Karn Evil 9 - Band Geek Tribute to Keith Emerson 

pretty damn good! blond haired guy plays every freakin instrument and he good at all of them

Great stuff but I was waiting for someone’s mother to come down the stairs and yell, “Lunch is ready!”

I like how the keyboardist is also a drummer, the female singer (not shown here) is also a keyboardist, the drummer in this vid is also a guitarist, and the bass player is also a guitarist and vocalist of immense talent. You really have it together and are reproducing some of the great prog music with magnificent sound quality and musical acumen of the highest order. But I do wish you had done the entire Karn Evil 9. Maybe some day.

ELP ain't easy to cover!! Fantastic job guys!!!

This is by FAR your most impressive cover. The greatest drummer to ever live combined with the greatest rock keyboardist along with tough vocals from a guy who played both the guitar and bass and somehow you guys pulled this off perfectly.

I wish I had that dudes voice, he can sing anything.

So amazing!....Every band member is so excellent...and versatile!

These full band prog covers are incredible. The only thing higher quality than the entertainment is the musicianship. We are so lucky to have you chaps.

Amazing!!! Bravo guys! You nailed it even without enormous drumkit😉😍

I've seen imposters try to cover this with a 5 or 6 piece. You dudes killed it with the 3 piece and I mean killed it -- that Keith Emerson stuff on the solos where he modulates is very tough to transcribe (internally ) and get right. It was his own unique "outside" riffing and you guys nailed it note for note. Harder to do than a facsimile because of how hard what he did was. And you made it look effortless. Thank you.

Guys, I hope you read this... old dude drummer here... I used to play this song in a band in Toronto back in the early 80s. This is NOT an easy song to play. You guys FUCKING nailed it.

Probably about a year ago that I watched this video and freaked out over the awesomeness of Richie’s talent...... just re-watched.....still just amazing And this Sunday, will be seeing Richie playing guitar and singing with BLUE OYSTER CULT in annapolis, Md! This dude is incredible. Richie, can’t wait to see you!!!

I love how you guys kill every song you cover and have fun doing it! Love watching you!

Wow Greg Lake would be proud of the guitarist.

AWESOME !!!!!! Keep coming back to this one !!!

Lots of Energy here which is what ELP was all about. There's a reason why they were one of the all time great progressive rock bands and you guys definitely showed it here. Great talent in this video.

Holy Moly guys, Is there anything you CAN'T do? Fantastic switching between bass and guitar, Richie. Super drums and keys, as usual! Cheers from Canada, Rob

One of my favorite albums growing up. Wore out many an LP of that one, I did... Keith and Greg are no doubt smiling down on you! Thank you for doing this one...please do some more ELP!

Wow, you really nail the Greg Lake vocal sound but with your own flair! Great pipes!!

As usual, y'all knocked it outta that park! Then Ive come to expect nothing less than stellar out of Richie and the boys (and girls, and guests, and everyone else associated with this kick ass band!) - only one miss, there was a measure missed in in the latter part of the track but if you didn't know the score or the charts, you'd never know it. Fabulous job guys - ELP was one of the reasons I started playing drums when this album first debuted, Interesting point - My pa, a renowned musical director, composer, performer, and has his place in the Canadian Encyclopedia of Music and Museum of Music, first heard ELP when i started playing and emulating this and called them the future of jazz... He also collaborated with Robert Moog in the creation of the first synths (had the big 3 box of VCO, VCA, Waveform generators etc., and a kybd/ribbon) much like KE

Massively impressive. That’s talent, right there....

Someone commented they this is the best Yes cover band in history.. the problem is that this is the best Yes, ELP, Toto, and every other band in existence cover band in history... which actually makes it the best band. They are already the equal of the Wrecking Crew. If the put out original music they would kill it.

Geez, ELP didn’t even put this much effort into reproducing this live. Great job!

Amazing and well done indeed!! You guys should invite Rachel Flowers to play the Steinway Grand piano and do a full tribute to Keith. Thumbs up all the way!

just a delight to hear this played so magnificently.. you guys rule....🤩🤩🤩

Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic!! Band Geek always ROCK 👊 👊

Rest of the guys: "Hey, we don't have anyone to play guitar." Ritchie: "I have two hands, I'll do it."

Amazingly good! These guys never disappoint. And ELP Trilogy was my first album. I remember getting a turn table and that album for Christmas, 1973. I was 10.

Unbelievable ELP with just the 3 of you playing.

What else can be said? Amazing job guys...I closed my eyes and thought it was really ELP. Keep these tunes coming and hope to see Richie soon in BOC.

That was awesome!! Really enjoyed it!!

Nice job. I saw ELP about 70 times and never missed a tour. The 70's were a great time for music.

Stupendous!! My favorite ELP song and you guys nailed it. I will be checking out your other videos.

beautiful job on Karn Evil 9 it was very tight. you guys are great Richie

Very good. I saw ELP in 77 in St Louis. Original 4 piece Journey opened.

Great sound great talent enjoyed that well done.

Have always LOVED the guitar solo that Greg Lake played on this song... #ProgGOD

No better performance ever. Great job guys!

Great cover, the musician who plays Lake amazes me, playing bass and guitar at the same time. And I wonder how Greg did it? I never saw him play both instruments at the same time in concert. Congratulations

Just discovered you Band Geeks - absolutely awesome!

This was good. One of my favorite ELP song. Y'all did good. My favorite is Tarkus, play that.

Please do Pictures at an Exhibition, that would be fabulous, Greg Lakes voice was awesome so hats off to you for trashing his memory. You guys nailed it!

Wow, that was amazing! Thanks for performing PERFECTLY such an intricate piece, requiring immense coordination, and doing it live on cam!

Really good job, guys! ELP is one of my all time favorite...

late to the party again! you guys rock, that was really good, thank you...glad I found this!

At 2:10 is one of the most beautiful melodic guitar leads of all time. RIP Greg.

Fantabulous! You guys are amazing.👍👍

Just found your old vids! I bought this album when released(still have it). You guys never missed a beat! Sorry I didn't see it in 2016.

That was more than just "good," that was cleaner than ELP when they played live. Bravo!

That was freakin' awesome! Good job guys.

Nice job, guys! Used to listen to ELP when I was a little kid... compliments of my parents! Man, I love that stuff! You guys pretty much nailed it. Now, how about doing the full version of TARKUS? PLEASE! :-)

Awesome. The Geeks fucking kill everything. Oh man. Awesome -- precision on the tones of all the instruments, Never heard better covers.

You guys are out freaking standing!

WOW!!! Unbelievable..... first of all....anyone that could play what Keith Emerson plays is God like in my book. Because you don’t have a double neck.... you have 2 guitars hanging on you....amazing...I love it. I’ve watched tons of your videos, you guys are amazing and on a song like this....I’m blown away. Great job!!!

Oh my god another band I grew up with-in the 70,s and another fave album of mine which I know very very well and this is mind-blowing, and to think the drummer plays the keyboards the guitarist plays the drums I,m stunned, and that keyboard player omg he's incredible, to emulate Keith Emerson who was a wizard and maestro on the keys is mind-blowing, the whole song was PERFECT you guys are insanely good, I am so glad I found you. .... I am now lost for words.... I need a lie-down lol

Love you guys are awesome so much talent

Frickin great ! A little help from my friends and took me there . Elp a true fav. Thank u all.

Just fantastic guys!

Absolutely incredible ❤

Desde Mendoza Argentina un fuerte aplauso de pie, con zapateo y aullidos. Tengo el vinílico original. Band Geek muestra doble proeza: la de ELP al componer e interpretar a esas alturas y estos ángeles al replicar con tanto amor. Que Dios los bendiga.

Excellent - I look forward to some of the tricky Gentle Giant material

Made me smile gents. This song was formative for me and pals in high school years. You did a really great job !!! Thanks for the smile

Brilliant pure Brilliant ,Thank you .

Freaking NAILED IT! Way to go!

SENSACIONAL . VOCÊS SÃO BONS PRA CARAMBA. PARABÉNS AMIGOS.

Never Have I ever seen 3 guys that were as versatile as you guys !!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant.

Andy, top drumming you nailed it .

Absolutely amazing!!!!!

Oh well done! *Clap Clap Clap* That is one of the most difficult songs I could image and you guys pulled it off just so sweet. Love it...

F **** Awesome !!! Cheers from Rio de Janeiro !!

Have not seen such a muti-talented band since the Little Rascals and The International Silver String Submarine Band! And they are arguably one of the best bands of all time!!

I loved how the keyboardist played the air cowbell at 3:15

Great tones Great tune!!!!

WOW! the 3 of you killed it!

Unparalleled!!!!! I could watch many times.

1. Eternitys breath- Mahavishnu orchestra orchestra 2. Gates of Delirium- Yes 3. Awaken - Yes. Do these and you guys should set up a go fund me!

my fav band

You guys never cease to amaze me! Well done!

Andy ascolese è mostruoso!!!!

WOW WOW and WOW!!! You're great! I've heard other good ELP tribute bands but you've got a great singer too!!! BRAVI!!!!

Really nice to hear you again, guys. Amazing tribute to a true legend.

Genial Geniales un placer escuchar músicos tan serios y profesionales. Homenaje perfecto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done. Great work.

Mr Richie Castellano, you're the man! great job

Amazing ! Richie Guitar,Bass and great vocals.

Great job...blessings

DAMN fine work guys!

Excellent Bravo

That was pure bad-assery.

Spot on...please do more ELP

IMMENSI SIETE IL TOP!!!!!!!

The vocals! So very very good. Thank you.

Just great keyboard work by Andy. I don't say that much about an ELP cover.

That was simply awesome! Not an easy piece to play for sure. Too bad they don't take groups on the musical talent shows. You guys would win for sure!

nice to finally hear that G# at the end. in the original, i keith was just a hair away from hitting it at the end of the glide lol

Hi Guys. Awesome session. Just in case you wondered whether anyone had noticed, really appreciated the detail of the guitar lead panning from left to right in the mix! Kudos

Bravo good job two thumbs 👍 up.
