Thanks! lefthandedskyhook May 2025 #3
I think the three of them achieved top notch chamber music here lefthandedskyhook May 2025 #4
Maybe...I just know they were unique in their music. OAITW r.2.0 May 2025 #5
All of them were classically trained it seems. Greg Lake had a very poetic sound and they played well together lefthandedskyhook May 2025 #6
All I know is, early 70's was the sweet spot for crazy, great, unique music. OAITW r.2.0 May 2025 #7

Very pretty Song. Fantastic guitar part, nice subtle rhythm parts & the cool synths at the end.

But, I do know they had what I consider to be the best keyboardist in the rock era, mostly because he was such a good piano player.
Keith was a titan!

Has to be 45-47 years ago that I just decided I HAD to know that opening.
I'm not sure that I play it exactly like Lake did, but I'll still grab a guitar & play this.
