Emerson, Lake & Palmer Lyrics


The seeds of ELP were sown in 1969, when both The Nice
(which featured Keith Emerson on keyboards) and King
Crimson (which featured Greg Lake on bass and vocals) did a
few shows together. Both bands had been at the forefront of
the British rock scene.

The Nice had enjoyed several hits, but were known more for
its wild stage show that was a showcase for Keith Emerson,
who had been tagged a keyboard wizard and "the Jimi Hendrix
of the Hammond organ." They were just beginning to build a
huge following in the United States. King More...

Review about Emerson, Lake & Palmer songs

Rediscovery | Reviewer: Kim Cousins
    ------ About the song Tarkus performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Like many people my music preferences changed through the years.I was heavily into rock music in my late teens and twenties.I bought many albums which subsequently I got rid of as my tastes changed. What a fool I was to do that!! Now I am 59 and I have turned full circle and am rediscovering my love of the likes of ELP,Led Zep, king crimson, deep purple etc. "Tarkus" as someone else has mentioned, is a one off and obviously embedded itself in my soul, because now I have bought the CD and it's just like I am listening to it for the first time again. I love it.


play a good song made simple | Reviewer: mike clay
    ------ About the song Lucky Man performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Most instructional videos are good enough to play lucky man in a simple way and usually the easiest way. in concert lake has his own way of playing the chords that are used. so learn this song thw easy it really does sound as good.


ELP at the California Jam | Reviewer: Ty
    ------ About the song Take A Pebble performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

If you appreciate ELP and ever have an opportunity to watch The California Jam, keep watching until ELP's portion of the show. You'll witness Emerson playing a full grand piano as it turns over end to end. Quite the showman, that one.


the best show i ever went to | Reviewer: RADAR
    ------ About the song Tarkus performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

it is incredible that the 3 of them could put out such fine music. i saw them in Shreveport in 71.a freind and i took 3 hits of screaming yellow zonkers and went to the show. keith had some kind of system where he was at his organ and they lifted it up in the air and it was spinning him head over heels and he was playing and then he pulled a dagger out and was stabbing the organ and it was screaming like a a wounded dinasour. or was that just the acid. no really, it was the coolest show ever. i was 17. thanx ELP


the joy of tarkus | Reviewer: jay
    ------ About the song Tarkus performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

What a pleasure to finally read the words to one of my top twenty albums of all time!! i just listened to the whole album 4-5 weeks ago, and i was just overwhelmed by it's intensity...tarkus is a masterpiece, never to be forgotten in the hearts of those who love it!


ELP for life | Reviewer: Prioli
    ------ About the song Trilogy performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

i don't agree Tom, cause i'm 21 and like ELP, all my friends like ELP too and they all have the same age.
I also know people who is under 20 and know ELP very well.
I don't have much to say, but as a musician i don't think that music is something to stereotype it reaches all ages and all minds. that's all


Emerson Lake & Pantus | Reviewer: ELP Pantus
    ------ About the song Tarkus performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

First album I bought at age 15 was Iron Butterfly, In a gadda da vida. After that I bought ELP #1 in 1970, you know with the psychedellic-dove picture on front: Lucky-man, Barbarian, Knife edge, Tank. Man that blew my mind. This was VIRTUOSO @ WORK.
Since then I have saved my money and collected all albums. Keith, was better then Jimmy Hendrix in my mind, so I did not care about him too much.
The only think that came close was LAZY by Led Zep, from Life in Tokyo.
Mid 80's CD's came along, Mid 90's MP3. So I digitized all ELP and play it in my car now.
I agree with all comment here,
TARKUS IS DA BEST! BSS comes next.


ELP is awesome road trip! music | Reviewer: Deborah Hart
    ------ About the song Tarkus performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

I have been a fan of ELP since I first heard of them in the 70's. Everybody thought I was nuts. I got to see them 3 times, and they put on a helluva show! I love to listen to their music when I am on the road. It is the best cruisin' music, especially when the highway runs through beautiful, spacey looking scenery! Wonder what they're up to now?


The sage | Reviewer: Crampaudio
    ------ About the song The Sage performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

No Lyn, it's not new at all.
EL&P recorded it live in 1971 on the album "Pictures at an exhibition".
I don't think they'll be touring this year (everyone of them has his own solo project) and even in the past tours they never performed this song.
More, I never heard it performed by Greg on his solo tours and that's a pity


Hard to pick ELPs best, but can't go wrong here | Reviewer: Gary
    ------ About the song Tarkus performed by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

The album version is definitive. I'm trying to memorize it all so I can play it in my head note for note. I don't play an instrument. If you can, download a torrent or trade for one of the live versions. Boston 12/73 is my fav. Jersey City 8/73 quality is not as good, but at 40 minutes, it's worth having and enjoying. Keith wears his Tarkus medallion 24x7. Guess that tells you that he thinks of this work as his masterpiece. Bummer he had to cancel his tour due to recurring hand problems.
