... those were the days .... I am still a bruins fan , like Andy hate Jack

[anotherbluesguy]

@judissima Ice skating at the city pond back in 77' the city employee whom tended the pond would only play ELP over the loud speakers way up on the pole ,remember those ? ELP made us skate faster and faster and faster .Actually made us all better skaters and in turn better hockey players ! It rocked then, it rocks now !
