| July 09, 2014, 01:25:52 AM Cool picture and yes similar to Tarkus which I bought back then but never could get into. However two earlier ELP songs I still listen to are the cool Lucky Man and the even much more cooler From The Beginning. Aaah why did Greg Lake have to leave King Crimson. I still listen to "Islands" and also now since my nephew turned me on to it, the semi-more recent "Discipline". King Crimson  |

| July 08, 2014, 02:00:07 PM Thanks for the comments, guys, and apologies! The ELP comment was a little flippant and a flimsy reference to Tarkus. It was certainly not my intention to upset any Prog-rock sensibilities! I used to have "Pictures at an exhibition" and "Brain salad surgery", but that would have been some 35 years ago! Perhaps I need to revisit. I have seen the footage of Emerson at Filmore, a great showman, but I fail to see how destroying a perfectly good Hammond relates to the act of music! =D Great to see that the mighty beast of King Crimson is to return to active service in Autumn!! |

| July 08, 2014, 02:22:57 AM Keith Emerson is a keyboard legend, and ELP were somewhat revolutionary...I saw them a few times back in the day...but my best Keith Emerson moment was at Filmore East with the Nice, when he played "I Want to Live in America" on a hammond organ, using large daggers in his hands Like thew image very much...similar to Architecture designed by Complex Geometry |

| July 08, 2014, 12:02:01 AM When you say you "Never really got ELP" do you mean owned any or understood them? They are one of the precious few rock bands I can stand to listen to (maybe 6 or 8 rock artists at the most can be on for more than a minute without grating on my nerves). I love them for their electric versions of Classical Music! Look for an album called "In Concert" - it put them broke because they toured with the entire London Philharmonic Orchestra and played Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition, The theme from the TV show Peter Gunn, and a lot more. Well worth investigating. Nice image, by the way - and it is a bit reminiscent of Tarkus! |
