Live in New York 2014 CD

Pictures At An Exhibition - A Tribute To Keith Emerson Live Miami 2016 DVD
A 2 hour long complete and spectacular tribute show to Keith Emerson, featuring special guests: Steve Hackett (Genesis), Mark Stein (Vanilla Fudge) and David Frangioni. Recorded at Olympia Theater Miami on 24th June 2016, the show includes much loved ELP classics such as ‘Bitches Crystal’,‘Hoedown’, ‘Karn Evil 9’ (Welcome Back My Friends), ‘Romeo & Juliet’, ‘Fanfare For The Common Man’, ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘The Barbarian’.
Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy was formed in 2001 and comprises Carl Palmer alongside the prodigal talents of Simon Fitzpatrick on guitar and Paul Bielatowicz on bass. This power trio are taking classic ELP works and reconstructing them with drums, bass & guitar rather than replicating the unique keyboard/synth work of the great Keith Emerson. The line-up injects new life into both ELP and ELP related favourites such as ‘Hoedown’, ‘Peter Gunn’, ‘The Barbarian’, ‘Knife-Edge’, ‘Pictures At An Exhibition’, ‘Lucky Man’, ‘Fanfare For The Common Man’ and King Crimson’s 21st Century Schizoid Man’. “It’s metal prog-rock playing Emerson, Lake and Palmer,” Carl says. “It’s original and unique, and that’s important to me.” The trio’s dynamic live show has proved a triumphant success with sold-out world tours, festival appearances and rave reviews.
Crowned ‘Prog God of 2017’, Carl Palmer is taking the ELP legacy forward throughout 2018 in new directions, whilst showcasing his immeasurable talents as one of the great technical drummers alive today. Says Carl, “My philosophy is very simple; if I keep on improving, which I am at the moment, or I can’t improve but can maintain a standard, then I will carry on. The minute I can’t do that, then I’m gone.”
