    Some of you may know I am a huge music lover. Just yesterday(12-7-16) we lost another third of the Great prog rock band Emerson Lake & Palmer. One of my all time favorites. Greg Lake passed away. Battling cancer. So I wanted to post a homage for him.(Kieth Emerson passed early this yr).

    Greg Lake was a lyricist, vocalist and bass player. He started out in 1968 with the band King Crimson(another incredible band). Then in late 1970 formed ELP with the other 2. They broke up in 1979. They have gotten back together in 1985 without Carl Palmer to record and tour for their album titled '3' with Cozy Powell(R.I.P.) on drums. Then for a couple of albums in the early 90's with Carl again. Then continued on with other projects.

    1st is his first solo album. Put out in 1981. Not as progressive as ELP, but still good. Gary Moore(R.I.P.) played guitar with him on this album.

    2nd is his photo from the ELP album 'Works Vol 1'. Put out in 1977. A double album featuring one side for each of the 3 individuals own songs and side 4 for the group compositions. Some of their best work.

    Carl Plamer has been touring for yrs now doing incredible live shows. Playing all ELP music. Just a 3 piece band playing all instrumental versions of ELP tunes. A guitarist in place of a keyboardist. I have seen them quite a few times now and I must say it is incredibly powerful.

    Thanx for reading my post and putting up with this stuff we call Rock-N-Roll.

      Had not heard of his passing. Thanks for the post. King Crimson were a favorite band.

      Sorry to hear. I saw ELP during their Brain Salad Surgery tour. Fantastic live performance.

      Another of the truly great ones. He never got the recognition he deserved.

      Thanx rniederman and Caperkid. Thanx to valentino97, Efesgirl and fortapache.

      I was a bit too young to see them in 1973. That must have been spectacular. Brain Salad Surgery is an incredible album. fortapache I agree with you.
