Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (rehearsal footage)

Rehearsing the tune from their album, Brain Salad Surgery-these are musician's musicians, the ilk of Anderson and Squire, and anyone who has ever played with Jethro Tull.....

There you go again. A co-worker and I were discussing these guys today. We were trying to decide what made much of the music of the late 60s and early 70s enduring. You look at this and you're reminded, these are musicians with mastery of their subject. Cover bands can do 80s and 90s, and on, music, but they struggle with this kind of stuff. The good ones come close sometimes, but in the end I always determine they suck in comparison.

Before settling on Carl Palmer, they approached Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience; Mitchell was uninterested but passed the idea to Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix, tired of his band and wanting to try something different, expressed an interest in playing with the group. The British press, after hearing about this, speculated that such a supergroup would have been called HELP, or "Hendrix, Emerson, Lake & Palmer".[2]. Due to scheduling conflicts, such plans were not immediately realised, but the initial three planned a jam session with Hendrix after their second concert at the Isle of Wight Festival (their debut being in Plymouth Guildhall a day or two earlier), with the possibility of him joining. Hendrix died shortly thereafter, so the three pressed on as Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
