By the end of 1969, the Nice keyboardist Keith Emerson and King Crimson bassist/vocalist Greg Lake were looking to leave their respective groups and form a new band. The pair first met in New York City and discussed the possibility of forming one together; they met again in December 1969 when the Nice and King Crimson were billed together for concerts at the Fillmore West in San Francisco.
A video version of the concerts was released on DVD, VHS, and LaserDisc in 1996. It has a slightly different running order (closer to the actual setlist for the tour) [6] and contains three songs not included on the CD ("From the Beginning", "Honky Tonk Train Blues" and "Pictures at an Exhibition"), but omits "Still...You Turn Me On" and "Black Moon".

Although the song stood out as an obvious single choice, Emerson, Lake & Palmer did not choose it for a single release. There were two reasons: that drummer Carl Palmer did not play on the song and also that it was the least representative of the album or the group's general sound. [3]
The song was written in the key of A minor. [2] It is driven by an acoustic guitar line with layers of electric guitar (both rhythm and lead), electric bass guitar, and sung by Lake, with some backing on drums (played by Carl Palmer with congas, tympani mallets and without cymbals), and with a distinctive closing synthesizer solo from Keith Emerson, accompanied by overdubbed synthesizer sounds.
