EL & P Emerson,Lake & Palmer/Belgium 1971 & more Japanese Broadcast Version

EL&P in 1971 mass-produced historical masterpieces and took the world by storm. Introducing a DVD of the standard pro shots in the highest quality. What is included in this work is actually a Japanese TV special. This is an EL&P special feature of the famous program “Golden Western Music Live” that was aired on a certain broadcasting company in 2007. This program broadcasts standard rock videos, but the quality is superb and the modest yet unique sense of production is amazing. At our store, we have archived a number of masterpiece videos and out-of-print videos in program versions. This work is the EL&P edition, but the contents of the broadcast mainly include “POP MUSIC” recorded at “February 6th + 7th, 1971 Brussels Performance”, and “ROCK POP” from 1977 is also coupled. What I did. Both are professional shots that are familiar to enthusiasts, but they are the finest digital broadcast versions. [1971: Belgium’s “POP MUSIC”] The main feature is a professional shot from the Brussels TV program “POP MUSIC.” This is a famous video representing 1971. EL&P was a group that was constantly engaged in intense activities, and 1971 was its culmination. Here, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and realize how intense the year was, along with the show position. 《January 1st: Debut release (North America)》《January “Tarkus” recording》 ・February 4th-7th: Europe #1 (3 performances) ←★Here★・March 4th-April 9th Sun: UK #1 (25 performances) ← *Official “Pictures at an Exhibition” April 21st – June 20th: North America #1/Europe #2 (43 performances)《“Tarkus” released on June 14th》・July 17th-September 1st: North America #2 (30 performances)《Production of “Trilogy” started in October《《“Pictures at an Exhibition” released in November》・November 12th-December 19th: North America #3/UK #2 (34 performances) This is EL&P’s 1971. At the beginning of the year, his debut work “EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER” was released in the United States (in his home country in November of the previous year), and he released “Tarkus” and “Pictures at an Exhibition” while going on an intense tour. Production on “Trilogy” has begun as early as this fall. At that time, it was not uncommon to release two albums in one year, but EL&P in 1971 was involved in four historic masterpieces in just one year, making it an unprecedented period in rock history. did. Even so, this video is just the beginning. It is a professional shot that appeared between the two great albums “Tarkus” and “Pictures at an Exhibition”. The video that captures the three people shining fiercely is still very powerful. The set, which includes three special songs from their debut, “The Barbarian,” “Take A Pebble,” and “Knife Edge,” plus “Rondo” and “Nutrocker,” is primitive yet concentrated in EL&P’s elements. The performance is wild to the last, overflowing with the momentum and initial impulse of a freshly debuted band without seeking precision. Of course, you can fully enjoy the performance that sticks a knife into the organ inherited from THE NICE, and Greg’s beautiful voice that is no different from KING CRIMSON. The video production makes you feel as “1971” as the performance itself. Images of flames, water surfaces, psychedelic patterns, highways, etc. are inserted into the live scene. It’s not something as bold as ZEP’s “Frenzy Live”, but it’s a momentary thing that doesn’t interfere with the performance scene, but its taste and materials are very reminiscent of the early 70’s. Also, the opening song “The Barbarian” is particularly interesting. It begins with a short scene in which the members (for some reason still in their casual clothes) jump up and head to the venue, and the feet of (a completely unrelated person) are shown trotting along to a harsh, detailed beat. Whether it’s serious or comical, it gives us a glimpse of the time when the image of rock music had not yet solidified. [1977: West Germany’s “ROCK POP” + 1 PV song] What followed in 1971 was a sudden jump in time, with TV appearances in the “Work No. 2” era. There are two mime songs, “Tiger In A Spotlight” and “Show Me The Way To Go Home,” but these are Kessaku. The point is that it is not a “masterpiece” but a “quessaku”, and in “Tiger In A Spotlight” a live tiger is brought into the studio set, and Greg is singing while shaking. Of course, the tiger is chained, and Greg is doing his best to remain calm. However, every time the tiger moves, your eyes flicker, and his actions and smiles are extremely stiff. What’s more, in the final scene of the song, perhaps due to an interruption, the tiger moves even closer to Greg’s side, and when the song ends, it backs away… As expected, Greg can’t be fooled by this. Although it is a play on the title of the song, the TV station also thought of an unreasonable production. After those two songs, a clip of “Fanfare For The Common Man” is also included. Both the program and the PV are familiar images, but the quality is top-notch. Even in light of modern standards, it is completely official grade. [Comes with the program’s original production, including passionate commentary and Japanese subtitles] Those performance scenes alone will fill you up, but this work also includes the program’s unique Japanese subtitles, explanation captions for each song, and an explanation corner. Although there are almost no MCs, “POP MUSIC” has interviews with three people, and you can clearly understand the contents. The explanation corner is more than that. This program has a corner in which celebrities are invited to talk about the theme band, but the one who is the guide for the EL&P episode is a famous rock fan. Born in 1965, he is not a real timer, but his love of prog rock is widely known throughout the world. His speaking style is extremely passionate. He speaks passionately about EL&P as if he were a former tennis player. This is really amazing. In fact, he is extremely knowledgeable, and as he comes from a family of entertainers, he is well aware of his position and character, and he puts his passion to the forefront. “I used to play Roundabout and Larks’ Tongues In Aspic Part 2 every morning before going to school,” and “I was pinned down… an organ is not a comforter (lol).” He exudes the joy of being in love, and speaks with a passion that can be felt intuitively by everyone. Of course, he is not making a fuss, and his comments about the history and charm of the band are backed by deep knowledge and are flawless. He’s a great host who makes you want to look at the screen and say, “EL&P is the best!” The film ends with him saying, “Currently, I’m doing a solo career, but I can’t do it without these three people,” and “I wonder if we can somehow see a reunion concert.” These words are from 2007, but they hit home even more now. Yes, what flows out of this work is the crystallization of a dream that no longer comes true. EL&P was the world’s strongest keyboard trio in history. A piece where you can enjoy about 75 minutes of the most dazzling appearance of those three people with the best professional shots. A delightful piece with surprisingly beautiful images and unique Japanese subtitles. Broadcast Date: 15th September 2007 Theater 140, Brussels, Belgium 6th & 7th February 1971 PRO-SHOT 1.
