    Default Emerson Lake and Palmer

    I was at a huge record sale the other week and was able to find their debut album and Trilogy, which led me to make this thread. Such an incredible band. I wish I had the chance to see them live. Amazing talent. Such a shame what happened to Keith. He was a lucky man.

    Anyone ever see them live?






    Sends shivers down my spine:

    Both of the albums you mention above were my favorite ELP releases.
    I wore the grooves out of the original vinyl copies.

    I also think (most) of "Welcome Back My Friends..............." is one of the best live performances from the 70s.

    Not too much but it's pretty hard to find. The copy I bought was the only one I've ever seen in person. You can probably get one for around 5-10$

    Picked up a nice copy of Works volume 1 today. I didn't know it was a trifold. The cover needs a cleaning though.
