As usual Rachel works her magic, always getting to the ethos of the music brilliantly!
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
Well, that was fun!

Excellent!
Two observations.
First, her voice has improved immensely over the years.
Second, I'm glad she's taking a little more liberty with the original. I've never seen much point in exact note-for-note covers except as technical showoffery.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Perhaps she's preparing for Carl's ELP 50th.....
If I wasn't paying really close attention, I'd swear it was Keith playing on a lot of it.
Wow - really great stuff. Is she playing every instrument? Very nice
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
She sure as hell isn't stagnating!

Truly brilliant! I am not going to criticizes her voice, the flute or if it sounds like a cover but give her all the praise she deserves, what Rachel did with Pirates cannot be easily achieved or replicated.
Hmm - Why don't you dudes give it a try to test your skills huh?
Keith may be gone but he sure left a young prodigy who was inspired by his genius and will follow his path - congrats, Bravo Rachel!!
Scuzi? I said nothing but good about young Ms. Flowers.

Very excited to see her perform live on the cruise in a few weeks!
All that was done on keyboards??! Sounds like Rachel's got the full orchestra + Carl in her studio. Amazing. Her precision regarding arrangements is just perfect. She completely "gets" the tune and how to support it with the various instruments & instrumental passages. Amazing again. Also I should say I like her voice a lot on this. I had never heard her sing before.
Two thoughts. First, does she have enough of these ELP covers now for a full CD? I would love to buy a copy. Second, she really needs to form a band. Maybe with Robert Berry? 3.3?
I'm guessing she played a real flute too. She does that.

Not to change the topic a bit, but did you catch this with Michael Sadler of Saga?

She anounced from the Progstock 2018 stage that there were CDs on sale at the lobby for that event, I'm sure there will be more on the Cruise next month. I did not buy so I don't know if those include her ELP covers, but I heard they are mostly acoustic recordings. I don't think she has a distributor setup quite yet.
It would be good to see her in a band but IMHO I think she still needs to gradually mature enough into a more professional level, she should take her time to develop.
