Please be mindful that we will pause (we prefer to react in the moment & to avoid copyright strike), we will react with enthusiasm, smiles, tears, conversation, exchanged looks and air-instruments.

We understand it may not be for everyone, but here's to hoping you all enjoy and we absolutely love positive comments and feedback.

Just a small thank you for yet again putting a smile on this old Brit progger's face for a great reaction. It is just so bloody fantastic, seeing guys of your generation discovering and loving the music we old buggers grew up with. And you and the lovely Alexia are shining examples of why there is still hope in this world. If I was one of your parents - or, perhaps more to the point grandparents :( - I would be SO proud of you both.
-
Greg Lake was not only the bass player and vocalist, he was also the band's guitarist. And they managed to make that work live, no small feat.
-
ELP is one of the greatest bands to ever Grace this planet and this album Brain Salad Surgery is an absolute Masterpiece! 🌴🌴
-
We were a very fortunate generation, growing up with such wonderful music.
-
Karn Evil 9 is to prog rock what Beethoven's 9th is to symphonic music. That break in the first impression, is because pt1 was on one side of the record and pt 2 was on the other side.
-
Emerson was the complete package: Technically excellent, compositionally brilliant, improvisationally inventive, and an incredible showman. He had no equal.
-
Brain Salad Surgery is an EPIC album. Progressive rock at its zenith.
-
Carl Palmer is one of the best drummers of all time

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reacting to the masterpiece which changed the life of this 16 year old English girl 50 years ago! It completely blew my mind and when I saw it performed live in May 1974 they took it to a whole new level. It's something I know every note of and never tire of. The whole transition between the two parts of the First Impression are because of the restrictions of a vinyl LP. It sounds much better now we can listen to them all together on CD! Keith Emerson was my ultimate hero and I was devastated when he left this planet 7 years ago on 11 March. It's amazing what three men can produce - Greg played both bass but also guitar.
-
This is the high water mark for Progressive rock that few have been able to touch. Bought this album soon after release. Loving it for 50 years,😊
-
Their peak. Live version on Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends is amazing what 3 young men can produce.
-
I am a long time ELP fan. I play keyboards and Keith Emerson is my Jimmy Hendrix. So happy to see younger people listen to this music. It is special music, and I really appreciate your openness to listen to different music. Keep doing what you are doing. You are keeping the music of my youth alive. Thank you! This will be part of the soundtrack to the rest of your life.
-
My understanding is Brain Salad Surgery was essentially recorded live in the studio with minimum if any overdubs unlike the previous Trilogy album (which was largely difficult to play live as a result of numerous overdubs) which makes the album even more amazing. In any case the fact that the three of them could recreate this music live is positively awe inspiring. Glad you appreciated this masterpiece.
-
I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times in the 70's. My favorite concert being the "Brain Salad Surgery" tour, it was in quad. Great concert, great band.
-
Emerson's melodic capabilities were incredible & sometimes ferocious. He had the uncanny knack to play exactly what your heart wants to hear. His musical notation ALWAYS resolves itself in joy.
-
I have a VC tech friend who was friends with Keith. He was a true genius. He is very missed. My friend rarely let's a day pass without telling me incredible stories in the studio where Keith's best work didn't always make it on the recording. If you can even imagine that.
-
Greg Lake at bass was sooooooooooo freakin good...
-
Karn Evil is in two parts. First part ended side A of the album while the second part started side B. In those days (ya i'm old) you had to change side on the turntable. I still have all those albums (ELP, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd etc...) in their original covers. Seen them live many times.
-
Greg lake plays the bass & guitar loved this whole album ever since I first heard it over 40 years ago. Three musicians in perfect harmony with each other 🙏 RIP Keith Emerson and Greg Lake 🎹🎸🎼🫶🏻
-
The live version from California Jam in 1974 is just epic hard to conceive how 3 people can make such immersive and complex music live
