This frontman SHOULD be hired by Carl Palmer to sing the old ELP songs. What an incredible voice, very similar to Lake's. And the whole band is to be congratulated too.
I saw ELP in Dayton Ohio just before the WORKS tour. I was just 15 at the time and it was a 'general admission' show. I stood six foot at 15 but when the few doors opened and everyone pushed forward to get in I was literally lifted off of my feet and moved forward. I remember panicking a bit. A time later THE WHO would play Cincinnati and people died. General admission tickets to rock concerts (more or less) stopped after that. The show blew my f*cking mind! I've been a slave to prog-rock ever since. I'm 63 today and still play ELP at a volume neither my neighbors or my wife can fully understand or appreciate. 😛🤣
What a nice surprise to find this. We attended this show - it was great fun! I've been an ELP fan since the early 70's and saw them live many times. These guys do a great job of representing them. It was our first time at Daryl's House. Food was good and the show great. We'll be back!
Fantastic! So glad the algorithm threw this up for me. Have always loved ELP and this is one of my all time favourites. Brilliant to see it covered so magnificently and, as others have said, sounds just like Greg Lake. Well done!
How is this even possible? Even when ELP recorded this, they used an entire Orchestra, and all three of these guys sound almost exactly like the original studio recording. ELP wrote some of the most complex, difficult to play music, not only in rock, but in any genre, and these guys not only pulled it off, they excelled at it. Think of the hours and hours of work that must have went into this. I am blown away. Wow. Much respect. Bravo.
Always a pleasure to hear the music of ELP kept alive! Been finding more people posting their work of ELP on RU-vid these days. The Brain Salad Surgery tour @ Madison Square Garden (Welcome Back album) was the greatest show I had ever seen. Only topped 38 years later by Roger Waters performing “the Wall” at Yankee Stadium (17th row on the field) Great job guys! 👍🏻🍻❤️😎
ELP will forever live in our hearts and minds but I give these guys the highest credit ...they did an impeccable job interpreting this. Sign me up as a fan!
Super job on a brilliant piece of music!!! This originally started out as the music score for a movie based on the Jack Higgins novel Storm Warning. But when the project fell apart it was reworked into Pirates for the band.
Actually, when they started working on it, they were going to make it another sci-fi, post-apocalyptic piece until Regina Lake spoke up and said that a pirate themed song would go over much better. That’s from the source. Thanks for listening.
Wow, excellent. Great sounds you got on your boards. The vocals are much better than a past video. I am amazed that the recording of the drums sounds like the album. Much thanks for keeping the music alive.
Damn! Great arrangement and performance...and solid vocals, which I didn't expect. Seriously great job! And look at that Behringer Deep Mind handle big chunks of the keyboard parts. Didn't expect that. Thanks much for the post
I know, right? Great vocals are hard so I never expect that from covers. I was very pleasantly surprised! And you're right about Behringer. They've upped their game.
