ELP Tarkus Cover; Antoine Baril, Christian Pacaud, Francis Gregoire 

That was nuts. Up until now I didn't even try to picture how ELP originally managed to play Tarkus. When the album came out I just heard something assault me from the vinyl via the speakers. It sure sounded like an anthem for going to war.

That takes a lot of balls to jump into a tune like that!! Bravo!!

Awesome....happy to see a new generation with such fondess for old-school Prog. Thanks guys.

YOUNG PEOPLE playing 70's music what a concept freakin awesome

Perfectly played. I could easily mistake this for the real ELP

ELP have always made me crazy and this cover is too beautiful. Outstanding musicians.

Very nice!! And very respectful in memory of Keith Emerson. The genius, the master and the visionary of the prog, of the piano and organ rock. Rest in Peace, Keith.

My jaw dropped at the first two bars and never stopped. This sounds so good too.

3 keyboards for each hand. Keith approves.

My prayer goes to Keith and Greg.. their spirit will stay forever in these fine musicians' soul.

Wow...you did ELP and their music proud. Every one was at the top their game on this piece. I know this music well, and your performance was as inspired, as it was flawless.

Thank you guys, 40 year old ELP fan here and that was a brilliant cover.

Brilliant! I saw ELP live several times. This is a most righteous cover of a sonically dazzling track. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

As a long time EL&P fan that was a treat to watch and listen to. Lots of admiration for today’s generation not forgetting classic progressive music👍👍

Add these guys to the list of talented musicians who are keeping the ELP memory alive! Well done and thank you for your excellent rendition of TARKUS from one of ELP's biggest fans.

The Best Keyboard Player EVER!!! I grew up on there music!!! RIP Keith. I Really miss your music!!!

Brothers, thank you for the beautiful music. It is a pity that Keith is not with us anymore.

Great performance. 👏👏👏 Keith Emerson...what a genius.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

To the drummer. I had played Tarkus a thousand times before you were born. Tipping hat. You nailed it my friend. Not just good. Freaking awesome. Carl would be proud. All you guys did fantastic. So nice to see this amazing music being played by a younger generation. Don’t ever stop. This is when rock was great.

I don't know what to say, I am speechless, you guys are great musicians, thank you, I love this song!

OMG!!!! You guys are incredible! I’ve listened to Tarmi’s since the early ‘80s and seeing it played just reinforces how complex it is. Great work!

What an achievement! My hat's off to you gentlemen. Every few years I find yet another interpretation of one of the greatest prog compositions of all time. You have done an amazing job of managing the timing, the changes and the tonal complexities of this. Hearing this has made my day.

Jam up guys. Exceptional and very well played. Probably one of my first memories. That album cover. Remember it like yesterday, my oldest brother had it and thought the cover was just something out of this world. That was something close to 50 year's ago. But yet everytime I hear ELP my mind goes straight to that place in time. Thanks you for covering a great, and doing a great job .

I feel lucky to have seen ELP a few times back in the day. I saw the tour where Emerson strapped himself into his bench seat and the piano and him spun around while he played and palmers drum set spun around in a circle during his solo. Also had Quad speaker set up on floor of civic center. Blew our minds!!!

One of my favorites, former musician. I'll tell you-that is a difficult song to play-with any resemblance to the studio version. When testing new speakers, this first, Karnevil 9, 1st, Movement, King Crimson Red, Lark's Tounges in Aspic 2, one thing. I've heard many covers of this song-best drum performance of any cover. This guy quite properly '' attacks '' this song. Cymbal selection excellent. Well done..........

Oh yea ! Now this is more like it perfectly perfect really great job God bless you boys for keeping their memories alive and well just the voice of Greg which could never be replaced is missing but man you guys nailed it thanks

Je ferme les yeux, ouvre mes oreilles et me voici soudain au Stade olympique de Montréal avec ELP durant les années 1970. Tout y est : la virtuosité, l'énergie et la précision... À l'époque, la qualité du son dans le stade laissait beaucoup à désirer. Ce n'est pas du tout le cas ici. Le travail en studio est très impressionnant. Du talent à l'état pur.

Won-der-ful! Thanks a gazillion for this excellent rendition. ✨👍🏻

Enorme versión y agradecido que el legado de ELP llegue hasta nuestros dias.

This is probably the best trio cover of this iconic song..you three did justice to this rendition. Bravo Keep up the great work greatly appreciated.

ELP LIVES !!!!! rendition extremely close to original sound and style with great accuracy. Add a singer and do the whole thing !! Excellent musicianship !! There is hope for the world !!

Former professional drummer. Eruption is, by far, one of the most dynamic prog rock compositions. The drummer nailed it. That is surprising, saw them 4 times in concert, and never played it exactly like the awsome studio version. Always a little faster, less cohesive. You guys killed it.....

You are an amazingly talented musician Antoine. Really remarkable. I've seen your one man Genesis covers and I'm completely blown away.

wow ! you guys really nail it, the MOOG is priceless, it's just an eargasm to hear those lead patches played again...superb !

A smile on my face the entire way. That's all you need to know.

New Talented people, from time to time, but always old songs.

Great job. About as close to the masters as you're gonna get.

Tribute indeed. Hardcore ELP fancier here, you NAILED IT.

WOW ! WOW ! WOW ! Thats the best Ive ever heard !! You 3 nailed it so nicely ! Thankyou !!! Keep up the great work !

In an alternative dimension, this is the 1992 tour Tarkus intro and ending (Aquatarkus solo is in the middle of the show) Thanks for the sublime work. RIP Keith Emerson. Thanks to help people don't forget him

Your right Keith was great. i got to see ELP once at the Royal albert Hall in 1992 and then Keith with the Nice in 2005 (i think) where i got to shake his hand and finally at the Barbican a few years ago just before he sadly left us. Thank you guys fir this.

Absolutely stupendous! The genius of ELP lives on in new blood. Great version!

I like anybody that keeps Keith's music alive. Thank you.

Magnánimo felicitaciones! Escuchando esto al inicio del día gracias!

Love the sound of an L102 modded ! Keith Emerson made that Hammond sound so cool !

ESPETACULAR, Emerson Lake & Palmer, ETERNAMENTE.

One thing only would take the whole thing to an even higher plane, I reckon: Keith Emerson, along with Jon Lord and a few of the other truly great rock organists, knew the secret of really crisp phrasing that the best classical (pipe) organists brought to the likes of Bach fugues and such: the single most important thing is to lift *off* each note at the exact moment when it stops being essential.

C'est vraiment nice! Les québécois c'est les meilleurs

Thank you for keeping this fantastic music alive!

Great fantastic cover guys, thanks!

Fantastic job!Really makes you appreciate the talent and genius of the composers.RIP Keith and Greg

Playing the bass drum part with two feet gives it a power and fullness that the original never had. Also, the drum sound is superb. The multi-keyboard playing is fantastic and everyone's understanding of the song is so solid. . . A great rendition of a very difficult bit of music. Except for adding a singer so you could do the whole thing, I don't see how it could be improved. Fantastic.

Outstanding! I have continued to listen to Tarkus and all the ELP albums to this day. Great to watch and listen to you!

Fantastic playing all of you guys !! ❤💯👌👍👍

Quel beau travail !!! Excellent !!! Fidèle à l'original !!! Bravo! Tellement solide !!!

Keith Emerson smile in the heaven :')

Dead composers, some great, some good, some forgotten... Maybe this new generation learn how to compose & play music... Kudos to Tama for paying for this video...

Very well done! I almost expected to hear Greg Lake....

Beautiful... thank you!

Молодцы!!! Трудяги!!!

Excellent, guys, bravo and thanks!

Terrific playing! I will never forget the first time I heard ELP - I think "Tank" is the first album track I heard at a friend's house sometime late 1970 to early 71 and I ran right out and bought the album for myself. I must have heard Lucky Man on the radio first but "Tank" was the tune that sparked me to buy the album. I had never before heard anything like that Moog at the end of the tune 🤩

Brilliant, simple as that really. Class musicians , very well done you 3.

Superb job guys, no easy feat, thank you for sharing!

love what you brought to it.

Fantastic. There's something in my eye...

Very nicely done guys! I like the intensity, a bit more than the original - but pushing it sounds good. I see the concentration in all of your faces and remember the five times I saw ELP in concert and the almost relaxed look when they played the opening of Tarkus. That in itself shows the magnitude of Keith, Carl and Greg's talent! Thank you all for your work and dedication to the art. Oh, and I'm an 30 year recording engineer that has worked with the likes of Mannheim Steamroller and Stevie Ray Vaughan and your mixes are very well done as well… Hear Hear!

Stellar. This is a real treat. Thanks for showing so much respect for this music. Made my day.

Amazing, really just so great and one of my favorite tunes..

That I played in my dream with Greg and Karl . ☺

Beautiful,. Thanks guys. Much appreciated 👍

Wow....simply....WOW....awesome!!!!

best cover that I have ever heard- so true to the original!

Great job on the song . Amazing Long live elp

Mind blowing performance ! My respect for you, guys! Thanks for sharing your talent.

Bro just played the final boss of Keyboard Hero! You guys are amazing, Bravo!

Just incredible guys!!! Loved the little Red Mini Moog there also!

Outstanding! Keith, Greg and Carl would be MOST proud!!!

Spot on, perfect sounds, awesome, that's how it's done!

This is a great tribute to ELP, thanks for your efforts!

Insane! Thank you!

Nicely done. The Eruption arrangement during the credits screen is quite epic, too.

My favorite ELP song! Played extremely well.

BRAVO guys! I just retired as an Audio Mastering Engineer, which was but ONE of my many successful careers in my lifetime. Classically trained pianist (which allowed me to nail Emerson's riffs), MIT double masters later on, think-tank job to 'I-need-a-break-on-the-road-with-nine-keyboards-touring-rock-band' for three years, to high-tech consulting for $$$$$$, to adding on a solo MIDI performance act of 90's songs from Collective Soul to Dream Theater & Ministry with an 18,000 watt front end, MIDI controlled light show, MIDI controlled digital backing vocals (highly unique), to a 16 person start-up we grew to 300 people, to getting published and registering a patent, and 'technically' retiring at 48. Then, just running FOH live sound, recording artists, and advancing into mastering. HOWEVER...you have aggressively tracked, mixed, and mastered..plus added the digital video component is as professionally done as it gets. The MIX on this audio is OUTSTANDING, Antoine; and the digital editing is obviously pristine. I've done some amazing things in my lifetime, and am a HIGHLY accomplished keyboardist, but IMHO, (and it PAINS me to say this), you are better than I am since you also are killer on guitar, bass, AND mainly on drums. I DO NOT play drums ANYWHERE EVEN CLOSELY TO WHERE YOU RESIDE ON THEM, DUDE. You are definitely in a league of your own. Oh, the over-driven sound you guys got from Francis Gregoire's Hammond L-112A was spectacular, man! He's a pretty good keyboardist, and will get much better with time...we all do. Keep the awesome stuff coming dude; I'm a fan, and I don't pledge my allegiance easily. Two BIG THUMBS UP on THIS one!

Vous êtes mega impressionnants ! Génial !

Absolutely incredible

EXCELLENT, thanks for covering this song! congratulations

So cool! And the sound is just great!

Awesome … tight…thank you gentlemen…

Amazing ! Enjoy guys!

I was fortunate enough to see ELP play at Stanley Park Stadium in Toronto on Aug. 12 / 1971. So let's say I've been a fan for a while. Your rendition of Tarkus is very impressive. Surprised the heck out of me. 5 stars boys. And the mix is fantastic. Love the drum sound.

you all awesome guys

Haven't heard that piece in ages, thanks.

Excelent performance friends, one of my five essential progresive records

top job , took me back to my youth in a flash, brilliant x

Simply brilliant! Fantastic cover of a masterpiece and is indeed equally as good!!!

Wow, as always!

in the end (credits) there is a really beautifull thing

You really captured the spirit of the tune! Wonderful job.

Fantastic ... Thanks a lot !!!
