I'm a fan of Emerson, and I really like this song - mostly for Emerson's playing. The fishnet-stockinged gals were a bad decision. I can't even imagine Robert Berry singing any of Greg Lake's songs.

@KaGoMusic Robert Berry does an absolutely awesome job of singing Karn Evil 9 on the ELP tribute CD. But when it came to the live performances of 3 Emerson and Palmer chose to do only instrumental songs from ELP albums.

You can date this almost to the month by Emo's board sounds, or failing that, by the hair styles. Do you think they were getting pissed off by their fan base being 98% male and used this as an excuse to get some chicks in fishnet stockings into the "picture" if u know what I'm saying.

Even Emo's signature chord progressions don't save this woeful effort.

@douglasdg1999 Ah, freedom of speech for thee, but not for me.

Never saw this before, and I'm not surprised. I did, however, see endless copies of the cassette and CD copies of their album in the bargain-bins for the next ten years, and the record-stores lierally couldn't give the thing away. Berry sounds way too much like Trevor Rabin for my liking, and the whole thing smacks of wanting to be bigger than Asia and being seen on MTV.

I actually liked the "3" album better than any of my ELP albums.

At the Bodega Club, The Robert Berry Band started to play around 9:30.

After a few minutes, we heard this wild keyboard playing., but there was no one

at the keyboards.??

A spot light blasted at the front door and in comes Keith Emerson playing a portable keyboard on a shoulder strap. He was WHAALINNN AWAY. He made it thru the crowd and took a stance behind all the keyboards..A Purely AWESOME show..!

It was a wild time...! The day after the Big Earthquake in the Bay Area!! I was lucky to see Keith Emerson & The Robert Berry Band play at the Bodega Club in Campbell CA.. Oct. 18, 1989.. then the next night was Emerson Berry & Palmer at another club in San Jose.

I showed up at the Bodega at 7pm and met Keith. We shared many drinks and he signed an album cover for me..! We partied at the Los Gatos Inn that weekend..All night.!! Great Memories.!1

@B3Rock - I was at that show too. I think the late Mark Samansky introduced them. Sitting at the stage, with my feet under the stage, about 10 feet from Emo. When they came out and started playing Hoedown, after about 30 seconds they blew all the circuit breakers in the place. Took about 20 minutes for them to figure out what they could turn on and what had to stay off. So, they only had white lighting, and almost no air conditioning. But it was a great show. Have some great pictures.

So sorry all ~ Mr. Berry wrote this song while entertaining his fans with his Robert Berry Band in the 1980's ... I know, I was there and this song is Awesome!!! 3 did change it up a bit for Emerson ~ but I prefer the original <3
