GungaDin Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Not sure where to place this, as it's entertainment. I'm sure a Zealot knows. Quote: ELP agrees to headline the new High Voltage Festival, the UK's new flagship classic rock event, on Sunday July 25, 2010. It is expected that fans from Europe, USA, Japan and around the globe will fly into London to see this much anticipated and unique event. This press release was announced to applause at the Classic Rock Awards at London's Park Lane Hotel, Piccadilly;- 'Mean Fiddler and Classic Rock Magazine are proud to announce that Emerson Lake and Palmer (ELP) will be reforming to bring the inaugural High Voltage festival to a climax. 'Forty years after ELP opened the legendary Isle Of Wight Festival in 1970, what better act to celebrate Britain's biggest and best Adult Rock Festival. 'Fans can expect 'Cannons, Pyrotechnics and a supreme production alongside the stunning musicianship and songs that made ELP the legends they truly are.' http://www.greglake.com/news_pressreleases.html What I would give to see that show! Are there any ELP fans in Thailand? (you have to be over 50.) Edited November 12, 2009 by GungaDin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Why does anyone want to see a bunch of old fogeys play a bunch of songs that are mostly forgotten? The Beatles with all the members would be the only one of these concerts worth seeing and mostly because they are all dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 One of the bands who had excellent albums in the beginning, but declined rapidly after a while. (ELP after "Welcome back my friends,..."). Liked them a lot, although I am not over 50. Superior headphones stereo effects then in the 70s. Have to say, that they certainly do not fit in a Rock festival, rather a concert played by them alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not ask the 100's of thousands who go to their concerts & still buy their albums! This concert will sell out in a few days, if not hours... PS..... UG, you're still a Dill.

angiud Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 When I was a student I was crazy for The Nice and after For EL&P. I remember a wonderful concert early in the seventies in Stadio Flaminio in Rome, one of the many times Keith Emerson start to stab the keyboard in a musical rush. I would like to listen (not to see, cause they are so old now) the concert of the kids made me learn to enjoy the rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holidaybob Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'd love to be there, been a fan of ELP from the start and the Nice before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GungaDin Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 There's a great MP3 CD of ELP available at Panthip, with nearly all their albums on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've loved 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. This LP, together with "A Clockwork Orange" soundtrack made me start to appreciate the classical too. But please, don't talk about 'Brain Salad Surgery', the begin of the end...

Birdman Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Well, people here have not much to say about E,L & Palmer. 80.000 members and only 4 or 5 are responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calico Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm not over 50, but I am over 45, and I think that is fantastic. I'd love to see those guys in concert. Maybe we're disappointed they're not reuniting in Chiang Mai or Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UG, you're still a Dill. just saw this topic on ELP. Was the first concert I ever went to. I think I was 16 yrs of age. It was the tour after the release of Brain Salad Surgery. Amazing concert and still one of my favorite and most memorable concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Talking of The Nice, check this out. The sound quality's not too good, but still magic after 42 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
