This is one of the saddest pieces I know so it's most appropriate here. Rest in peace, sir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1JjOpXsJ7A Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: Ovi on December 08, 2016, 07:26:41 AM Damn. In The Court is still the best prog album to me.
Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: KDS on December 08, 2016, 07:32:24 AM Damn. In The Court is still the best prog album to me. That's a great LP. Hard to believe we lost 2/3 of ELP in 2016. Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: SMiLE Brian on December 08, 2016, 07:36:22 AM :(

Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: HeyJude on December 08, 2016, 12:15:32 PM I never would have guessed when I saw Ringo on his 2001 tour that a post-intermission power trio performance of "Karn Evil 9" by the trio of Greg Lake, Howard Jones, and Sheila E. would be one of the highlights of the night.

My favorite ELP song, and appropriately melancholy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SCmchJTPPo Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: Summertime Blooz on December 08, 2016, 05:30:10 PM Loved his voice! Thanks for the music.

2016 continues to be a shitty year. 2/3 of ELP gone.! Sucks! RIP Greg Lake! Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: feelsflow on December 08, 2016, 11:39:55 PM Loved his voice! Thanks for the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwGQmschkvk Tarkus was their best, "Stones of Years" one of my favorites from it. What a powerful voice he had. Here's one of mine from Brain Salad Surgery: https://youtu.be/_8VHHcd0M_o Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: Jay on December 09, 2016, 02:44:54 AM God fucking damn it. >:( :(
Title: Re: R.I.P., Greg Lake Post by: JK on December 09, 2016, 03:23:23 AM I saw him in '72 with ELP at a pollwinners' concert, with Tarkus in tow:

The 1'st & 5'th line were originally in essence coined by Mr. K, as part of a regular palindrome last year. Now, I've framed them to form a new limerick-palindrome, almost rhyming with the one shown furthest below. But alas the 3'rd line in this mix becomes way too long for a limerick (I guess that "M" would signify: use EMerson or Don't):
>Sex-e-palindromes unite GODs EXes! An integral EVIL perplexes. Ex-ELP-rep.: live-large-t^'nin! AS "EXes": DO-GET-IN ! Use M. or D.; nil APEXes.< So instead I'll go for a more general wording (with a zen-bhuddistic punchline, though that might be a contradiction in terms) which could apply to most - if not all of us [By Mr.K/SkRm]: >Sex-e-palindromes unite GODs EXes An integral EVIL --- flexes ! Ex-elf: live-LargE-T^'NIN! AS "EXes": DO-GET-IN ! Use M.O.Rd; nil APEXes< |
