Film taken in their "Manticore" studio / store building in the old cinema in Fulham. The screen had been removed and the stage was used by sundry acts to rehearse upcoming tours. In another area were large black storage boxes with the initials "ELP" printed thereon. Back in the day the roadies let me in, as I was hoping to catch sight of my heroes ELP. During that time I saw "Jethro Tull", and other acts. After a few days of nothing, a smart young guy arrived and asked me what I wanted there. I explained my mission and hopes to which he replied,"I'm the drummer". Yes, it was Carl and I hadn't recognised him. "Come upstairs if you like, the others will be here soon". I went upstairs to this room in the film and hung with them while they did their thing, pausing, stopping to ask me questions such as; which were my favourite tracks, which albums did I like best etc etc. Carl played like a madman and his eyes would roll into his eyelids as he played. I stayed a while chatting and being with my heroes, the dream of a lifetime. They were quiet natured and unassuming. Since then I have seen them twice live in Toronto and shaken Keith's hand there on stage. The memories are alive and I continue to love their genius music. RIP Keith and Greg: Good luck and all the very best to Carl.

Great story! I was at the Toronto show - a few rows from the front - seated in front of Greg Lake standing on the Persian rug. Greg's bass notes were so penetrating I felt them rattling my rib cage. I still have my ticket stub, I will never forget it. The greatest show I have ever seen. ELP were my heroes too. I had our basement rigged with color organ machines, lights, and large column speakers to try to replicate the concert in some small way. I gave shows to my friends featuring ELP and my parents never complained, they knew I loved them. I have just gone through all the material out there after so many years. I am 64 years of age. I was so sad as I received the news that Keith and Greg had passed. RIP Greg Lake and Keith Emerson.

@MeT2338 The only reply that springs to my mind is simply - "Wow!" What a blessing! I would love to have spent time hanging out with those brilliant musical icons, even if it was only just to fetch them pots of tea or warm their slippers. They were all brilliant musicians but, as a keyboard player myself, KE obviously inspired me more than anybody else (but he also intimidated me with this unreachable level of accomplishment and peerless technique). Still, at least I had sufficient musical acumen to appreciate how far above my level they all were and to aim as high as I could. I guess I didn't do too badly because I've still managed to scrape a living for nearly fifty years as a full-time professional musician. I attribute much of that modest achievement to the inspiration I got from the great Keith Emerson when I was a teenager in the seventies.

Amazing footage! And Keith and Greg are so gorgeous! One of the greatest bands to ever form! Period! When Keith died I just couldn’t see that in his spirit? I so wish it was 1972 again!

My heroes. Lake looks like he's got it totally together and waiting patiently for E and P to get it. E and P have high squeaky voices too so no wonder they didn't sing. Lake's voice is so iconic it was the only one required. The others sang with their instruments. This album was such a culmination. Amazing footage I never imagined existed.

True story- When Carl joined ELP, he wasn’t even 21 years old. So he was not “legally” allowed to celebrate with others after the concerts etc. He had to wait 2 or 3 to start acting like real rockstar!!! Read it from an interview that someone did to Keith. I had also seen Keith tell the story on video and he was cracking up all the time!!!🤣🤣

Never ever been anything like these guys since...

At 2:50, Emerson stops to clarify the bass note in an augmented chord. He says to Greg 'I think it's B'. Lake says 'B what?' Keith's reply is priceless! 'You may well ask...'

Masters at work

They still got along well with each other. Unfortunately after the 1974 tour the relationship between Greg and Keith was never the same again. That explains the change, a creative stagnation as a band and the end. Although they continued as soloists or in other projects, they were never the same again.

See you great musicians in heaven! ️RIP KEITH AND GREG

Sao meus herois. Como Pink Floyd e Yes. E Zappa, Gentle Giant e The Doors.

ELP waren schon einzigartig und eine perfektes musikalische Trio, leider hat damals nicht jeder diese Genies verstanden! Beste Grüße, Horst Lemke, Musikproduzent, Germany Ps. Tarkus war für mich meine Favorit, aber alle anderen Alben hatten ebenfalls hohes Potential!

Grazie mille ! ! :D

According to this video and Get Back documental, Keith was more democratic than Paul in the creative process. Keith was giving and receiving feedback. Paul was more of telling the others how to play their parts. I love Paul, he's a machine, but poor George, he was really frustrated.
