231.0. "ELP" by OSAV03::HIDAKA () Tue Jan 23 1990 02:42

     
      Hello.  My name is Atsuo Hidaka at Osaka-SWS in Japan.

    I want to write a topic about the group that was the one of the greatest

    progressive bands (other were PINK FLOYD ,YES...), I believe.

    That was the most exiting and powerful team in my memory.


	Welcome to my friends  and  the show that never ends

      Lagies  and  gentlemen .....

231.1to the show that never ends!CSCOA5::THOMPSON_RWelcome back my friends...Tue Jan 23 1990 04:494
    yeah! what a great group! I'm still an ELP fan, but I liked them better
    with Carl Palmer.  oooooh what a lucky man...

231.2Confusion will be my EPITAPH...OSAV03::HIDAKADeath is Life...Wed Jan 31 1990 01:2417
	  Thank you for your reply, Tom. 
	I'm especially a fan of Greg Lake.  My favourites songs are,

		"Hoedown" , "Jerusalem" , "Knife Edge" 
		"Still...  you turn me on"      and
		"Tarkus"  ( including   Confusion will be my Epitaphhhhh...)

	  I wish ELP will be reorganized by Keith Emerson , Greg Lake  and
	Kerl Palmer (not Cozy Powell).

	ps)  Did you watch the concert for the 40th anniversary of Atlantic
		record Co. last year ?
	     In that concert, Keith and Kerl played "Nutlocker".

    Ref. .2
    
    If you like Lake's "Epitaph.." you should try to listen King Crimson's
    "At the Court of the Crimson King" where Lake was singing many gems
    like "Epitaph", "At the Court of the Crimson King" and "21st Century
    Schizoid Man" (the last is a begining of the heavy). After, Lake left
    for ELP (King Crimson included also Ian MacDonald who later formed
    Foreigner).

231.6I think that Tony Levin was on bass tooPOLAR::LACAILLELookit them yo-yo'sWed Jan 31 1990 16:4220

	I remember a King Crimson concert a few years ago. It was
	quite short but very very good. These guys are technically perfect
	musicians.

	The concert started with (I have forgotten names here) two of
	the band members dueling on xylophones. As this was going
	on the rest of the band slowly walked on stage and in stages
	added their instrument to the sound. It was quite an effect.

	I believe one of the percussionists was Adrian Buloo (sp?).

	I do however distintly remember Mr Fripp being there, sitting
	on his customary chair doing unheard of things with his guitar
	and associated frippertronics. Man is that guy ever intense!

	They of course played Twenty First Century Schiziod Man.

231.7King Crimson rooooolz!CSC32::G_HOUSEIt's just a jump to the left...Wed Jan 31 1990 18:0014
    re: .6/.5  King Crimson
    
    Sounds like .6 saw the "new" King Crimson.  An awesome band, but
    different then the old Crimson with Greg Lake, Ian McDonald and others. 
    The only common band member is Robert Fripp.
    
    Like .5 says, on the ELP live album Lake sings a portion of a King
    Crimson song in the midst of one of the ELP tunes.  Works perfectly and
    sounds great.  "In The Court Of The Crimson King" is a wildly eclectic
    album, but very cool.
    
    I've always wanted to cover "21st Century Scizoid Man" in a band!

231.8I will be a Schizoid man !OSAV03::HIDAKAA.Hidaka Osaka/SWS/OS2/U2Thu Feb 01 1990 07:4212
	re .5:

	  Yes, I like King Crimson very much too.  Especially  "The Court Of
	The Crimson King" is too perfect !  But I was discouraged to hear
	the 2nd album "....Poseidon...(I forgot the title)".
	I think  Robert Fripp is a Genius or a Schizoid man ! 

	And I was a fan of John Wetton (?spell).  I don't what group he is in.

231.9Atomic Rooster & Greg LakeCOMET::FERRISMChoosers of the slainThu Feb 01 1990 11:4411
    
    
       I know this goes back some years but, does anyone remember the
    band Atomic Rooster? I believe Greg Lake helped form this early
    power band before moving on to King Crimson. I still have two or
    three albums at home. Haven't listened to them for years. Worth a
    listen if you can find the material. One title that comes to mind
    is  the album "In Hearing Of..."

231.10The Gods & Greg Lake tooKETJE::VLASIUThu Feb 01 1990 13:5914
    Ref. .6
    The correct name I think is Adrian Belew (bass player and lead vocals
    with King Crimson). He has a new solo album which I've heard it's good.
    Ref. .8
    On "..Poseidon.." the only song I really like is the title track "In
    the awake of Poseidon" because it's the closest to their first LP (King
    Crimson).
    Ref. .9
    Greg Lake played in the begining in "The Gods" with Mick Taylor
    (Rolling Stones), Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake (both Uriah Heep) and
    someone else who continued with .. Jethro Tull. Greg is what I like the
    most in ELP (he's a great ballad singer).
