The concert recording features ELP and King Crimson classic tracks such as “Lucky Man”, “Karn Evil 9”, “21st Century Schizoid Man” and “In The Court of The Crimson King”, as well as songs from his critically acclaimed first solo album from 1981. As a founding member of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Greg Lake has been a major force in music for over 40 years. He has long been considered a legendary voice and musical powerhouse whose impact changed the landscape of rock and roll. Many simply refer to him as “The Voice”. The Greg Lake Band made its live debut on one of the biggest stages available to it, the annual Reading Festival in England in August 1981. Much of the set was new to the audience – Greg’s first solo album would not be released for another month. But the band received a wild reception regardless, and there were enough old favorites on display to ensure the fans remained happy…including the show opener “Fanfare for the Common Man,” truly one of the most effective showstoppers ever to have opened a concert. The band’s full tour kicked off in October. Purposefully, Lake demanded smaller venues, the theaters and universities that truly represented a refreshing change from the monster domes he’d visited the last time he hit the road in 1977 with ELP. The string of shows launched in Wales, at Aberystwyth University, then moved onto Cardiff University, Dunstable Queensway Hall, Norwich University, Liverpool Royal Court Theatre, Newcastle Mayfair, Glasgow University, Edinburgh Playhouse, Sheffield Lyceum, University of Kent Canterbury, Birmingham Odeon, Leicester Polytechnic, Bournemouth Winter Gardens, Exeter University, St Austell Cornwall Coliseum, Crawley Leisure Centre and, finally, London’s Hammersmith Odeon. It was not an extravagant performance – no lasers, no levitating keyboards, no priceless Persian carpets. The myths and legends that surrounded ELP when they toured were all firmly locked away. The Greg Lake Band toured like a band, and on stage they simply took up their positions and played. Brilliantly. That last date on the tour is where this disc was recorded, in front of 2,000 fans who now had every note of Greg’s new album memorized, and the rest of the set firmly entrenched in their DNA: the snatch of “Karn Evil 9” that eased out of the opening “Fanfare”; “Love You Too Much,” the song Lake co-wrote with Dylan in what remains another of the tantalizing collaborations of the age; “Retribution Drive” and “The Lie” from Greg Lake. “21st Century Schizoid Man” and “The Court Of The Crimson King,” from Lake’s stint with King Crimson, wrapped up the evening in positively rhapsodic fashion, and, finally, “C’est La Vie,” from ELP’s Works. (The version of this track included on the CD is taken from a show in New York City 1981) “A single night at the tail end of a single tour, alive with promise, bristling with presence. And welcoming back some new friends, too” – Dave Thompson, writer Artist Gregg Lake Genre Progressive Label Purple Pyramid Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Medley: Fanfare For The Common Man / Karn Evil 9 Nuclear Attack The Lie Retribution Drive Lucky Man Parisienne Walkways You Really Got A Hold On Me Love You Too Much 21st Century Schizoid Man In The Court Of The Crimson King Bonus Track: C’est La Vie (Live in NYC 1981) Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Progressive View Product Quick View Airbag Identity Progressive | Karisma | 2LP Released 30th July 2012 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Airbag Identity £20.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Karisma SKU: KAR046LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 30th July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Yes Something’s Coming: The BBC Recordings 1969-1970 Progressive | Get Back | 2LP, Includes 7" Release Date TBC £40.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Yes Something’s Coming: The BBC Recordings 1969-1970 £40.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Get Back SKU: nn281940 Formats: 2LP, Includes 7" Released Date: Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Tobias Sammet's Avantasia Angel Of Babylon Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th October 2023 £60.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Tobias Sammet's Avantasia Angel Of Babylon £60.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: nn273925 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th October 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Soft Machine Wonderland Progressive | Secret Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th March 2022 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soft Machine Wonderland £18.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Secret Records SKU: SECLP117R Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Iamthemorning Lighthouse Progressive | Kscope | 1LP Released 14th October 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Iamthemorning Lighthouse £19.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE919 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gentle Giant The Missing Piece (2024 Steven Wilson Remix) Progressive | Chrysalis | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd February 2024 £23.00 - £25.00 Select options Gentle Giant The Missing Piece (2024 Steven Wilson Remix) £23.00 - £25.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Chrysalis Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd February 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Alan Parsons Project I Robot (Legacy Edition) Progressive | Sony Legacy | 180g, 1LP Released 30th January 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alan Parsons Project I Robot (Legacy Edition) £19.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 88985375411 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nektar Time Machine Progressive | Cleopatra Records | 1LP Released 22nd July 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nektar Time Machine £20.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Cleopatra Records SKU: CLPLP0495 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd July 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ozric Tentacles The Hidden Step – 2020 Ed Wynne Remaster Progressive | Kscope | 1LP Released 15th December 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ozric Tentacles The Hidden Step – 2020 Ed Wynne Remaster £22.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE1080 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blodwyn Pig Ahead Rings Out Blues | Chrysalis | 1LP Released 23rd July 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blodwyn Pig Ahead Rings Out £20.00 Genre: Blues Label: Chrysalis SKU: 5060516091416 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Progressive Start again
