45 years later and this album still brings up a lot of feelings....

It has always been odd album for me:


I remember the disappointment when it came out. Wow!
Canario is a good track, but...

YES! I knew I missed one. thanks

More from the ELP canon:

"Toccata": A.Ginastera Piano Concerto No.1 "Toccata" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hfkLobjxew

"Canario": Joaquín Rodrigo Fantasía para un gentilhombre ...

I remember that! I thought I had screwed something up. Ha!

I was also at that show and was thinking the same thing. It was an odd site, but a good show

Emerson, Lake & Palmer: January 1978, Chicago International Amphitheater

Peter Gabriel: December 1982, Chick Evans Field House - Northern Illinois University, DeKalb IL

Joe Jackson: ...

I have always loved Trilogy. Eddie Offord's involvement gives the album a lush sound. It does miss some of the aggressiveness of the other album, but I love it. I always wished that Eddie had...

While you have a valid point, the theaters in Chicago are run by the same promoter (https://oshows.com). This guy has run the Arcada for a long time and The Des Plaines Theater came on line a few...

I got a copy for Christmas this year. Never heard it until a week ago. Very good. Very 'Yessie'

Thanks for the honest review. I have seen CPB a few times and have enjoyed them, but I really wasn't sure about this one. I hope to catch them next time and, hopefully, at the the Des Plaines...

Many years ago, my friend dub this the 'bad luck song" and ever since then if I do listen to it; something bad does happen to me! (Sadly, I love the Made in Japan version..... )

As soon as I...

I have seen TMB do The Lamb 3 times. The first two times were in the early 2000's when they were fanatical about not taking pictures or videos, so this is from memory. I remember the 3 screens...

Caught the show yesterday in the Chicago area. This is the third time I have seen TMB perform The Lamb and this might have been the best of the three.

Two thoughts: These shows always...

For the longest time TMB was absolutely obsessed with not allowing photos or videos of their shows due to their licensing agreements with Genesis. About 15 years ago, they produced a DVD which they...

Yes. In the past they have borrowed the slides from Genesis. Not sure if they have made copies or still use the originals. You have to remember this was from 1974. Some of them are a bit cheesy...

Sadly the US is sharply divided, with each side thinking they are the previvors of the absolute truth....

Seasons Greetings!

I think it is fair to say he does not like ELP: https://somethingelsereviews.com/2013/02/09/i-cant-honestly-say-i-love-them-steven-wilson-bows-out-of-future-work-remixing-emerson-lake-and-palmer/

LOL!

LOL.

I do remember reading, I think in the Genesis Archive 1967-75 box set booklet, a comment how in 73/74 ELP was staying in lavish hotels and Genesis was staying in some shabby hotels. I am...

Members of Genesis seemed to love to slag ELP. While Peter and Tony loved the Nice, they do not have a lot of nice things to say about ELP. Phil even mentions Carl in his autobiography saying...

That might explain this.... (Please note The Onion is a satirical publication)

I am not too sure about this. When Keith Emerson died, RS had it all over their website, but not a word was printed in the magazine. (I canceled my subscription). They might be filling up their...

A lot musicians played Alembics (let's not forget Stanley Clarke) wonderfully, but I believe few of them played an 8 stringed one. I always wondered if the extra strings caused the sound?

LOL. All I ever think about was the god-forsaken 'plink, plink plink' of Greg's 8 string Alembic bass. YUK!

The first time I saw ELP was with the orchestra and and it was great, for this ELP...

This program is lite on a lot of things. There are two other ones like this: Progressive rock: Half of the 30 minute program focuses on Rush and the balance on Genesis, Yes and Atomic Rooster. ...

Instead of becoming Schaumburg? ;-)

Well, if you want to live like a Rock Star, you need to successfully tour (i.e.: bring in $$$$). It's not like The Stones do these huge tours, because they "love to perform". If they did, they...

I have always found Tony to be an odd sort, but it is good to see that therapy is working out for him. :-)

I know you mentioned Providence. I believe that there are two shows. I am a big fan of the Lampinski recording of the Providence show:
...

WOW! I was at the same two shows. I too 'had' to return the Zep ticket for a refund (although I had paid $20 to a scalper for an $8.50 ticket). Stomach ache, my ass!

ELP with Orchestra June 4, 1977

Ticket $10.00 (I think the service charge was a whopping $.0.60!)

Soldier Field Chicago

15 years old

No stub :-(

A show from this tour was officially released in 2015: https://www.allmusic.com/album/live-in-boston-1988-mw0002864959

While agree on your comments, I didn't feel it took away from the show which was great. I wish they would to this again.

It is well know that Phil was a whore. He seemed to play with anyone (not a bad thing mind you), but I do wonder if that is how he wore is body out. The poor guy is the poster-boy for the walking...

I didn't realize he did a Peter Gabriel impersonation. ;-)

That is freeking awesome!

It seems that most of the stuff went over the estimates:...

He did do a Soundstage in Chicago, where they are are filmed, in 1992. (I saw him a few days later in the Park West in Chicago) This was the only evidence I could find for this show: ...

It appears that Keith Emerson's estate is auctioning off most of his equipment:

Originally TMB was going their drummer at the time (Martin Levac) who was Phil's doppelganger in voice, looks and drumming skills; but sadly he left the group. They then found another vocalist for...

Keith Emerson put out a Christmas album years ago. I have always enjoyed the collection of songs on it:

I would love to see a DVD of ELP from the 73/74 tour, and not the California Jam, but a show with ELP’s own stage with the complete concert.

As for the Lamb Lies Down, go see the Musical Box it’s...

Led Zep: It used to be Achilles Last stand, but over time I have started to like it: Dazed and Confused or No Quarter

I didn't watch it, but will someday.

There are site which you can stream it for free (or even download) and I have to assume they are illegal, but they exist. Eventually the series will be...

Biggest: ELP/Foghat/J. Geils/Climax Blues Band, Soldier Field - Chicago, 1977 (80,000 +)
Smallest: Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Cabaret Metro - Chicago, 1985 (Maybe 100 folks, maybe)

How could you? The man is constantly touring! ;)

Three cheers for Tony!

Love so many things he has played on. I really liked his Tony Levin Band and wish he would resurrect them again one day.

I also enjoy his road blogs and appreciate the...

Of the two, the knee-jerk reaction is BSS. But, every time I listen to Trilogy, I wonder....

I have never been happy with the sound of BSS, but I love the sound of Trilogy. I always wonder how...

I had to laugh when I read this. While this might be true of the US version of the album, the UK version is quite different and is really good! (I actually never listen to Sides 1 & 2...)
