Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP Legacy)
Tuesday, April 28. Manship Theatre (100 Lafayette Street, Baton Rouge). 7:30PM. $60 - $80.
We've all nodded our heads to Brain Salad Surgery, but this is an advisory to AVOID this show, prog rocker. "Created by Carl Palmer and his management, the show will be presented with the full cooperation of the Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE ACT - THIS IS THE REAL THING. Through modern technology they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates, playing together along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. The show combines video performance of Emerson and Lake from a legendary sold out ROYAL ALBERT HALL ELP show from 1992 with live on stage performances of Carl Palmer with his own ELP Legacy band (Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick). All the musicians play together in sync to present a complete and authentic Emerson, Lake & Palmer show." Imagine if established rock acts like SUGAR RAY, THOU, or BANANARAMA try to pull this crap on their fans in like 30 years after 67% of their members croak. "ELP was an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson of the Nice (keyboards), Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals, bass, guitar, producer), and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s."
