From The Beginning - Emerson Lake and Palmer - Neighborhood Picnic Band 2015

[@Louisvillebilly]

No one covers this !!! ...you guys nailed it !!!! Some talented musicians up there ! Great job boys

[@cdog6725]

Yall knocked that one right out of the ballpark, EXCELLENT 😊

[@frankantonio8049]

One of my favorite ELP , Thanks for a perfect performance of this song !

[@georgegrexa9536]

I'm a 69 yr old record producer/ drummer, highly skilled, and an ELP fan. This is the greatest killer copy of this song I have ever heard. Stunning, to say the least. I also am a musical prick. I hope after this gig you guys went out and had a few give each other hugs and told yourselves that was GREAT. Cause it was. What care to detail and respect for the original. WOW, Great. I hope you are all alive and still playing. Great. Be Proud.

[@TheHammerhead12]

Thank you George, we are all old friends that do this gig once a year for fun. We all go back 50 years! Thank you for the kind words!

[@jonnybeck6723]

@@TheHammerhead12 The Gods smile on such a friendship (...and I'm just plain envious)

[@kennyd19]

As made my day!! Many thanks. Took me back to great old days! ELP was and still is my favorite… you all are incredible.

[@aschule5684]

This has always been an emotional song for me. Even more so now in the sad absence of both Greg Lake and Keith Emerson, thanks for putting a little shine on this jewel of progressive rock gods ELP and keeping the love alive✌️

[@mrsig7381]

Bravo! Great cover!

How in the world does anyone have a conversation during this song! I'd be staring in awe with my mouth open.

Excellent! You don't see too many Emerson Lake and Palmer covers.

You will have to try and find the blind lass who does Keith Emerson !

[@briane173]

My guess is that 85% of the people at the picnic had never heard this piece. "From the Beginning" is a superb introduction to ELP for anyone under 40 who'd never heard of them.

That voice is hard to duplicate.

GREAT COVER! All 4 musicians excellent performances! I could never understand hater people. 5 negative votes. Why?

[@robertjohnson3855]

Nice cover guys . For me this is one of those songs that can never get old . You guys did a good job . RIP Greg Lake, Keith Emerson, ELP. Greatly missed.

[@coachgkap]

Two kids on the bench not realizing they are being dosed with an all-time great tune. Right into their bone marrow. Love this, and Doug grinning the entire time.

[@RMINTZELL]

That organist loves what he does. Love the smile!

[@JenniferDavis-nt9zm]

Cool, from beginning, you're guys nail it.

[@cristiancarrizo7170]

Escucho a ELP desde 1972...,y escuché muchas covers ; pero son duda está es la mejor versión. Excelente y distinguida imitación ; y evocación. ( Thanks !!! )

[@MikeC-g8f]

Great job guys!

[@goodmanshealth]

Excellent Bass and really good job on the vocal although no one could ever do it like Greg Lake (R.I. P.).

I dig the hell out of this band, your set list is amazing

[@williamhenshaw8650]

You guys must live in a magical neighborhood! That was pretty damned near the best cover I've ever heard of "From the Beginning" . Awesome is a term that is too often used and seems to have lost any weight it used to carry, so all I can say is that upon listening to it again, a couple of times, it is the best cover, you guys did a terrific job. More ribs and tater salad for everyone. Thanks.

[@57cire]

Best cover of this song I’ve ever heard!!! 💕 beautifully done…

[@MrTomengle]

Im sorry it took so long to find you guys. Nice job. You did a great job from the beginning.

Loved this cover. You all did it justice. One of the most beautiful songs ever if not the most.

[@BillBuck1972]

OUTSTANDING!

[@ianfisher6561]

A few days ago the Neighbourhood Picnic Band appeared on my YT front page. I thought what the hell and ignored it. Then it appeared again so I listened and watched, now I am hooked. Looks like the band only existed for a short spell in 2015. They did great justice to all the music that they played. I have subscribed, but sad that they don't seem to be performing now.

[@DVSdrums]

incredible fellas...love this tune and played it with a few cover bands with quality players. I play keyboards (started in mid 70s) and very impressed with Doug Orlando's playing and authentic detail of the patches he is using. I just wish I lived near enough to bring a shit load of bbq chicken or beef kabobs to the next picnic!
