stillearning Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Damn indeed. ELP was my first real concert, their first tour in the early 70's. I was a wide-eyed high school kid in awe of the performance in front of me! I would like to apologize to anyone I have not yet offended. Please be patient and I will get to you shortly.

HammondDave Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The first time I saw and heard Greg was at this concert below... in November of 1969 at the West Palm Beach Pop Festival, King Crimson played two out of the three days. This performance changed my musical life! We will miss your amazing talent, Greg. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff374/hammonddave/king-crimson_wpb_zps7cpktaxw.jpg '55 and '59 B3's; Leslies 147, 122, 21H; MODX 7+; NUMA Piano X 88; Motif XS7; Mellotrons M300 and M400’s; Wurlitzer 206; Gibson G101; Vox Continental; Mojo 61; Launchkey 88 Mk III; Korg Module; B3X; Model D6; Moog Model D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthaholic Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I always loved his voice. So British and so intimate. I've been listening to 'From The Beginning' and 'Still You Turn Me On'.

Krakit Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I just found out and couldn't think of a more appropriate place to share my grief than this forum. 2016 is a year full of tears for me. Another ocean shed for the frontman and bassist for what was to me, the most influential musical group of all. I owe so much to Emerson, Lake and Palmer in as much as how they shaped my approach to composition. It seems that so many torches are going dim this year, I just hope with all the feverishness that I can muster that Gregory Stuart Lake is the last great hero to exit the stage before we ring in a hopefully more joyous 2017.

Mark Schmieder Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 What a week of grief. We're still reeling from the Oakland fire (many of us knew people who perished). Greg Lake was one of about a half dozen or so bassists that are the reason I picked that instrument as my main axe after I left the classical world behind.

Mark Schmieder Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I skipped ELP in favour of Yes back in the mid-70's, much to my regret (mostly because Yes played at the echoic Boston Garden sports arena, and pretty much only played Topographic Oceans), but made up for it with the Black Moon tour in the 90's. Although he had put on a lot of weight and wasn't quite as energetic, Lake's voice was still full of passion, and his bass playing was tight beyond compare. That concert remains one of the highlights of my life.

David Emm Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I got to see the "Brain Salad Surgery" tour and remember being mightily impressed with Greg. I knew him from King Crimson, so it was a pleasure to hear him live, but imagine the huge balls it took to stand up there next to Keith and Carl! He was even more of a bedrock-bassist because of the trio setting. Keith always seemed to stay out of Greg's range in the right places. Sure, the YouTube videos can sound a bit quaint, decades later, but never forget that they pulled that off live, year after year. It was like a smokin' New Orleans house band that was a living cutting contest. The nearest thing to a sequencer to be had was that venerable old Moog module. So any time I get a bass track in the pocket, I owe part of it to hearing Greg. "I like that rapper with the bullet in his nose!" "Yeah, Bulletnose!

Piktor Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Awesome track posting Mr. Bryce. Instead of playing my usual jazz sampler for my junior high jazz band this morning, I played "Lucky Man". ELP came to Edmonton only once (1990s). Today, for the second time this year, I'm wearing the t-shirt that I bought that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
