Whereas prog-rock can be an acquired taste, ELP was both a critical and commercial success, selling nearly 50 million albums worldwide. The show is meant to be both a treat for longtime fans and an exclusive way to introduce the uninitiated to ELP’s wondrous music and jaw-dropping, emotive technicality. He’ll also perform additional ELP tracks with his band. Palmer will perform six songs alongside Emerson and Lake. Welcome Back My Friends: The Return of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, includes a stop on November 22 at William Paterson University’s Shea Center for Performing Arts in Wayne, New Jersey. “Tarkus,” an ambitious record featuring a 20-minute title track, hit No. ELP landed two Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The trio came together in London in 1970 and turned heads at the prestigious Isle of Wight Festival that same year. Palmer has said that the tour is one and done. It is truly fans’ only way to experience this event. Palmer carefully curated the show, searching for the best way to bring his concept of a special and final ELP performance to fruition. In a unique, limited engagement, drummer Carl Palmer will be performing with big screens on each side of him projecting his late band members Keith Emerson (keyboards) and Greg Lake (vocals, bass, and guitar) playing live at a 1992 show at the Royal Albert Hall in London, essentially recreating the concert.
It turns out that iconic, English progressive rockers Emerson, Lake & Palmer really do put on a show that never ends. ELP is coming to NJ in ways you’ve never seen before, but in ways you could have seen before… it’s special.
