The Nice soon fell apart, King Crimson made one LP with Greg Lake, but in April 1970 in view of this it made for. Along with Keith Emerson he was looking for a drummer.Some drummers passed the revue, including Mitch Mitchell, the drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience . Hendrix himself was also interested in the project, but the appointment was made to work in late 1970 to try out what was overtaken by the premature death of Hendrix. Emerson and Lake had already found a drummer, the 20-year-old Carl Palmer, who earlier in Atomic Rooster and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown played. The audition Palmer went well, here it clicked and ELP was born. British poppers was sitting on top, and there appeared several speculations about a group of "Hendrix, Emerson, Lake & Palmer".

The trio started rehearsing in London . The first own track ELP had developed "Take a Pebble". In July 1970 they went to the studio for the first recordings, the music that was made ​​was a mix of the rock of that time with jazz and classical music. The first album was titled simply "Emerson, Lake & Palmer". The production was in the hands of Greg Lake. From this record the song "Lucky Man" was released as a single.

The first performance of the band in August 1970, in the Guildhall in Plymouth, but the first big performance was immediately one of the biggest festivals: the three-day Isle of Wight Pop Music Festival , along with include the Who , Jimi Hendrix and Sly & the Family Stone . Despite their LP was not yet out, the music and the audience did not know, they had success. This is also the first time Pictures at an Exhibition played a (classical) suite of Modest Mussorgsky (although the ELP version was based on the orchestral version of Maurice Ravel ). End 1970, the LP came out.

On December 9, 1970 the implementation of "Pictures at an Exhibition" was recorded at London's Lyceum Theatre; However, registration would only be some time later released. In the spring of 1971 followed by a tour in the United States, which was a huge success, partly because the song "Lucky Man" was massively hear on the radio.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Even began before the tour started in 1971 with a new studio album, Tarkus. In February, the album was already finished. In England it became an instant hit. Before the project was started following the band wanted the live recordings from Pictures at an Exhibition on LP release. In England this happened immediately, but the American label with which they had a contract, Atlantic refused to release the LP because the quality would be insufficient. Only when the import of British big plate fell, Atlantic came back to this. Then it was the turn of ELP to uncooperative and ultimately was the arrival of the Director of Atlantic to England need to iron some things smooth and still get things done.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">In July 1972 came the album Trilogy, of which Greg Lake afterwards declared that he belonged to their best work. The fact is that for the recording was more than the time taken in connection with the complex and closely listening compositions. The group's success was at its peak. Per year now occurred 180 times, particularly many in North America. In Melody Maker 1972 ELP was chosen as the best group in the category of British / International acts. In 1972 began Peter Sinfield (also a former member of King Crimson) to assist Greg Lake in writing lyrics. ELP also founded his own music on, Manticore Records, for more artistic freedom guarantee. As of April 1973 Manticore was born. This label would be released music by other artists (including Peter Sinfield and Stray Dog). The first album, released on their own label Manticore was Brain Salad Surgery, in November 1973. Central to this LP was the long-drawn-out song "Karn Evil 9" in three movements, including the haunting text: "Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends ... "  Another striking number was on the LP "Toccata", an adaptation of the fourth part of the first piano concert of the Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera . Emerson himself was gone Ginastera to ask his permission, and anxiously he had heard the ELP version, which the composer unexpectedly positively responded "so my music should be played."

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">On April 6, 1974 ELP acted on his biggest audience (350,000 viewers) at the California Jam festival, along with other greats of the era such as Deep Purple , Black Sabbath , Earth, Wind and Fire and The Eagles . In August 1974 appeared the triple LP "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends ... Ladies and Gentlemen, Emerson, Lake & Palmer," filled with live recordings from their tour "Get Me A Ladder". ===After 1974 <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">After this tour, the group decided in 1974 to go out blow. A break was inserted, and the appointment was made three years not to act together and in the meantime each record a solo project. Keith Emerson started an ambitious project: a classical piano concert recording with the London Philharmonic . Greg Lake went along with Peter Sinfield started, they wrote perform acoustic songs with a symphony orchestra. Carl Palmer began a percussion concert and a number of songs including Joe Walsh of The Eagles.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">It would take until late 1976 before the members of the group again were going to take, individually and collectively. The recordings would lead to the double album Works Vol. I, with each side with a solo recordings plus one side with ELP work. This release was supported by an unprecedented ambitious tour throughout the US and Canada with a full symphony orchestra and a choir of 75 people. This was not only to bring high costs, but also all sorts of other problems such as the obligation to act in accordance with local union demands, up to three times per week. Especially the cost did the project undoing: although each concert was completely sold out, the band shot at in millions. After two weeks it was decided choir and orchestra to send home, and then the tour still continue for several weeks as a trio, with which the financial loss was offset somewhat. In 1977 also comes Works Vol. II off, showing a number of additional songs from the Works sessions. Then wanted the band members all go back to work on solo projects, but their record they still forced to make a studio album, as foreseen by the contract. Love Beach, the result is a disjointed and uninspired piece of work, each of the band members has distanced himself afterwards. The chemistry in the band was worked out, and they went out together.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Keith Emerson started writing film music.

Carl Palmer formed a new, own band, PM and later played in Asia with Steve Howe ( Yes, guitar), John Wetton ( King Crimson , bass and vocals) and Geoff Downes ( Buggles , keyboard). Greg Lake replaced Wetton for a short time during a tour.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">In the time that Palmer played for Asia came between Emerson and Lake again a collaboration. With another drummer Cozy Powell (former Jeff Beck Group , Rainbow , Whitesnake ) was recorded an LP in 1986.The subsequent tour, however, flopped and in October of the same year the band falls apart. In 1987 Palmer Asia and he is left with Emerson and singer Robert Berry Three band, whose 1988 album To The Power Of 3 appears. The album was followed by a tour, this time a success, but were disappointing sales the reason everyone again went his own way. ===The nineties and later <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Only in 1991 were Emerson, Lake and Palmer together again driven by Phil Carson of Victory Records, the album Black Moon released.
