Classic Keith Emerson
920777
I really enjoyed this.  Some say Keith Emerson was the heart of ELP and this CD teams the immense talent that is Keith Emerson with Bonilla and Mikkelsen and the result is just magical.  Some familiar tracks get expanded treatment and some new material to delight any Keith Emerson or ELP fan.

For those who enjoy Bosa Nova based organ music from the '50's & '60's, this is a must have. I enjoy sitting out on my deck with this filling the area, and back yard, with lively B3 classics. Pick up a copy, put on play, and relax.

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer are my favorite prog rock band, and this is arguably their most balanced album as a band. On most of their albums, Emerson and Palmer dominated the proceedings, while Lake diddled on his bass guitar, usually playing a simple riff or two while Keith and Carl ripped their instruments a new one. Lake only really shined during the ballads, and probably resented Emerson and Palmer (Emerson especially) for their domination of the band. This album strikes a beautiful balance between all three. The opener, The Barbarian, opens with a killer guitar riff (yes, guitar), then breaks into a blistering version of Bartok's Allegro Barbaro (even though Emerson, Lake, and Palmer are credited with the song). The second song, Take a Pebble, is Greg Lake's most underrated ballad, and it's a damn shame, because it is one of his best songs, and one of ELP's best songs. It's an epic Greg Lake song running 12 1/2 minutes (usually the epic were courtesy of Emerson), and it boasts some great lyrics and amazing beautiful piano work by Emerson. Knife Edge has some great bass playing by Greg, which blends it beautifully with Emerson and Palmer. The Three Fates is mostly Emerson, until the final segment, when they all join in. Tank is a great Palmer drum workout, with excellent keyboard work from Keith and another great bass line from Greg, and Lucky Man closes it. It's Greg's signature song, and it's really all him. The synthesizer solo at the end was an add on. Greg wanted to give Keith something to do on the song, so Keith improvised the solo. ELP would get bigger and better with longer tracks (Tarkus, Karn Evil 9), but here they share more of the music. I'm not saying this is their best album (that's the triple live one), but it's certainly as good as anything they ever put out...

Keith's music is inspiring, heartfelt and electrifying all in one. His concerts and performances are the best you will ever experience. These songs are among his best. Keith is a true talent and a true musician. Great music Keith! Thank you!!

Keith Wyatt knows the blues. And he teaches how to play
blues WELL. So sharpen your ears. This is the real deal.
But you have to work on it, i.e. play the blues WELL.

Wyatt fan

This album is a great mix of fast and slow songs.  Keith has such a sweet voice and is a pleasure to listen to.  I really like his Orange Moon.  A good first album for a talented musician.

I love every note that Keith and company play.  There is a lot of free playing, but also some very easy to follow improvising on standard tunes.
I like the unique arrangements of Stars Fell on Alabama, Somewhere, and the uptempo Tonight.

I like Brian Keith in anything. He is so laid back and natural in his performances, much like Brando and Dean were.

This is a wonderful album by two classic performers. I will be the first to admit that my review may be influenced by the respect that Haggard and Nelson are due. I've been a fan of both gentlemen for almost 50 years. It was Haggard and Nelson and a select few others who kept country music alive during the 70's. For those who remember think about how crappy country music was then. Then listen to Willie and Merle from those years. You'll see what I mean. AS for this album. The writing is solid and so is the vocal. I especially like the Dylan song. I highly recommend this album.

it may not be one of the best in the world... but excellent broad range of the technically sound original tunes from blues, rugtime, to BlueG. 1977 album is all instrumental (Bill Keith plays a banjo in one track).  was hooked when i was in HS when i started to play (and sounds still good after 2X years later). good album to get some taste for an acoustic guitar playing.

Rory Gallagher was one of the greatest blues/rock guitar players of all time and these discs really shine as one of his best releases.  Like Johnny Winter, Rory is unique because he was one heck of a slide AND flat pick  player.  Most players are proficient in one or the other.  Disc one is all  live from different dates and venues, disc two is all great studio stuff  from the early seventies, except the last track which is another live cut.  You searched for Rory on Amazon because you are either familier with or  heard of the legend.  Modern blues/rockers can take many lessons from this  material.  Buy this set.  You will thoroughly enjoy it.

One of Keith's earliest albums, I had to get mine from Australia but its definitely worth it if you are a fan of his. Still has that great sound!

BODAST was formed after the breakup of Tomorrow, and one can easily see Steve Howe's guitar work continuing to evolve from that band here, into what he'd be doing not long after when he joined Yes.  As such, this forms a neat "companion" piece to the 2 early, non-Howe Yes albums, which came out at the time this was recorded.
Putting the lighter, fluffier side of Tomorrow behind him, Howe, together Bobby Clarke on drums, Dave Curtis on bass & lead vocals & Clive Skinner on vocals & acoustic guitar, wove a more serious, somewhat darker, but no less enjoyable set of rockers and moodier songs.  "Do You Remember" opens the set in a uptempo manner, before "Beyond Winter" takes things in a more ethereal direction.  "I Want You" sounds a bit like Bob Dylan on acid.  "Nether Street" features a eerie guitar riff which Howe put to good use as part of "Starship Trooper".  But "Tired Towers" is my fave song here-- its upbeat, catchy melody is somehow balanced by almost "spooky" vocal harmonies.  While none of this, tragically, was actually released until 1981, this song really should have been a single back in '69!
BODAST met a fate even worse than that experienced by TOMORROW (at least the earlier band was able to release 2 singles and an album before breaking up).  But that doesn't take away from how inspired the music they made was.

When you approach the discography of Emerson Lake and Palmer, you are sure to find a dozen or maybe more "Best of" albums trying to summarize the true essence of the band. The truth is that none of them accomplish that. If you want an album, live or recorded in studio, that brings out the soul of the band, "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends," not this one, has to be your choice.
ELP was a trio of virtuoso musicians, each of which continues to be recognized as one of the best at his instrument of all times. Keith Emerson played the piano and keyboards as a true maestro. Greg Lake (who started with prog-rock school, King Crimson) was a magician with his voice, the bass guitar and the acoustic guitar. And Carl Palmer, who ended up in Asia after ELP part I, I consider to be one of the fastest and most precise drummers there is, along with Phil Collins and Rush's Neil Pert.
Unfortunately, at this point in their careers (1992), you can tell that they're not the same as they were back in the 70s: Lake's voice has grown thick, and Emerson has suffered from severe health problems which affected the band for a few years after the release of the "Black Moon" (their studio recording that preceeded this live album). Thinking about it, it's not fair to expect them to be the same giants of 20-30 years ago, but being objective, this is not their best live production. However, I give it four stars.

Give to the 60 years old Keith Emerson, some young arms, let him play his keyboards like he can and you will have a great evening of ELP music with new songs from his Kieth Emerson Band, which are quiet good and fits very well with the ELP's material. The role play by Marc Bonilla on guitar and vocals give a heavier sound to the usual ELP's sound. The songs of ELP have been re-arranged and that is quiet refreshing, the songs have more speed and more power with Bonilla's guitar work.

The set list doesn't have any dull moments, even "Lucky Man" is rocking!. And what a way to finish the concert with a 30 minutes of "Tarkus", that contains some improvisations. The sound is clear and powerful in 5.1 surround, a lot better than the ELP 40th anniversary DVD.
