Hocus Pocus... Live performance in 1973. Very tight musicianship. Classical training does pay off.

Nice performance....
After listening to that song, I even browsed around and listened to Sylvia... really great songs....

SailDesign · 01-06-2009, 01:01 PM

Heh! Thanks for the memories - I saw them at Reading Rock festival (UK) in 1972, and when they did a live show at the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth later that year. Always great stuff.

Bob_VT · 01-06-2009, 01:27 PM

Start my morning out with a flashback! I have not heard that in years!

kou · 01-06-2009, 02:04 PM

thanks for making me do acid again.

NJBob · 01-06-2009, 05:57 PM

COOL! There are other vids of them playing in 2000. The singer is an old fart with a hat now, like me. hehehe Not to mention that I can play the guitar part....just not quite as fast. LOL

GeneW · 01-07-2009, 02:53 AM

Some of you were really lucky to see them in their prime.

I did not realize how good these guys are until I saw this video.

Glad that you all liked it.

GeneW · 01-07-2009, 03:02 AM

I really wanted to put up "Kentucky Woman", which made a good song better but had to settle for "Burn".

Their commercial stuff like "Smoke on the Water" is great but Burn has a lot of classical riffs that make it for me.

I saw this song on Guitar Hero 3.

But it reminds me of..
SMOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEE IN THE WAAAAAAATTTTTTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR bwap bwap bwaaaaaaaap bwap bwap bee bwaaappp duh duh duhhhhhhh duuu duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

*jclo3313* · 01-07-2009, 08:55 AM

Deep Purple was my first big concert.

eTiMaGo · 01-07-2009, 12:01 PM

I could listen to Highway Star over and over and over...

gid · 01-07-2009, 12:36 PM

I think DEEP PURPLE's " Who Do We Think We Are " is their best release . All tracks rock . Then there's Ritchie Blackmore's RAINBOW . " RISING " is all time classic . The debut not to shabby as well .

GeneW · 01-07-2009, 05:30 AM

Very lucky to have these online.

Emerson Lake and Palmer rehearsing Karn Evil 9. They make it look both very easy and very hard.

No wonder Brain Salad Surgery took a year of studio work... also notice Keith's bottle collection. He probably needed it after a time, trying to build such a work note by note and gesture by gesture.

Eruption from Tarkus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZquiACzPLY

Greg Lake going it alone, sorta ("Still you turn me on").

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssC6Pun5qzQ

Another Lake ballad.. 1997. Fat old farts who never lost their edge.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=570W6DKg_Oo

Note Keith's fluid playing. You'd have never guessed he had ulnar nerve damage and had to have nerve surgery to restore use of one of his hands.

SailDesign · 01-07-2009, 08:26 AM

Tarkus. I remember, i remember....
They had one of those Tarkus-tanks on stage at The Oval concert in '72, IIRC. Puny little smoke-shots, but great music.

Loren · 01-07-2009, 10:43 AM

I'm not old enough to have seen any of these guys in concert in their prime (Focus, Deep Purple, ELP, etc), but having a brother who was in his teens in the early 70's (10 years older than me), I picked up on a lot of the music. I blame him for my musical tastes primarily spanning the 60's through the 80's instead of being limited to the late 70's through the 80's... and that's a good thing.

Now, what about Yes and some very early (pre-disco) ELO?

Bob_VT · 01-07-2009, 11:35 AM

Okay Gene you can stop anytime. Dam I miss those days and music.

This is a great walk down the nostalgia road. The songs remind me of what I was doing way back then..... the good times LOL

The AM radio in the car the 8 track player..... then the AM FM 8 track combo which only weighed 20 lbs when mounted!

KCALB SIRAY · 01-07-2009, 01:32 PM

Gene, I busted Palmer for solicitating a prostitute charge back in 1998 at a Hilton. lol. Love it. Good times. I still have the report somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it up.

I'm surprised that he had to buy a young lady's time, but more likely he paid for her to go away...
