Emerson, Lake & Palmer Videos Blog
** Emerson, Lake and Palmer Video Blog **
** I just started this blog and getting used to the tools/ editing. I’ll be adding more ELP videos to here, Pink Floyd/ my other music choices will be coming down the road in separate blogs. **
I remember ELP–mostly from the 70’s. Brain Salad Surgery (Lucky Man) was my fave. When I visited this blog this morning, I was too upset/frantic over my own posting problems to kick back and enjoy the tunes here. Which I am doing now!
I also blog mostly about music, so I’m sure you can understand why I was so bummed when I thought no YouTube!
thanks again for your help and your friendship, Mars.
Actually, BSS came a couple of years later (73), but what a great title for an LP; Lucky Man was earlier on their debut album. Brain fart, I guess.
Emerson Lake and Palmer not only had as sensational act, they were all 3 superb musicians in every way. Additionally they gave us something we had never seen or heard before. There was an unfortunate incident where they had pissed off a music critic who was a very powerful person in the Music press at that time. And because of that a lot of the reviews they got after that were very unkind as well as not true.
I have a huge surprise for you but I am not going to be the one who posts it here. I am going to make sure that our dear friend THE DREAM sees this blog. Its going to blow you away when you see what he does!!!! hehehehehehehehehe.
from what i know, ELP was under obligation to do the album (Love Beach). they slapped it together quickly just to get it over with and get out of their record deal. i didn’t really care for it either because they didn’t put much effort into it. i loved the live 3 disc set, Welcome Back…….., that was a great performance. the long moog solo on Aquatarkus was based on the song “The Minotaur” by Dick Hyman, one of my classic moog tunes. it was from the 1968 album “MOOG-the electric electics of Dick Hyman. i managed to find the MP3 album online. they also have “The Minotaur” on Myspace music, the song is on my 100 song “jukebox” profile >>> http://www.myspace.com/mars2.0test

Neal was the only ELP guy there who ever said a word to me. so thats why i did that for him..It was one of the first animations I ever made. But Neal also got me thinking about some stuff. There is no definitive image that is associated with them. And so I was challenged to come up with something that the fan sites could use..
You are a Martian, and so I know you what this is..lol

If I could have designed their stage set this is how I did that.

The stage set picture needs to be seen in its proper size. It gets shruk because of the restrictions of this blog.

There is one thing that is very certain about all this. Martians know good music when they hear it…It never dawned on me before. But thats what I get for thinking they are just these squashy little green guys who make css bulletins..If anyone ever asks you for a green card, you tell them “FUK YOU, I DONT NEED NO STINKING GREEN CARD..I AM A GUEST OF THE DREAM AND THAT MEANS I HAVE DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!!”
See Marz?? I wasnt lying was I? hahahahahah It brought both of the kids in here. How do you like that?
hey brother mars, you were the first guy I thought of when I saw this, and so I thought it was important to remind everyone that martians are people too..
Hi MARS!!! I thought of you when I found this today!!
