Your reaction to this was everything, every expression was absolutely lost in the music. This is one of my favorite songs they ever did, so that was very wonderful to see. (EDIT: That violin bit you did with it just made it that much better.)

When you listen to more ELP songs in the future, don't expect them to be anything like this one.

Love ELP. They even did a rock version of "Fanfare for the Common Man"

ELP has three types of songs, Greg Lake ballads, like this song, rock versions of classical pieces, and ambitious progressive compositions. So now you've heard one of the ballads, but the other two categories are probably more important. But this is a beautiful piece. It was glorious on the Works tour with the touring orchestra.

To fully appreciate Greg Lake's angelic voice listen to "The Sage".

ELP is exactly what you want and need to hear - the most classically-influenced of all the major prog bands.

Greg Lake doing Still You Turn Me On live while chewing gum silencing a stadium by himself with an acoustic guitar.

He’s using he phrase, “C’est. La Vie” as if it were the name of a lover.
