what happened next
Emerson Lake and Palmer went on to be hugely successful and like all good rock bands had their inter-personal problems and called it a day in 1978. They did resurface in 1985 as Emerson Lake and Powell, replacing Palmer with the late Cozy Powell after Palmer decided to stay with the now successful 'supergroup' Asia. The original ELP did reform in 1992 and lasted until 1998 when more inter-personal problems finished them again. Emerson toured again with The Nice in 2003. Lake has his own band. Palmer is now back in Asia with its original line-up. Lake, of course, is responsible for one of the most popular Christmas songs ever, I Believe in Father Christmas                   

ELP reformed for the London High Voltage festival in 2010

Farm  Mick  Barnard went on to briefly join Genesis before being replace by Steve Hackett. Nigel Harrison went on to huge success with Blondie

Wishbone Ash  went on to huge success and as at 2015 Martin Turner and Andy Turner both tour different versions of Wishbone Ash.
