I didn´t know, that they performed recently, hope they will do again and then also in Germany where one of the greatest fans is waiting for them since many years.
Maybe Randy Newman is right about aging rock stars.... but seeing this brought back 1973 and listening to the quad sound on the floor on the Brain Salad Surgery tour. They didn't miss a note. Keith even brought out his dinosaur synthesizer rig (although no Hammond organs - he's gone synth for those), and Carl has doubled his drum kit. Greg - still love you, man. Thanks for shooting and posting this!
When I heard ELP in 2010 I could really hear a change as a result of age, and, quite simply, joints & tendons wearing out, but they brought me joy on so many many occasions alone, with friends, etc, and I learned my instrument and a string arrangement style from ELP, I learned to appreciate classical music through them. Mocking them would be the equivalent of sending my folks out on to an ice flow in the ocean cause they're now old. Show respect for the music and joy they've given us. Bravo ELP!
Give em a break, they wrote and played some of the most insane complex and hard-to-play music ever, probably most people now can't even do this much. Besides it's not like they went on a world tour expecting millions, they just want to give the fans a few more shows. And in addition to powering through several wrist injuries (E n P), and bein a few years out of the game, all of them, emerson has to play most songs including this in a different key than it was writtn to match L's deepening voice
People underestimate how difficult it is in a pure physical sense to perform music like this. I don't expect a pro basketball player to perform at age 65 like he did when he was 30...Thats why they should retire
BTW type search this on YT for very cool version: University of the Arts 'Z' Big Band - Karn Evil 9 - ELP
Since 1992 and Black Moon, former superstar progrockband ELP have successfully managed to destroy their once high rated image. Wy didn't they stop after Works Volume 1 ???? This is ridiculous. I was a big ELP fan from the start in 1970, but this hurts. RIP-Emerson, X - Large and Palmer.
Some of you seem to imply that because your ears are just oh so sensitive and the music no longer meets your strict standards, ELP no longer has the right to perform live and the rest of us who still enjoy them don't have the right to see them perform any more. You have the option to NOT watch them perform live or watch them on YouTube if you find them so difficult to tolerate.
seriously if it is about the music (and ELP was the best) then they should know when to stop. this is butchery, it isn't the ELP I love. Everyone loving on it is filling in the crap gaps with their imagination...fine. Love fest for old prog rockers. It's not what the music was meant to be heard like. Any cover band did this you guys would destroy them.
@Hopspop Okay let's see you live that long and sound as half as good as these guys. Look at Pink Floyd in the 80's they couldn't pull off a song without 10 backing musicians. You could at least give them props for doing it themselves. Keith had carpal tunnel surgery and still plays! Cover bands are just that PUPPETS. Not a creative force that should be respected for their far reaching influence. If you don't get old you die. Go "burnout for all I care and be forever young and ignorant.
@Hopspop I have to agree with you. ELP is still my all-time favorite band, and the reason I started drumming. I only saw them 5 times in the 70's (once with the full orchestra at Madison Square Garden). But to this day, memories of those 5 shows STILL blow me away, and when I watch the videos of that era, I can still feel that electric magic. But watching this, and seeing how far the mighty have fallen is very sad to me too. Once you've seen a diamond sparkle, a lump of carbon is uninspiring.
@Interst890 Are you a guitar player or what? A Jazz Bass is an electric guitar. He mostly played bass on all of their classic stuff except for the songs where he played an acoustic guitar. A Fender Jazz bass is a kick ass instrument. Many heavy songs have one on the recording.
@electricvideoperson i acutally am a bass player, PLUS i own a jazz bass, so i sure do know where you're coming from when you say it's a kick-ass instrument. basses are very much underappreciated and seldom used to their full sonic potential in most bands (high-register notes, slapping, trebly tone, etc). thank god for prog and jazz fusion which helped completely change the role of bass. i just thought that greg could've been using an electric guitar for those belting notes in the KE9 solo.
I think anyone who is disappointed that ELP got together one last time to do a live show is probably fearful, or at least not accepting, of the reality of aging. Voices deepen, fingers, hands, and arms aren't as limber or quick. But they're still fine musicians and the music is awesome, so why shouldn't we hear them perform live again ? If you want to hear exactly what's on the recordings of the 70's, then you kind of miss the point of ELP's wild and crazy improvisational quality....
Why are they even attempting this again? Just let the memories stay strong and vivid, without this sad lament to what used to be.
I saw them in their prime at The Oval cricket ground circa 72 and they were superb. One only has to listen to their first album to realise this will never really work in the here and now.
kieth is fighting arthritis hardcore as u can see so just be thankfull that talented bands like this still have the courage to play im one of their hugest fans saw them 3 times and all were great specially vegas where we were so close to the stage it was awsome
@DoctorGonzo32 As you can see in the video, there were some big cameras right in front of the stage. There were also some raised up behind the crowd. As far as I know they will not be releasing the video, but it did appear on Sky Arts network along with other High Voltage performances in late August. Hopefully they re-broadcast it!
@DoctorGonzo32 from what I have heard they will be releasing a video of the show,and I hope so,I came down from Glasgow just to see them and it was worth it.
But are these guys ever going to tour again? There was an acoustic Emerson and Lake concert last spring, but I'm waiting for the full electric show. Wow, this show also had ZZ Top. Saw Palmer last year with Asia.
OK to all you haters out there. In the early 70's (I was there) there was no MIDI and all the synths were mono, and Keith was unmatched for ability and speed. How about giving him credit for upgrading to polyphonic equipment and re arrainging the songs to match his current ability level so we all can enjoy a live performance! He will always be the greatest!!
Hi guys! Does anybody have the clip showing Keith on the theremin? I've checked all the videos here but no theremin at all! It would be great if someone could upload the "theremin clip". THNX A LOT!!!

Well...I'd give Emerson a pass for his playing here, given his carpel tunnel syndrome problems (that and a short rehearsal period) but while the nostalgia effect is certainly fun and the showmanship was still there...the actual playing was certainly sub-par.
Also Emerson is 65 soon to be 66 in November....age catches up to you eventually.
I was there Greg was bigger, Carl played better with Asia the day before and yet as a lifelong prog rock fan, I am so glad I made the effort. Im 50 an I wish Id seen them in their prime,circa 1972/3. How can anyone complain though? They are legends after all.
Oh god, they used to be one of the most amazing bands, maybe a reunion was a bad idea. No guitar, tons of missed notes, tempo issues, the whole thing was a mess. I'm not saying it was the worst performance I've ever witnessed, but it doesn't even come close to the epic-ness during the 70's.
This probably why they should never have reformed. Even if it is a one off. Keith misses notes and doesn't use both hands. Carl's drumming is nothing like that of the original recording which may have something to do with the reduced sized drum kit. and Greg is playing bass when the more dramatic elements required a lead guitar. The performance smacks of a bad sound check and an easy pay day.
THANKS for posting the video. I was going to travel to London for the High Voltage Festival. Unfortunately my work schedule said, "NO". ELP is my favorite group of all time. Can't wait for future postings!!!
I live in Iowa and saw the guys here in June of 1977. The greatest band of all time. Even with Keith's hand issues, he still plays better than ANY keyboard player out there. Oh how lucky you all were that actually went to this concert. Hey Keith, Greg, and Carl, what are the chances you will go on a quick tour in the US?
From all of us who couldn't make the trip across the pond THANK YOU for this!!!! They sound fantastic, I can't wait to hear Knife Edge. What else did they play??
They played Bitches cristal (after karn, I think),Barbarian (I tink after bitches cristal) , touch & go and farewell to arms too, but I don´t remember exactly the running order.
@RTBSeries I downloaded the audio of this show and the set list says 01. Karn Evil First Impression Pt 2 02. The Barbarian 03. Bitches Crystal 04. Knife Edge 05. From The Beginning 06. Take a Pebble 07. Tarkus 08. From the Beginning 09. Farewell To Arms 10. Lucky Man 11. Pictures at an Exhibition 12. Fanfare for the Common Man/Drum Solo/Rondo
awesome. Waited from 12pm at the front of the stage just to see these. So glad Emerson brought the stunt keyboard and the knives. Think Lake was a bit pissed off tho with the feedback at one point.. Palmer gotta be greatest ever drummer. AMAZING SHOW
@carlmurden "have you walked through the winds of FEEDBACK FEEDBACK" lol the whole show was amazing it's such a shame that it was their last, i can still hear those cannons
Pruneytoes: If you don't mind, what is the make & model of the video camera you used for this event? I am looking for a good video camera that makes the transition from camera to computer a snap. Thanks in advance!!
I see that hell has well and truly frozen over :) Great to see the boys together again...but why is Keith playing the entire song on the Oasys? The Hammond is right under it. And where's the Moog lead?
This has always been one of my least favourite ELP songs but I thought it came across well last night. The material from the first album rocked hardest. Did anyone capture 'Knife Edge' or 'The Barbarian' on video?
@flashbackcaruso Karn EVil 9 is one of my favirotes! I've played this first impression on a numerous of occations now and love it every time. I thought that was an incredible performance last night!
I was there, a bit more to the left then you were. It was an amazing show. Part of me wants them to tour so i can see them again, another part doesn't so i can gloat :P
Thanks pruney for uploading this precious and unique mterial, 500 characters in this box are not enough to describe, admire and appreciate this performance, living legends, masters of the stage, real professionals, a dream come tue ...
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I too could not make the trip and was in a very SAD state yesterday! This is just what the doctor ordered. ELP LIVES!!!
It was a great gig and I really, really, really hope they are here to stay (at least for a while). Great music, great band and High Voltage was, for me, a well organised and brilliant event.

@RTBSeries
They played Bitches cristal (after karn, I think),Barbarian (I tink after bitches cristal) , touch & go and farewell to arms too, but I don´t remember exactly the running order.
Fanfare/Drum solo/Rondo would be more appropiate.
Greetings from Spain.

awesome. Waited from 12pm at the front of the stage just to see these. So glad Emerson brought the stunt keyboard and the knives. Think Lake was a bit pissed off tho with the feedback at one point.. Palmer gotta be greatest ever drummer. AMAZING SHOW

@carlmurden "have you walked through the winds of FEEDBACK FEEDBACK" lol the whole show was amazing it's such a shame that it was their last, i can still hear those cannons

Keith should keep his hair this way. It makes him look much, much younger!!!!

Pruneytoes: If you don't mind, what is the make & model of the video camera you used for this event? I am looking for a good video camera that makes the transition from camera to computer a snap. Thanks in advance!!

@Nitebeat It's a FujiFilm FinePix JZ300 with 10x optical zoom and 12.1 MP. Only $179 at Microcenter, I'd highly recommend it.

Let us return to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and in ELP what is in ELP!
The music of ELP for me is a major art dissatisfies the late mister Gainsbourg there.
that of happiness
Thank pruneytoes for sharing
Rendons à Cesar ce qui est à Cesar et à ELP ce qui est à ELP !
La musique d'ELP pour moi est un art majeur n'en déplaise à feu Monsieur Gainsbourg .

Found Barbarian undestiguishable sound wise but Knife Edge was perfect

I see that hell has well and truly frozen over :) Great to see the boys together again...but why is Keith playing the entire song on the Oasys? The Hammond is right under it. And where's the Moog lead?

This has always been one of my least favourite ELP songs but I thought it came across well last night. The material from the first album rocked hardest. Did anyone capture 'Knife Edge' or 'The Barbarian' on video?

@flashbackcaruso Karn EVil 9 is one of my favirotes! I've played this first impression on a numerous of occations now and love it every time. I thought that was an incredible performance last night!

Welcome back ELP.
It was a great gig and I really, really, really hope they are here to stay (at least for a while). Great music, great band and High Voltage was, for me, a well organised and brilliant event.
