ELP was great back in the '70s. The only band I liked better in concert was Pink Floyd. I never was a fan of Lake's lyrics but the band's sound was awesome!
I remember oh what a lucky he was. Just barely. 
I really enjoyed ELP back in the day, sorry to hear of his passing.

RIP. Very accomplished band.
I feel very fortunate to have seen ELP for the Brain Salad Surgery Tour around 1973 at Madison Square Garden, R.I.P. Greg

Oh man, Greg Lake and I shared a birthday! Keith Emerson passed earlier this year, too, right? What a rotten year for rock and roll.
Heard about this this morning. Bummer. Makes me feel old (which I am!)

Yes, he did
Losing too many of the classic musicians lately.

I didn't realize he was also the singer in King Crimson.
Wow, I had not either. We are losing too many great musicians and other cultural figures. I have gotten so I hate to contribute to these threads. It is too sad!

It's a reminder that we, too, are getting older.
I remember my fourth grade teacher was a big fan of ELP and he used to bring in the albums for us to listen to during quiet reading time (on vinyl because it was that long ago). That's how I got hooked on the band. RIP, Mr. Lake.
Not Greg Lake here, but it's a fitting tribute. Besides, I love Chester Thompson on drums.
