    Stumbled on this by accident, but here I get to see the wonderful Dave Gallant, a truly good guy! I was a proud member of the Armada. This box set was long overdue (I hope 3 get one as well), but I am still angry that the complete radio show from Lakeland isn’t on here. It’s missing three songs from the broadcast (I still have my cassette recording). I’d love to know why they dropped the ball on that!

    How does the studio sound? I'm hoping the remaster might improve the sonics.

    • @davegallant9764
      @davegallant9764 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To my ears, it sounds warmer. Greg's vocals are crisp. One some songs, Keith's keyboards sound even more delicate (on Lay Down Your Guns, for example). And Cozy is even more of a monster on drums in places. But as an old rock and roller, I do have slightly diminished hearing, so finding more online reviews may help to put you at ease with the purchase. For me, it is simply nice to have all of their content in one place.

    Thank you for your uploading. I agree that it has stood the test of time, may not be the best work of ELP but still I like most of the tunes. "Touch and Go" was one of the highlights among the tunes that ELP played at their last live performance (High Voltage Festival, London in 2010) and I thank them having played the tune on that day.

    Great overview/unboxing Dave. Folks, if you''re not familiar with Dave's Asia book you should be, it is required reading for fans of ELP, Yes, King Crimson, and of course Asia (it was a great source of info for my own ELP book). Dave is much to humble to admit how much work he did to keep the Asia fire(s) burning during the John Payne years when things were quite lean in the Asia camp; the regular Asia newsletter at the time (The Asian Armada) was sent out like clockwork by and never failed to keep us apprised of all necessary happenings. Here's Dave interview with Greg copied/pasted from John Arnold' ELP Digest archive - *********************** Greg Lake Tapes *********************** Dave: Hi Greg! Give me an update. What's happening with the ELP summer tour of North America with Jethro Tull? Greg: The tour begins the 18th of August, and rehearsals start the first of August. Dave: I'll be seeing you at the Toronto date. I believe your first date is in New York? Greg: It may be, I don't know. They don't tell me anything (laughs). Dave: You just show up and play the bass... Greg: I do. Actually I just follow the guy who's wearing the tour manager's hat (laughs). Dave: I understand that Ian Anderson has had some health problems recently. Do you know if that has been settled? Greg: I understand he's been straightened up, yeah. He's OK. Dave: And, you have plans to go onto Japan after the North American leg? Greg: We're doing a couple of weeks in Japan, and then I don't know. I think there's some discussions going on about some more dates, but I'm not sure. Dave: How will the shows work with Tull? Greg: I believe that we'll be opening the show, but we'll also be doing some collaborative stuff as well. It should be a nice show. Dave: It would be nice to hear Ian's flute on some classic ELP tracks. Greg: Wouldn't it though? Dave: Does Keith's recent health problems have anything to do with the fact that you will act as an opening band, and not headline yourself? Greg: Keith had an arm operation, and I think he feels it's more comfortable to play for an hour, than to play for two and a half hours to start with. And that was one of the reasons that we thought this was a good thing to do. Dave: Do you have any solo plans in mind at the moment? Greg: After the tour I'm going to be working on a solo album, which would take me through to early next year. Then I hope to go on the road. Dave: Any definite plans for the solo project? Greg: I do have some plans, but I hate to talk about them so early because it's such a long time from the release. Then if the plans change... Dave: I certainly hope that you have the opportunity to stop by Toronto, because we'll be very happy to see you here. Greg: Oh, I'm sure I will. Canada has always been good to me. It's a good place for music generally. Dave: Will you be taking your favorite carpet along on tour? Greg: I probably will! Dave: What kind of material can we expect to see on the upcoming tour? Greg: I think we try and play the music that people want to hear. We try to get through as much of it as we can in the time we've got. The final set list is never put together until the rehearsals. It would be really nice to play some stuff that we haven't played in the past. Dave: A subscriber of mine wanted me to ask what you thought was the best song that you had ever written. Greg: It's like when you say that someone's got six children, and you ask which is the favorite. I suppose from the point of view of sheer innocent song-writing, coming out good and being popular, 'Lucky Man' would be hard to beat. But in terms of the art of songwriting, I think a song called 'Closer To Believing' that Pete Sinfield and I wrote would stand in my mind as something that I would be proud of. Dave: In the song-writing vein, what is the process for writing some of the epics that you've written such as 'Pirates'? Do the words come first, or the music? Greg: It can be either way. Once the process is under way, then it is a reflective process. In the case of 'Pirates', Keith came up with this little bit of music. He thought, when he wrote it, of mercenary soldiers in South Africa. But it didn't sound like mercenary soldiers in South Africa. It sounded like the sea. In the prelude to 'Pirates', the music sounds like the sea. It didn't sound like the jungle. Then we thought 'Who were the mercenaries of the sea? The Pirates.' We did a lot of research. Pete Sinfield and myself ordered all the books that had ever been written on pirates, and all the films on pirates and we locked ourselves away for three weeks. We watched them all, and read all the books. We absorbed all this stuff. And then we got started, and the whole piece got written that way. It's not very popular, but it's a bloody shame. I've always wondered why it was never really that popular. Dave: Tell me about the project you did with Geoff Downes called 'Ride The Tiger'. Greg: It was really Geoff and I deciding to write some songs together. In a way, we got lost in the technology. It was at a time when the technology was going through some dramatic changes. We wrote some songs, and actually spent months programming and setting up a midi system. In the end, what happened was Geoff went off to do other things, and I eventually did the Black Moon ELP reunion. Dave: 'Affairs of the Heart' came from those sessions? Greg: From that period, yeah. Dave: And the Asia album 'AQUA' contained the song 'Love Under Fire'... Greg: That's right. That was a nice song. Dave: When I spoke with Geoff recently, he mentioned that an early version of the song 'Street Wars' came up during those sessions. I assume that you changed it radically before it appeared on 'In The Hot Seat'? Greg: I used the lyric, and Keith wrote a whole new programming thing for it. I think Geoff's versions was better. It had more sincerity. I thought the lyric was good, and that's why I wanted to use it. If you played the two versions, you wouldn't recognize them. Looking back on it, I prefer the version that Geoff and I did. It was highly empassioned. Dave: How much material did the two of you actually write together? Greg: I don't know ... a half a dozen songs? A lot of music, though. Dave: I assume that the material will likely remain in the vaults? Greg: Sometimes it resurfaces many years later. But I tend to feel that music is a spontaneous thing. By the time I've done something, and it's six months old, it's not like wine. Good records will endure, but when you write something - if it doesn't find it's legs fairly quickly, it tends not to do so, and is often best forgotten. Dave: What were the circumstances surrounding your brief time with Asia in 1993? Greg: They needed someone on very short notice to replace John (Wetton). And Carl knew basically that I could do it. It was an easy thing for him to call me up to do it. To that extent it was fine. I went into the band, but they guy I really got on with was Geoff. But the band was a mess really, at that time. We had a meeting about me joining the band, but it just didn't work out. Dave: Getting back to ELP, had there been any talk of a new album resulting from this reunion? Greg: You never really know. I don't think any of us were happy with 'In The Hot Seat'. It was made in a difficult time, under difficult circumstances, and I don't think any of us really wanted to make it. And then Keith had his arm problems, and it didn't really work out. I think if the tour goes well, if everyone's happy on the tour, you never know. So I would always leave the possibility for that open. Dave: I appreciate your time, Greg. Thank you very much. Greg: Take care!
