Just found your fantastic video discovering ELP’s Take A Pebble. I appreciate you loving this so much. I mean look… this music was created and played 54 years ago. This must just blow your mind. Before you were ever conceived. Even in ‘70 when I LOVED ELP, I thought this cannot be possible that only 3 musicians created this magical musical landscape… all without digital. Just shear talent with no wizardry. Thank you for appreciating our generation and the music that came out of it. Cheers Mary, now 72… yikes! Those years go by fast!

Keith Emerson in my humble opinion is one of the best keyboardists ever In the history of any music genre... When he lost the use of his hands he lost his will to live God rest your soul Keith

@chrisharrison9575 3 года назад

The beginning section that sounds like harp or strings is piano. Emerson has an open grand piano, he stands up, reacts inside, and rakes his fingers across the piano strings. Vocals, bass, acoustic and electric guitars are all Greg Lake. One of the best prog song's of all time.

@michelemichele3375 3 года назад

David Sancious did a similar thing with a pick across the piano strings in the opening chords on Springsteen’s “New York City Serenade.” (Three years after this recording. I saw it as a nod.) ✨🤪

When I was 14 and listened to this song the firsr time I wondered how Keith did that sound. When I saw the live version I saw him doing that on the strings of the Steinway grand piano. It was amazing. ELP is one of the greatest prog bands ever.

@JohnBrooking4 3 года назад

To get the chords you want, you first silently press the keys of that chord with one hand, then slide the fingernails of your other hand across the strings. You’ll get the zither sound from all the strings, but only the strings from the keys you are holding down keep ringing.

@ghanus2009 2 года назад

Here's a tidbit from WIKI. I was going to write a comment about how he hand=strums the piano keys, but this author says it best: "The song starts as a soft ballad. On the original recording it begins with Keith Emerson holding down voicing on the piano keys (without having the hammers strike the notes) while strumming the grand piano strings with a plectrum, as Greg Lake enters on electric bass guitar, and Carl Palmer on subtle percussion." Its a masterful piece of music.

@dannyriccardo-kornpet4599 3 года назад

Keith Emerson was mostly self taught. He had lessons from a neighborhood teacher -- no conservatory for Mr. Emerson. But he had a great nose for what and where to study. His unorthodox methods have produced results that speak for themselves. You'll find prog bands that sound like Yes, or Genesis, or Pink Floyd. You won't find another band that sounds like ELP. For my money, they are the most original -- and most overlooked -- band ever. And if I'm doing the picking, they're the greatest band ever. And you guys -- bless your hearts -- are doing more than your part to honor the ELP legacy. Prog on.

Over 45 years ago a young girl walked up to me and said - Has anyone ever told you that you look like Keith Emerson ? I replied - Who's Keith Emerson ? I was a Led Zeppelin fan and although had heard of ELP I did not know their names or have their records. I got a - "What ! ! ! ? You've never heard of him" ? Lol - I was wearing a leather fur lined jacket and had shoulder length hair. She became my girlfriend and first love. This song reminds me of her. She had posters of him on her wall and it was the spitting image of me including the jacket. We got engaged, but in the end I got my heart broke, but never will forget her. I never married. Greg Lakes vocals are wonderful. So many memories - like ripples. Music has this extraordinary way of becoming a time machine. Love this track, still. Thankyou for such a great reaction to a very special song.

This album came out in the fall of 1970 when I was in 11th grade. One of the then brand new progressive rock stations played "The Barbarian" and I was blown away. Soon the pop and rock stations were playing "Lucky Man" and I ran out to buy the album. Regardless, "Take a Pebble" right away became my favorite track. Fifty One years later I'm still playing this song and feeling that sense of wonder every time. It is indeed a masterpiece.

My favorite part of the song is when the theme consists entirely of piano and bass guitar with the light snare behind it. Lake's bass work on that section is just fantastic! Very comparable to ELP's early work is that of King Crimson - I am sure you two would absolutely love Court of the Crimson King - the entire album.

@r2x262 4 месяца назад

For those that didn't know or never saw them perform live... The beginning of the song is played on the strings of the piano. I saw them in three separate concerts and each time I was amazed not only at all three members musicianship but the different ways Keith approached playing keyboards. He would wrestle his Hammond B3 to the ground... The piano would raise above the ground and Go around in circles as he sat in it.... But also how he took Bob Moogs invention of the synthesizer and took it to a whole other level. Keith was a pioneer and inspiration and I loved him so much. Sadly gone so soon. And then Greg lake let us the next year. Call Palmer one of the best drummers ever hands down. If you haven't already listen to the Tarkus album from beginning to end and also Trilogy. You will not be disappointed

My two best friends and I pooled our money and bought this album, two bottles of wine and a joint. 😅We went to another friend's house.. . who was a couple years older than us and who had his own apartment. We listened to this album at least twice. The feeling I had then, I just relived while listening to it again with you. And lex honey, you're right about the 70s !!!! It was a great time. 😍🤩🤗🧡💛🧡💛

In the '70s I had the priviledge of going to one of their concerts. Absolutely amazing. I can still see that huge gong behind Carl Palmer! I don't recall hearing this (until it got to the ending), but this song is a revelation to hear. Thanks for bringing it forward. Love that your folks dig this music and you are sharing it (and GENESIS) with them. It is never too late to discover great music.

The whole record was based on Bartok's Microcosmos, and his musical world. Some of it also the ancient Hungarian music with the typical pentatonic scale, found mostly in Hungarian and Lapp/Samic music from northern Scandinavia. Bartok was a pre-jazz compositor, the "progressive" of the classic music. No one, absolutely no one could touch this music and compose his own based on it but ELP. Only ELP! Astonishing, next to none! There will never be geniuses as Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer. Not at the same time the same place. Never, ever.

Keith used to be the consummate showman. At one point taking a whole grand piano flying it up and revolving the whole thing! Sticking knives in a keyboard to hold chords. Playing the keyboard upside down …. But a great player equally at home playing classical or jazz - liberally scattering bits of Bach and other classical composers. A great reader of scores too once treating a music student who had been practicing a complex piece for months to an impromptu masterclass - the student had no idea who this guy was who had strolled in, taken a look, and played it. That night he meets his pals who are going to see ELP - Tells them what happened. They tell him he has just had a masterclass from Keith Emerson. Sure enough he goes to the concert and is blown away by these amazing musicians. Truly they were an early example of a supergroup. Keith had THE NICE and had at one point asked Hendrix to join - who declined! THE NUCE we’re great not so hot vocally but Keith wrote a classical/rock piece as a hymn to his native Newcastle - the 5 BRIDGES SUITE - which is worth a listen.Greg Lake was in the original lineup of KING CRIMSON - still the best configuration of KC in my view. Carl Palmer from the wonderful ATOMIC ROOSTER. They were musicians of the highest order. When Keith committed suicide Rick Wakeman did a wonderful tribute to him along with Rachel Flowers - Keith’s blind young protege who is amazing in her own right. Keith was mischievous often messing with time signatures to keep his band mates on their toes. Check out their rendering of PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION recorded live!

You have to understand the scope of the wealth we had in music in that era. Turn over any rock, and there's yet another band. My taste hasn't changed at all, and the great thing with outlets like youtube I'm able to go back to bands I may have liked but never really delved into, and just be in more discovery like you are, or go deep into any beloved group. I hope that not just the largess starts to sink in, but the underlying vibe of love/consciousness/truth etc... It was truly a blessed time.

@ndtdutysaa5352 Год назад

These guys need to be inducted into the rock & roll Hall of Fame--it's a crime that they haven't been. Not only were they one of the biggest acts in the 70s who sold--I think-- 50 million albums, but they were true pioneers in, not only prog rock, but rock music in general. Keith Emerson, particularly, inspired countless keyboard players--transforming what had always been a solitary piece of on-stage furniture into multiple sexy instruments. He was also the first to use a Moog live, despite Bob Moog's doubts about the "roadabilty" of the instrument. Along with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer, ELP played a significant role in the development of modern music. I had the good fortune to see them when they were all at the top of their game in 1974. I hadn't seen anything like it before or since. Just scary talented. Hopefully whoever makes these decisions will come to their senses soon.

In 1971, I saw them at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They were opening for Procol Harem. Dave had managed to get a seat in the 2nd row. Suzi and I were back in the 7th. The roadies made some final checks, flicked a switch and the place went black. Among the rustling of the confused audience, I started to feel a slight subsonic rumbling that was growing louder with increasing speed, until a sudden crescendo and flooding of light revealed the band on stage diving into their new album (armadillo tank on the cover). Dave came running, demanding that we squeeze him some space. He needed people to grab, and strangers wouldn't do! From then on, ELP just took over, completely. It was actually lucky that Harum's Leslie broke down. Their classic fare wouldn't have cut the mustard. So, after a short conference, stage right, they came back out and lit into Salty Dog, their new, unreleased album. The unfettered rock and roll saved their day.

I've seen them live maybe 10 times and they were just as amazing live. I once saw them in Providence RI one night and followed their trailers to Cape Cod MA to see them the next night. Keith is a virtuoso on piano, Carl Palmer is simply phenomenal, he was Neil Peart before Neil, but that's my opinion. If you ever get a chance, look for Carl Palmers snare drum demonstration on RU-vid, he's amazing. Greg Lake has one of the best voices and very underrated bass & guitar player. They were the first band that I ever heard with a quadraphonic concert, stacks in four corners of the area, the end of Brain Salad Surgery I thought the building was blowing up.

A true story. Saw them in concert in ‘73, didn’t know much about them but SHE really wanted to go. Let’s assume all the real fans had prepped for the show and were properly wasted. At least that was true for the guy sitting in front of us. After every song he’d yell, “TAKE A PEBBLE!” He finally passed out. and they played the song.

Such joy. In the song, in your reaction to the song. Thanks.

I love the way the jazz gang ignore this jazz masterpiece

@GCKelloch 4 месяца назад

"the jazz gang"? It's a great song, but not really jazz. The improvisation section is not over a melodic chord sequence, as is typical of traditional jazz. It might be compared to a Bach invention. Emerson's improvisations were more classically-based with strong blues and honky tonk influences, but not much "outside" harmonic experimentation-- as you'd hear with someone like Thelonious monk, but I love his playing.

@annmarieholland4242 Год назад

I saw this in concert in Boston. Spell binding!! Emerson the pianist!!

@debrabrabenec3731 3 года назад

The logical follow up would be for you to do "Ripples" from Genesis The Trick of the Tail!

So much ELP excellence to experience yet.

@Parklife13 3 года назад

Another great reaction. Can I heartily recommend the song “Trilogy”. I think you’d like that one too.

@susanbears3606 Год назад

Play “Still You Turn Me On “by ELP!!! GREG Lake’s voice is Heaven incarnate!!!!!

@davshaw5 3 года назад

“C’est La Vie” has to be the next one, absolutely beautiful piece by ELP…..

Eddie Offord had an interesting year in 1971, producing the first album by ELP, and The Yes Album. That quiet part with water sounds would give Mr. Offord some experience in producing the next Yes album, Close To The Edge.

@rudolfbecker4313 3 года назад

Eddie Offord was the engineer for ELP, but Greg Lake produced, all 3 arranged and directed

@bobholtzmann 3 года назад

@@rudolfbecker4313 - good catch. I was going to add that Eddie Offord might have borrowed the tape of water drops for "Close To The Edge"'s quiet interlude. There's a strong similarity to "Pebble"'s water drops there.

only if Eddie went back in time... Pebble came two years before CTTE

Amazing piano from one of the best. Try Tarkus next, that whole suite is Prog at its best. Nice reaction, can't wait to see your faces when you give UFO another chance, they will amaze you once again. Rock Bottom is epic off Strangers in the Night Live. Rock On! 😎

@caseyjones745 Год назад

you hang on to and enjoy each note! It is a pleasure listening to this great music "with you".

@garyspillett7103 3 года назад

Take a Pebble is my favourite ELP piece.. hauntingly beautiful with a great vocal from Greg and wonderful contributions from all three.Oh how I loved the 70s progrock

@quentinmichel7581 Год назад

Since you guys seem to appreciate the jazz influences in ELP's music, you really will probably be blown away by a slightly more obscure piece of theirs," When The Apple Blossoms Bloom in the Windmills of Your Mind, I'll Be Your Valentine ". Very overt display of the influence - as only ELP could do it. Trust me. 😁

@michaelbochnia5686 3 года назад

From their first album, do try The Barbarian, you will see why. Cheers! oh, and you might want to branch out to trying the albums Trilogy or Brain Salad Surgery. The song Trilogy would be right up your alley.

@debrabrabenec3731 3 года назад

We had this album when it came out. I was about 14 and played the piano. We didn't have a grand piano, just a spinet, but I would lift up the music shelf to reveal the strings underneath, step on the sustain pedal and strum and pick out the notes from the beginning of this tune. I would sound just like the record!

@GreatScott203 2 года назад

During their earlier concerts when they did this track, the guitar solo section would usually have Emerson and Palmer leave the stage to chill for a bit, while Lake would extend it by inserting Lucky Man, C'est La Vie, From the Beginning, or whatever ballads he had at the time of the concert, before going back to finish the song with the rest.

You folks' expressions are a pleasure to watch and great to know the music of my youth is still being explored and enjoyed today =o)

@oldmanghost219 3 года назад

"Karn Evil Nine" Welcome my friends to the 1st impression. 2nd impression very impressive instrumental. 3rd impression iconic. All three great musicians and Emerson the GOAT on keyboards. My all time favorite Keyboardist.

@dennispope1355 3 года назад

I bet this made a lot of fans happy. Me included. This is such a lovely piece. I can't imagine a lover of progressive rock hearing this without feeling transported to a lovelier place. One of my favorites. Thanks you guys. That was fun. I still hope you try something from the 2nd or 3rd albums by Triumvirat. They sound quite similar to ELP. Enjoy!

@rudolfbecker4313 3 года назад

I recommend the songs The capital of power or the March to the eternal city of the album Spartacus

@chrisbanks5925 2 года назад

Nice reaction - you MUST do 'Pictures at an Exhibition' - you will LOVE it.

@kevinmalone2218 Год назад

I was supposed to see ELP in 1977 but I was sick. My brother sold my tickets. They have been on my bucket list. Then last summer I was able to see Karl Palmer's Legacy tour. Great show but sad that Keith and Greg are no longer with us.

@johnmiller2348 2 года назад

You have to listen to ELP live at Califonia Jam 1974. React to Karn Evilk Nine and Carl Palmer's unmatched drum solo from that concert.

@williamthompson2128 3 года назад

I think Emerson strummed the piano strings on the intro of C'est La Vie also, too...it's was fun to see him do this in concert...he was a great showman...
