Allmusic.com / Biography by Bruce Eder
Emerson, Lake & Palmer were progressive rock's first supergroup. Greeted by the rock press and the public as something akin to conquering heroes, they succeeded in broadening the audience for progressive rock from hundreds of thousands into tens of millions of listeners, creating a major radio phenomenon as well. Their flamboyance on record and in the studio echoed the best work of the heavy metal bands of the era, proving that classical rockers could compete for that arena-scale audience. Over and above their own commercial success, the trio also paved the way for the success of such bands as Yes, who would become their chief rivals for much of the 1970s. Keyboardist Keith Emerson planted the seeds of the group in late 1969 when his band the Nice shared a bill at the Fillmore West with King Crimson, and the two first spoke of the possibility of working together. After the Crimson lineup began disintegrating during their first U.S. tour, Lake opted to leave the group. Upon officially teaming in 1970, Emerson and Lake auditioned several drummers before they approached Carl Palmer, not yet 20 years old and already an overpowering talent, as well as a former member of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Atomic Rooster. The trio's first rehearsals mostly picked up from the Nice's and King Crimson's respective repertoires, including such well-known numbers as "Rondo" and "21st Century Schizoid Man." In August of 1970, ELP played their first show at the Plymouth Guildhall, just ahead of the Isle of Wight Festival in August of 1970, where they astonished more than half a million onlookers with their sound and instrumental prowess. The group's self-titled debut album, comprised of their strongest early originals and two dazzling classical adaptations - filled with rippling piano and synthesizer playing by Emerson and lightning-fast drumming by Palmer, and anchored around Lake's bass work - was finished the following month and released in November. That album was an instant success, rising to the Top Five in England and the Top 20 in America with considerable help from a last-minute addition - pressed to fill out the running time of the album, the group settled on a composition that Lake had written as a boy, called "Lucky Man." The latter became their debut single and made the Top 50 in America. The trio's stage act rapidly became the stuff of legend, Emerson's organ pyrotechnics - which dated from his days with the Nice - getting him compared to Jimi Hendrix. The recording of the second ELP album, Tarkus (1971), tested their cohesiveness while stretching their sound in new directions and dimensions, with a much more complex electronic keyboard sound and a running time on the title track that took up the entire first side. But "Tarkus" the composition, despite its difficult birth (at first, Lake didn't resonate very well to the musical textures or time signature that Emerson and Palmer had begun with), ultimately defined the ELP sound as most people understood it: loud and bombastic, somewhat gloomy in its lyrical tone, and boundlessly exultant in its instrumental power. The Tarkus album reached number one in England and the Top Ten in America, and it seemed at this point as though the trio could do little wrong - after a couple of abortive attempts, they captured a new feature of their concerts, a rock adaptation of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, at a March 21, 1971, concert at Newcastle City Hall, and it, in turn, became another major hit. Indeed, as a result of the release of that album, several million teenagers of high-school age suddenly had Mussorgsky's name and music - after a fashion - in their consciousness, to the delight or chagrin of music educators (depending on their outlook) everywhere. It was eight months before ELP's next record, Trilogy, was released in July of 1972. In the interim, they toured extensively, and made it their business to cultivate the college audience that took most naturally to their work. Lake never sang better, nor did the group ever sound more comfortable and laid-back on that album, and among the eight very solid numbers in a classical-rock vein, there was tucked a track that became virtually the band's signature tune, a version of Aaron Copland's Hoedown. The group also enjoyed its most successful pop single off of that album in the Lake-authored ballad "From the Beginning." Such was the group's credibility that when it came time to record a version of the first movement of Alberto Ginastera's Piano Concerto No. 1 and the publisher denied them permission, they approached the composer himself, who fully approved of the track that became "Tocatta" on Brain Salad Surgery, released in 1973. The most popular album in their history, Brain Salad Surgery dominated the charts and the airwaves upon its release - it was also their boldest group effort, offering the "Karn Evil 9" epic that filled more than the side of an LP, as well as the best playing and production in their history, and some of the most elaborate packaging of the fairly daunting progressive rock boom. By this time, the band had formed its own label, Manticore Records (named for one of the mythological creatures portrayed in "Tarkus"). Through Manticore, ELP also released material by ex-King Crimson lyricist Pete Sinfield and the Italian progressive rock band PFM; Sinfield's presence as a composer with Lake on Brain Salad Surgery also helped strengthen one of the group's lingering weaknesses, its lyrics - where Lake's use of language had always tended toward the pleasant but simplistic, Sinfield, a veteran of King Crimson, provided lyrical complexity nearly as daunting as the best of the group's music.

In the wake of this string of successes, ELP released a triple live album, Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends, in August of 1974, which was their last new release for over three years. It was also at this point that the bandmembers began chafing at the restrictions that the trio put on their individual ambitions - Emerson's boldest compositions were pure classical music, requiring orchestral accompaniment; Lake's songs didn't necessarily have much for Emerson or Palmer to contribute; similarly, Palmer's music was going in directions that would have left the others as little more than sidemen. A trio of solo albums would have been the answer, but they'd also seen how solo releases by members of such top acts as Yes and the Moody Blues had failed to sell in numbers resembling those of their respective groups. The result was Works, Vol. 1, a double LP that was essentially three one-sided solo albums by each member and a fourth group side. Released in March of 1977, the record fared relatively poorly, both commercially and critically. Additionally, following the release, the group was never the same - Works destroyed ELP's unity, and their remaining motivation for recording seemed only to be their contractual obligations. Worse still, they had squandered valuable time over the hiatus between Brain Salad Surgery and Works, during which the public's taste was changing - by 1977, the notion of extended suites, conceptual rock albums, and classical-rock fusion that were trademarks of ELP's sound seemed hopelessly ponderous and pretentious, as the rise of punk rock and disco combined to undermine any notion of intellectualism in rock. Works, Vol. 2, released in November of 1977, was nothing more than a collection of obscure B-sides and odd tracks dating back four years - though it received more positive reviews in some quarters than did its more ambitious predecessor - while their next album of new material, Love Beach, was later described by the bandmembers themselves as nothing more than a matter of going through the motions. ELP split up in 1979, with Lake embarking on a moderately successful solo career, while Emerson took to composing film scores and recorded the occasional solo project and Palmer, after a stint with the band Carl Palmer's PM, joined the pop supergroup Asia. In the mid-'80s, Emerson and Lake got together with drummer Cozy Powell as the short-lived Emerson, Lake & Powell, complete with a self-titled 1985 album and a tour. In 1991, Emerson, Lake & Palmer reunited for the Black Moon album, followed by a tour, which led to the release of Live at the Royal Albert Hall and another studio album, 1994's In the Hot Seat. The trio mounted several additional international reunion tours during the mid- to late '90s, although disputes over an intended new album, however, short-circuited their planned late-decade recording comeback. Emerson re-formed the Nice for a reunion tour and live album early in the new century, and later collaborated with Mike Bennett in the making of a triple-disc set entitled Reworks: Brain Salad Perjury, exploring new permutations of ELP's sound. He and Palmer have each toured with their respective bands, with Palmer later rejoining Asia for a 25th anniversary tour, while Greg Lake toured with Ringo Starr in 2001, and subsequently formed his own band. Lake and Emerson scheduled a tour of the United States and Canada performing in an acoustic format in 2010, and the trio planned to reunite for a single 40th anniversary performance in July of 2010, presented as part of Classic Rock magazine's High Voltage Festival at Victoria Park in London.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer (сокращённо ELP) - английская рок-группа направления прогрессивный рок, образованная в 1969 году, названная по фамилиям трёх её участников: Кита Эмерсона, Грега Лейка и Карла Палмера. ELP считается одной из первых супергрупп, поскольку все её участники получили широкую известность до вхождения в группу: Эмерсон ранее играл в группе The Nice, Лейк - в King Crimson, а Палмер - в Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Основа ELP была образована Китом Эмерсоном и Грегом Лейком в 1969 году. В ходе совместной работы они начали поиск барабанщика. Их выбор упал на Митча Митчелла - барабанщика Джимми Хендрикса. Митчелл счёл предложение не интересным для себя, но рассказал о группе Хендриксу. Джими эта идея понравилась, поскольку он хотел попробовать себя в несколько ином направлении музыки, чем до того. К тому времени к группе присоединился Карл Палмер, и квартет исполнил джем после второго своего концерта на фестивале Isle of Wight. Были даже планы назвать группу «HELP» - «Hendrix, Emerson, Lake & Palmer», однако эму не суждено было случиться из за скорой смерти Джимми. Первые четыре года ELP были самыми творчески плодотворными. Лейк спродюсировал первые шесть альбомов, начиная с Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970), на котором был хит «Lucky Man». Tarkus (1971) был их первым успешным концептуальным альбомом, описывающим историю «обратной эволюции». Запись выступления группы в марте 1971 года в Ньюкасле, на котором была исполнена своя интерпретация «Картинок с выставки» Мусоргского, была выпущена в продажу по низкой цене, но стала одним из самых заметных успехов группы. На альбоме 1972 Trilogy можно услышать самый популярный хит ELP - балладу «From the Beginning». В конце 1973 года вышел альбом Brain Salad Surgery с завораживающей взгляд обложкой Ганса Руди Гигера, который стал самым известным студийным альбомом группы. Часть текстов песен к альбому сочинил Питер Синфилд, который был создателем концепции группы King Crimson и автором текстов первых её четырёх альбомов. Последовавший за выпуском альбома концертный тур документирован объёмистым трёхдисковым концертным альбомом Welcome Back my Friends to the Show that Never Ends (1974). По окончании тура группа разошлась, но участники договорились воссоединиться через три года. В 1977 Эмерсон, Лейк и Палмер сошлись вновь. За прошедшее время они с различным успехом вели сольную карьеру, наибольших успехов добился Лейк, чей синглу I believe in Father Christmas, на слова того же Синфилда, чуть-чуть не занял первое место в рождественских чартах 1975 года. Название их нового совместного двойного альбома - Works Volume I отражало его пёстрое содержимое: на сочинения каждого из участников, написанные в период бездействия группы, было отведено по стороне пластинки, и лишь последняя, четвёртая, содержала совместно написанный материал. Звучание группы претерпело существенные изменения: к привычным переработкам классики («The Enemy God Dances With The Black Spirits» - переработка Палмером Прокофьева) и акустическим балладам Лейка добавилось оркестровое звучание, а Эмерсон заполнил всю отведённую ему часть 18-минутным фортепианным концертом. В 1977 ELP отправились в турне с симфоническим оркестром из более 130 музыкантов. В ходе турне возникли осложнения с профсоюзом музыкантов, запрещавшим давать более 3-х концертов в неделю и перемещаться более чем на 250 миль в сутки. В результате после двух недель турне группа потеряла около 3-х миллионов долларов. Было принято решение отказаться от оркестра и продолжать турне в формате трио. В 1978 году, после окончания турне был выпущен сборник вещей, не вошедших в альбом Works Volume I, названный Works Volume II. Группа пожелала взять перерыв на несколько лет, чтобы каждый смог заняться сольной деятельностью, но по условиям контракта с Atlantic Records до этого музыканты должны были выпустить ещё один новый альбом. Альбом Love Beach был записан на Багамах, по мнению многих поклонников он является самым слабым альбомом группы. В декабре 1979 группа заявила о распаде. Кит Эмерсон занялся написанием музыки к фильмам, Карл Палмер организовал свою группу PM, позже поучаствовал в супергруппе Asia. Грег Лэйк выпустил два довольно успешных сольных альбома совместно с Гэри Муром. В 1985 Джим Льюис, вице-президент Polydor Records, обратился к Эмерсону насчёт возможности воссоединения трио. Лэйк согласился участвовать в проекте, Палмер не смог присоединиться из-за контрактных обязательств перед Asia. Ударником стал легендарный Cozy Powell, игравший ранее в Rainbow, Whitesnake и других известных группах. Был записан альбом Emerson, Lake and Powell, группа провела турне по Соединённым Штатам, после чего проект распался. В 1987 Эмерсон, Палмер и Роберт Берри организовали группу 3 (The Three), провели успешный тур по США, в 1988 выпустили альбом To The Power Of 3, который не имел коммерческого успеха. В 1991 Эмерсон, Лэйк и Палмер получили очередное предложение работать вместе. Группа вернулась к активной деятельности. Новый альбом Black Moon был выпущен в 1992 , классический звук ELP дополнился возможностями новейших инструментов и технологий, композиции стали покороче, чем в 70-е, и более доступными для современной широкой публики. Группа активно выступала на протяжении 1992 и 1993 , был намечен выпуск очередного альбома. Но к этому времени у Эмерсона возникли проблемы с нервом кисти, ему пришлось перенести хирургическую операцию. В результате запись нового альбома In The Hot Seat получилась скомканной, альбом не производил цельного впечатления. Группа договорилась взять очередной двухлетний тайм-аут. В 1996 музыканты провели очень успешный тур совместно с Jethro Tull, очень благоприятно освещаемый прессой. В 1997 и 1998 группа продолжала активно выступать. Была запланирована работа над новым концептуальным альбомом. Но возникшие разногласия по поводу продюссирования будущей работы привели к очередному распаду группы. Эмерсон на время воссоединился со своими коллегами из The Nice для проведения небольшого тура и выпуска концертного альбома Vivacitas. После чего собрал свою группу Keith Emerson Band, с которой по настоящий момент проводит небольшие турне. Карл Палмер поучаствовал в проекте Qango вместе со своим бывшим коллегой по Asia Джоном Веттоном, сейчас выступает с собственной группой Carl Palmer Band. Грег Лэйк тоже собрал свою группу, гитаристом которой стал молодой немецкий музыкант Флориан Опале, игравший с Яном Андерсоном из Jethro Tull. Один из концертов был снят и выпущен на DVD.
