@@jsimons884 It’s not a good visual, granted, but as a vocalist, I can tell you that it’s sometimes a necessary evil. My go-to when I’m dry is usually a mint between the upper right cheek and gum, but it took a few times before I could keep it from dropping mid-song.🤦♂️

When I was a HS senior ELP came to Jadwyn Gym at Princeton University. A couple Of hours before the show I went to the ticket office on a whim to see if my girlfriend and I could get some cheap seats. The guy said the show was sold out but some lady just returned 2 tickets a minute before if I was interested. He said they were front row center. I smiled but thought it was a cruel joke. But they really were. We raced home to change and just made it into the packed place before the start. Ushers had to use flashlights to get us to our seats which were folding chairs on the floor 5' from the stage. The only 2 seats that were empty. A middle aged lady (and her teen son) who returned the tickets sat next to us. I thanked her wildly and suddenly the stage lit up, a very loud synthesizer began to play a sequence with no one in view and the band members took their places to thunderous applause. It was a magical experience and no one sang " Oh what a lucky man he was" louder than me!

ELP was an eye opening band for me. I was in awe of the atypical music and lyrics. From that point on I was hooked on progessive/experimental rock. Getting old isn't so bad. What hurts more than personally getting older is seeing ones idols of youth slip away. I am sad that Keith and Greg are no longer among us, but thankful for all they contributed.
@briane1739 ай бұрын
The Moody Blues impacted me the same way; they were the fathers of prog rock and once I heard them I gravitated toward all of them -- ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, et al. I feel the same way as I watch more and more of my rock idols pass away; I'm only glad I have their albums and these videos to take me back to that time -- not to re-live it but to have the music.

I saw Emerson Lake and Palmer on their tour following the release of Works Vol. 1, in 1978. It was on a 1st date with the last great love of my life. Well into the concert, Greg Lake came out and stood on a small rug under a single spotlight. His rendition of Lucky Man captured the audience perhaps moreso than all the other music that evening. Rumor had it that Lake would stand on a small, $18K Persian carpet. Great song by a Lucky Man indeed. It was one of better evenings of my life.
