Question Mike,
During the early to mid seventies I performed a school play which had a sort of Rock / Disco / Funk version of Bach's Toccata & Fugue that was really awesome. A friend of the time said that it was by a band called Parliament and the song or album called Dr Funkenstein. I even bought Parliament's greatest hits album, but I could not find this tune. I've been searching for this since the 80's but had no luck...can you help?
Thanks
Hector
Answer I think you might have been misled - Emerson Lake & Palmer did a rocked-out version of this in the 70s, and that might be the version you're seeking. Here's an example of their rendition of the piece, from a live performance in 1974. See if this helps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6vN9nadqtQ
