Jode Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 The opening bar of the organ solo from "Stones Of Years," off ELP's Live At The Royal Albert Hall. It will blow your head clean off. Billy Powell of Lynyrd Skynyrd's pianner solo on "Call Me The Breeze" from the live album Tribute. This tour was the second big concert I ever saw in my life. There's something about a stepped-up country/blues solo by a fat country boy with a perm played in front of twenty thousand drunk rednecks that's just good for the soul. Chick Corea's piano solo on RTF's "The Romantic Warrior." Jan Hammer's guit-synth solo on "Elegant Gypsy" from Al DiMeola's Live Tour De Force. Hammer does a better DiMeola impression than most guitar players. This is not a bad thing. Gregg Rolie, "Oye Como Va." Yikes. "I had to have something, and it wasn't there. I couldn't go down the street and buy it, so I built it." Les Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyote Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Tarkus, opening riff. Hell, almost any ELP live performance qualifies. Caribe (Michel Camilo). Jon Lord. Again, most any live performance from the 70s works. I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist. This ain't no track meet; this is football.

Even the guitar player composed "Jump"...Well, if I want to get fired up as a keyboard player, I would probably just launch into "Big Chief" as fast as I can take it (Damn the torpedos mode :-) ) For listening it would tend to be the Clash - Guns of Brixton for example, or for a different mood "Daddy was a Bank Robber". Another favorite is (I want to ride my)Bicycle by Queen. I love the (lack of) bridges in that tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELP71 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hmmmm... Moments: Organ Solo from "Kentucky Woman" - John Lord Organ Solo from "Karella Suite" - Emerson w/The Nice Piano Solo (right before "Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies, etc) from "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel ...but the king of them all is when Emerson comes back in after the organ destroying section in the Karella Suite - plays the theme REAL LOUD. Followed by some RIDICULOUSLY manly smears making the signature 'WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW' scream. Unreal. I can lift a car after hearing that shit. Weasels ripped my flesh. Rzzzzzzz.

PianoJazz1951 Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 ...must be in the genes, ELP71. I just chomped on some nails and washed it down with some turpentine and Drano after listening to the same passage-and that was while driving.

coyote Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Before a gig, I only listen to whatever band (if any) is on before us. I'm too busy visualizing & hearing my own forthcoming gig to get into some CD or other.
