Thank you for posting this wonderful concert I was there but never thought I'd see it AGAIN. I am only a couple of years younger than Carl Palmer so I appreciation level to you who posted this my deepest gratitude and again thank you my heart and soul. I've played drums my whole life and still at 68 years old even though I see them 45 years ago give or take trust me folks the man gave it up. Thank you ELP thank you too the bassist and guitarist and thank you who posted this for the inspiration. I think I'll go say hello to my drum 🥁 kit. ❤️✌️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Chills, Tears, Joy, Such a moment . Thank You Carl for touring this. Keith and Greg are soo sorely missed but at the least we still have Carl and all the music !
I agree. Saw them on their first tour in San Diego. Sadly only 1900 showed up. BUT, when they came back the show sold out in hours. I arrived at the SD Sports Arena after work and there was already a line. Like you I miss the boys. I did see a great concert with them on April 6, 1974 at Ontario Motor Speedway.
Thank you! I saw Carl, Paul, and Simon a few times, and they were my last concert in Philly before I retired to Spain. And I saw ELP a few times, the last in '97 which it looks like the Fanfare medley footage came from. This is a reminder of just how great they were, and Carl still is!
You have to see it and enjoy it for what it is, Carl Palmer still pounding away at the drums in his 70s, paying tribute to the band that he was in. This is no more of a rape of the old band than ABBA and their avatars are. For what it is it's still enjoyable, I think all the ELP fans in the audience would agree, especially if you love the music.
Triste é estar na sepultura. Este homem ainda é um fenômeno com a idade avançada. Se eu estiver com essas capacidades quando tiver a idade dele, serei um homem muito feliz!
Fantastic I saw the 3 of them in the UK amazing but without the backing videos ect however what a show it was in Devizes hoping that this will come to the UK
My favorite drummer for decades. I first saw ELP and Carl live for the first time February 5th, 1978 . It was a triumphant WORKS show minus the orchestra . It was the last ELP show that I witnessed the massive CARL Palmer drum riser ascend through the hazy canabis sativa exhalation layers to the adulation of us mere yet bousterous concert Palmer punters! So now I observed this very recent performance and immediately noticed only two obvious differences with Carl's playing at this show versus that initial 2/5/ 1978, performance 46 years 41 days ago: 1.) The custumized steel drum kit was sold many yeaes ago; The drum riser was discontinued. Oh...and One more- he dosen't grab a bell chord with his teeth, and ring that overhead bell anymore... LOL Well, what about his now 46 years as a drummer since that pre-blizzard 2/5 /1978 concert classic - 1000's of high standard peak performances since, yet Carl continues on with the ability to maintain consistent quality until now- how can that be at his age?! EASY! I have seen Carl in ELP, in ASIA, 3, and for the last 12 years the ELP legacy- the energy, the intensity, and Carl's adept playing ability - unchanged! He defies his age, Father time can't keep up and maybe he even challenges a few physical natural laws once again on that kit.... as usual ! Carl IS the " Endless Enigma," of drumming ! Come to think of it, I just turned 68. I will definitely have to start working out more so at my next Palmer ELP Legacy show, I will be able to keep up with him! Good bless that Atomic Rooster, C A R L P A L M E R , and the show that never ends! Come and see the show!
I was at this tour in London and it was brilliant, not quite as much BSS as I wanted, but excellent all round performances! So I will go to this if they play the U.K.
I hope this sounded a lot better live. I’m happy for Carl but wondering if this was such a good idea. Like I said I hope it was great live as the quality is somewhat painful to watch here . I’m 72 and absolutely loved ELP. Even today Lucky Man still gives me chills to listen to it.
He once said in an interview that it's no special energy that drives him to do what he does,he stated it is simply how he plays.In other words he's a natural.It's in his blood.
I wish Carl Palmer would do an informercial on whatever supplements he takes to perform like that at his age. Most people his age are lucky to use the toilet unassisted!
I wish Carl would put a big band together and do some jazz. He swings his ass off, and he's one of the greatest there ever was behind the drums. This is repetitive when measured against what he's capable of doing.
I recant. At his age, Carl Palmer should do whatever the hell he wants. Whether I think it's repetitive that he keeps the ELP flame alive is my problem, certainly not his. He's phenomenal, no matter what he's playing.
Grandiosos!...tengo 70 años y los escucho desde mi adolescencia ....dentro de las 15 mejores bandas de todos los tiempos....❤....desde la Argentina...saludos.....✌️
Good job, but I guess he couldn't find anyone who could play keyboards like Keith Emerson. Keith was one of the best rock keyboardists ever, and an idol of mine.
Thanks for the video, Bill! I've watched several videos of this tour and I've noticed that the sound of the show is really bad not for the fault of the cell phone recording. The sound technicians are doing a terrible job and Carl Palmer, who is the boss, seems to have no refinement or concern for this. The drums are extremely loud compared to the boys. And sounding like a shoebox . He really doesn't sound remotely like the BRILLIANT AND REFINED drummer from Brain Salad Surgery. He now sounds like an louder rocker drummer. If Carl Palmer had at least played with that wonderful 1970's drum kit with concert toms, this show would have been worth watching. These boys who play with him are VERY good musicians and could be better explored and better equalized. They are really good and underrated! But, there is no musical cohesion because of Carl Palmer, who seems forget about the music and only care about getting the audience's attention all the time, like a teenager.
Creo que nunca compuso nada, o quizás solo colaboró. Y todo lo que hizo después de ELP, como PM (q el mismo Palmer dijo que era basura) o Three (intento de música comercial q integró c/Keith Emerson y Robert Berry, proyecto del cual Emerson se arrepintió mas tarde), y sacando Asia, no duró nada (insisto, reconocido por el mismo Palmer). Por eso sigue haciendo la música de ELP y en su momento siguió de gira con Asia. Si ves Spotify, prácticamente no hay nada de Palmer, y sí hay mucho de Emerson y Lake post ELP.
@@AlexandraOcampo-r9u Puede hacerlo porque es un músico capaz, no tiene porque seguir con el rock progresivo, podría improvisar y grabar o juntarse con improvisadores. La improvisación es composición espontánea. Esta cayendo en el mismo robo que Roger Waters, refritandose así mismo con glorias pasadas.
@@alejandrobustos2268 exacto!! Creo q solo hizo algo con Mike Oldfield y alguno más, pero no hay gran obra dentro de su carrera. Y además se negó a reunirse con Keith y Greg para una gira despedida de ELP luego de High Voltage. Es una lástima, como baterista es extraordinario; imaginate si se hubiese juntado con Rachel Flowers, por ejemplo!!!
@@AlexandraOcampo-r9u Alan White, que tampoco era un baterista muy prolifico en cuanto a composición se refiere, al menos grabó un disco solista y un muy interesante álbum experimental con David Torn donde lo escuchamos en una faceta más riesgosa. Yo lo vi a Carl Palmer en vivo personalmente con este Power trío y no me transmitió nada. Técnicamente es virtuoso pero extrañamente, no utiliza las dinámicas, le pega fuertisimo a la batería. Esa vez dejo los parches de una batería a estrenar totalmente inutilizables, los destruyó a todos, inclusive los de los bombos! Lo pude constatar de primera mano porque me subí al escenario y estuve a centímetros de su batería. Aun con toda esa energía no me movió un pelo. Soy baterista hace 39 años y admiro a bateristas como Bill Bruford, Christian Vander y Neil Peart por nombrar algunos progresivos. Aparte, pretender mostrar la música de ELP a nuevas generaciones sin usar teclados es contraproducente. Es como querer mostrar la música que hacía Allan Holdsworth usando un ukelele.
@@alejandrobustos2268 mirá, no puedo estar más de acuerdo con vos. Yo lo vi la última vez q vino a Argentina y no me transmitió nada tampoco. Aparte, que es eso de un guitarrista replicando nada menos que a Keith Emerson??? La base del sonido de ELP eran los teclados de Emerson!!! Palmer es muy veloz, tiene mucha técnica pero de ahí a destruir los parches para querer demostrar que con +70 por uede tocar como a los 2O y tantos es ridículo. Lo leí hace poco en una entrevista, cuando dijo que la gente quiere que toque como si tuviera 18 años. No, sorry, no me va. Estuve viendo vía You Tube partes de este seudo "retorno" de ELP y no me gustó ni medio. Aparte Keith y Greg no aparecen todo el tiempo en las pantallas, sin contar q el footage es el Royal Albert Hall, un concierto extraordinario y que vi miles de veces, más un surtido de imágenes/videos de ambos que andan por la web (al menos lo vi cuando sale Keith haciendo Creole Dance, una exigencia que le puso la familia de Emerson antes de dar el visto bueno). Y tenés razón, mostrar la música de ELP a nuevas generaciones sin teclados no va. Por eso muchos dicen que debió llevar a Rachel Flowers, que es un prodigio interpretando la música del inigualable Keith. Así como Alan White grabó un disco solista, Neil Peart, además de ser una bestia con los parches, componía todas las letras de Rush. Y no hablar de Cozy Powell, una espina q hasta hoy Palmer tiene atragantada. Vivió solo 50 años, era un baterista impresionante, grabó 66 discos con los mejores, e incluso hizo trabajos solistas. Creo que Carl Palmer debería bajar la guardia. Hace más de 20 años q toca la música de ELP, y sacando Asia, todo lo q hizo post ELP fue desastroso (incluso reconocido por él mismo). No así Keith y Greg. En suma, Carl Palmer tiene q estar entre los mejores bateristas de la historia, porq en los 70 era extraordinario, no tenía competencia, un icono de la percusión. Te diría q hasta el 77. Medio q después fue declinando y lo mejor eran sus solos. Por eso, hoy no lo iría a ver.
Saw ELP in late April 1971 at the Spectrum in Philly. Triple bill. T-Rex opened and they were great. Then ELP came out and just blew everybody away! Headliners, Procol Harum then got booed by thousands who screamed ELP ELP!! Everybody wanted them to come back out, of course they couldn’t. PH was wonderful but very boring to watch after ELP. They just stood there and played. Nobody could beat ELP’s showmanship and musical expertise. I’ll see this presentation of Carl’s on March 1, 2025. Can’t wait!!
Phil used drugs and was an alcoholic, whilst Carl kept fit and practised Drumming whereas Phil became lazy and was unable to play the complex Music from the 70s albums, sad but unfortunately true, money is a bad master 😢
@@DLMammone Yes he got that illness with the nerve too. If you research his practice dropped off when Genesis began playing more simple Music 🎶, therefore his playing obviously suffered, although he was still superb until the 90s. Steve even chose Chester and Bill to play on his Genesis revisited project's. Not knocking Phil, no one came close in his heydays but drugs and booze to the extent that he was drinking is bad news.
As much as I love Carl and ELP...this is a little too much to bear. Sorry. There are times when trying to stay relevant just seems desperate. I think this is a prime example of this. RIP Keith and Greg. 🙏
Always thought it was a classy move that zeppelin called it quits after Bonham passed, same as Rush. I know he tried some solo stuff at one time, as a musician you would think he would want to explore other things instead of regurgitating the same thing over and over. Playing with 30 year old videos of Keith and Greg is just creepy. I saw ELP in 1972 and that's the way I'd like to remember them.
Saw em 3 times from they’re first tour until like maybe two years ago at three different venues and it just doesn’t work. You definitely need keyboards, piano and vocals. Carl Palmer is still excellent but this trio doesn’t sound right. I’d rather see CP sit in for Led Zep or Rush…❤
Carl. One admires your determination to keep the spirit of ELP alive, but this, at least for me, doesn't do it. Now if you collaborated with Rachel Flowers, that would be something worth watching!
Agreed....This is such a travesty....This trio w/ guit and bass is a joke gone bad....NO wonder people rag on old prog rock... this just stinks... "Rachel?""" c'mon...
@@1adneumann at least someone who say something many of us think!!! I was almost banned from some ELP groups in FB for saying that I would never see this show. Seems Carl Palmer is untouchable; you can be a fan, but also recognise if the artist does not well. OK, Carl Palmer has been an EXTRAORDINARY drummer in the 70s, I liked him a lot with Asia, but I can't see this. Even The Beatles got heavy criticism back in the 60s when they released the Magical Mystery Tour movie. After watching several videos of this "return" , I decided not to see this. I saw ELP live twice here in Argentina in the 90s, I saw several entire live performances in the videos (including the Royal Albert Hall), so I prefer to remember them as they were: a unique, brilliant band. And no keys... Paul Bielatowicz is an amazing player, bit you can't show ELP music to new generations without keyboards. The base of ELP music was Keith's brilliancy on the keys. So Rachel Flowers could have been an accurate addition to this tribute. Because IMHO, it's not a "return", it's a tribute (which btw Carl has been doing for at least 20 years, only that this time he added screen footage of something I saw thousand of times). So, sorry Carl, thanks for keeping ELP legacy alive, loved you in the 70s, loved you with Asia, you should be ranked as one of the top 10 best drummers in history... but this is definitely not my cup of tea...
Pretty sure Carl has trained in martial arts, and continues to the present day. In an interview, he mentioned how heavy his diet is in vegetables. All those things help.
It is antiquated technology seen here; probably to keep tour expenses at a minimum. And, quite frankly. what started it all is from the late 1990s......Elvis: The Concert and subsequent World Tour. Nothing has come close since -- and that includes the dabbling in hologram "guest appearances" and "shows" with on-stage musicians.
@@richardcorenoI saw that concert. That was good because the whole concert had video of him and all of the original band members were playing. At first, when heared about this I was upset that this tour wasn't coming to my area. Now, I really don't care.
I saw this trio 3 times and it’s just not right, keyboards and vocals are necessary, Carl Palmer is still excellent but this way to try and emulate ELP doesn’t cut it.
Let me try to understand this…..You buy tickets for, what might be, one of the last times to see Palmer and hear ELP-music and you miss everything because you have to hold your phone up, check if it records correct…and all you get is lousy sound and terrible images..wow, how smart is that…😂😂😂
I saw ELP twice here in Argentina in the 90s, and I don't need to say they were absolutely brilliant. I saw Palmer with Asia as well, in 2007 and with his band in 2017. I watched the entire Royal Albert Hall concert on video thousand of times, a perfect performance, the footage displayed in those screens, which are still in You Tube. I am a huge long time ELP fan, but I wouldn't see this show. I saw many parts of it via video many times, and, I'm sorry, I don't like it. I am not criticizing, simply I don't like it, I don't feel is "the return of ELP". Pay to see screens or just watch Palmer play... No way, I prefer to have the three of them in my memory and watch many great videos in You Tube where even Carl Palmer was extraordinary. I have many friends, big ELP fans, and they told they wouldn't see this concert. It's perfectly OK Carl Palmer continues with the legacy (in fact he's been doing it for at least 20 years), but sorry, this is not my thing.
This is awesome Carl Palmer tribute to the legendary Emerson lake and palmer so sadly missed R.I.P Keith Emerson Greg lake
I like it, but Emerson and Lake could be a bit louder in the mix, or Palmer turned down a bit.
Carl can still kill it on the kit.Thank God I had the pleasure and blessing to see them live.Thank ELP
Thank you for posting this wonderful concert I was there but never thought I'd see it AGAIN. I am only a couple of years younger than Carl Palmer so I appreciation level to you who posted this my deepest gratitude and again thank you my heart and soul.

To my, and not only my, regret, out of the entire fantastic ELP group there is only one giant of progressive rock left, many years to you, Carl !!!
Carl Palmer is the best of the bests
Chills, Tears, Joy, Such a moment . Thank You Carl for touring this. Keith and Greg are soo sorely missed but at the least we still have Carl and all the music !
I agree. Saw them on their first tour in San Diego. Sadly only 1900 showed up. BUT, when they came back the show sold out in hours. I arrived at the SD Sports Arena after work and there was already a line.
Like you I miss the boys. I did see a great concert with them on April 6, 1974 at Ontario Motor Speedway.
❤This is so wonderful to see Carl and musicians perform ELP music live again! Just superb!❤
Historic, Epic Carl Palmer AT 74!!!, God bless!!! Unfathomable. I think you tired out the younger guys.
Thank you! I saw Carl, Paul, and Simon a few times, and they were my last concert in Philly before I retired to Spain. And I saw ELP a few times, the last in '97 which it looks like the Fanfare medley footage came from. This is a reminder of just how great they were, and Carl still is!
I think the footage is the 92 tour!
WOW talk about making Lemonaid out of lemons. Yes those guy are gone, but what an ingenious presentation! LOVE this..
Fantastic, so much appreciation and love, keep rocking, and dang Carl u look like your 22 pounding away, so cool.
Always loved that tone on that ride cymbal :-)
You have to see it and enjoy it for what it is, Carl Palmer still pounding away at the drums in his 70s, paying tribute to the band that he was in. This is no more of a rape of the old band than ABBA and their avatars are. For what it is it's still enjoyable, I think all the ELP fans in the audience would agree, especially if you love the music.
I saw ELP back in the day in all their glory. This is sad.
agreed
Triste é estar na sepultura. Este homem ainda é um fenômeno com a idade avançada. Se eu estiver com essas capacidades quando tiver a idade dele, serei um homem muito feliz!
Fantastic
I saw the 3 of them in the UK amazing but without the backing videos ect however what a show it was in Devizes
hoping that this will come to the UK
My favorite drummer for decades.
I first saw ELP and Carl live for the first time February 5th, 1978 . It was a triumphant WORKS show minus the orchestra .
It was the last ELP show that I witnessed the massive CARL Palmer drum riser ascend through the hazy canabis sativa exhalation layers to the adulation of us mere yet bousterous concert Palmer punters!
So now I observed this very recent performance and immediately noticed only two obvious differences with Carl's playing at this show versus that initial
2/5/ 1978, performance 46 years 41 days ago:
1.) The custumized steel drum kit was sold many yeaes ago;
The drum riser was discontinued.
Oh...and One more- he dosen't grab a bell chord with his teeth, and ring that overhead bell anymore... LOL
Well, what about his now 46 years as a drummer since that pre-blizzard 2/5 /1978 concert classic - 1000's of high standard peak performances since, yet Carl continues on with the ability to maintain consistent quality until now- how can that be at his age?!
EASY!
I have seen Carl in ELP, in ASIA, 3, and for the last 12 years the ELP legacy- the energy, the intensity, and Carl's adept playing ability - unchanged! He defies his age, Father time can't keep up and maybe he even challenges a few physical natural laws once again on that kit.... as usual !
Carl IS the " Endless Enigma," of drumming !
Come to think of it, I just turned 68. I will definitely have to start working out more so at my next Palmer ELP Legacy show, I will be able to keep up with him!
Good bless that Atomic Rooster,
C A R L P A L M E R ,
and the show that never ends!
Come and see the show!
Your Sativa is working well bro
Excelente guitarra que sustituye al teclado. Fantástica banda, arriba Carl y el regreso de ELP, gracias por subir este gran concierto.
Fantastic
I was at this tour in London and it was brilliant, not quite as much BSS as I wanted, but excellent all round performances! So I will go to this if they play the U.K.
Get over the fact that it’s not ELP…
Karl Palmer still wants to play drums! That’s reason enough for him to do it
no its not
I hope this sounded a lot better live. I’m happy for Carl but wondering if this was such a good idea. Like I said I hope it was great live as the quality is somewhat painful to watch here . I’m 72 and absolutely loved ELP. Even today Lucky Man still gives me chills to listen to it.
Keeping the memory of Buddy Rich alive, yes I’ve seen both numerous times.
I wonder Palmer’s lifestyle so he can still play like that ….. so energetic and powerful!!!!
Living legend
He'll be 75 !!!
Amazing.
He once said in an interview that it's no special energy that drives him to do what he does,he stated it is simply how he plays.In other words he's a natural.It's in his blood.
I wish Carl Palmer would do an informercial on whatever supplements he takes to perform like that at his age. Most people his age are lucky to use the toilet unassisted!
He will be 75 tomorrow!!
Greatest oldest living rock progressive drummer ever
As a 73-year-old muso myself, I think the key is to simply never stop playing. Flywheel effect.
I am sure by looking at him he is well conscious of eating, exercising and completely living right and loving his creator. God bless him.
@@kennyplay5982 Carl Palmer turned 74 on March 20, 2024.
Where is Rachel Flowers when you "really" need her?????
I wish Carl would put a big band together and do some jazz. He swings his ass off, and he's one of the greatest there ever was behind the drums. This is repetitive when measured against what he's capable of doing.
something like brand X ...fusiony

@@paulrevellino matter how much Dry Ice it takes?
CP the only member of ELP who actually had classical training. Most mistakenly think Emerson was classically trained.

Greg Lake, wonderful voice. The voice of ELP and also KC ( King Crimson) the two first albums.
One thing: at least Carl Palmer is on the level on his use of backing tracks.
Awesome
Good job, but I guess he couldn't find anyone who could play keyboards like Keith Emerson. Keith was one of the best rock keyboardists ever, and an idol of mine.

You are welcome. I appreciate your comment. I agree with you about the audio quality.
Because Carl is the goat that's how😊
A ton
best use of a midi guitar! midi tracking on that strat is great. too bad its not a board mix.
Es hora de que Carl Palmer componga otra música. Para escuchar a ELP están sus álbumes y videos.
Creo que nunca compuso nada, o quizás solo colaboró. Y todo lo que hizo después de ELP, como PM (q el mismo Palmer dijo que era basura) o Three (intento de música comercial q integró c/Keith Emerson y Robert Berry, proyecto del cual Emerson se arrepintió mas tarde), y sacando Asia, no duró nada (insisto, reconocido por el mismo Palmer).

cant hear the keyboards very well
😭😭😭
How much Dry Ice do they use to keep Keith and Gregs Bodies cold?
Would love to go back in time and see them again, but this just reeks of desperation a bit too much
This is almost a rape of the memory.
Phil is not well, while Carl is in tremendous shape.
Phil used drugs and was an alcoholic, whilst Carl kept fit and practised Drumming whereas Phil became lazy and was unable to play the complex Music from the 70s albums, sad but unfortunately true, money is a bad master 😢

He had a spinal injury which caused nerve problems with his left hand and a condition called drop foot.

Nice. He's how old??

I wonder how many people go just for the drum solo?
So... you paid good money to see Carl Palmer and a couple of musicians who weren't Emerson or Lake and watch some video. What was the point?
As much as I love Carl and ELP...this is a little too much to bear. Sorry. There are times when trying to stay relevant just seems desperate. I think this is a prime example of this. RIP Keith and Greg. 🙏
You do realize maybe Carl wants to keep playing and THIS IS HIS JOB DUH
@@christianlewis6252 I'm sure he's made plenty to retire. I love playing the drums, too...I just think this concept reeks of desperation.
Its a weird career move. He's been stuck for decades.
Always thought it was a classy move that zeppelin called it quits after Bonham passed, same as Rush.
I know he tried some solo stuff at one time, as a musician you would think he would want to explore other things instead of regurgitating the same thing over and over. Playing with 30 year old videos of Keith and Greg is just creepy. I saw ELP in 1972 and that's the way I'd like to remember them.
@@georgeadams8230 agreed. It just seems a little too desperate. He should've joined forces with Asia if he wanted to keep playing.
Guess you had to be there.
Is he coming to Detroit?
Just a technical excercise... doesnt rock
Saw em 3 times from they’re first tour until like maybe two years ago at three different venues and it just doesn’t work. You definitely need keyboards, piano and vocals. Carl Palmer is still excellent but this trio doesn’t sound right. I’d rather see CP sit in for Led Zep or Rush…❤
This is wrong on so many fronts...Sheesh.
Carl. One admires your determination to keep the spirit of ELP alive, but this, at least for me, doesn't do it. Now if you collaborated with Rachel Flowers, that would be something worth watching!
Rachel Flowers, indeed!!! I agree with you, that would be worthwhile!!!
Agreed....This is such a travesty....This trio w/ guit and bass is a joke gone bad....NO wonder people rag on old prog rock... this just stinks... "Rachel?""" c'mon...
@@1adneumann at least someone who say something many of us think!!! I was almost banned from some ELP groups in FB for saying that I would never see this show. Seems Carl Palmer is untouchable; you can be a fan, but also recognise if the artist does not well. OK, Carl Palmer has been an EXTRAORDINARY drummer in the 70s, I liked him a lot with Asia, but I can't see this. Even The Beatles got heavy criticism back in the 60s when they released the Magical Mystery Tour movie.
After watching several videos of this "return" , I decided not to see this. I saw ELP live twice here in Argentina in the 90s, I saw several entire live performances in the videos (including the Royal Albert Hall), so I prefer to remember them as they were: a unique, brilliant band.
And no keys... Paul Bielatowicz is an amazing player, bit you can't show ELP music to new generations without keyboards. The base of ELP music was Keith's brilliancy on the keys. So Rachel Flowers could have been an accurate addition to this tribute. Because IMHO, it's not a "return", it's a tribute (which btw Carl has been doing for at least 20 years, only that this time he added screen footage of something I saw thousand of times).
So, sorry Carl, thanks for keeping ELP legacy alive, loved you in the 70s, loved you with Asia, you should be ranked as one of the top 10 best drummers in history... but this is definitely not my cup of tea...
Good for CP if he can make a living he deserves it
Not on my wooden nickel!@@randdeutsch9943
Sad
Look at Palmer go the guys half his age can't keep up !
This makes me sick.😢
You're obviously allergic to good music 😄
@@6792pk5and dead guys dug up and put on stage with dry ice
You're right it's a joke
How can Carl still play but Phil is in a chair, what a shame.
Phil did not care for his body along the way of his excesses and Carl did care
Pretty sure Carl has trained in martial arts, and continues to the present day. In an interview, he mentioned how heavy his diet is in vegetables. All those things help.
Roy Haynes tiene 99 años. No es nada del otro mundo. Se puede tocar perfectamente a su edad.
Loved ELP but this is just a mess!
It is antiquated technology seen here; probably to keep tour expenses at a minimum. And, quite frankly. what started it all is from the late 1990s......Elvis: The Concert and subsequent World Tour. Nothing has come close since -- and that includes the dabbling in hologram "guest appearances" and "shows" with on-stage musicians.
@@richardcorenoI saw that concert. That was good because the whole concert had video of him and all of the original band members were playing. At first, when heared about this I was upset that this tour wasn't coming to my area. Now, I really don't care.
I saw this trio 3 times and it’s just not right, keyboards and vocals are necessary, Carl Palmer is still excellent but this way to try and emulate ELP doesn’t cut it.

Most of the audience are bald.
You too, right?
Lo mejor de lo mejor Gracias
Очень странное и тоскливое зрелище
И попытка заработать на былой славе
Not for me
Let me try to understand this…..You buy tickets for, what might be, one of the last times to see Palmer and hear ELP-music and you miss everything because you have to hold your phone up, check if it records correct…and all you get is lousy sound and terrible images..wow, how smart is that…😂😂😂
I saw ELP twice here in Argentina in the 90s, and I don't need to say they were absolutely brilliant. I saw Palmer with Asia as well, in 2007 and with his band in 2017. I watched the entire Royal Albert Hall concert on video thousand of times, a perfect performance, the footage displayed in those screens, which are still in You Tube. I am a huge long time ELP fan, but I wouldn't see this show. I saw many parts of it via video many times, and, I'm sorry, I don't like it. I am not criticizing, simply I don't like it, I don't feel is "the return of ELP". Pay to see screens or just watch Palmer play... No way, I prefer to have the three of them in my memory and watch many great videos in You Tube where even Carl Palmer was extraordinary. I have many friends, big ELP fans, and they told they wouldn't see this concert.
It's perfectly OK Carl Palmer continues with the legacy (in fact he's been doing it for at least 20 years), but sorry, this is not my thing.
Ecktasy
Please dont sing ...Greg Lake. RULED!!!!!!!!!
That is Lake. After his voice left him.
@@michaelgrossman5913 We are not going any younger and Greg remained honest with the audience. His voice not left him, just aged.
Poor mix
All rather plodding and dull in the extreme
🙄
such is your life !
Heard Taylor Swift is playing somewhere…
I've seen him 3 times with this lineup.Hardly dull maybe you should go see it live
Sterncombo meissen ist besser.
Schwachsinn
I met Carl promoting remo drums back in 80s buffalo n.y. Asia just forming.
Amazing Carl looks 55 yo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nunca sera lo mismo es solo nostalgia...ya no es nuevo...se requieren nuevas direcciones musicales planetarias....ya se oye repetitivo...
Weber and the web he made
What a weird idea. Nonsense, sorry.
