For you guys to make that work without a keyboard is simply astounding.. That Trilogy album is a masterpiece, Well done Paul!

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Thanks so much Michael 🙂

[@pallasonair6443]

Ditto!

[@pablomalaga4676]

W/O keyboards and Vocals, remarkable

[@richardshansky3040]

The bass played the left hand and the guitar played the right hand. Both covered the vocal lines. You two are top-notch musicians.

[@kevinlese633]

I've seen this lineup 4 times what an incredible show

[@zebo-the-fat]

Well.... for the first 30 seconds I wasn't convinced this would work without keyboards... but wow! Mind (and ears) blown! Well done guys!

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Thanks so much, glad we came through for you! 🙂

[@sethjones9740]

Never thought it could be replicated without keyboards. Bravo!!

[@rld2896]

Unbelievable! Keith was my favorite piano/keyboard player ever. I'm a pianist/keyboard player and I tried playing Trilogy when I was in high school, when the record (!) first came out. I had to stop and start the record player to get a few bars at a time so I could play it. I didn't have a synthesizer, but I do now, since I've been in bands for many years. This is incredible. I met Keith backstage after a concert in Tarrytown NY. I am positive he would absolutely love this performance, and Carl is still the man! Everyone here is super talented. Thank you! My favorite ELP piece. I'm going to send a copy of this to my brother, who grew up on Trilogy as I did. Many thanks!

[@PauloCarnaxide]

Stunning to watch Carl at 73 with the same energy as 50 years ago...

[@agatepickguitars]

I never believed in my life to see and hear such incredible artists ...

[@derrickslaten2912]

Just saw the group in Michigan Sunday night. November 2023. Very impressed with the whole show. Guitarist and bassist top notch musicians and they both seemed very geeked to be playing with Mr. Palmer. Don’t miss this tour! Satisfaction guaranteed.

[@user-dx6jk6yj5b]

Carl Palmer is still a Human Drum Machine!!!!! This Band has Kieth, and Greg smiling with pride in Heaven!!! B R A V O!!!!!!!!!!

[@shadowsp8888]

Oh boy ! Amazing ! Carl still has it !!!

[@TheDonzim]

As a long time ELP fan (the earlier the better) I am amazed, floored of the musicianship of guitar and bass. Of course we all know about Mr. Palmer. To replicate ELPs music the way these two have is phenomenal . Nice to see, and seems like its effortless playing , a sign of genius. Totally enjoyed the performance.

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. ❤️

[@TheDonzim]

@@PaulBielatowicz Your welcome,thanks for the reply.

[@Trace9598]

This is so great. You are all such talented musicians. Carl Palmer being the legend he is knows how to pick out the best musicians.

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Thanks so much Trace 🙂

[@albertofernandez7741]

I'm speechless.

[@dinkedwards3680]

Paul is just a freak of nature on the guitar! FFSake!! Genius!!

[@timgingras]

Carl, Paul, and Simon (Carl Palmer, ELP Legacy) is a must see show live. All incredible musicians.

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Thanks so much Tim ❤️

[@yutamat55]

Paul, you are a genius representing the 21st century. I once again felt the overwhelming emotion of Emerson's performance when I first heard EL&P. You have incorporated tap playing into your musical background to such an extent that you have transformed the guitar into an instrument no different from a keyboard. Debussy's Clair de lune, which you play, is also a highly musical work. I would like to thank you for getting to know you so late in my life.

[@marthaorsini9086]

Carl, you make me Cry for love..❤❤😢😢. Thaks Carl.....Thanks Carl....is my favorite !!!!OMG Amazing Performance

[@astridkarmacakes1050]

I have to keep coming back to this composition…intense ✨🙏✨

[@PaulBielatowicz]

It is an amazing piece! Definitely one of my favourites to play and listen to

[@MrLaRcOrE12]

Now this was epic🤘. Carl Palmer doesn’t get much attention. Totally underrated.

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Thanks Laurence, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@juulbrie]

Superb, impressed, I think Keith would have loved your skills and guitarist interpretation. Just wow!

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Thanks so much Evert. I think Keith watched one of our shows via facetime once - his son, Aaron came to a show and had his dad on facetime for the show. Unfortunately he never came to any of our shows himself

[@juulbrie]

@@PaulBielatowicz thx for your reaction. I really like to hear this. Will you guys come to the Netherlands again? That's a long time ago ;)

[@apolloniusbeitsman5444]

Can't wait to see you in Belgium in a couple of weeks.

[@PaulBielatowicz]

I'm so sorry those shows were cancelled, I was really looking forward to the European tour - sadly all but the UK dates were cancelled. Very disappointing 😢

[@robertoestrada2065]

I saw ELP in San Diego. With his band later at Baja Prog Festival. Both great shows

[@PaulBielatowicz]

Ah I remember the Baja Prog show well - that was my first time across the Atlantic.

[@markusaurelius777]

I may have requested you guys do this a few years ago......So nice to see you play it live !!! Excellent !!! I grew up on ELP when my brother had Brain Salad Surgery. I still love that EPIC album and also all of ELP works. Don't worry...I LOVE YOU GUYS just as much !!! A very lovely tribute to Greg and Keith. Oh yea, I also love Rachel Flowers too.
