You want some more music? Since yesterday’s selection was from the ’60s, check out this Emerson,* Lake and Palmer concert video from 1974 — and after admiring, yes, admiring the virtuosity, you can thank me.†
If you don’t agree with me that this is one of the finest ballads ever written, I’ll be inclined to beat you with my cane.
I’m serious, really really serious.
* No relation. Not that it would matter if he was. He is (and they are) nevertheless awesome, and if you disagree with me on this, you will not enjoy the consequences, I guarantee you.
† For even more virtuosity, check out the studio version of this song; Keith Emerson’s keyboard solo at the end was entirely improvised, done in one take, and recorded without his knowledge.
