It's still tragic to me, because even though Crimson gained a phenomenal drummer, they always lacked in the vocal department without Lake. ELP has never been worth the power in vocals Lake brought to KC on their first two albums, and could've brought to the proceeding albums.

He wasn't talking about what was better for you. He was talking about what was better for Bill. Both bands could compose, but KC decided to do more than that - improvise, and that was right up Bill's alley.


Tongue yeah yeah so can Yes, Sound Chaser and The Ancient obliterate any of KC's  work Cool


Just kidding they don't.
Cool


Thumbs Up  Tongue

I'm gonna have to see some evidence of that.

On a more relevant note: as Austin (Horizons) was saying (and I'll back him up again), the KC niche was a better place for Bill. In "Prog Rock Britannia" he admitted that he probably should have kickstarted his career as a jazz drummer, not as a rock drummer, ... which is also the reason why he put up with KC a long time ago and just stuck with jazz. Whatever serves him right.

I have a Latin cookbook with a recipe for larks' tongues (It begins "Catch 1000 larks. Remove tongues. Discard larks.") so I always assumed it was an ancient Roman dish.

Witch's concoction? That's a legitimate meal!

I went through a phase last year where I made a bunch of aspics, but alas I was unable to procure any larks' tongues.
Really Shocked ???  I know cat food (cat food cat food AGAIN !!) has pilchards in aspic but I never thought that Larks' Tongues would be a delicacy........sounds like something straight out of a black-magic cookbook.......

Yes we are talking about how Yes actually do good improves listen to 5 per cent for Nothing, Cans and Brahms,Sound Chaser, and The Ancient just like you had a reason to be a smaller man it all makes sense to me Tongue


Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Cans n' Brahms was improv. Also, you are entitled to limeYes more than KC but, I don't think there's any denying that KC was far superior to Yes in the realm of improv.
