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 Spocks Beard Beware Of Darkness Progressive | Sony Music | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 29th January 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spocks Beard Beware Of Darkness £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Sony Music SKU: 88875176421 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cressida Asylum Progressive | Akarma | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd September 2013 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cressida Asylum £25.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Akarma SKU: AK229 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Van Der Graaf Generator The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other Progressive | UMC | 1LP, Includes Poster Released 8th April 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Van Der Graaf Generator The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other £24.00 Genre: Progressive Label: UMC SKU: 0896150 Formats: 1LP, Includes Poster Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Porcupine Tree The Sky Moves Sideways Progressive | Kscope | 180g, 2LP Released 5th May 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Porcupine Tree The Sky Moves Sideways £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE949 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 5th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jethro Tull Heavy Horses (Steve Wilson Mix) Progressive | Chrysalis | 180g, 1LP Released 16th April 2018 £48.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jethro Tull Heavy Horses (Steve Wilson Mix) £48.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Chrysalis SKU: 0190295757311 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View It Bites Map Of The Past Progressive | Century Media | 2LP, CD Released 22nd March 2012 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders It Bites Map Of The Past £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Century Media SKU: 0505821 Formats: 2LP, CD Released Date: 22nd March 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Patto Patto Progressive | Akarma | 180g, 1LP Released 10th June 2013 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Patto Patto £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Akarma SKU: AK185 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View King Crimson Islands Progressive | Panegyric | 1LP, 200g, Includes Download Code Released 11th September 2014 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders King Crimson Islands £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Panegyric SKU: KCLP4 Formats: 1LP, 200g, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neil Cowley Trio Spacebound Tapes Progressive | Phases | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 13th April 2018 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neil Cowley Trio Spacebound Tapes £10.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Phases SKU: PHA002V Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 13th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Porcupine Tree The Incident Progressive | Transmission | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd September 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Porcupine Tree The Incident £22.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Transmission SKU: TRANSM262LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd September 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Progressive Start again
