Emerson, Lake & Palmer 4-4-92 late night TV interview

Greg Lake talks about filling in with Asia, Keith Emerson discusses being strapped to a spinning keyboard, and Carl Palmer keeps the beat with some tour tales in this late night TV interview broadcast 4-4-92. The BetaGems channel also has "Emerson Lake & Palmer 7-10-77 Hartford CT SAMPLE," "Keith Emerson 9-18-86 late night TV performance" and "Emerson Lake & Palmer 9-20-96 San Diego UNRELEASED."
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on KZbin or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.
In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.

I miss you Greg and Keith. What a loss. It never stops hurting.

[@harmonicres]

Musicians like this will never come around again nor will the radio care to challenge the listener base like radio of yore. Talent like this was and is pioneering.....The holy trinity of progressive rock!

[@DavidAlejandroYT]

It’s been a dream of mine to practice the prog rock style, would love a revival.

[@damon6852]

Miss you Greg and Keith!!!

I'm an M.E. so I'm not prone to philosophical outbursts but I find it incredible that in the infinite fabric of space and time, that I was in the same pinpoint of space and instant in time as these three, who stand upon the Pantheon of what we know as music.

A Time And A Place

[@caesarsmith4711]

Greg's vocals the best.

[@hubbsllc]

I came to finally appreciate years later what a lightning bolt of sheer magic that recording of "Fanfare" is. Keith is *all over* that Yamaha GX-1 and it sounds just magnificent; you can't really get there with any other instrument. And it's just them playing live in a rehearsal hall - one microphone.

[@saoirseblue5353]

Amazing group. Very talented and love the mix of classical music with prog rock.❤

[@rossb.4773]

ELP...THE TIGHTEST ENSEMBLE. ..

[@joaoluisbufaical994]

EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnschaefer2238]

They were so good! If a R&R fan had to name the 10 best guitarists, 10 best keyboardists and the 10 best drummers each of these talented men would find themselves in each top 10!

[@Digmen1]

Sorry, but Greg Lake is a singer and a bass player

[@rockista4195]

Greg Lake talks about the tremendous motivation they had when doing Black Moon. Unfortunately it had evaporated when they did in In the Hot Seat, what a pity.

[@mikewest1542]

Black Moon was a good but not a great album. In the Hot Seat was trash !

[@safeandsound2653]

Bob Coburn. RIP 🪦 What a great DJ and interviewer 95.5 KLOS Fm Rocks Southern California..

[@joemignosa9921]

A band like this will never come around

[@dr.roberts4508]

Rember taping this thank you for the post.

[@jennifersman7990]

Love Carl’s story of his first arrival in the USA

[@edljnehan2811]

By the way that was drummer Mitch Mitchell bat came up with the help moniker. Mitchell had actually audition far the Carl Palmer spot but as we all know Greg and Keith picked Carl😊

[@robertnobody]

This is from "ABC In Concert", the title..."late night TV interview" does not tell you much about the video. ELP was newly reunited and they were promoting their new album, "Black Moon".

[@betagemslostmedia607]

Thanks! We find it's best to leave descriptions vague, to be clarified in comments, in order to keep clips from getting challenged or removed. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@joaoluisbufaical994]

ELP forever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@flaviopitanga65]

Love ELP

[@mariomaiosarti9726]

👏👏👏 Mario from Mar del Plata .

[@ronboehler9570]

Carl palmer in my opinion is the best drummer ever,love Bonham but palmer is the best,and to not be named in the top 10 bologna 9:35

[@edljnehan2811]

I'll tell you what I believe the reason for that is. The great Carl Palmer one all on the polls in the 1970s cream circus Playboy Etc. Buy 1978 1979 for all practical purposes Emerson Lake and Palmer were over. At least for us folks that grew up listening to them in the early seventies. These kids today weren't exposed to Carl Palmer at least like we were. So naturally their votes went to people like Neil Peart. Furthermore elps music was not as accessible as say a Led Zeppelin to the younger people of later days due to Progressive rocks taking a nosedive after the late 70s. I hope that explains it to you a little😢

[@danausten1046]

Totally agree, in the 70’s Carl was often considered and was voted the best drummer in the rock world!

[@goha9218]

everyone there isnt alive except palmer wow

[@damnyankeefl]

WPRI in Providence!

[@desmondkowalski6863]

Does someone knows where I can watch the show from 2:28?

[@MassimilianoCavalera]

[@darrenedwards8433]

It comes from this "Manticore Special". The whole program is worth watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYLIg6t5a7xjb7c

[@edljnehan2811]

There is actually a video out of nothing but ELP segment of California Jam which is mostly what's on this particular video we are watching.
