EL&P TARKUS（1972.07.22 後楽園球場）

全体的にぼやけた感じになってるのは公式のＤＶＤでも
判りますが当時カミナリが鳴るような天候だった為、雨に濡れるのを防ぐ為カメラなど機材にビニールが被せられてて、その状態でコンサートがスタートした為そのまま撮影したためと思われます。

[@19erfoxtrot]

東京の夏の夜にタルカスとグレッグレイクの声が響きわたり、それを数万の聴衆が見守り、さらにテレビ中継までされていたような時代があったんですね。40年という月日をあらためて感じてしまいます。

[@7gfkkgcvbnj]

たった３人でこれだもんなぁ…すごすぎる

[@user-qx3kc1cx9x]

こんな素晴らしいものが放送されるだなんて、いい時代だったんですね～ TARKUSの間にCMを入れるような無粋なこともなく、パートごとにタイトルを表示するなど、この時代としては驚愕レベルのリテラシーの高さですよね 番組制作側に理解と愛があるのが伝わります

[@nothingbutblues38]

これは生放送でした。定刻開始です。雨が降っていて始まる前にグレッグが"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" と歌ったのを覚えています。

[@onlyAPBTs]

The energy in this performance is incredible; I can't believe how fast they're playing. Greg looks like a child! This is definitely a favorite!!!

[@MothershipOracle]

greg was just 25 in 72".

[@alexchristopher221]

Tarkus remains my favorite ELP track since its debut.

[@masatakeda]

Cameras were covered because of raining, forgive considering this was held in the biggest number-seated place for concert at the time in Tokyo - baseball stadium, of course not roofed. Such things = tens of thousand audiences for premium musician(oversea players) had never happened before they opened a huge white dome stadium in an adjacent lot in 1986. Even the Beatles performed in a smaller place. This concert was challenging.

[@yeswing10]

Love the Aura! Incredible sound and visuals for the time!

[@cloviskoba]

Thank you for explanation! No matter what were the challenges, this masterpiece can be remembered for good... Lake on electric guitar solo, I think there's no other capture on that! Congrats to all recording team!

[@wentkat]

Back in the day, I never really thought about how much energy it took to play this song (written mostly in 10/8) for more than 20 minutes. They must have been exhausted by the end of it. True musicians and showman.

That bassline in the beginning is one of the most insane things I've ever seen, I've tried for almost a year to play it, and I've never seen a cover that really conquered it either

[@jotapecu]

Lake was a freak bassist. Yes he was.

[@hubbsllc]

Yeah, when I learned it I was trying to play those fourth intervals *across* the strings but it's super sloppy that way and isn't how Lake did it.

[@joonas1400]

@@hubbsllc have you figured out what Greg's actually playing there? i've been looking up so many clips trying to find a better way to play this bit but I can never quite make out what he's doing

[@hubbsllc]

@@joonas1400 Start out on A string, 8th fret, then on that same fret hit D string, then G string, then back to D string again. Quickly jump up to 13th fret, go across the strings G D A, them jump quickly down to 9th fret and starting with your pinky hit the G, D, and A strings. You need to start there with your pinky because you need your first finger free to start back at the beginning.

[@michelewr4714]

I heard Lucky Man as a kid and immediately started singing and harmonizing everything I heard. I didn't follow them much beyond Trilogy but Greg Lake's voice has always been in my head. When I heard about his passing in December I started seeking out everything ELP. I was a bit too young to ever see them live and now that I'm not young I never will. This performance, out if tune or otherwise is amazing. There's nothing like seeing a show in the rain when your heroes don't let you down and play right through it. We're lucky to have it, and Greg Lake would probably be seriously pissed that he's out if tune. Anyway, my 2 cents. I'll go get a life now.

[@tarotsuzuki1]

このコンサート行きました。中２の時、後楽園球場へ一人で。その後、チケット券を失くしちゃったけど。「Trilogy」までのアルバム４枚、なんとかお年玉で買って聴いてたな。このコンサート、前座はギタリスト、ポール・コゾフが離脱中のFreeでした。後楽園球場でのメンバーは、ポール・ロジャーズ：Guitar、サイモン・カーク：Drums、山内テツ：Bass、ラビット：Keyboards、でした。雷雨に悩まされた一夜で、あのでっかいMoogシンセサイザーが透明のビニールシートで覆われてて。タルカス、好きだったなぁ。確かシングル版も持ってた。グレッグ・レイクはいい声で歌いますよね。鬼のようなカール・パーマーとキース・エマソンの間に凛として立って歌ってた。素晴らしい思い出です。

[@paulsimmons5726]

Great video, the beginning was insane for the bass lines. I'll never understand why Greg Lake's name doesn't surface more as an influencer for so many bass players. My guess is his vocals and acoustic guitar overshadowed his bass work in many people's minds. Yeah, these guys were jaw dropping in concert, no matter what material they were touring with that year. (The caveat to this is admitting that something was horribly out of tune with Greg's LP, ouch! Amazingly, Greg's vocals are incredible though!) 50 years later and no band has encroached on their turf. RIP Keith and Greg! Godspeed to Carl!

Thanks for uploading. Just now reading Greg Lake's autobiography, he mentioned this concert in it. He and Emerson drove away to the hotel, because of riots and Palmer was still fucking the drums so they could hear him several miles away welcoming them to join him on stage. Not sure, maybe it was in the other concert on the same Japan tour, but looks like this one.

Incredibly I (we) were able to see them play live at the Club Casino Ballroom on Hampton Beach, NH many years ago. I heard a last-minute, last-moment ad for it on the radio and we made a bee-line for the coast. It was an amazing performance. Keith had his full-tilt modular Moog setup. They did the first side of Tarkus completely through...it was an amazing performance in a very good sound environment that I'll never forget. Later on they did CeLaVie and Keith came out wearing a striped Italian-style polo shirt (with beret) and playing accordion to accompany Greg's vocals...it was priceless...times I'll never forget. That was the only time that I saw ELP...so much worth that quick run to Hampton Beach.

Tarkus is undoubtedly Keith's finest hour. Must say though, I think more recent versions of this are better - Greg's voice matured as he got older and sounds much more substantial and mellow, which I think suits this track. Good music matures well anyway though, God only Knows what the kids of today will be listening to in forty years time.

[@hooley44]

Also, does anyone know what 'depas' means? Why it is shown regularly throughout is bit baffling.

[@coachhannah2403]

I think they worked the song for all it was worth by the time of WBMFTTSTNE. I was at the Long Beach show in 73, one of three used for that album, then saw them at Cal Jam. Seen them 3-4 times since. Fabulous shows, each and every one.
