Emerson, Lake & Palmer : 'Fanfare For The Common Man' (1977) • Official Music Video • HQ Audio

• Official Music Video • Single Version • HQ Audio • Standard Volume Level

Filmed at the Montreal Olympic Stadium.

I was unable to find any upload online which features the official video for the single version of this piece, which is an edited extract from the album track, which is almost 10 minutes long, so I created this video from a video of the full-length piece. The official video for the single version was shown on Top of the Pops, 28 July 1977, but no upload of it is currently able to be found anywhere online, which seems very odd considering that the single was a huge hit, reaching number 2 in the UK.

That was the best-quality upload featuring this performance that I could find online. I have replaced the audio track with a high-quality one of the single, and this involved doing some editing to the footage. You might assume that the beginning of the single is the beginning of the piece, but the single actually skips the first 27 seconds. The single also cuts out another 15 seconds of music, so I have removed that 15 seconds of footage, and that cut occurs at the 0:31 time-point in my video. The source video had the volume level set too low compared to the majority of music videos, so I have fixed that. I have also upscaled the resolution from 480p to 1080p, as this increases the bitrate, which slightly improves picture quality at all the different resolution settings the viewer can select, but please be aware that playing it at the 1080p setting is not going to make it look as good as a true 1080p video.

This piece was composed by Aaron Copland. This track was arranged by Keith Emerson and produced by Greg Lake, and was released in 1977. According to Wikipedia, this single reached No. 2 in their native UK, and No. 5 in Australia, and did not chart in the USA, Canada, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands or Japan. No other territories are mentioned.
