and they later had a couple of armadilloes. hmmm  not very rock and roll for sure. but no worse than inflatable dinasuars. oh they used an orchestra! em.. Metallica any one ?
 
all in all i don't see why Pink floyd get lauded for doing  even more ott stuff and producing arguably lesser works.
 
 it's enough to make you go off in a big sulk !
 
hrmph! 
 
( and aleast no one dressed as a big bloody daisy!)
 
I think its because ELP wasnt as mainstream as The Who or Floyd, so it was looked down upon more because they were already pretty different from the mainstream stuff, even though from what I understand, prog rock was pretty mainstream in the 70's.

I think that could also apply to ELP as well.
 
And thanks for the spinning piano vid. ClapClapClap

As I've mentioned before on this site, back in the day Emerson did more to get us keyboard players noticed during AND laid after a gig than anyone else in the history of rock, possibly excepting Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis, but I'll leave their contributions to your imaginations.  Suddenly keyboard players were desireable in a way that had been previously reserved for ANY other instrument, maybe excluding cellos or something.  But the spinning piano was the end of the line for me.

You're welcome. Tongue

Man, I wonder how they did that....I can't imagine going to an ELP concert, and during KE 9: 3rd Impression, seeing the keyboardist spinning around like a machine. O_O

That must have been almost as awesome as a Genesis concert with Peter Gabriel.

it actualy sound like it was basicly a bunch of guys behind the curtain, spinning him around with a big handle
 
They tried it later with a bigger piano with fireworks coming out of it , and went so fast, he started panicing but then it stopped suddenly and Emo smashed his face of the piano!
 
Poor soul  - all those years on a motorbike without a helmet - and it turns out he needed one to play the piano!

I never knew they tried it again.

But I'm not sure what Keith was playing, as I cant quite tell. It doesnt really sound like KE:9 to me, but then again, I havent listened to the 3rd Impression in awhile.

When I saw the spinning piano, I think he was playing Take A Pebble, but it's been 35 years or so.  My memory of the concert is probably impaired, though it was definitely the Brain Salad Surgery tour as I also remember the wall-o'-synth sprouting wings at the end.

All I know is it was from the California Jam, as I have part of it on DVD from an ELP dvd set. I think he also comes down off the piano and goes into The Great Gates of Kiev, but I'm sure they werent playing Pictures.

yeah they had these wings come out form behind the modular moog - it looks like those big wings the beastie had in the film 'Jeepers Creepers!'

I have that 'from the beginning DVD' - it's absolute gold. there is even footage of them writing and rehearsing for the BSS album.

I was to young to go to their concerts in the 70's, being only a 8 or 9 - just a bairn! Still, I'm catching up. Hopefully going to get the Montreux one and the Royal Albert hall one as well. Good reviews on Amazon!

Emo has played a big part of the sound I'm trying to capture with my band these days. it's a sort of Rick Emerson thing - or perhaps a Keith Wakeman? who knows? who cares!!!!! I'm having fun and spelling correctly for a change! (it won't last!)

The Montreux dvd is ok. Its a tie for me with the Royal Albert Hall one. I mean they are both good, but not as good as the stuff from the 70's.

Yep, the modular Moog would rotate 45 degrees to face the audience, and then it sprouted huge metallic wings.  All the while it was playing the little sequence that ends the Brain Salad Surgery album, which got louder and louder, faster and faster, until it ended.

And didnt they go directly into The Great Gates of Kiev from there? Or am I imagining it?
