if you didn't see them at maple leaf gardens, you have no idea how good they are...brain salad surgery is a classic and I remember it like it was today...I was one of the "lucky men" in the 70's because I can still remember...
You canNOT compare Zeppelin with ELP. Two entirely different genre's. ELP is almost soley classical based and Zepplin is almost all solely based on blues. In case you didn't realize it, blues is what later became rock. It cracks me up every time I hear someone go nuts over Sweet Child O' Mine sung by the no-talent punk Rose. it was actually a song written in the 40's as a blues song. But then no one wants to hear that......lol!
@castello669 The problem with that is that TANK came after Take A pebble, so I would think that the part of TANK that you are referring to would have been a modified piece of Take A Pebble; OOoooooorrrrrrr, it's just a signature Emerson riff that probably traversed many of their songs including Hoedown ans BSS. That was what made them so great: part Jazz, part Rock, part Classical, even part Swing. ELP were the original Masters Of Fusion (did I just say that, yikes!).
@cbxsage Not really, they're both in their debut album, and the version of Take a Pebble there does not have that Tank part in it. In fact, this is the only video i've seen them doing it. Not even in the "Welcome Back My Friends" version, which has a whole track called "Piano Improvisations" in between Take a pebbles you notice any part of Tank in it. So, This video just shows them improvisating live, doing whatever they want and perfectly.
Where and when was this recorded?

i can't decide who is better....Emerson? or Wakeman? i guess both have their own unique styles! :)

@CrimsonKing73 Hmmmm. Emerson was a virtuous, but wakeman can play like 3 organs at the same time. Really hard to decide.

At the moment I am learning the Jazz Part of this on my Piano, and it's difficult like hell. Keith Emerson is just a genius.
