This blind girl nailed Tarkus. She got to play on Emerson’s equipment:

My first time hearing this piece. Echoes of Sam Barber and Gershwin but nothing truly memorable melodically. Quite a mish mash of style and instruments.

They were awesome live...flawless as a matter of fact. They never “fluffed” anything...no mistakes, or wrong notes or anything. I was just blown away by them. All three were great, but I really was impressed by Emerson especially. I loved the classical side of prog rock.
Rachel Flowers, yes, she’s quite a talent. I like her Tony Banks covers as well.
Yes they were. Saw them in Spokane during their Brain Salad Surgery tour. Amazing, the music those three performed.
Kinks Sleepwalker tour was my favorite. From your concert list, I am about a decade behind you.
“Love your music links,they remind me of my album collection from the 60 through the 80’s and beyond.”
Thanks for the compliment. FWIW, the posts with this music are meant more for the nostalgia and the memories they sometimes provoke, rather than any pretensions about what is supposed to be the greatest or lesser music or artists.
It was after midnight when we were driving southwards through Mississippi on our way to New Orleans in 1971, a bright full moon had just risen above the trees alongside the highway, when we heard the car radio play the Joan Baez cover of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down recorded earlier by The Band in 1969. It was the first time any of us heard Joan Baez sing this tune. Along the way we stopped at an all night greasy spoon restaurant to relax and drink sodas and coffee. The waitress who came to serve us was all strangely pink skinned, overweight, and costumed in starched white waitress uniform. She approached out table with a scowl, and with much ceremony proceeded to slam the water glasses onto the table in a way calculated to spill the water all over the tabletop. Getting the message we young people were not welcome there, we laughed and got back on the road with some very unusual memories with more to come.
Later on the way back from New Orleans, a bunch of about eight Louisiana State police officers standing in front of their lined up police cars parked in a gasoline station stood by and watched with amusement as the gas station attendant deliberately and a smirk on his face and glances over to the police officers overfilled the gas tank and ran the gasoline in a stream downhill and across the asphalt into a ditch....

They opened the show with that one.
Thanks!
My current travel playlist includes blues (Chicago, delta and blue eyed), 50s Rock and roll, rock (from 67 on), country, swing, Texas swing, R&B. (No modern Jazz..... Sometime in the late 40s early 50s Jazz lost its way) Some of the music goes back to the late 30s. None goes past 1980. All good.
That’s one of the few songs on my iPhone. I don’t really like the end, but the beginning and middle is incredible.

I will listen to, ‘From The Beginning’ a dozen times in a row! :)
ELP BUMP! :)
Thanks. Just gave it a listen. Not bad. Very “spacey”, like Pink Floyd or some Moody Blues tunes.
Speaking of “spacey”, check out this video someone made to go along with the song. I suggest viewing in full screen mode.
