Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy (Official Audio)

Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.

Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.

The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer was one of the best progressive rock bands that came from the UK. Keith Emerson is one of the greatest keyboard players of our time. What a musical genius! RIP Keith and Greg. You left us with such beautiful and unforgettable music which will be listened for years to come.

I was 16 when this came out. Blew me away. Never heard anything like it up to that point. And never heard anything like it since. Still listen to it half a century, yes half a century later.

This song is just beautiful in its opening section, some great vocals and piano there. Then when it all changes, just wow, it is ahead of its time.

As an early teen, just moved to NY ( against my will } I found a litttle FM station, the iconic WNEW .... Tuned in at 10 pm for Allison Steel (the night bird ), she played this whole, new LP ... Set me on a path to lifelong bliss and balance ....Been there, seen it all ...100's of shows .... " We have heaven " Jon Anderson - YES

This song still blows my mind. Most gorgeous intro and then goes ever so slowly into the middle uptempo section, then the acrobatic final section. A trilogy in more ways than one. Still my favorite ELP album. I can only imagine teenagers and adults hearing this in 1972 and being floored. I was only two then, so can't vouch for them. The 2nd section is like Moog/synth techno nearly 20 years ahead of time.

This has been my favorite ELP song for about 10 years. The transition from the beautiful piano to insanely good synthetic is truly musical creativity at its peak. And From The Beginning is my favorite chill song by ELP.

Ah to be 15 again and listen to this for the first Bliss

[ЭллинаСмирнова-ек]

Утро, под волшебную музыку, уже прекрасно, несмотря ни на что!

[MsLamotta]

I loved ELP!! I hv all their albums!!! They were all good. Pictures at an Exhibition is unbelievable.

I was so upset when Greg Lake died! That man had one of the best voices of our generation!!! Very few come along in a life time. That man was blessed. And we were blessed to hear him.

Go listen to FATHER CHRISTMAS!!! He has the vice of an angel!!

[WarhawkBeyond]

The best song of the entire Trilogy album

[BetamaxFlippy]

This is where ELP peaked artistically.

Come puoi definirli se non straordinari questo trio leggendario per sempre emerson lak and palmer

[robgibbsofficial]

Awesome - I've not heard this track for many years! I was lucky enough to see ELP live at the Empire Pool Wembley in the early 70's. Just incredible and that sound live was so memorable

[alexchristopher]

I was in high school when this LP came out and a big fan of ELP. The moog solo in this number still sends me light years away.

[anshelebudman]

Every time I hear this again, the wonder, amazement, and awe are just as fresh as my first listen. Absolutely breathtaking.

[andrewcorbett]

Emerson lives on in his exquisite music. God bless
