Emerson, Lake and Palmer perform their Jazz-rock interpretation of Copland's piece at Olympic Stadium, Montréal, winter 1977.

 ”I saw that tour in Chicago.”

Same here. Got turned on to them by my college roommate who was nationally rated as a classical organist. He had access to the campus pipe organ 24/7, a monster with almost 6000 pipes. Several evenings I got a private recital of ELP while kicked back with a six pack and a smoke.

Tarkus was one of my favorites.

Saw them in Toledo at the Masonic Hall. My favorite was their very own Pirates. Great instrumentals and I always loved the swash buckling theme.

Same here, I pull it up on youtube every now and then.

I saw ELP open for Yes what seems like yesterday... in the mid to late 90s...

Very nice. I assume the Expos were on the road.

Given their attendance figures, can you be so sure?

Given the coats and the frosty breath, it was probably outside of the baseball season.

[To Hell With Poverty]

BURRRRR! No way my fingers could ever move like that in the cold, and it looks COLD in that video!

One of my all time favorite Aaron Copland compositions.

Very nice to see an older video of REAL musicians, without any of this new-improved-junky auto-tune voice, no females shaking their overfed whatsits, no rapping supoosed-to-be-cowboy music!

These were musicians of a different caliber.

Thanks much!!
