[@timothybrouse6056]

This was a head of its time. After you listen to it for the fifth time, you will get it. Top 5 song for me.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Emerson,, Lake & Palmer "Still...You Turn Me On" & "Lucky Man" 🔥♥️🔥

[@threekidzmom04]

oh yes!! Lucky Man for sure

[@rigelmoon9030]

Greg Lake composed this when he was 15. Now, how cool was that. RIP Greg and Keith.

[@kratino]

I don't think so. . . He wrote Lucky Man at 12, though.

[@danacasey8543]

Emerson, Lake and Palmer were in the same innovative genre, at the time, as Yes and Pink Floyd. Awesome group!

[@williampearson9679]

And the Moody Blues

[@EJSmith-dk3yg]

And Supertramp !

[@englishlady978]

One of my all time favorite songs.Enjoy it.

[@spawn4582]

The second part, in the middle of the song, when the guitars started playing, reminded me of the sound of the American group The Shadows, very reminiscent of a guitar 🎸melody from Westerns, overall a good song, I advise everyone to listen with headphones 🎧 so as not to miss the nuances of the song.

[@barriehull7076]

The Shadows (originally known as the Drifters between 1958 and 1959) were an English instrumental rock group, who dominated the British popular music charts in the pre-Beatles era from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. They served as the backing band for Cliff Richard from 1958 to 1968, and have joined him for several reunion tours.

[@dumdumbush]

The expression on Nick's face as he's listening to this is priceless!

[@tracycampbell3060]

Lucky Man is in my top 5 of all time favorite songs, I hope you guys can cover it! ❤

[@christisheeks6334]

This is one of those songs where you have to wave your arms up and say, "We're not worthy!"

[@andrewpetik2034]

I get goosebumps throughout this song.... at different times in the song for different reasons... The guitar work at the beginning with his voice......just ethereal! I hope you will listen to it often.....however, I was hooked on this song.....from the beginning 🙄😅😊✌️👍💪

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

Yep…..chills

[@Jude_196]

SAME, HERE!!! ETHEREAL is the perfect word - it's like a MUSICAL LANDSCAPE to me....

[@Topnikko]

I was a kid when this song was released and it hit me hard then and still hits me hard today. One of my all-time favorites.

[@meljones5108]

These are very talented musicians. Keith Emerson probably the best keyboard player of his generation.

[@LyndaHill]

They were enormous and enormously talented. I loved them.

[@daveevenson3594]

Welcome to the 70’s and synthesizer

[@robinlowe2329]

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends

[@ilionreactor1079]

Keith Emerson was one of Bob Moog's test pilots.

[@tracycampbell3060]

Was he?

[@davexvs]

you might even call him his ACE

[@ilionreactor1079]

@@tracycampbell3060 Along with Walter/Wendy Carlos, and to an extent Rick Wakeman.

[@bobthebear1246]

Absolutely 💯😊

[@angelamarino8741]

Greg Lake was a classical guitarist! So that was a 16 string acoustic guitar.

[@kratino]

12 string.

[@artromano2419]

Classically trained artists................. great tune!

[@kratino]

None of them was classically trained, actually. But I understand why people think that.

[@Chrisrw2023]

My favorite progressive acoustic guitar song. Then you also have the one of a kind keyword solo. Greg Lakes vocals amazing. And the lyrics, so good.

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

Great song !!!

[@shoker8696]

I know three groups that stand for three letters, these are ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), ELP (Emerson, Lake, Palmer) and BTO (Buchman, Turner, Overdrive), it is the reaction to BTO that I would like to see from you guys, songs, 1) ain't seen nothing yet, 2) looking out for number one, 3) blue collar. You'll like it.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

I believe you mean "Bachman"...Also GFR = Grand Funk Railroad..CDB = Charlie Daniels Band...MTB = Marshall Tucker Band...TDM = The Dead Milkmen...SMB = Steve Miller Band..GVF = Greata Van Fleet...TDK = The Dead Kennedys...Etc..Etc..Etc. "Bonus Group & Song Of The Day",, TWS = The Wet Spots "Do You Take It In The A **? (Official Music Video An ABSOLUTE MUST!!) 🔥♥️🔥

[@mono_was-here]

Also BOC. Blue Oyster Cult

[@timshea5721]

The band YES !

[@HollyVee]

LOVE this song! This, plus Still You Turn Me On and C’est La Vie by ELP were wonderful blasted on the radio in my new car with a great sound system. The bass almost blew out my speakers! 😂 My son got the biggest kick out of it. I miss those days.

[@crimsonwizard2560]

Brilliant guys. They are my favourite band.

[@dgator3599]

I love this song!!

[@davidmaldonado1111]

I remember hearing this song back when it was new and on the radio. I never knew who sang it or anything 'bout ELP. Then I didn't hear it for yeeeaaars. Flash forward to a road trip up to Oregon with my best friend and a cousin. We pull over to a scenic spot and my friend Mike (RIP) sitting in the back with all the car doors open starts playing his acoustic guitar. He's playing this song and I go ,"what is that? I've heard this somewhere before." He's says it's Emerson,Lake and Palmer - From the Beginning. It was like re-discovering some long lost treasure or something. I love this song. Thanks guys for checking it out, thanks ELP and thanks Mike for bringing out a beautiful song from way back in my memory.

[@user-fc8lz1cg4x]

Sweet. ❤

[@jordimoore2167]

One of their most popular songs.

[@WilliamEdwards-ko8sc]

i saw them in concert with a full 70 piece orchestra for the Works 1 tour. Emerson was the best keyboard player and Palmer was the best drummer i have ever seen in concert.

[@user-fc8lz1cg4x]

One of my all time favorites. Beautiful. ❤😊

[@angelamarino8741]

ELP, was the first concert I ever went to. I love this song!

[@tracycampbell3060]

Do you remember what year that was?

[@cindiherriott3259]

SUCH a stellar song…I’ll have to watch you guys react. The sounds of my generation.

[@lindastafford9548]

Forgot how much I liked this, thanks for the reminder!

[@davidanderson6372]

So glad to hear some ELP! All three were musical virtuosos. "Lucky Man", "Tarkus", and "Karn Evil 9" are must listens to get the full impression of their music.

[@johnfinlay4963]

Fantastic song . 🤘🏻

[@bobduerwald9805]

Greg Lake had one of the most recognizable voices in 70's rock. With Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer as bandmates they became one of the first SuperGroups of the era. Now, let's see if you dare to react to TARKUS!

[@RickTBL]

Tarkus, live!

[@DH-kl5rx]

This is truly a beautiful song.

[@deanhaight7258]

This is one amazing song. I was introduced to this song very young by my uncle who lived nextdoor.

[@williamweiss6128]

ELP, great band.

[@johnnyallen5736]

This is a great song!!!

[@suemiller9458]

Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Sounds like a very prestigious law firm. I've heard this before and maybe one or two others from them. I remember liking 'Still You Turn Me On'. They strike me as being very artsy musicians.

[@Jude_196]

LOVE Still You Turn Me On!! GREAT TUNE!! VERY CREATIVE GROUP!!

[@AjaxCaper]

These guys are really great. Thanks. I'm so sorry Tyler wasn't here for this.

[@davidbooth7778]

What a beautiful love song. Married 40 yrs and she hasn't killed me yet!

[@jazzmaan707]

The first time I heard this song on late night radio back in 1976, I went out and bought ELP'S first 3 albums. They are a treasure in my 500 LP collection.

[@christopherhuot2826]

That's pure 🔥 🔥 FIRE guys

[@jwine4145]

You guys are going to love this! If you’re looking for a song that will remind you of Al Stewart, try Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Hypnotized’. It’s early Fleetwood with Bob Welch on lead vocals.

[@andrewpetik2034]

OOOOOOOH! GREAT song!

[@user-fc8lz1cg4x]

Love that song!!! ❤😊

[@liffick]

I've been on these guys to do this song for over a year! They would definitely love it.

[@imogene413]

[@dreamweaver8913]

Here's another trippy song for you guys, Yes, "Starship Trooper"

[@sylvialopez5928]

Emerson Lake and Parker they are one of the best bands from their time .

[@kratino]

Palmer. :)

[@michaelyount3176]

Sitting down and playing this on my acoustic just makes me happy every time. Guys - you gotta try "Trilogy" - the title cut off the album of the same name. It's a wild ride.

[@nelsonx5326]

Cool song. Textural.

[@827dusty]

I don't smoke anymore, but in my late teens and early 20s, when these guys were on top of the music world, me and my friends would get stoned and put this album on, and we wouldn't say a word to each other until the album was over. We would just sort of space out listening to this great music, and the story it was telling. The other song was "Lucky Man." Same thing. It just sort of put you in a trance. Great Band headed by Greg Lake. The 70s were a great era to grow up in, and the music was exceptional. Thanks guys

[@acooksla]

Absolutely -we were so lucky

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

This is really all Greg Lake, with a little Emerson synthesizer and Palmer percussion thrown in. Lake was a brilliant singer, composer, bassist, and guitarist. Also the creative force behind King Crimson, before ELP.

[@colleenmonfross4283]

Excellent example of Prog rock with incredible guitar and vocals. They were a significant band back in the day.

[@kentclark6420]

ELP was one of Britain's biggest goth/space/rock? bands from the 70s. They were a global phenonium in many circles. In one tour, they had a grand piano that Keith was strapped into, which ascended above the stage, Keith still playing, and then did three complete somersaults, both of them returning then to the stage. Keith was the greatest keyboardist in classic rock. And the sounds he got on that Moog were amazing! Greg had the silky voice and gentle touch on an acoustic guitar, fine bass player, electric guitar... And Carl Palmer was at the top of the drumming world. He's the only one left.

[@michaelschey1084]

omg not GOTH space, etc. They were progressive rock. NOT GOTH. SMH

[@Jude_196]

oooooooooooooo - ONE OF MY FAVS BY THIS BAND! You might also listen to Karn Evil 9! RIP, GREG & KEITH!! YOU are MISSED!! THANKS, GUYS!! HUGS!!

[@RayRay-ot5xd]

If you can find they’re live performance of “Knife’s Edge” from 1970 it will blow your mind how mega talented these guys are AND how young they were. Just an incredible 3 piece band!

[@barriehull7076]

Gregory Stuart Lake (10 November 1947 - 7 December 2016) was an English bassist, guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He gained prominence as a founding member of the progressive rock bands King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP). The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice, Greg Lake (vocals, bass, guitars, producer) of King Crimson, and Carl Palmer (drums, percussion) of Atomic Rooster.

[@raycewilliams3300]

I recall this track being played on the FM stations in the San Francisco Bay area. I went out and bought this vinyl album at Tower Records in San Jose, Ca. I played this track in my living room with headphones on, eyes closed and all the lights turned off. One could easily call this song as "trippy". I like to think of this track as sounding ethereal. Great reaction, guys. Take care...

[@Wordsmyth8]

Great, great song!

[@danielviney]

Pure genius in action!! 🔥

[@laurakali6522]

Gotta do some old Moody Blues.

[@budmangt2]

You guys started on one of their milder songs, now you might be ready to listen to their most complex songs that they are well known for, which will blow you away! give a listen to : Tarkus, fanfare for the Common Man, the Barbarian, Knife Edge, and Take a Pebble. just to name a few!

[@gospelpopsoulman]

"From the Beginning" is a song written by Greg Lake and performed by the progressive rock trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was released on their 1972 album Trilogy. It hit #39 in the United States and was their highest-charting single there. The song was written in the key of A minor. It is driven by an acoustic guitar line with layers of electric guitar (both rhythm and lead), electric bass guitar, and sung by Lake, with some backing on drums (played by Carl Palmer with congas, tympani mallets and without cymbals), and with a distinctive closing synthesizer solo from Keith Emerson, accompanied by overdubbed synthesizer sounds. This song was originally intended for King Crimson's debut album In the Court of the Crimson King, but band leader Robert Fripp didn't think it would fit into the album's context. Record World said that "Greg Lake gets a great sound out of his band on this acoustically jazzy number that highlights his voice and fine lyrics.". Keith Emerson - Moog synthesizer, Greg Lake - vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, Carl Palmer - drums, percussion

[@Anautistictherapist]

This song was really snapshot of the times, as the 60’s matured into the early 70’s and was more about expanding your mind rather than just getting loaded.

[@Walkerbtween]

Absolutely!

[@angelamarino8741]

Listen to Fanfare for the common man. They were a lot of sound for three members! Those guitar sounds are called Bends.

[@stevegauthier9838]

It is an introspective piece from ELP. Greg Lake the lead singer and guitarist here came from an even trippier and more out there band in King Crimson. But I always view this song as a man ruminating on something in the past. The keyboardist Keith Emerson brought a real classical music perspective to ELP's music. A Legendary Prog rock band. l

[@jimroddy6190]

Emerson, Lake and Palmer were an amazing group! "From the Beginning" is a good start. Let me suggest a few other songs--"Lucky Man" "Karn Evil No. 9, 1st Impression, Part 2" (more commonly known as Karn Evil No. 9), "Fanfare for the Common Man". Of those, I would especially like to see and hear your reaction to Karn Evil No. 9 from their album BRAIN SALAD SURGERY. Keep up the great work, Gentlemen!

[@gailjohnson5950]

Thanks guys for doing this one.. I have this album on vinyl. Bought it when it first came out and this has always been one of my favorite songs. Something different and such a smooth sound!! Way ahead of its time!

[@reddoxx4754]

First few notes sound a bit like the opening of "Roundabout" by Yes.

[@billwoods9302]

This song is a demo standard at high end audio shows. Impeccable production with recessed vocals and very distinct stereo separation. In terms of classic rock, it's mellow vibe and contribition to the early years of prog rock have made it a classic rock radio staple. I own this album on vinyl and revisit it at least twice a month.

[@paulsullivan1650]

This song is extremely beautiful. It reminds me of a "YES" song...

[@carlpeterkirkebo2036]

Never heard this song. Liked it.

[@cindyjennings5976]

This and Lucky Man have been 2 of my favorites since my high school days. I don't hear America, I hear where Yes got some of their inspiration a couple years later.

[@davidmckenzie420]

Now you're into my favorite band...AWESOME live.

[@Redbuzzcut]

ELP has a holiday song you may be familiar with "I Believe in Father Christmas". If you listen to that you may think, "oh yeah, I've heard that before". One of their other big hits was Lucky Man. This group was evolving just as the MOOG synthesizer keyboard was being developed/released. These guys were real pioneers in the early 70s and very talented writers and musicians. Give'm a listen - cheers and thanks agains for hearing this.

[@day2daylife1]

Lucky Man, Still.... You Turn Me On and C'est La Vie are 3 you need to hear.

[@Th3Kn0w1ngSt4r]

I'd add The Sage

[@dougbowers4415]

I saw them live in the 70s. Their playlist is varied. They do a rocked out version of Mussorgsky’s Pictures At An Exhibition, a synthed Jerusalem (British hymn) and the very strange Brain Salsd Surgery. Check them out.

[@loupi4bama]

I bought this LP because of this song but the whole album is great.

[@lindazee]

ELP are a heavy-duty supergroup whose albums are a giant sound of virtuosity, beyond comparable solo performances, mixed with some classic ballads. Next up, check out Karn Evil 9 or Tarkus. So many incredible pieces from which to select. Three guys who sounded like 6 masters. RIP Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. 😢

[@gregpusczek4473]

Brilliant Welcome to classic progressive' rock

[@bronwynbeistle8317]

Yes. Do more! More!

[@Ladyfirst22]

~ Oo, this one is a fave! Really looking forward hearing your reactions to it.

[@Andy-Capp]

Greg Lake is a wonderful guitarist. Try “Still You Turn Me On”. There’s a live version. Just Greg a 12 string guitar. Magical.

[@memorylane7068]

An awesome piece to play on acoustic guitar. Greg Lake would play and sing this at the same time, which is no small feat.

[@mariejustme]

❤️ I have no words, other than it makes me feel ageless, instead of on the back half of life. 🔥🤘🏼😎 Weird!? Wut? It’s a masterpiece.

[@4yules]

elp is all about the classical music and then taking it to another level..keith on the keyboards was a mad scientist back there

[@WilliamTheMovieFan]

One of my favorite songs. Karn Evil 9 might be more to your liking.

[@robinlowe2329]

Ultimate chill

[@billg763]

Listen to that song a few times and try to get it out of your head. ELP was a leader in progr. rock back in the day.

[@jerryredding6445]

This was the first song played on Q95 Indy at 4:20 by DJ Tom Robinson.

[@WilliamEdwards-ko8sc]

Lucky man was their most well known ( radio play) song. it was a song you would test a stereo with.

[@christiank6310]

Hi guys, this song is definitely deep, cerebral. Good choice tonight! Looking forward to seeing if you play other of their songs. Have a good weekend! Peace out!

[@freddymo3339]

Here's a rare performance: Fanfare for the Common Man * ELP perform live (sound check) empty stadium, one cold winter morning.

[@mikeroche9986]

They are considered progressive rock like the band Yes. Never was a fan of these guys but their song “Lucky Man” was their most popular song. I’m pretty sure you would know that one.

[@tracycampbell3060]

❤its in my top 5 all time favorite songs

[@barriehull7076]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer, UK rock group Emerson, Lake & Powell, UK rock group, successor of the above

[@donbeckman884]

This was their only Top 40 song, peaking at #39. Their follow up "Lucky Man" reached #51.

[@kratino]

The video game influence came from Emerson, who does have a role in the middle of this song. But this is almost purely Lake, the vocalist, guitarist, bassist, producer, lyricist. ELP had many, many sounds. They'll blow your mind with the musical 180s.

[@kratino]

At one point, Lake is playing acoustic, electric, and bass (overdubs).

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Their most famous tracks are probably their version of the classical piece "Fanfare for the Common Man" and the track "Lucky Man', but my favourite is "Still... You Turn Me On". And if you like this level of "out there" for this era of music, ELP were one of the big prog rock bands of their era, along with King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, and early Genesis. Some King Crimson or Yes would go down a treat :)

[@legendtwo]

ELP was a legendary band. Great music. Genius level. You should check out Fanfare For The Common Man by them. But they have many that you would find enjoyable.

[@jimwilcox2964]

Live in Montreal in the empty olympic stadium, in the winter

[@legendtwo]

@@jimwilcox2964 That's my favorite version that I have heard them do.

[@randyteta9170]

Fun song to play on acoustic guitar

[@Wordsmyth8]

I always thought this song was amazing. Unique, haunting and beautiful. P. S. I think the instrument you heard after the guitar solo is a Moog synthesizer.

[@danlrusso]

Pretty cool when a good guitarist/singer covers this in a club. Great guitar parts in this one.

[@jimshoe9519]

Slow motion Banger!
