Obviously it goes without saying that Carl Palmer is the true ELP drummer but just watching this, Cozy Powell is kicking some major ass on the drums considering that he only made one album with Emerson and Lake but he is showing that he is no slouch at all. Most top drummers would find playing that music with two prog rock icons to be a very intimidating experience but Cozy not only picks up the ball here but he runs all the way to the finish line. ELP or not, this is some of the best music ever written and all three of these guys really worked well together as a tight unit.
I saw this tour in the Meadowlands Arena, New Jersey, just a couple weeks before this video was recorded. The stage and concert looked and sounded exactly like it appears here. This song was the opening number in the NJ show as well, and just like in this video at 3:40, when Lake started singing "What's your game?", the audience broke out cheering like they do here. I think everyone was so glad to hear the greatest voice in rock once again. RIP Greg Lake.
Absolutely killer!!!! I wish they could last longer. Greg and Keith brilliant as usual, and Cozy.... Man, a thunderstorm drummer, the perfect fit for a perfect band. He kicked ass!!!! Looking forward to the CD set.
amazing that emerson in the mid-80s wrote this. the first and last sections are right up there with the horn sections of KE9.. the studio, rehearsals and live versions all have a different feeling, depending on powell's intensity.
I saw that show, one of the best ever. The Fox is a great venue, acoustics! I was the one with the loud whistling at the start and end. I just sat here listening with a tear in my eyes. Such a tragedy, all 3 gone to the great gig in the sky...so much talent...gone.
@@pmfithagree!! After watching this, I say I agree completely. I've been a big Cozy fan all my life, listened to everything he played with Schenker, Blackmore, Beck, Moore and so. By the time he sadly passed, he was rehearsing to play with another great, Yngwie Malmsteen. From heavy metal drummer to play with two genious like Keith and Greg!!! You HAVE to be good indeed!!!
I Saw Elpalmer and ElPowell.Keith the undisputed Master and my shock was Cozy.I've seen almost everyone Jazz and Rock and Blues and huge Santana fan and Cozy blew away every drummer I ever saw including Neil Peart and the many greats who played with Carlos.Just a monster-like Keith!I think he like many actually caught "Lyme" Disease. This was their Opener.As we walked up outside the Boston Operahouse there were 9 semis of equipment and none were intricate staging or special effects!All musical equipment.I can't believe the roof did not blow off.
FFs, thank god someone captured this on video back then, an absolute treasure to see them here killing it with Powell. I have to assume Emerson had at least (2) keyboard techs to assemble that cathedral lol.
Yeah, that was quite a pile. I believe a tech was triggering patch changes offstage; there was so much going on during songs (much less song to song) that it wasn't a good idea to rely on Emerson to do it properly every time.
Oh my God. I commented this myself 11 years ago. And now, watching again this wonderful performance, I had the impression that it was new to me. Completely forgot. It really is a historic and rare document. Thanks again for the upload, my dear @greenhazel351, and I send you my best energies from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Gave some spin to this cd today...wish I could have seen them for this tour. I did however see them when they toured with Bonham at the San Antonio Sunken Gardens.
Worked the gig at Brendan Byrne arena NJ in 86, Then sat out at front of house to watch the show. They had the Quad system i.e an separate Audio hang house left and right of the mix position It really added some depth to the show but it could have been utilized more I like the look over to stage right Greg does, then Keith looking back like they're wondering how fast Cozy is gonna go with this tempo at 7:50 !
Saw this tour in MD.... #1 ELPowell WOW, all 3 of them are dead. ((\,,/)) ((\,,/)) Keith Emerson Greg Lake cozy Powell May Heaven allow ROCK&ROLL Music to be played!!! !!! !!!
OMG, Cozy is killing it!!!! He was a hell of a drummer, this is AMAZING. Keith and Greg (genious!!) made the perfect choice. Wish they coukd make a second album... So sad the three are gone 😢
Cozy had an amazing career playing with many of the greatest musicians of modern history. As a former detroiter I saw some amazing concerts at the Fox theater there. The sound have been far better than this particular recording. I used to spend a lot of time working around the corner on Adam's street. It seemed this concert didn't get much promotion because I remember driving past the fox on Woodward ave an seeing ELP live tonite! That was the first I heard about the show.
@@stratcat4450 perhaps, the quality is not that good, but it's almost impossible to find good live videos of ELPowell. Indeed, I've followed his career for a long time; Schenker, Whitesnake, Blackmore, Moore, among others. And of course with E & L. By the time he sadly passed, he was working with Yngwie Malmsteen
@@AlexandraOcampo-r9u sorry, my phone is acting up, I have the original vinyl as well as cd's I play these days. I have always been especially fond of ELP Tarcus, an Trilogy I have been a huge fan of Cozy since he played with the late great Jeff Beck.
@@stratcat4450 so lucky you!! Here in Argentina is impossible to find any ELP vinyl or CD now. When I started to listen to ELP, especially Trilogy (my first ELP album, which I discovered through a school friend after I bought the infamous Love Beach, that's the one which introduced ELP to me), we used to swap the records/cassettes with my high school friends. Later on I bought the CDs. Now I have all of them in Spotify.
I was there! What a great show! I think that Powell wasn't a perfect fit, but I greatly prefer him to Palmer. It was such a treat to see Emerson and Lake play with a drummer who wasn't rushing the tempo all the time, and who came in accurately after rests in the music, eg all over Tarkus. Is there more of this?!
Los tres estan tocando en el cielo..zapando las mas hermosas melodias..junto a Hendrix y a los mas grandes maestros que la musica nos identifico siempre..sin modas ni tendencias de estilos o generos que son una mierda como el trap, regayton, bachata, electronic mierdas programadas.
+Scorpio's Child One of the tricks a great drummer employes is slowing down and speeding up the tempo , and as well moving tempo's in and out of measure . If you prefer your drummers to play like a metronome then fine , but to say Cozy is a better drummer than Palmer is just unbelievable .
David Bonnema just compare touch and go between Powell and Palmer. Different styles but Powell's power suits the 80s version of this band much better. Notice not one timing error between them even when Powell picks up the tempo at the end. This was a great band.
Hmmm... I didn't see the wtf look. a quick glance in that direction. Almost seemed as though Keith was looking at him too. Camera panned too fast. Cozy seemed to be stepping up a notch to see if Greg and Keith could keep up. Carl wouldn't have made that challenge. lol
8:06 You can see Keith is really concentrating to keep steady with the faster tempo as the wall of drums and cymbals are coming are coming at him from cozy. At the MSG show cozy broke his stick during this section and it went flying! He picked up a new one and didn’t drop the beat.
Seems to be a penchant for North American dates/audiences; same thing with 3 except on a smaller scale aiming for clubs, and a broader selection of international dates after they reunited
So Keith sets up a triumphant, magnificent platform for a spectacular crescendo ( 3:39) and then Greg takes the lead and delivers a nothingburger for about two minutes. Eventually, Keith returns to the basic idea and saves the number. The nothingburger would be a great Side B.
Well, perhaps if you had spent time with the band at rehersals you'd be better qualified to correct someone elses comment! But then you are someone who expects a recording to have changed in a year!
Emerson, Lake and Powel all three rest in peace!
😢
Great performance and even better, the camera operator knew the song well enough to show each musician at the right times.

Cozy played with some good acts before this....Jeff Beck Group is where I first saw him, but he fits here like an old glove or shoe. Amazing talent.
@@markkahler7675 Rainbow too
@@markkahler7675 Cozy also made some amazing music with Jan Akkerman as part of Forcefield too. One of the true powerhouses of the drum kit.
@@DoktorDamage ...and Black Sabbath, and...and... He had one hell of a resume
Gary Moore and Powell made some great music!
Saw this show at the Fox in Atlanta in 1986, top 5 show of my life, Keith was on fire and Greg and Cozy killed it all night.
I saw this tour in the Meadowlands Arena, New Jersey, just a couple weeks before this video was recorded. The stage and concert looked and sounded exactly like it appears here.

Cozy was filling some big shoes, and fill them he did. I loved this album.
Absolutely killer!!!! I wish they could last longer. Greg and Keith brilliant as usual, and Cozy.... Man, a thunderstorm drummer, the perfect fit for a perfect band. He kicked ass!!!!
Looking forward to the CD set.
Cozy on fire. Superb👌
thank you EMERSON．score is the popular song in japan as theme song of new japan prowrestling.
My favortie ELP (Powell) track. Sounds astounding live.
This might be my favorite ELP track (Palmer OR Powell). Just a fantastic song and arrangement.
amazing that emerson in the mid-80s wrote this. the first and last sections are right up there with the horn sections of KE9.. the studio, rehearsals and live versions all have a different feeling, depending on powell's intensity.

Wow, this is an incredible video! Good sound, and decent video to see what's going on! What a treasure
Cozy is just KILLING it here, sad that I missed this tour...
+Steve Bello I saw this tour. I'd seen ELP several times with Palmer. And have to say live. They sounded better with Cozy
Steve Bello I saw it. It is still in my top 5 concerts of all time.
Cozy was magnificent!
Powell is so much better than Palmer. Much tighter & can actually keep time...
@@pmfithagree!! After watching this, I say I agree completely. I've been a big Cozy fan all my life, listened to everything he played with Schenker, Blackmore, Beck, Moore and so. By the time he sadly passed, he was rehearsing to play with another great, Yngwie Malmsteen.
From heavy metal drummer to play with two genious like Keith and Greg!!! You HAVE to be good indeed!!!
Cozy just sound more powerful than the record... He really kill it live!
After that power trio,Cozy was saying Emerson was really a genius !!
And the highest point of his career
Great group, virtuoso implementation, impressed it how they made such aggressive and the same time majestic sound without overloaded guitar. Bravo!
Absolutely amazing!!!
Saw this tour. 1st row at MSG. Loved it
Was at this show! This clip doesn't give the music justice. The sound and show were great that night!

Absolutely brilliant!
I saw this tour at the Montreal Forum on September 5 1986. It's was truely amazing!!!!!!
I live near Detroit and the Fox Theater is a great place to see a concert. It has great acoustics.
Fabulous! RIP to all you guys.
FANTASTIC !!!!!!!

Saw them live in NOLA. Killer show. When this configuration was first announced, didn't know what to think with no Palmer. Cozy blew me away
I seen them there at The Fox Theater in Detroit, still have the ticket stub! Long live the legens
Powell IMHO was the ONLY drummer who could fill Carls immense shoes....Powell was a great drummer..power, speed and dexterity
Greatest prog band ever!
Mr. Gregory Stuart Lake 😭
Mr. Keith Noel Emerson 😭
Mr. Colin "Cozy Powell" Trevor Flooks😭

MTV has locked up the complete ELPowell concert video in perfect quality.
If you see this, I'm going to search this in hopes of getting a copy. I'll add a link if I can.
Greetings from MX... I recall this song because the 1986 FIFA World Cup organizers used like jingle for the worldwide TV matches broadcasting.
Gave some spin to this cd today...wish I could have seen them for this tour. I did however see them when they toured with Bonham at the San Antonio Sunken Gardens.
Powerful
+Jorge Melodia A great way to open up the show - WOW!
Great clip! Love this music, Asia (who has a great CD, Omega out right now), Marilion ... and other's of this ilk
Never enough of the great Greg, though of course, Keith and Cozy are also superb.

Cozy has WAY better time than Palmer and is more consistent-hands down!
+Scorpio's Child One of the tricks a great drummer employes is slowing down and speeding up the tempo , and as well moving tempo's in and out of measure . If you prefer your drummers to play like a metronome then fine , but to say Cozy is a better drummer than Palmer is just unbelievable .
+Scorpio's Child No way is Powell better than Palmer
David Bonnema just compare touch and go between Powell and Palmer. Different styles but Powell's power suits the 80s version of this band much better. Notice not one timing error between them even when Powell picks up the tempo at the end. This was a great band.
I cannot agree. Cozy Powell was a good rock drummer. But Carl Palmer goes well beyond that, and has much more sophisticated technique.
Woozler554 Agreed!
@ProgressiveMachinery Problem with your comment was it was Greg who went wrong, not Cozy.
Saw them at The Greek.
Hmmm... I didn't see the wtf look. a quick glance in that direction. Almost seemed as though Keith was looking at him too. Camera panned too fast. Cozy seemed to be stepping up a notch to see if Greg and Keith could keep up. Carl wouldn't have made that challenge. lol

At the MSG show cozy broke his stick during this section and it went flying! He picked up a new one and didn’t drop the beat.
Keith Emerson didn't carry his famous Modular Moog for this tour.
Is that the yamaha GX1 he is playing
Absolutely; it's on the bottom of the stack to the left of Emerson. I believe that by this time, one manual of the GX1 was fitted with a MIDI output.
Is there a video with a better sound ?
この後パウウェル君がもうちょっとがまんしてくれたら２作目ができたのになぁ～、レイク君もがまんできなくなり、この後パーマーと３をやるけどそれもぱっとしない。
Opet oni i mali ja... oni i ja...
Why did Elp or Elpowell always seemed to avoid the Uk after 74 ?
Seems to be a penchant for North American dates/audiences; same thing with 3 except on a smaller scale aiming for clubs, and a broader selection of international dates after they reunited

二拍三連マニアの夢の共演。パーマーよりタルカスも重厚でよろしいのでは？。
Did ELP ever perform this in the 90s?
No. “Touch and Go” was the only one.

I regret Emerson don’t choose a drummer like Bruford (more delicate,less brutal)
