Listening to Tarkus right now! Thank you!
Never owned this album when I was younger but I always loved "Welcome Back My Friends" which is basically Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery LIVE!
ELP are such a tragic story in many ways.
Possibly the three greatest musicians ever (real musicians will not argue this),
been around longer than most bands, performed in many big name bands.
And yet they never really reached the commercial success they deserved.
To top it off... Greg Lake suffers for years and dies from Brain Cancer.
Keith Emerson suffers Parkinsons, can't play Piano any more and commits suicide.
Carl Palmer luckily, still teaches everyone how to play the drums!
Still remember seeing Keith's flying spinning Piano at 1974's California Jam (on TV).
But I was lucky enough to see ELP perform live in 1977.
Took some crappy photos...not great but its the best I got.
