Man, Palmer is on fire in this one

[@HenryNichols-xg8yr]

Carl was always on fire.

This awesome performance by ELP should be totally remastered. Full show, no edits.

[@heartsource417]

Lit and FIRED! These guys man and power their instruments like ROCKETS! MY GOD! I don't are where, just take me on that flight!

[@jasminefairchild8591]

One of the greatest bands in the history of R and R .. LONG LIVE THE MEMORY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@someoneoutthere7512]

Monster drum solo... I've never seen better!

[@debbylawhon8101]

Each magnificent in their own right. To be able to sing and play guitar like this, play two keyboards at one without looking and to drum without missing a beat and so creatively! Not enough can be said about these guys! Not to mention the revolving drum kit and the spinning piano!

[@lancerx1759]

The amount of talent and energy encapsulated in ELP is freaking amazing to witness

[@DavidWagaman]

ELP, nothing compares! 🔥👍

[@robertopedrolangstroth3945]

Greg’s underrated guitar work is insane in this performance! And it’s not drowned out in the mix! Thanks!!!!!!

this was one of those bands who are ahead of their time and underrated, but great,

[@terryandrews7271]

And the early seventies, They were on my radio and tape player all the time, Love Emerson lake and Palmer

[@chrispraz877]

ELP always used as a synonym for over indulgent prog rock. But you just can't f*ck with how amazing these guys were.

[@juliehitter5206]

In April this year (2022), it will be 48 years that my husband attended the Best Concert of his life, "The California Jam". ELP was Great, as were the other bands that played that day. He was in college at Arizona Western and his roommate and teammate on the football team and several dorm friends hopped in a car and headed to Calif. to listened to the the Greatest Music of this Era (70's). When he plays his albums of Rare Earth, Deep Purple, ELP, The Eagles, & Black Sabbath (I know the were a couple others), he will talk about this concert. Great Memories!!!

[@oldmanghost219]

My cousin went and came back talking about a spinning piano and with an album from a group I never heard of. ELP Brain Salad Surgery. I couldn't believe what i was hearing it just got better better and better.

Why are these guys NOT in the R & R Hall of Fame? They have more talent in their finger nail than 90% of the ones in it.

[@whaheydelee]

No room for them, the R&R HoF needs to make room for the likes of Donna Summer and the Osmond Brothers. Best ELP is not included in that group.

[@arame29]

Agreed

[@oldmanghost219]

I agree. They belong there.

A lot of singers use the chewing gum to moisten the throat while singing. Lennon did it as well.

[@beekay5914]

If you're doing a lot of stimulants, such as coke or meth, you chew gum so you won't grind your teeth. Greg was always chewing, in every video.

[@darrellgilliam8441]

I was at Cal Jam in 1974 with a group of friends. We managed to make our way to the front before ELP started (which was a feat in itself). At one point Keith Emerson and his organ lifted into the air and started rolling forwards, over and over. My friend and I looked at each other to make sure we were both seeing the same thing. We had been partying since the sun came up that morning, and who knew what was real at that point. ELP was the headliner for this Cal Jam, and this was the peak of their success.

[@jaymortensen642]

I saw them in Springfield Ma. around 77 and I remember his organ arcing side to side shooting red sparks out of the bottom I was so close I could feel them hit me right before it exploded and the big cabinet in back with the oscilloscope disappeared probably beneath the stage I too had been parting and was ready to pass out right before that happened and it sure brought me back to life.

[@oldmanghost219]

I believe you didn't know what was real because it wasn't an organ. It was a piano. My cousins were up front and as usual had a bonfire. RIP Greg & Keith.

[@darrellgilliam8441]

@@oldmanghost219 , you're right. It was a grand piano.

[@roybean7166]

You guys lucky you saw them live. I live in south africa, those were the days we did not have much live bands touring here. But i was a big fan. ELP, and their style of prog rock was massive here. Roy b, CapeTown south africa 🇿🇦

[@sammencia7945]

At this time in 1974 ELP were THE top grossing Rock band on earth. Both Zeppelin and the Stones didn't tour from mid 73 to mid 75 and these guys came out on top.

Bajista de Emerson, Lake & Palmer y en guitarra más grabó en la acústica, pero también le hacía bien a la eléctrica. Dos de los héroes de Greg Lake en el instrumento eléctrico amplificado fueron Hank Marvin de The Shadows y Jimi Hendrix... De Jimi, Lake dijo:"Nunca olvidaré aquella mañana de 1967 en que mientras me preparaba el desayuno escuchando radio, desprevenido escuché los segundos iniciales de Foxey Lady de The Jimi Hendrix Experience... Supe al instante que algo había cambiado ya en la música, y que iba a ser para siempre"...

[@pablotorres7436]

Suena a Rockn'roll pero esta sección de la suite Karn Evil 9, no es Rockn'roll convencional. La métrica de la letra y que haya rimado, es muy tenaz eso. Primero fue instrumental, así la tocaban o preparaban. Se la conoció popularmente como Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends... la canción tuvo un pequeño resurgimiento en la década del 90' cuando fue utilizada en un capítulo de la serie Friends. Los adultos que veían la divertida sitcom la recordaron y los jóvenes que fueron la principal audiencia de la serie, empezaron a llamar a las emisoras de rock de sus ciudades para que les programen al aire Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends, sin saber de quienes se trataba, solo mencionando la famosa frase gancho de Lake

[@pablotorres7436]

El solo de batería más famoso de Carl Palmer, seguidor de Buddy Rich, también amigo personal que lo visitaba a veces para conversar y aprender de su experiencia. Palmer en la actualidad sigue velocísimo... CP es el Velociraptor... 🦖

[@pablotorres7436]

A los que realmente les gusta esta música, no les importa que el Hall De La Fama del Rockn'roll ni les haya incluido mientras Carl Palmer continúa con vida... Para ellos este es el verdadero Show Que No Se Acaba Nunca

[@yamijorge]

@@pablotorres7436 Lo más curioso de todo es que los inicios de Greg Lake en el bajo eléctrico fueron por "imposición" de Robert Fripp en la primera etapa de King Crimson previa a grabar "In the Court of the Crimson King" (antes de la llegada de Adrian Belew en la formación ochentera del Rey Carmesí, Fripp no quería otro guitarrista en la banda). Recuerdo haber leído en una entrevista que Lake en un principio subestimó las capacidades del bajo eléctrico, pero una vez que empezó a tocar dicho instrumento cambió totalmente de opinión. Y de hecho, la forma de tocar el bajo de Lake fue casi como una especie de "transición" de su trabajo como guitarrista a las 4 cuerdas (no por nada Lake siempre tocaba el bajo con púa).

[@l.plantagenet2539]

I saw a docu on them and this was the video they played and they showed Carl afterwards going backstage and was fine until he was out of the sight of the audience and then he leaned up against the wall. He was exhausted. One of his drum sets was beautiful and it may have been this one but he had at one point 4 gongs and the church bell that hung up above him. It weighed half of a ton. Ringo Starr has it now. He only had the steel drum set for one tour and he had gotten the makers to engrave animals in it like a bird and a jackrabbit. It was very pretty.

[@l.plantagenet2539]

Greg was so pretty with that vocal range he had.

[@oldmanghost219]

@@l.plantagenet2539 Yes I saw that too. and since no one made drums sets like that out of steel, they had to get a steel fabricator to make the drums. Carl was asked how thick he wanted them he picked the thicker one not realizing the weight. i think the choice was 1/8th or 1/4th of an inch

[@garyscarlett5471]

Lawyers and Money .

[@drfreud65]

​@garyscarlett5471 Bingo- money. It's always money.

[@danielbagala8606]

According to what the official CalJam site published on its Facebook channel, each group could request a copy of the original tape from ABC of their concert, obviously paying for it. That's how Deep Purple did it and that's why today on their official site you can see their performance in full. ELP unfortunately did not reserve its copy; After some time ABC re-recorded those tapes, losing the content and that is why only incomplete and low-quality parts survived.
