8 - Greg Lake I Talk to the Wind 3-23-2013

[@ItsAllAboutNash]

And so the ailing Sir Gregory du Lac bravely faced his last battle, having bid his many friends adieu with his finest ballads. I was too young to realize just how wonderful his work was and would yet become. Ave atque vale, sweet sir. Your music matters to me now, when I need it most.

I just loved this man since I was 5 years old in 1971 when my late brother played Lucky Man by ELP to me when he returned from Vietnam. When I got into my teens, I remember pulling my brother's ELP albums, looking at them, listening to the music. I thought “ Wow! These guys are three very talented musicians and good looking too. My personal favorite was Greg 😍. His voice was just phenomenal. I never got a chance to see ELP or Greg live (😢) , but have seen Carl's band who are terrific. Rest In Peace maestro Keith and beautiful Greg and thank you Carl for carrying on the legacy. ✌🏻❤️🤘🏻 Love for King Crimson as well!

RIP dear Greg wherever you are!

[@hammer-r]

A hauntingly beautiful song.

[@deborahklinlger8565]

So haunting. Loved GL. Father Christmas & Lucky Man to this very day are two of my fav songs by him. Such a joy to listen to him & his storytelling. Miss GL. It's March 2022, now sadly only CP is left from ELP. It's bittersweet to see this video, makes me cry.

[@fritzcat6198]

THE VOICE!!!

[@cliffmautner]

Just stumbled across this. I can't thank you enough for posting this. I miss these guys, and their spirit is depicted in this short video. Grateful to have found it.

[@barrygreenstein8383]

I saw ELP here in Montreal when they were touring to support the "Works" albums. It was one of the best concerts that I have ever seen!

[@sbrubaker]

Some folks didn't like the recorded backup stuff he played to, but it was okay as far as I was concerned. I'm just so happy that I got a chance to see this legend!

[@institutfurtiefenwahrheit]

Yeah but it‘s only semi-playback.

[@darnrabbits1]

Nobody sounds like their young self when they're 60 years plus, but Greg had a true gift...that tone. I miss him already. Go back, listen to court of the crimsom king and tarkus. Some wonderful music.

[@leonakita]

Indeed, in his day, Greg had the most powerful yet soothing vocal tone. I still feel his best vocal work is on 'Epitaph' from KC's debut album.

Take a Pebble

[@Digmen1]

Wow, it seems so long ago that the King Crimson album came out. It really was a game changer. I did nto realise that Greg sang on it.

[@mikechampagne-manresagroup9288]

53 years goes by in a hurry

[@Windsongbyrd2273]

Fabulous!

[@shannara11]

This one has to be my favorite of them all. Thanks for posting, your videos are wonderful.

[@horseyhorselips3501]

shannara11 this song And Epitaph are my favorite songs I only wish to find karaoke CD’ with them for me to sing along with and I still have my original copy of this album from 1970 when I bought it

[@sbrubaker]

Thanks shannara111! Seeing Greg Lake was a thrill for me.

[@winterlane2247]

Hope to see you soon my Sweet; you inspire me!

[@GlennHallLivingWater]

Amazing. When Greg began to sing tears came to my eyes. Beautiful, amazing song. This may be my favorite version... but check out Judy Dyble's version!

[@spjresq313]

Great story Greg--ah em ...Mr Lake!--like you guitar version --what happened to I McDonald after all this--sounds as if there is a synthesized flute solo--not bad and sticks to the original format which is refreshing for me as a novice flutist.

[@JohnDavis-xk5fi]

I can't understand most of what he is saying. It is the combination of the echoing vocal and my tiny phone speaker.

[@jonmurph589]

Was that guitar playing itself at the very start of the track ?

[@arieldogliotti]

5.25 min talking

[@sbrubaker]

Yes, and we were very blessed to get that much time with him and his stories.

[@GraachAhim]

A little bit out of shape here. Not musically. Physically.

[@mr.gone2]

Never, never forgotten Mr. Lake.

[@markhaus2830]

Well we all get old.

[@deborahklinlger8565]

He was over 60 in this video, his voice was still great. In 2016 he died. We all age & due. Just listen to his strong voice & enjoy. He is missed.

[@bobwollard9105]

He was already in the midst of pancreatic cancer. Can't you give this man some measure of grace?
