I think the existing R7R HOF should be ignored and replaced w/ another that focuses on the musicality of rock & rock ONLY. No Michael Jackson, etc., etc. No pop - no rap crap. R & R, soul, blues and I may be missing something but you get the idea. And it Must have nothing to do w/ RS Ragazine. They told Steve Miller that he isn't even rock and roll. Huh? They are sell out who only look at the charts and proceed accordingly. Do you know how many #1s Yes has had. 1. And they barely squeaked in after 48 years. So to me it's essentially a non entity. They are a closed mind.

@@guywhite1004 preservation usually is done best by taking every chance you got. Getting it out there on as many mediums as possible is the best way. History has shown time and time again that the best chance of preservation is through fame/being known. If a piece of art/culture, be it a story, a legend or music is well-known there will be people who will care for it and cherish it. Those people will make sure it will live throughout the ages, in whatever format or medium there is. It won't always be ideal, but it will be there. Which is a Heck of a lot better than absolute majority of humanities musical history. Most, almost everything actually is gone forever and we don't even know what we have lost.

Carl Palmer:: We did record a video for “Fanfare…” at the Montreal Olympic stadium.... It was something like 20 degrees below, it was extremely cold. We managed to shoot three times - a few cameras on one person, a whole take, the same on the next guy, the same on the next guy - and then one take of all of us playing together. But it was very, very cold. The music has lasted, though, it has endured and it’s been truly fantastic. I mean, quality always lasts, and I sincerely believe that we had a lot of quality going there - we weren’t just a prog band, we had pretty songs as well. So it was quite eclectic.

The real crime with ELP is that that 2 of them have already passed away before being inducted into the R&R HOF.

The enormous body of their work was incredible and the talent and creativity of these groups will never be appreciated now.

Hi Jim, saw your comment about HOF and have to comment. It truly is a shame ELP was snubbed for decades, just like the Moody Blues, but finally, they were inducted this year. And...an effort has been started to get ELP nominated this year (inducted in 2019). And -- it CAN happen!!!! I have been involved in this effort personally: I talked to a HOF museum curator in January 2018 & started rolling with it, so I know everything that has happened since & that the effort is gaining momentum and also starting to get support from some VERY important people. I myself reached out to many, many music industry editors, journalists, critics, magazines and book authors in the US and UK, and also contacted drum, organ and guitar companies in the US and UK. But it still helps to have people like yourself send in a letter, stating what ELP meant to you. In the end, it isn't about the HOF (though it is their institution); it is about "the band" and their loved ones. Think about young Ethan Emerson, who, at only 12 years old, shows he is already a very gifted player. He, among others, is carrying on part of that legacy, so that's why it is so important that we remind the HOF of just who ELP was, what they were about, and how they STILL influence/affect us, this many years later. Then, get ready for October 2018, when DAILY voting for the nominees starts. Thanks!!!

I am also mid sixties. I heard this on stage in Toronto on the same tour as well as the fkirst ELP "tarkus" tour at the london pallidium the previous year. This piece is being played in the middle of a montreal winter and it must be minus silly degrees. Such is fortitude.

Look at the guys playing through the frost, look at there standard of music, no computers, playing live, just pure magic, love ELP 54 years ago, like watching Mozart ahead of their time by miles, I watch this pretty much every week, so good.

Part of an interview with Greg Lake: LAKE: I remember we were rehearsing in a basement beneath the Olympic stadium. It was the only place large enough to fit the whole orchestra in to rehearse. A phone call came in and I had to go up and take it, and everybody took a coffee break. So during that break I took the elevator up to the ground floor, which actually took me to the Olympic stadium. We had just heard that they wanted to release it as a single. My initial reaction was like, 'Well, no, we're too busy doing the rehearsals with the orchestra.' And I went up to the stadium and I was looking at this absolutely mind-blowing site, covered in virgin snow, with the Olympic rings lit up in neon lights at both ends. It was an eerie sight, begging for something to happen, and I thought, ‘Video.’ We got the crew to move the gear up to the stadium the next day to start recording. Of course, what we didn’t plan was for it to be way below zero. My fingers would literally slip through the strings. So we had to record it in fairly short bursts, but it was a lovely film in the end.

Such artistry, musical talent and composition of their works, truly original sound that brought me much joy and awakened my creative juices as I would listen to this during my professional photography career while working on still lifes and photography projects in my studios over many years. So glad this popped up on my KZread the other day.

Look mum no computer creates wild beats from homemade analogue synthesisers. Long distance calling have an undeniable mastery of their craft. I think we are often unable to compare older acts like ELP to modern acts due to the fact that you're never gonna see them in the same context as you would modern musicians.

That's a very touching story, I appreciate you sharing that. I can also relate to the Still You Turn Me On song, as it relates to the loss of a musician girl friend recently. It's awesome every time I hear it, and empowering in a way. I think listening to music you can relate to keeps you moving forward, not dwelling in the past.

I remember this song SO well. Recorded in the Montreal Olympic Stadium as I remember. An amazing rock piece!

My late father actually obtained the contract to manufacture the drum stands and microphone stand at his factory in Kings Cross ((London) so everytime i see this reminds me of him.❤️

Just remember... ALL the sound you hear came from just THREE musicians. And the technology (in the keyboards) was from the 1970s!!! The guitar and drums were just as ordinary as you might imagine... played by EXTRAordinary musicians. In a period when 'supergroups' were all the rage, THIS WAS the supergroup.
