Me too. I saw them in Princeton, NJ, when i was in grad school. In Jadwin gymnasium at the University. Then in San Francisco when they did the big quadraphonic set up. Then on the river in NJ with Jethro Tull. Some of best shows I ever saw.

God how am I not going to cry writing this. I am so deeply grateful for this documentary! ELP was my obsession! Lately I've been thinking about ELP and the gift of their music, and I have to say that they taught me about musicianship, creativity from the heart and soul of the performer; how to really listen to compositions. THey did expose me as Greg says to classical music which no one from my background was going to do. They gave me a musical education that otherwise would have been out of reach. As a result, I KNOW good music; I KNOW what a talented musician sounds like. I know music that is created from the heart and soul. I'm in my 60s now, but every one of their songs brings me back to the thrill of listening to their music when I was a teenager. They were an extraordinary band. Funny, I'm back being obsessed with ELP just like it was the 70s again. When its time for me to cross over, I want to hear an ELP concert in Heaven! Thats the very definition of Heaven for me.

Could not agree more. Keith and the Nice introduced me to classical music - Five Bridges and The Pathetique etc.. I’m 62 now but had 3 older brothers so my musical education was influenced by their tastes thankfully. Still listen to ELP regularly. Pictures probably my favourite ELP album - extraordinary album.

Such a superb documentary, very frank and compelling. ELP have had many critics, but this film adequately demonstrates why these critics are simply just blown out of the water. Not only were Emerson, Lake and Palmer three of the most exceptional musicians that have ever lived, but the whole of the personnel behind the production and the tours were also incredible. The orchestra were fantastic too. There are many brilliant bands and musicians, but not that many that could match ELP.

They should be in the rock n roll hall of fame!

My mom was born in 1955, the perfect age for all of this great music. And still, I don't feel like I missed it. She raised me on the stereo, not the TV. All day, all night, it was music. Everything from ELP to the Stooges. Roxy music to Little Feat. Frank Zappa to Neil Young. She wasn't hung up on genres or subcultures. She only cared about one thing - Was it GOOD? Was it emotive, evocative, powerful...did it find something inside you and set it on fire? She loved music. And she gave me that gift. I had a pile of favorite albums by the time I was 3. And she still does. Half of the current bands I like were introduced to me by my mother, who is now in her 60s. She still sings, dances, goes to shows. If you really love music, that's something in you that can never die. And she passed that on to me. Now I have two little ones of my own. And I do the same. I don't let the sounds of my house be dominated by Disney movies and pop radio garbage, then play my music quietly when the kids are asleep. Music rules my home. Everything from Steely Dan to the Eagles of Death Metal. I sing, I dance. And my kids, I hope, will inherit the gift my mother gave me. People often lament the loss of great music like this. DON'T. It can't be lost. Not as long as YOU play it. And people hear it. Good music will ALWAYS stand the test of time, always find new, young fans. Put on that record, and turn it up!

ELP needs to be inducted into the RnR HOF..

Emerson explains it perfectly. All three are great artists in themselves. Together they made greatness.

When I first heard 'Tarkus' way back then - I was stunned. Years ahead of their time. Very unique sound by a remarkably talented trio.

Hats off for the Lads, Keith, Greg and Carl. (To all you young ones…… listen carefully to these guys, this will never ever happen’d again)

Keith and Greg both died in 2016, only 5 years after this was made, Keith from suicide after physical problems and depression got to him and Greg after a long cancer battle. A great loss to the music industry.

Some of the greatest musicians and one of the greatest, most innovative bands music has ever known. To this day, Keith Emerson is still the standard by which other keyboardists are judged. Greg Lake had a resonance to his voice and sense of melody that was so emotive - it drew your ear right in. Carl Palmer was an amazing drummer and one of, if not the first drummer from rock that played a set that completely surrounded him including gongs, timpani and all sorts of percussion. That tradition would be carried on by many of rocks greatest drummers. True originality in music is very rare and ELP was a very rare band. Long Live ELP!

Losing Keith and Greg (as well as Chris Squire) was like losing my older brothers.. You follow these guys career and personal life since youre 8 or 9yrs old and that what it feels like. Just completely lost with music now.

Yeah, it was a rough stretch losing our prog heroes, masters of their instruments, inspirational, and everything possible in our language to state how they were inclusive and exclusive at the same time, on the same note, but there was/is this thing about each whose life will be alive wherever there is a musical story to tell. Greg Lake, his vocals on the tenderest of songs from King Crimson to ELP did beg a few tears at the right time. Keith Emerson opened the doors of modern classical music by transporting note for note into his amazing gear, and what emerged from those towers of amps. His is a sound, IS because the music is alive, I can’t say all of my heart. IT would take days. Keith and his bloodline Greg just could not live one without the other, and I understand.

God bless Aaron and his grandson for keeping his legacy going, and Carl for being the keeper of the flame for ELP.

Carl Palmer is one of the best Drummer!

There was a time ELP was the biggest band in the world. and their concert attendance was beyond huge. I remember thinking these guys were actually bigger than the Beatles, in terms of concert attendance and the music they produced was like nothing ever seen in a R + R idiom. Saw them 3 times in the early 70's and remember thinking you are not going to get better music than this. At least that was my thought then. I've seen Carl Palmer recently with his band C.P Legacy and they were killing it.Glad Carl is still performing.

Bigger than the Beatles. Really? No. The Beatles - who came well before ELP - had literally changed the world, the effects still reverberating today. And certainly paved the way for British bands to come to America and become successful (the "British Invasion"). Simply put: No Beatles, no ELP. Nor any other British or even new American band. Keep in mind the Beatles had already disbanded by the time ELP emerged. Finally, the major test, as determined by the passage of time: What LASTING impact on the world did the Beatles have? You know the obvious answer. Now, what about ELP? Although I am a big fan of ELP, they had nowhere the impact of the Beatles. Not even remotely close.

For me ELP was, is and forever be the greatest band that ever existed on this planet. Thank you Tony for sharing this video with us.

When Keith died, I finally got around to listening to ELP, that prog band that I'd never really bothered with who made the radio staple "Lucky Man." By the time Greg died about eight months later, I had collected all ELP's albums on digital and vinyl and had found new all-time favorites like "Tarkus," "Still... You Turn Me On," "Fanfare for the Common Man," "Black Moon," and "C'est la Vie." Thank you, ELP. When I get a dog, I'm naming him Tarkus.

A wonderful trio - the best thst the world has ever seen. They were like a conventional 5 piece band, with two musical virtuosos, but with Greg Lake, there were three talents rolled into one, a good guitarist and bassist, along with being a superb vocalist. They were the ultimate group.

The fact that people still listen, still hold the flame of ELP up for new listeners to discover is what really matters. Us 'in the trenches' music lovers is where the REAL respect lies, not some two bit thing that wouldn't know great music if it punched them in the face.

I love his voice. I can't believe he's died. So sad, what a talent!! His music touched my soul. His voice stirred up something in me. In his younger days he was so cute. He is missed.

Oh God, how fabulous were they. Jeez. One of my biggest regrets is not seeing them live.

Thank so much putting this. When I first heard ELP, brain salad surgery vinal, couldn't believe the music was played only by 3 persons, With such a intensity and technique they play, I thought they are more like studio recording based band. Knowing that they did so many gigs with the same intensity or even more than recording, it is just so amazing just to think what a enery and talent they offered, in EACH TIME!!.

Makes it hard to hear this interview talking about , "We could have gone on to do so much more." says Greg. Almost makes ya cry. Being a Fan from the 1st album, 1970, often makes me wish to seeing them more often. Think my total was 6 times. Being a young teenageer on the East Coast of America, a paper route could only take you so far, having to be there to complete the work daily. Thank you TONY ORTIZ...

About as good as I will get, still holding down the Paper route j/k..... Rock on my Brothers and Sisters, I learned while LOVING ELP. to my credits have written better than 450 copyrighted/recorded songs and some odd number of complete albums, all because of ELP, Greg Lake especially. I learned thru Greg, to write lyrics. 1 day, you may all learn what they were, till then, keeping enjoying music from 1999 - 2016.... CHEERS - Woody \\\mm/// \\\mm///

Они по праву были, есть и будут всегда на слуху у поклонников - ведь музыка вечна а они в ней всегда живы!!! Дамы и господа - ЕМЕРСОН,ЛЭЙК и ПАЛМЕР!!!!

Part of my life and evolution ever since I discovered them in the early 70's, the first album I bought was "Pictures at an Exhibition" and I have loved them ever since. More than the sum of their parts, the terms "Genius" and "Gifted" are mere words that fail to describe these Giants. And yet, anyone who has met them and spent any time with them - as I did one day at the old cinema in Fulham - found them to be approachable, genuine, sensitive and more. Rest in Peace Keith and Greg, my heartfelt thanks and respect go out to ELP - The show that never ends.

It was great fun to hear the well-worn anecdotes translated to truth by the band and staff personally. I grew up in the 60s, turning 15 in 1970 so ELP were a vivid and powerful influence on me and my music, shaping my own direction, how I composed, and even how I lived. A bit later, I had the great good fortune of meeting and working with so many of my childhood heroes. Sadly, ELP was not to be part of that. Working in music, I listen to very little of it except that which I am making at the moment. ELP is a notable exception. Their recordings remain fresh today.

Life is too short, but one of the highlights of my life has been the hundreds of hours I listened to ELP both live and using my 8track, cassette, then reel to real and now digitally. Thank you Tony for sharing this.

This is an awesome documentary (ELP is one of my 2 favourite bands - the other is Pink Floyd) and although I've seen many documentaries on these prog-rock pros, this one had loads of information in it that I had never heard before. I am 53 years old, so was too young to see ELP in the 1970's. But here in Toronto (where I live) I saw them in 1992, 1993, 1996 and 1998. I also saw ELPowell in 1986, and 3 in 1988. Emerson has got to be the GREATEST keyboardist that ever lived and Greg Lake's voice (and bass-playing) are unequaled. Palmer is an amazing drummer, and love watching his solos at live concerts. My older cousin was quite lucky - he saw ELP in Toronto (1973), Buffalo (1974)and Montreal (1977). I'd love to see more documentaries on this phenomenal band - thanks for posting.

Thanks for this Tony, they deserve a good historical documentary. A fan since 1974.

Ahead of their time even today when music has become a lost art.

Love their music. RIP Keith and Greg

Love you Toney, Keith and Greg !

Thank You so much for Sharing! Three Guys that changed the music biz. from their first LP,.. I could tell, they would be the three piece band of legend. Carls Jazz and classical style, would set them apart from the pack, Keiths compositions, and Greg's Lyrics transformed their music into "Pure Magic"..I am so Grateful, that i got tickets to see 3 shows here, (Trilogy, B.S.S.& Works)...B. S. S. was the best concert i ever attended, they knocked it out of the ballpark.

Love you love you love you my favorite rock and roll band f*** the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame you guys top them all. Brain Salad Surgery forever

"because it's been a fabulous life" -Greg Lake :(

They had to cancel a concert in Roanoke, Va. in '73 because the stage could not support the drums and I had tickets for that concert.

Ha. Blame the drummer. ;) Sorry you missed the concert.

Learning of Greg Lake writing Lucky Man, at the age of 12 is mind blowing! He had such a special voice.

Once again Tony you knocked it out of the ballpark! Excellent video. I know how hard it was for you to complete this, in many ways. Thank you for your gift.

Кит и Грег покойтесь с миром , мы фаны вас помним и нам вас не хватает. Карл Вам здоровья и долгих лет. Keith and Greg rest in peace, we fans remember you and we miss you. Karl to you health and many years.

what impressed me the most about ELP was the enormous amount of sound it generated, only 3 did what groups of double or triple musicians, or for their versions of classic works did not require production as in the cases of Mussorgski or Copland . and they listened like an orchestra

THE music of my life. It has been a privilage to have lived in a time when it was possible to see them. We will never see thier like again. Thankyou Boys. XXX

Saw them and Yes on the same bill two nights in a row, 140 miles apart (Penn State the first night; Philly the second). First-night ELP opened for Yes; the second Yes opened for ELP. Those were the days, my friend.

I was privileged enough to see them at Nassau Coliseum in 73 and then at Universal Studios, Hollywood in 1998. Both time periods were amazing ... too bad that by Hollywood Kieth had developed his turkey claw right hand from surgery/injury and was forced to slow down. I love them to the end of time, just giving my opinion ... they are the best! RIP Kieth, Greg and I hope to see Carl soon!

In the late '70s I worked for the NHS when Elvis died. One of the women who worked there was so upset she had to take a couple of days off. I almost didn't believe it when Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed and I had the same sense of disbelief when Keith and Greg left us. Most of us will leave nothing, outside our families, to say we were ever here. But those guys will.

I saw them in Nashville in 1977 with the orchestra..still one of the top 5 gigs of my life!

i was attracted to the synthesizer and classical sound at first but palmers drumming and you cant say enough about Greg Lakes voice and guitar, Aqua Tarkus is unbelievable. i was lucky enough to see them twice in Memphis

Definitely the best live performances on this planet the best musicians thank you

ELP the G.O.A.T. years later still relevant! Never to be replaced. Built a level for other bands to match. The good news many have.

The memory of ELP at the Empire Pool Wembley in 1974 is still with me today and will be until the end of my days.

50 million records in 5 years.. ..with THAT kind of music!

This is really nice to see. Following them from a very young age ,seeing them live a few times ,of course....from a mile away,we could only admire from a far.Being this intimate kind of blows the perception in that ... they seem like quite ordinary blokes ,rather then gods.But the music...it was always about the music.

Oct, 2022...ELP is still important, and I catch Carl whenever possible!

So influential in my picking up the guitar as my main instrument. From the Beginning was the 1st song that was learned front to back. Usually one would use bits and pieces of a particular artist and use as inspiration for original compositions. But couldn't do that with From the Beginning. It's so good as a whole. So could only do as a complete cover. Just a wonderful composition. Love ELP. owe them much👍😎

This was SO interesting! I was spellbound the whole time. That kind of talent and artistry is a mystery to me. What it must have been like to actually see them in concert. THE greatest band ever!🥰

Cried when Keith died. I was in my late 50's. My wife asked me what was wrong. Was hard to describe. Just someone whose talent I GREATLY admired, music I loved, music that actually allowed me to concentrate (while listening and studying in college as strange as that sounds) and appreciate the complexity . I have no musical background nor ability. I have the utmost respect and endless thanks to Mari K for letting us in via Facebook on what Keith was like from a personal standpoint. I recall I had VIP tix for an ELP concert in Atlantic City in 1997. Drove 12 hours one way. No big deal. I was a few feet from each of the band mates after the show and did not know what to say. I said nothing. But that's ok. Miss Greg and Keith..... Appreciate all of the covers people do especially Rachel Flowers, Noddy's Puncture and the Tribute concert of course.

That was beautiful to read. Thankyou man.

Saw them in 77" I was 15 and they blew my mind.."

I attended all three of the Madison Square Garden "Works" concerts. During one of them, I snuck down from my nosebleed seat to the front of the stage, and took pictures from in front of one of their two-story amps. I've had ringing in my ears ever since.

How much miss them

Great artists and legends in their own right.

I attended the first concert in the USA at Thiel College. At the chorus of Knife Edge the power went out due to a thunderstorm. Total shock and silence lasted about 3 seconds then the place erupted and zippos fired. I damn near lost it because of my altered state. What a night.

I had the extreme blessing of seeing the Works show in Detroit with full orchestra. I had my binoculars practically glued to my eyes. It was absolutely mesmerizing.

ELP is one of my Top Five bands ever. I bought every album from ELP to "Brain Salad Surgery" at the moment they published each one of them. Absolutety love "Tarkus" and "Karn Evil 9". Have attended an ELP recital was one of the great experiences in my life. Thanks for uploading this.

I'm now 61 years old. One of my all time favorite bands ever ELP this video made me happy & sad too. I was about 14 or 15 1971 or 72 and was at one of my friends house smoking some weed and he put on ELP had to have been Tarkus WOW I wanted to be Keith Emerson after that. My first job I saved all my money and bought my first keyboard a casio it was very small but I loved that casio. ELP turned me into a music lover I liked rock music but after hearing Keith play just lit a fire in me. In my early 20's I was lucky enough to managed a rock band for a few years the band didn't go anywhere we were just kids and most guys in the 80's just wanted to drink and get girls.( Sorry for me going on). I saw them the last time they played in LA I wished I would have seen them every day they played. Just a side note one of the guys I worked with at the time went on tour with Keith in the 70's said he was a real nice to play with and told me some funny stories about the tour. RIP Thank you Tony Ortiz for this video. DJ
