Really puts on a drum clinic with these solos, reminding you why he's a living legend. Buddy Rich was great, but guys like CP and Neil Peart take drumming to a whole 'nother level...
His speed and energy, esp. for a man of his years, is incredible. Of coz, being in great shape def. helps !
The cymbal work is particularly impressive, and that "worm" trick with the stick is always a crowd-pleaser (even if it's a tiny bit gimmicky) !!
NIce looking new Ludwig after the vistalites - CP often plays better solos when he's got a shorter slot as here, and also from 1983 with Asia at the budokan - on an MTV deadline...
During ELP, Carl was "the charactor", Keith Emerson "the Showman" and Greg Lake "the Voice". here we see Carl "the Charactor"! :)
