My husband and I saw the show at Omokkolee Casino in Florida and loved it! Carl Palmer is an amazing drummer and the lead and base guitarist are great! So much talent! Really enjoyed seeing Emerson and Lake perform on the big screen with Palmer playing live with them. So nice to see Palmer playing with his buddies again. Fantastic show.
Very good concert Carl conversed with the audience and played very well!!
I saw and heard ELP live in the Chicago Ampitheatre in the 1970's (before it was torn down) They had the quadriphonic speaker set-up then - that's (1) set of huge speakers in each corner of the stadium. When Kieth Emerson programed his MOOG synthesizer to whirl around the speakers, the stadium shook. It was really 'cool.' Seeing Lake do "Lucky Man"& "In the Beginning"brought me back many years. Palmer was EXCELLENT! I hope I'm in as good of shape as he is - he is older than me! God Bless - great show!
This had so much potential; but failed. All you can hear are the drums. Expectation was it was Palmer playing along to videos of Emerson and Lake but it wasn't. He had two guitarists with him, one of whom made his guitar sound like an organ and played Emerson's parts, only you couldn't hear it, all you heard was Palmer's drum kit. Maybe this was one of the first shows in the tour and the sound balance hadn't been worked out yet? I don't know. People were leaving before it was over.
Listening to Carl play brought back so many good memories, especially with the accompanied videos. I just wish there had been some video's of Welcome Back my Friends as the audio of 4 channel was truly amazing. All the 3 players were incredibly talented. Don't miss this show if you ever liked ELP. It was fantastic.
I thought that what Carl Palmer did to pay tribute to Keith Emerson and Greg Lake.
Having had to sit through an hour+ of a multi media show with Palmer's deceased bandmates and a truly self indulgent 15 minutes of drumming by Palmer himself, I was not impressed. Fitzpatrick, a guitarist on stage, did a beautiful solo with the chapman stick that was exceptional. At the end of the night, Palmer finally graced us with ELP's hits, but by that time, I was ready to leave
What an amazing show! Carl Palmer is still, at 73, one of the best drummers around. He is also an engaging personality who clearly revels in his time with ELP and misses Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. I saw him about a year ago with his band of excellent musicians; I enjoyed that show, but nobody could duplicate Greg Lake's unique voice or Keith Emerson's keyboards. This time, his band was supplemented with audio and video from a late '80s concert, with Carl playing along live. The sound was superb, and, while it wasn't exactly like seeing ELP all playing together live, it was a pretty good facsimile. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and would see them again if I had the opportunity.
Iāve been a fan of Elp since the 1960s Iāve seen them team times when they were all together and Iāve been a follower and Iāve met personally Carl Palmer at one of his drum clinics four years ago. The show was absolutely spectacular Carl Palmer at 73 is in better shape now and is probably better now on the drums and heās ever Been ā¦ I was absolutely excited and walked away with a huge smile on my face and so appreciative of everybody that brought this magnificent show I want to see it again!! Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends Emerson Lake and Palmer!šŖš¹ā¤ļø
Carl Palmer and his band blew the roof off of the Parker Playhouse. His tribute to his band mates Keith Emerson and Greg Lake (both deceased) was tastefully done and a well conceived and performed beautifully.
Excellent music and extraordinary musicians , specially Carl Palmer drums like a super profesional youāre adult I really enjoyed the concert
I enjoyed the show. 1971 my very first concert was ELP Asbury Park Convention Center and again at MSG!
I had no idea I was attending a drum show. Carl Palmer is an incredible drummer, but his drums were overpowering everything else throughout the entire show. Yes, he is an astonishing musician, amazingly so for his age. But the others in the band were some of the best musicians to perform. Also, there were a lot of old videos and soundtracks. Even with as much ELP material they covered, I felt they didn't cover some of their best stuff. Compared to other "cover"bands of old-time groups, this was different, good in many ways, but too much Carl and not enough ELP. Yes, I did enjoy it and appreciated it for what it was.
Carl Palmer and his 2 fabulous guitar gentlemen were utterly sensational. Carl is one of the best elite drummers of all time.
Great concert! Carl Palmer has amazing energy and dexterity for a 73-year old. Loved the old video takes of Emerson and Lake, but also enjoyed the 2 younger band members and the new versions of old favorite songs.. A Win-Win situation.
Nice presentation of history of ELP. Keith Emerson and Greg Lake videos added to show
Despite some minor technical problems, This show was a terrific performance as well as a poignant tribute to two of the greatest prog rock heroes ever. Now 73 years old, Carl Palmer can still cook up a blazing drum solo that rivals those from ELPs glory days. His two outstanding musicians complimented him perfectly and took musical bows of their own riffing on classic ELP tunes. Carl even sang a tune that was never performed live, all while drumming away! For those who cherish the memory of this immortal supergroup, this is the concert for you.
Sadly, I missed my opportunity to see the original ELP in August 1977. I made a bad lifestyle decision the night before. My older brother told me all about the show in Phoenix the next day. I have always wanted to see them perform especially during the 70's. It's so cool that Carl is still carrying on the legacy especially after the recent a-fib health scare. I really appreciated his energy and humor. Truthfully, I did not feel like I was at an ELP concert. But I did enjoy the more familiar songs done by Carl and the two young guys. Kinda nice showing photos and old video footage of Keith and Greg at the Royal Albert Hall on the large screens during the show. I just wish it was more interactive. Carl joked around that we were not seeing holograms, but that would have been very cool. The standout songs for me: 1) Karn Evil 9 1st Impression, Part 2 OF COURSE!!! That is the way to open. 2) Hoedown 3) Knife-Edge 4) Take a Pebble 5) Benny the Bouncer 7) Tarkus 10) From the Beginning 12) Lucky Man and the grand finale with the extended version of Fanfare for the Common Man. Truly wish they would have played ALL of the 1973 Brain Salad Surgery album as this show is being promoted as the 50th anniversary. I can understand if the band grows tired of playing the same songs night after night or perhaps these 3 could not musically pull off the songs: Jerusalem, Toccata, Still You Turn Me On and Karn Evil 9 pt 1. I could have done without the filler songs that featured the two young very competent guys. But I understand if Carl needs to go back stage to rest. I appreciated his words before each song. The crowd was so forgiving and understanding when Carl paused the show for 10 minutes due to equipment failure. The lighting was good, I always appreciate a darkened show without spotlights blinding me every few seconds. The sound was slightly too loud especially during the high notes. Not good when the sound level is not clean. Distortion kills a show for me. The venue was cool, it has that outdoorsy feel yet still protected from the elements. Every seat has a good view. Ample parking. Sadly, the venue was only half filled. This is definitely not the ELP during their heyday when they would fill huge stadiums. Carl was grateful to the audience, he and the staff repeatedly thanked us for coming out. But I did appreciate a not crowded or wild venue for a change. Looking around I quickly noticed the median age being about 60. We are not the wild bunch we once were. But most of us still remember the songs and joy it brought us. But it was still reassuring to see armed police on the steps of both sides of the stage in this day of craziness. Security is money well spent. ELP's first 4 studio albums will always stand the test of time. Here's to the mighty supergroup of the 70's. Come inside, come inside. Time to lose track of time by going to YouTubeLand to relive the greatness.
What a flashback experience! Carl was amazing and his two guitarists were fantastic! Crowd was small but the music and sound was spot on! Perfect venue in my opinion. Brian of Fort Wayne
Play songs you are known for! Donāt play stuff most people donāt know. It also was way too loud for a very small crowd . We attend a lot of Concerts and it doesnāt need to be that loud. It was NOT enjoyable and we left after almost an hour.
