The Sonic Elements Channel on RU-vid is a place where you can listen and watch the band "Sonic Elements" in the studio and behind the scenes interviews and random related videos with a range of spectacular guest musicians who have played with bands like Yes, Genesis, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, It Bites, Tears for Fears, Spock's Beard, Kevin Gilbert and more.
It’s sad when a person is older and money problems as a musician are difficult thru your entire life anyway. When I heard how he left us it was so sad. I saw ELP. For Brain Salad tour and works tour They went all out on the stage show Just the storage costs when a artist isn’t as popular is very costly
Emerson never came across as a business person, but rather everything is all about music. I have the DVD documentary and he said that when it came to that stuff he couldn't be bothered. Palmer and Lake seemed to care about their finances.
They were (Moog) Lyra and Apollo. Lyra was the monophonic and Apollo polyphonic. They were part of the intended ensemble called Constellation, which also included Taurus bass pedals. Lyra was not developed for production unlike Apollo which became the Polymoog and obviously Taurus bass pedals.
I liked Love Beach right from the start, the day it came out. Still got my original copy, and it still plays great. One thing: Yes and Genesis went commercial after ELP did Love Beach, so in a way, ELP were the first band to try going commercial, long before anybody else. I still like Love Beach.
Love this interview. And he was a gentleman as was Greg as well, when it comes to speak about ELP. When was this interview done?? Because he says like "never say never" about ELP, as so did Greg, after the High Voltage Festival. But Carl Palmer ruined everything when he said he admitted he stopped an ELP reunion after High Voltage. Both Keith and Greg were open to it back then, if the opportunity came, but Palmer said "no". Wait, if a band breaks, shouldn't be a group decision, not just one person?? Keith is being so polite on the matter here. He almost said the same as Greg in those days. "open to it", that's it. But beyond all that, I love Keith very much and I miss him. The man was a genious; he managed to play amazingly brilliant despite the pain on his right hand and the effort he did was remarkable. The greatest keyboard player ever as well as a musician as a whole. ❤
His enthusiasm for resurrecting ELP is underwhelming. Sounded like he felt obligated more than he felt excited. Ah well, it's all moot, now, unfortunately.
A close friend of mine who was Front of House Engineer for several venues with ELP, reminiscing, remembers many a driver, both high frequency and low frequency that ELP totally crisped up using the Moog. He said it kept his equipment fresh and current. LMAO. Live forever Keith in our hearts and memories.
Other than the track 'Taste of My Love' and perhaps the lyrics (not the music) of the track 'Love Beach' and the front cover(should have been a empty cover like Roxy Music's Country Life empty cover alternate version), the record's is a solid fine piece of work.
@@RikEmmett08 Lol Please tell me you're the Rocket! That's exactly how He would reply. If you are I just want to tell you that my husband and I have followed you for your whole career. We met you many times..... I'm not sure you realize how much your solo career meant to us And your true fans🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈😍😍😍😍🥰🥰💘💘💘💘
Yes we could have definitely done without that cover ! On the other hand Its ELP trying to be more commercial so they gave it their best shot ( at the time) . It was also the last album of the contract and they were burnt out and tired of each other . Emerson on any given day can write super high quality 3-4 mins songs with interesting modal changes and tempos . Way better than 90 % of crap on radio / internet these days. Later examples of this are : EL& Powell, Black Moon, Power of 3.
One album of VDGG or Peter Hammill beats the whole catalogue of this guy...Keep on planting knives in organ...Peter hammill plants knives in words, voice and his music is an axe not a knive....
For me Keith Emerson is comparable to Bach in terms of innovativeness. I can't express how much I admire this man. May he rest in peace, and his music live forever
I couldn't find the Moog version of Lucky Man, (quite a few are acoustic only - how it started.) But I managed to find the solo on some newer keyboards. They had the patched-up Moog on the stage but it was just a prop. Keith in the day looked like a famous comedian actor from SNL: Emerson Lake & Palmer “Lucky Man” Live At Montreux 1997 - RU-vid, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2_6sHg9CPl8.html
What a fine, clever and educated guy Keith always was!!! 'Music is about experimentation...' and thus they became the apex of prog... And Love Beach was simply a great LP, with a disastrous cover, and one or two poor songs, but pretty good, in general...Canario, by Gaspar Sanz, and the long Suite are both masterpieces...His speech was almost so musical as his own life...RIP
This is a very interesting clip. I've never really heard what happened to them around this period. I was about 9 or 10 years old at the time and I absolutely loved ELP, especially Brain salad surgery and Works. All of a sudden they just disappeared. I got into Genesis to fill the void
I guess it was the difference between their older stuff and Love Beach. Genesis had always pop elements in their music, Yes was always an unpredictable band with weird time signatures etc., ok - but sometimes they sounded like a guitar driven hardrock band. But ELP was the tip of the iceberg called Progrock. No other band played such "avantgarde" material like Tarkus or Toccata. But from there to Love Beach is quite some distance.
Don't worry EMERSON, no have any problem whit the album love Beach, the is fantastic the image or the picture of the album is great, is just 3 big Artists happy in the Island in the Bahamas, what, s the problem whit that, the only problem here is the sick heads of the stupid people nao have the feeling for watch when some thing have quality or not, i love the album love Beach and the picture of the album is great and lovely. If you dont like no problem listen the Bee Gees, and leave EMERSON LAKE & PALMER alone. Cheers
Personal taste but I didn't care for the digital sound of the GX-1, I don't know all the equipment Emerson had on the Brain Salad Surgery tour but I thought the sound of the analog was far superior. In my opinion the BSS Tour was ELPs Zenith.
I don't know why people beat around the bush, Love Beach sucked ! ! !, as did In The Hot Seat..... ELPs first album,.... Trilogy,.... Tarkus,.... Pictures At An Exhibition,.... Brain Salad Surgery,.... now that's what people want to hear.
I have always regarded the moog as a living and breathing creature! As Keith stated, at the low bass end, it sounds like itz grumbling. Saw ELP IN 1971 and the intro of this creature. Nothing had EVER sounded like his moog. It blew everyone away! Still smitten to this day. R.I.P. Keith
Keith alludes to Genesis here but Genesis did 5 Love Beaches really, ABACAB, Genesis, Invisible Touch etc. but the difference was that they really loved it, and talk very fondly about their tracks and the fans went with it. "Who dunnit" clearly isnt "Suppers Ready" is it? ELP didnt like the whole Love Beach thing. How can it do well if the band hated it.
