Sole survivor, the solitary fire lol little Asia reference there..

[@davidforget6906]

@@joesantianna121 Hello I saw Yes and Asia together live here in Michigan. Asia first then Yes. Steve Howe Was guitarist for both bands. Needless to say it was an excellent concert!

[@joesantianna121]

i saw asia in 1982 supporting the first album in Boston, that was great. also saw yes in the 90's play a gymnasium in new Hampshire , we had the entire row to ouselves what a gift that show was. It was like Yes playing a private concert. @@davidforget6906

[@davidforget6906]

I was there too. I live in Michigan. Excellent concert for sure.

[@ChicagoBeaver]

WTH!!! ELP live? No way!! This song rocks!!!!!!! RIP Keith Emerson (one of the best keyboardists ever) and Greg Lake (one amazing and talented musician).

[@marcanglin7127]

Carl just had a heart procedure called an ablation: Basically, a couple of probes into the heart via catheterization to treat atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats). Areas of the heart muscle are either burned or frozen to cause scarring, thus breaking up the irregular electrical signals. He had the procedure back in June, and should be in top form, as one regains full energy over a few weeks' time as the regular blood flow from the heart increases oxygen levels to the body. My lovely and wonderful wife just had the same procedure in early July, and, while the strength increase seemed gradual, she now says that she hasn't fell this good in 15-20 years. Stay young, Carl !!!

[@darrelltiencken9421]

I had the same procedure you did a great job of describing it.

[@marcanglin7127]

@@darrelltiencken9421 Thank you !!! Great health and long life to you !!!

Very detailed and informative. Hope your wife is doing even better now. Long live Carl Palmer!!!!

My sister also had that procedure. She's doing well. Hope you all are too.

[@joseduarte8293]

I'm so glad to see Carl Palmer with this energy! Saúde! Keep on rolling❤

[@MrPhotodoc]

Carl is clearly having the time of his life.

[@fcamiola]

King Carl! Glad he's still at it. I'm currently riding an ELP wave and spinning all of my vinyl from the s/t to Love Beach 😂. Tarkus and Trilogy are monsters.

[@thomasmead4642]

I have it all as well, I was able to get a copy of the "Fanfare" box set.

[@cricketbat09]

wow, looks like a great way to keep the ELP band music alive in 2023.

[@blzbob7936]

Experienced these guys at Northern Kin a few years back and was totally blown away. Before they came on I was thinking 'this isn't gonna work' because there wasn't any keyboards set up, how wrong I was! Carl is just as precise as he ever was, and the lads either side are amazing. P.S. Never seen a Chapman Stick used before, and this lad can create any sound he wants on this thing. As does the guitarist. Awesome three piece!

[@frankcabibi4212]

first saw ELP in early 70s at Pocono Rock festival...they were awesome....saw them a few years later for Brain Salad Surgery tour in Salt Lake City , Utah. Always great music!! I love ELP.....Carl Palmer world class first class drummer extraordinaire!

[@donstevenson2660]

Noble intentions, Carl, but my memories of the real thing are more vivid.

[@Seekmage]

I'm glad these vids help bring spark memories of the real thing, that are more vivid to you.

[@nicholasbell9017]

Noble intentions? What are yours then?

[@donstevenson2660]

@nicholasbell9017 Intentions, maybe to encourage emphasis on his new musicians. I realize that the ELP connection will sell more tickets, but Carl has other good performances in this tour, new arrangements, the potential is there.

[@nancykargl4708]

best drummer of all time. So glad he can do this.

[@kevinlewis6541]

Rachel Flowers comes to my mind !! She Plays Keith Emerson compositions perfectly ! 😎😁

[@Dejahthoris22]

@@kevinlewis6541 no clue why he’s not touring with Rachel Flowers. That would be mind blowing and amazing!

[@aleocampos9547]

Indeed, Rachel Flowers! The base of ELP music were the keyboards, and Rachel know how to play Keith's music to perfection. Why didn't he add her?? Who knows???

[@FRATZROCKET]

Saw ELP on their first American tour. Blown totally away. But no one can ever replace Keith or Greg. Kinda like if Ringo continued as The Beatles without the other 3.

[@aleocampos9547]

I agree. I saw them twice in their South American tour in the 90s and they were brilliant. To me, this is not ELP; as a mattet of fact, Palmer has been playing with his band ELP music for at least 20 years. The difference is now there's Keith and Greg on those screens, in a concert (Royal Albert Hall 92, extraordinary concert) I saw thousand of times. I love ELP, but sorry, don't get me wrong, folks, but I wouldn't go to see this.

[@VickersDoorter]

Amazing tech that they brought to life the performances of the Late Greats and so neatly weaved them in on screen.

[@Seekmage]

This is the beginning of the future of performers who have left us. It boggles my mind to think of all the possibilities with this introduction.

[@simonharper4199]

saw these guy at the stables in milton keynes a couple of years ago. absolutely stunning performance

[@job1778]

Great musicianship, hey play till you die!!!!!

[@jalocamzurdo]

Se necesita tener mucho amor para regresar y Carl lo tiene , la crítica negativa no es necesaria y si no lo disfrutan allá ustedes Nada fácil 50 años después pretender ser lo mismo

[@harryhirsch7031]

Great! Keith und Greg auf den Videobildschirmen! wonderful and i love it!

[@alanbrancheau2028]

saw them in dallas on this tour in 73 changed my life they were in quad it was loud and insane

[@olderbutnowiser6701]

I first saw the LP in ‘71 or was it ‘72? Absolutely mind blowing. Three fantastic musicians. But I find this presentation very macabre and not something I want to watch myself. Of course, many people will enjoy this, and I wish Carl good luck, but I just find it most peculiar.

[@daveh9335]

CP is a fucking Monster drummer. Saw him w ELP in '98. Big ups !

[@markhaus5441]

I saw ELP on the Brain Salad Surgery Tour many years ago. To this day it is one of the best concerts in my lifetime.

Love CP and love that he’s been doing this tribute for quite a while now but, I think it might be time to let it go.

[@Prog-t9d]

Great tune.

[@SWATTECHNOLOGIES]

I'm afraid a bit too weird for me and playing ELP without keyboards couldn't make less sense. God bless you Carl but............

[@olderbutnowiser6701]

Phew, I’m glad to read your reply because I thought it was just me. I can’t put my finger on it at the moment but there is something wrong with this show.

[@aleocampos9547]

Why not Rachel Flowers??? I woild have loved to see her playing with them.

[@TheLastOilMan]

Thanks P

[@jimilove7773]

Still has it that military snare drumming!

[@gordontaylor4184]

I saw Carl a couple of years ago. At the time it was just him, the guitarist and the bass player. They were brilliant because they did the songs with a new twist. I felt that having a keyboard player would have been too much like a tribute act. I can't say that I like the idea of using clips of his old bandmates.

[@nelsondylanias9330]

Sometimes we must be careful when playing with ghosts. ELP was unique.

[@VicLarnerd]

I saw this show in Lexington. CP can still bring it

[@TheMrmartind40]

My avatar is Keith Emerson, so I'm biased, but Carl Palmer is tops in his genre. I had the pleasure of seeing Emerson, Lake and Palmer 3 times, starting in 73. He was brilliant then, and is still near 50 years later. Imo, he's the Buddy Rich-Gene Krupa of Rock.

[@Seekmage]

Yep agreed. I saw Gene Krupa and was sitting about 10 feet away from him and the band in a club in a hotel on Central Park South. Absolutely phenomenal and with a heartbeat matching his.

[@jnadle1]

This feels like Carl's daily workout regimen... being a drummer.

[@alejandrobustos2268]

De última que haga un nuevo ELP con un teclista y un bajista cantante, sería más fresco de escuchar.

[@BlackPearlMusicVideos]

Saw the real thing 5 times. Just not the same without Kieth.

[@alejandrobustos2268]

No tiene sentido lo que hace Carl Palmer. Ya ELP paso a la historia, están todos sus registros originales disponibled. Tendría que hacer nueva música o improvisar sobre los clásicos que el ayudo a crear. La vida es demasiado corta y ya ELP es inmortal.

[@Seekmage]

Carl loves working, he loves touring, he loves keeping the memories of Emerson and Lake there with him while he performs and he loves making people happy listening to his live drumming.

[@hubbsllc]

This just seems empty to me. And that bothers me because Carl has been one of my favorite drummers for decades. Isn't someone writing music that would be exciting to see a band with Carl Palmer in it play?

[@Seekmage]

Carl loves working, he loves touring, he loves keeping the memories of Emerson and Lake there with him while he performs and he loves making people happy listening to his live drumming.

[@hubbsllc]

@@Seekmage It just seems like all the other great drummers found new and exciting things to do. Bruford and Cobham went through bands as sidemen and then led bands of their own; Bruford retired a legend. Peart composed new lyrics and drum parts for studio and stage for 40 years; did some of his best work right up until he retired.

[@Seekmage]

@@hubbsllc That's what you might do but this is what he wants to do. Let's applaud him for own personal choices for his own life. I believe this is an epic turning/beginning point in future live concerts. Going forward I see AI making immense changes, including creating 3D holographic images and performances for those no longer with us who were a major impact on the group. Think of any concert, from any group/performer you would like to see again but know it's impossible because they are not here anymore and, well, the past is the past and cannot be relived again. Think again because AI will be able to recreate those images in not just 3D but immersive 4D on stage. Think about that and that it is all beginning with Carl Palmer and this tour. This is an epic choice in his career to perform this way. He will go down in history and be forever remembered for this choice of his to perform this way.

[@tombaker6082]

This is definitely a unique and cool approach for Carl and I know it comes from the best place in his heart. That he can still rock in his 70s is unreal. I saw him from row 2 with these 2 musicians in Charlotte and was blown away. Now, adding the screens is pretty awesome in my book and if people enjoy it then that's great! If he comes near me and I can go I will not think twice. Love this! God bless him for keeping the music alive.

[@Larry_left_a_comment]

Are we saying the guy with the long hair is handling the singing parts and the KE parts? Or is there "prerecorded" keyboards?

[@johalareewi]

When I saw the Carl palmer Experience, both the bass player and guitarist took turns at playing the keyboard parts on their instruments. Bass player also used a Chapman stick at times. It was very impressive.

[@iantrotter62]

I grew up on ELP and Carl was my first route into drumming. I was looking forward to this live concept, but I'm sad to say this 7:21 of performance contained 70 seconds of Greg&Keith...I'd be a little disappointed if the rest of the show had this proportion of content of ELP to Carls live trio...amazing as they are. Don't want to seem like a bit of a downer, as I'm an original ELP fan.

[@Seekmage]

@iantrotter62 You said "I'd be a little disappointed if the rest of the show had this proportion of content of ELP to Carls live trio". Did you see the rest of the show? If so, was it also too little of Greg & Keith? If you didn't see the whole show then here it is: kzbin.info/aero/PLFneLeNhbR0eRyy8mg8-2iF-6qsvKVoGQ&si=3ISpzRGHQeC3tZSW And here is Carl's interview of the this tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGfIiaGcq9tmipY

[@iantrotter62]

@@Seekmage Thanks for the link, and thank you so much for the quotation marks otherwise I may have forgotten what I'd said. I'll have a look at the show and see if Greg&Keith get more than the 8% allowed above. Thank you for your obsequious devotion to Carl...he was also a big influence on me when I was 16yoa.

[@aarontm507]

So who's in the band now?

[@aleocampos9547]

Paul Bielatowicz is the amazing guitar player and Simon Fitzpatrick on bass and stick. Both musicians are brilliant.

[@mikekeeler6362]

He needs to get Chief Emerson and Greg Lake with a i it would be like having the band together

[@Kouros-t6d]

hire a REAL keyboard player and a bass/singer player and make a tour! There are lots of great keyboard players on youtube that are good to do the job!

[@Carsten_1957]

No comparison! And without a bassist! The videos don't help either!

[@Seekmage]

No comparison needed. Carl loves working, he loves touring, he loves keeping the memories of Emerson and Lake there with him while he performs and he loves making people happy listening to his live drumming.

[@joe11741]

Still has the skills! But the kit not sounding good. Not sure ifs the mix or the mics or the tuning of the heads. He deserves better.

[@gesfogo]

Esto es un robo !! Que verguenza😂

Let's say something nice, like Carl Palmer is giving, by getting approval from both of the estates of Emerson and Lake.
