ELP's Pirates at Daryl's House on 052523

[@johndangelo4647]

Amazing live off the floor performance! Killer accuracy for such a complicated composition and wonderful Greg Lake sounding singing!

[@brianmoore759]

ELP will forever live in our hearts and minds but I give these guys the highest credit ...they did an impeccable job interpreting this. Sign me up as a fan!

[@clivethereddevil3178]

I love the sound of a five string bass. Coincedentally I was talking about them at work yesterday and now his has appeared on my feed. Excellent.

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

That's probably the best cover of any song I've ever heard. I'm blown away.

[@hanovergreen4091]

"If you've the stomach for a broadside.." Loved this album since it came out. Saw in 1976.

[@clydehoops6069]

1977

[@topcat43truffles15]

Always a pleasure to hear the music of ELP kept alive! Been finding more people posting their work of ELP on KZbin these days. The Brain Salad Surgery tour @ Madison Square Garden (Welcome Back album) was the greatest show I had ever seen. Only topped 38 years later by Roger Waters performing “the Wall” at Yankee Stadium (17th row on the field) Great job guys! 👍🏻🍻❤️😎

[@michaelburke9187]

Can't wait to see you guys in a couple of weeks. Awesome!!

[@Kyle2k10]

This frontman SHOULD be hired by Carl Palmer to sing the old ELP songs. What an incredible voice, very similar to Lake's. And the whole band is to be congratulated too.

[@SwisstedChef2018]

I agree

[@rollerball1200]

Well Thank You so much ! 👍

[@stevebeach9030]

Incredible performance. You gents are amazing! That is a very complex piece of music and you nailed it. Thank you!

[@mrmiller74]

Fantastic! So glad the algorithm threw this up for me. Have always loved ELP and this is one of my all time favourites. Brilliant to see it covered so magnificently and, as others have said, sounds just like Greg Lake. Well done!

[@MegaCraptacular]

From Keith's Yamaha GX1 to a Behringer Deep Mind 6! 😂. I love it! I have the DM 12. Outstanding vocals!!!

[@robsonoliveira7385]

ELP ( cover ) very good. Here from Brazil.

[@peterkropp5603]

Fantastic musicianship , vocals are paramount …Congratulations !!

[@kevincrooks639]

Couldn't ask for a better cover of such a difficult piece of music. I saw this performed live, lo so many years ago and was thrilled to find this.

[@paulgates8062]

Absolutely fantastic stuff you’ve got to come to England

[@lesliemarincsak3992]

Super job on a brilliant piece of music!!! This originally started out as the music score for a movie based on the Jack Higgins novel Storm Warning. But when the project fell apart it was reworked into Pirates for the band.

[@mjstcdnce5]

Actually, when they started working on it, they were going to make it another sci-fi, post-apocalyptic piece until Regina Lake spoke up and said that a pirate themed song would go over much better. That’s from the source. Thanks for listening.

[@AllenLind]

Pirates is ELPs masterpeice! So awesome you all performed it!!

[@BeatlesBowieKrimson]

Very nice. My brother (RIP) and I used to jam on this. He played keys. I played drums.

[@johndevos9003]

Wow that is awesome, sounds like Greg.

[@russisaac813]

This is simply wonderfull. The Bass players singing voice is the cream on the coffee......Excelent!

[@normc8169]

Bravo messieurs un chef-d'oeuvre parfaitement exécuté. Respect

[@jamesford9648]

This is an amazing performance! Thank you

[@candlewoodvalleyscenicrail2062]

What a nice surprise to find this. We attended this show - it was great fun! I've been an ELP fan since the early 70's and saw them live many times. These guys do a great job of representing them. It was our first time at Daryl's House. Food was good and the show great. We'll be back!

[@kevmac1230]

You saw this show? Ooh what a lucky man!

[@33productions84]

Thanks for putting on wonderful music!

[@curly437]

Wow, excellent. Great sounds you got on your boards. The vocals are much better than a past video. I am amazed that the recording of the drums sounds like the album. Much thanks for keeping the music alive.

[@dannylgriffin]

Nice Alembic bass guitar! Great performance by all. Bass player's voice is great. Keyboard player was fantastic as well.

[@cooltours]

Completely nailed one of my most listened songs! A pure joy to listen! Earcandy! Live!

[@marcosoccoli8623]

Amazing you guys nailed it bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@davidbraun4269]

Awesome, I saw ELP play this live

[@markp6062]

GREAT job, gents! That's a great likeness to Greg's voice! Congrats and thanks!

[@frankrogowski5608]

Marvellous musicians, and a great compliment to ELP !

[@lorcazola]

Nailed Greg Lake's voice. WOW !

[@dannylgriffin]

I agree!

[@wmitrader]

Ron sounds so much like Greg Lake. I was amazed how close his voice matches Lake.

[@frankalfar]

Wow an excellent cover!!!!!

[@ataylor4441]

Phenomenal! Super talented!!!!!

[@PhilRounds]

Spot on! I saw ELP play this live and this is every bit as good!

[@michaeljanosik5214]

Nice job by this band! I’ve been a big ELP since my first concert ever in 1977. Tough to replicate that sound but wow, what a great tribute! Thanks

[@williamsoltes1658]

How is this even possible? Even when ELP recorded this, they used an entire Orchestra, and all three of these guys sound almost exactly like the original studio recording. ELP wrote some of the most complex, difficult to play music, not only in rock, but in any genre, and these guys not only pulled it off, they excelled at it. Think of the hours and hours of work that must have went into this. I am blown away. Wow. Much respect. Bravo.

[@jonrichardson8461]

ELP also played it live. See videos of their 1990s reunion performances- Royal Albert Hall I think.

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Guys you are great, it is hard to even come close to Greg's voice but you did, fantastic, thank you for this tribute for one of the greatest Bands EVER

[@MrDaveBurl]

From a forever fan of ELP, you guys serve them well! 👏

[@robpinter5431]

Wonderful, great music played by musicians....one of ELP's great works.....from Works Vol 1

[@Surfinmars]

I hope the audience there appreciate what they witnessed. Thank you

[@mjstcdnce5]

....and will again on Sunday April 21! LOL! Shameless self-promotion! Thanks, @Surfinmars!

[@dannylgriffin]

I'm sure they do to even be invited to this.

[@birchsongsltd.6831]

Well done lads. DAMN WELL DONE.

[@birchsongsltd.6831]

I saw ELP in Dayton Ohio just before the WORKS tour. I was just 15 at the time and it was a 'general admission' show. I stood six foot at 15 but when the few doors opened and everyone pushed forward to get in I was literally lifted off of my feet and moved forward. I remember panicking a bit. A time later THE WHO would play Cincinnati and people died. General admission tickets to rock concerts (more or less) stopped after that. The show blew my f*cking mind! I've been a slave to prog-rock ever since. I'm 63 today and still play ELP at a volume neither my neighbors or my wife can fully understand or appreciate. 😛🤣

[@AngeloCammarata-x3q]

Hey guys, great performance. Was a big ELP fan growing up. And I still listen to them all the time.

[@TamaDrummer4263]

Brilliant!

[@BiscuitsStuckToTheWall]

Fantastic. 👍

[@DirkKrause]

Awesome, you nailed it.

[@donstevenson2660]

Good job on a hard piece. I still remember the 77 orchestra tour, and that was just another level.

[@odirrigolon]

Awesome guys!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🥇🎩💎

[@kevinkilduff2064]

Wow! Man, this is no easy piece to play and Manticore does a heck of a job with this ELP classic. Congrats, guys. Well done, indeed!

[@sandrab8795]

Absolutely AMAZING 👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘

[@leechild4655]

I guess the first song I heard was Lucky Man then like everyone else, became amazed at the creative and talented trio. It sounds like twelve guys on stage but, no just three guys doing all that. unfreaking real.

[@shawnburditt2052]

Awesome job covering this song.

[@AudioFileZ]

The musicianship speaks for itself. The vocals, so Carl true. put me right over the edge. These guys rock!

[@dannylgriffin]

You mean Greg, but we get it.

[@doctorpatient519]

so courteous of the poster to include the names of these excellent musicians

[@jazzmaan707]

Very nice rendition. Excellent.

[@torccchaser6712]

well done guyz !!!

[@RythymBeast]

Bloody brilliant, lads!

[@syn707]

Nice to see something a bit different at Daryl’s House. Been a fan of EPL since ‘Pictures..’

[@peter-ek3uh]

My first concert was ELP Works1 at MSG NYC....I WAS 13

[@ProckGnosis]

Damn! Great arrangement and performance...and solid vocals, which I didn't expect. Seriously great job! And look at that Behringer Deep Mind handle big chunks of the keyboard parts. Didn't expect that. Thanks much for the post

[@dannylgriffin]

I know, right? Great vocals are hard so I never expect that from covers. I was very pleasantly surprised! And you're right about Behringer. They've upped their game.

[@EAGLEDRIVER77]

Outstanding! Nice work.👍🏻

[@Studio-62]

Great vocal, close my eyes and its Lake.

[@ratamacueseven]

Hall/Oates Band, Amends !!!!!!!!!!!! Superb ELP Tribute !

[@jpirard]

HOLY SHIT!

[@RonnTice]

Excellent performance!

[@Miguel14Carmaikel]

Larga vida ELP

[@skygzr31416]

Wow, great job all around. Love it that the guy at the front table is wearing his ELP shirt 😂

[@moogman5]

Damn, you guys are amazing...Bravo!

[@Wolfie66]

Wow! This is awesome!

[@loveaodai100]

Awesome!

[@jeremybender401]

Hell yeah! I feel the spirit! (and Tarkus should know)

[@coachpete5756]

that was really well done, very difficult to play!

[@philluanastiemke6770]

Well done!

[@peternyc]

That was really excellent.

[@AngeloCammarata-x3q]

Double pistol grip alembic bass, five string, beautiful.

[@skipmatsey8352]

That 5 string Alembic Scorpion bass is too cool.

[@dannylgriffin]

You noticed it, too!

[@harryturnbull1884]

Gregory Lake brought back to life

[@MannyFernandez-j4c]

😎👍🏻🎶🎶🎶🎶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kevmac1230]

👍🏴‍☠️

[@williamgrubbs916]

That was really really good

[@bewalker25]

Is it possible to play this song without orchestra? Amazing!

[@mjstcdnce5]

Thanks, bewalker25! When i set out to learn this song, i had to choose from one of two presentations. The first was do do it the way Keith played it without the orchestra - with the sound of the Yamaha GX-1. I felt this had a sort-of "wimpy" sound however, and for as grandiose a song as Pirates, my thoughts were that the orchestral version was the way to go to give it the gravitas it required. That said, Keith was the Maestro and composer, so any way he chose to do it was correct for him. However, for myself, as a man paying homage to Maestro, full orchestra sound was my choice. I'm so glad you liked it. Cheers!

[@MickLafitte]

Bravo Zulu

[@peter-ek3uh]

Awesome

[@escommentss]

Great job!!

[@TheLastOilMan]

Even had Emmo’s old shirt ,hahaha

[@mjstcdnce5]

Good eye! Most folks miss that. Cheers!

[@mikebyrne3682]

fantastic

[@snairotearp]

Now I remember why I never listened to them before. What a scattered noise.

[@jonathonfuqua6730]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stevethetford4088]

Although I don't fashion myself to Keith Emerson, he is the reason I play synthesizers

[@jayjack2046]

Thanks for the Prague Darrell

[@paulk9230]

Cool. Where did you get the shirt?

[@steveambrose5580]

Kevin Ellman😯

[@warrenrayledbetter9957]

I wonder how much one of those gongs cost?

[@Esrom_music]

wow that voice. wtf

[@thepaulmacfarlane]

HOLY F

[@chrislapp9468]

the same Alembic bass that Lake had?

[@mjstcdnce5]

@@chrislapp9468 Not the same. Custom built by Alembic in the same design as Greg’s, but to Ron’s specifications. Our April 2023 Enewsletter describes the journey. www.manticoreny.com/_files/ugd/3efbc8_97035bfdb8544644b124da51fb800f2b.pdf

[@georgeadams8230]

I'd pay to see them before Palmers mess of a show

[@aloissidler6980]

Was Paiste-Becken doch ausmachen können!

[@mjstcdnce5]

Thanks, but John doesn’t use Paistes. He uses a new cymbal company - Mehteran Cymbals, made in Turkey - engraved with his personal logo.

[@alangarrison-d5x]

Not quite nobody come close to ELP

[@robertliebowitz2039]

Don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but poorly performed, nowhere close to the original. Sloppy, wrong tempo. No doubt a complicated piece, with many time signature changes, but sometimes it is best to leave a song alone...like this one.
