ELP - Way Off Topic

Int my last post entitled "Coincidence?", I compared the style of a portrait of keyboardist Keith Emerson (from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) to that of the famous portrait of Igor Stravinsky taken by Newman. That post can be read here. I received a few comments, both on this blog as well as on my Facebook photography page.

I had mentioned that since ELP was at their prime in the seventies, some readers might not be familiar with them. Even though it is off topic (hey, it's my blog), I thought that I would post a few YouTube links to ELP performing so that anyone that is not familiar with them might have a look (the sound quality isn't perfect given that the recordings were made in the 1970's):

Here they are performing an acoustic version of Lake's "Lucky Man" in concert in Japan:




And here playing a small portion of their amazing piece entitled "Tarkus", also in concert in Japan:




And finally, playing a portion of their rendition of Russian composer Mussorgsky's classic "Pictures At An Exhibition":




Enjoy!
