The Story Behind: Emerson Lake and Palmer - Tarkus, Ep 126

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Emerson Lake and Palmer met while touring individually in other successful groups, then formed prog rock's first supergroup. Tarkus is a concept album for a future that has yet to manifest. The fellows welcome a special guest and discuss virtuosity, over the top drum kits, and the history of progressive music.
