I'd have expected this from Emerson or Lake, not Palmer.  |

prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

It sounds like some of you are not getting the point that both the Emerson and Lake estates are benefiting from this and have given their blessing to make it happen. Neither would see a dime if Carl just did his same old same old. So money grab? How about providing revenue for the surviving members of the E&L families ? Plus, it's a 50th Anniversary celebration of ELP so why wouldn't the other two souls (pun intended) be included. Haters be haters, I learned to tune them out long ago. I personally have never seen these types of events before so I might find it interesting, hard to say.

I think the problem here for many folks isn't that Carl wants to continue to perform ELP music but that he is calling it ELP when it clearly isn't just to grab the cash cow. As such he's having Keith and Greg on stage in videos and many seem to feel that is unethical. I can understand where people are coming from but I think maybe they are being a little quick to judge. I think his biggest mistake is calling it ELP (if that actually is the case and so far it seems that way).

I won't spend cash to see ??P, but why is it so awful? Are the Stones without Charlie okay? What about ZZ Top without Dusty? How about Zappa, Renaissance, Yes, Gong, and Kansas?
Musicians continue because they love music and they love to perform. I say, rock on! Edited by Grumpyprogfan - September 08 2022 at 17:51 |

I saw Zappa plays Zappa a few years back and thought it was great so saw them on the next tour and it was cut with bits of film and solos from Frank with Dweezil playing along, looking up lovingly at his old man.. and i found it rather saccharine and it rather spoiled it.. i absolutely agree that all the original footage is out there if new fans want to see and explore it and remaining members can still play the material live and keep the legacy alive if they want.. i'd rather just see the full original footage with the younger CP playing then..

Bad idea. I'm surprised Palmer would do such a thing.

Yesterday I received a notice from Ticketmaster for tickets to see Emerson Lake & Palmer in Boston November 27.
Baffled, I googled the tour, and it consists of Carl Palmer playing drums live with film of Keith Emerson playing on a movie screen. I find this ghastly. Even worse than the holographic Frank Zappa from a few years ago. There are films and recordings of most deceased masters that should suffice in allowing people too young to have seen them live to get the gist of their performances. I had no beef with Palmer for touring with a band playing ELP music, I even own 2 CDs from them. These ghoulish "concerts" are just money grabs.
