1. Heh...nice pick, I was gonna post some ELP for my Friday night album rock tonight

I'll find something else. Greg is sorely missed.

2. I'll look forward to checking out what you choose!

So many great selections. Three fabulous musical talents. I guess our minds are on the same wavelength. 🙂

4. There is never a wrong time for ELP...

I'm probably going to stick with my pick as I really wanted to have salad with my dinner tonight.

5. I saw them in person many years ago in Oakland. nt

6. For those unaware of his previous stint with King Crimson

I recommend checking out "In the Court of the Crimson King". Weird, crazy prog stuff. The album is a little uneven, with kind of a weird lull in the middle of side 2. But Lake's vocals on the whole thing are great. It shows his range from proto-heavy-metal to ballad singer.

7. I saw them back in the 70s when they toured with a 60 piece orchestra.

Word was they employed a guy who’s sole responsibility was to take care of the Persian Rug that Greg stood on while he sung. They almost went broke but it was a damn good show.

8. I saw Greg do a solo show a few years before he passed

Telling stories and playing songs from throughout his career. Talked about the cover of the first Crimson album, Emerson's synth solo on Lucky Man, that sort of thing. He took the stage to some small pyrotechnics and the Kanye song that sampled 21st Century Schizoid Man.
It was a fun, intimate show.

9. If anyone is interested

I’m looking forward to reading his bio - my sister got it and is reading it first
