Emerson Lake and Palmer | Karn Evil 1st impression | Reaction With My Mom

Everyone refers to Neil Peart as the greatest but for pure endurance and amazing creativity ive always said it was Carl Palmer

I got to see EMERSON , LAKE , & PALMER , twice . So thankful for that , as Greg Lake and Keith Emerson have passed away . One of the Best Concerts I've ever seen !!!

Let me tell you ladies something, you've cheated yourselves. As someone who's been a big Emerson, Lake, and Palmer fan for over 50 years, there is so much more to this song. I bought "Brain Salad Surgery" in 1973 and "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends...." in 1974. The whole song goes just shy of 30 minutes on the studio album and over 35 minutes live. Having listened to both versions probably 100's of times over the years, it's an experience that shouldn't be missed.

Possibly the greatest recorded live drum solo of all time...

Had the privilege of seeing them in concert for their Brain Salad Surgery tour. Now at 71, I still love listening to these awesome musicians.

Glad you enjoyed it! As a percussionist, I had to request this. 😃The looks on Kathy's face when they showed Keith was playing on opposite sides of himself and when Carl was ringing the bell and started spinning were great.

Karn Evil 1st impression Keith Emerson Keyboards ... He was listed #1 the greatest keyboard player of all time in year end polls for several years in many polls. However... Keyboard magazine was launched in 1975. They had a yearly poll and Keith was voted #1 every year until his death in 2016.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer were undoubtably one of the most ambitious and innovative of the British progressive rock bands. They released groundbreaking studio and live albums where they pushed musical boundaries to their limits. Although many people refer to ELP as prog rock band, they’re much more than that. Their music is eclectic. They draw inspiration from a variety of sources including folk rock, jazz, rock and classical music. From 1970 to 1974 it seemed that ELP could do no wrong. They were one of the most successful bands on both sides of the Atlantic, becoming festival favourites and stadium fillers. ELP were true titans of progressive rock and left a lasting impact on the music scene of their era. A visionary band, their music was not only innovative and inventive but also highly influential. The albums "Emerson, Lake and Palmer," "'Pictures at an Exhibition," "Tarkus," "Trilogy," "'Brain Salad, Surgery," and 1974's "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends...." are timeless, epic and ambitious, featuring a group at the peak of their creative powers. - edited from DEREKSMUSICBLOG

I never saw ELP in concert but I did see Carl Palmer playing with the group Asia. One of the few drummers that plays conventional style (One hand overarm, other hand underarm like military drummers). Sadly the only surviving member of the band here.

Really glad you reacted to this!! ELP and Yes was what we were listening to when we were 14 years old. I was fortunate to see them several times back in the day, and met them twice at meet and greets. They were very gracious!! And your circus reference is correct! Karn Evil is a reference to "carnival". The entire recording of Karn Evil 9 is over 20 minutes long with three separate impressions.

I saw them five times in the seventies...amazing trio. Sadly, only Carl Palmer remains.

Carl Palmer is one of the greatest drummers, ever!

Magnificent masterpiece, difficult to digest at first glance for those who are not used to this level of complexity. This live version incorporates an excellent extended solo by Palmer, where he shows that in addition to being able to play very finely in the jazz style, he could also be a real beast on the drums.

Karn Evil 1st impression ..... Does...The Greatest Show on Turf.... sound familiar? The Rams used this song for their theme in the early 2000's. The song was played at the beginning of the broadcast of their games. This is actually Part 2 of the 1st impression. It starts at the end of side 1 on the album. The Carnival section begins during the last 3 minutes of part one. Then you flip the album over and you get part 2 which starts with welcome back my friends.

Only Part 2... I thought they were going to do the whole (radio unfriendly) first impression. There's only a part 1 and part 2 because They had to split it across sides of the LP.

Great Band and Great video !! This band had so much talent !! I never get tired of hearing EL&P !! Good Reaction Ladies !!

prog supergoup from the early seventies. This was part of much longer piece that was on the Brain Salad Surgery album.

One of the best live acts of the 70’s.

The Drummer Carl Palmer) just turned 74 and is still touring Amazing!!!!!! Montreux Jazz Festival 1997 Live!!! Medley Part 2 too see a mind blowing keyboard sole 🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥 remember the Name Keith Emerson ❤️✌🏼

Carl Palmers drum set was a specially commissioned monster made of stainless steel and with the rotating platform weighted 2 and a half tons ! When they were touring many venues had to have their stages reinforced
