Posted the original version a while back. Found this more recent cover by Greg Lake sounds really good.

Sorry... but I wouldn't exactly call it a "cover" when he wrote the song to begin with... :facepalm:

He had one of the most beautiful male voices in Rock ever, as far as I'm concerned... back from the days of King Crimson, too... but it's gone now, and it has been for quite a while. Sadly. (his looks didn't age too well, either)

I actually walked out of the last ELP 'reunion' concert, when he started started to sing "Take a Pebble", and had a smoke (ha!!) it was always one of my faves I just couldn't bear to listen to it...

Then 2 of the original KC members left and put out one album... (Ian McDonald later went on to form Foreigner with Mick Jones)




This isn't one of my fave songs, but I chose it when I noticed this comment... LOL!!

Really brilliant masterpiece, slight influence of early years Van Der Graaf Generator I can hear on this, very pleasant for me ;-) Furthemore there is some KC resonances... Never hear before - what a mistake!!

I bought the "Freak Out" album when it 1st came out... I was 12 yrs. old... Ha!!
So by the time the 2nd one, "Absolutely Free", was out I had turned 13, and this song made my Mother run screaming into the room demanding to know what I was listening to.... LMAO!!!

"But back in the bed his teen-age queen
Is rocking and rolling and acting obscene..."

"Only thirteen, and she knows how to nasty"

(and NO, I didn't... yet!! ;) )

My mom liked Jethro Tull and the Who's 'Tommy' LP, and actually went to see a Tull concert with me!! (I think it was the Stand Up tour...) She wanted to see the Who, but I told her they weren't quite the same in concert... so I took her to see the movie when it first came out.. Ha!!

She even had a canary that would stand on one leg when it sang, so she named it Ian, after Ian Anderson in Tull... :facepalm:
