1823 Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Barbarian

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b2/ELP-ELP.jpg
From: Emerson, Lake & Palmer; Year: 1970; Genre: Progressive Rock
At some point yesterday I heard this song again and immediately knew I had my next pick. Throughout this rather interesting progressive rock arrangement of Béla Bartók's Allegro Barbaro, (BB 63), the trio literally put on a musician's clinic; all three of them kick some serious arsch on this one. As a musician this is one of those songs where you either get frustrated and think about quitting or you get thoroughly inspired; for me it's definitely the latter.

Hear The Barbarian on YouTube.
Watch a classic live performance on YouTube.
