Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Formed, 1970 in Bournemouth, Dorset, England
Disbanded, Dec 1978
Emerson, Lake & Palmer were progressive rock's first supergroup.
Greeted by the rock press and the public as something akin to conquering heroes,
they succeeded in broadening the audience for progressive rock
from hundreds of thousands into tens of millions of listeners,
creating a major radio phenomenon as well.
Their flamboyance on record and in the studio echoed the best work of the heavy metal bands of the era,
proving that classical rockers could compete for that arena-scale audience.
Over and above their own commercial success,
the trio also paved the way for the success of such bands as Yes,
who would become their chief rivals for much of the 1970s.
Keyboardist Keith Emerson planted the seeds of the group in late 1969
when his band the Nice shared a bill at the Fillmore West with King Crimson,
an up-and-coming band that featured lead singer and bassist Greg Lake.
Emerson and Lake first discussed the possibility of collaborating at that point,
but only after the Crimson lineup began disintegrating during their first U.S. tour
did he finally opt to leave the group (after agreeing to sing on the forthcoming Crimson album).
Upon officially teaming in 1970, Emerson and Lake auditioned several drummers,
including Mitch Mitchell, before they approached Carl Palmer,
a former member of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown
who later hooked up with bandmate Vincent Crane in an experimental band called Atomic Rooster.
The trio's first rehearsals mostly picked up from the Nice's and King Crimson's repertoires,
including such well-known numbers as "Rondo" and "21st Century Schizoid Man."
They explored their capabilities to an extreme, even with the technology limitations of the early 70's, breaking ground, setting the new parameters for a new vein in the english pop music (at the time) which would be called progressive music.
ELP released 10 outstanding albums during the 70's,
and after a long break, they got back in the 90's with a new approach,
but still making good music.
In 1986 Cozy POWELL replaced PALMER
and they put together EMERSON, LAKE and POWELL, a good effort as well.

E.L.P adalah salah satu Supergroup Prog-Rock pada masa awal musik ini.
Dibentuk oleh Keith Emerson (Keyboard), Greg Lake (Bass, Vocal) & Carl Palmer (Drums).
Awal pertemuan terjadi saat Band Keith Emerson -NICE sedang berada di Filmore West
(salah satu gedung konser di California)
bersama King Crimson (Greg Lake adalah membernya).
Mereka berdiskusi mengenai kemungkinan kerjasama antara keduanya,
namun itu baru terjadi setelah King Crimson mulai pecah pada saat tour di Amerika.
Pada 1970, Emerson & Lake meng-audisi beberapa Drummer, termasuk Mitch Mitchel (Jimi hendrix Experience),
sebelum akhirnya bertemu Carl Palmer (Crazy World, Atomic Rooster).
Latihan pertama mereka, membawakan lagu-lagu Nice & King Crimson,
diantaranya "Rondo" dan "21st Century Schizoid Man"'
Mereka mengexplorasi kemampuan masing-masing sampai titik extrem,
bahkan dengan keterbatasan teknologi saat itu (awal 70-an),
mereka memainkan musik baru yang nantinya disebut Progressive Music.
ELP me-release 10 album selama dekade 70-an, dan setelah cuti panjang,
mereka kembali tahun 90-an, dengan warna baru yang tetap indah.
Pada 1986, Carl Palmer digantikan oleh Cozy Powell,
mereka menjadi Emerson, Lake and Powell.
coba inget lagu ini ...
- From The Beginning (lake) -
there might have been things i missed
but don't be unkind
it don't mean i'm blind
perhaps there's a thing or two
i think of lying in bed
i shouldn't have said
but there it is
you see it's all clear
you were meant to be here
from the beginning
maybe i might have changed
and not been so cruel
not been such a fool
whatever was done is done
i just can't recall
it doesn't matter at all
you see it's all clear
you were meant to be here
from the beginning
atao yang ini ...
- C'Est La Vie [Lake / Sinfield] -
C'est la vie
Have your leaves all turned to brown
Will you scatter them around you
C'est la vie.
Do you love
And then how am I to know
If you don't let your love show for me
C'est la vie.
(Chorus) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.
In the night
Do you light a lover's fire
Do the ashes of desire for you remain.
Like the sea
There's a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love flowed for you
C'est la vie
(Chorus) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.
Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you
C'est la vie.
Do you give
Do you live from day to day
Is there no song I can play for you
C'est la vie.
(Chorus) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.
kalo yang ini inget gak ?
- Still.. You turn Me on (Lake) -
Do you want to be an angel,
Do you wanna be an angel
Do you wanna be a star
Do you wanna play some magic
On my guitar
Do you wanna be a poet
Do you wanna be my string
You could be anything
Do you wanna be the lover of another undercover
You could even be the
Man on the moon
Do you wanna be the player
Do you wanna be the string
Let me tell you something
It just don't mean a thing
You see it really doesn't matter
When you're buried in disguise
By the dark glass on your eyes
Though your flesh has crystallised
Still...you turn me on
Do you wanna be the pillow
Where I lay my head
Do you wanna be the feathers
Lying on my bed
Do you wanna be the cover
Of a magazine
Create a scene
Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder
Do you wanna be the singer
Do you wanna be the song
Let me tell you something
You just couldn't be more wrong
You see I really have to tell you
That it all gets so intense
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still...you turn me on
Sure you remember this one!
- Lucky Man [Lake] -
He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
focusing mostly on key early material.
Fourteen tracks isn't skimpy in the ELP context;
"Tarkus" is represented, for instance, in all of its 20-minute glory.
The set also includes the original single version of "I Believe in Father Christmas."
