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 Devin Townsend Devolution Series #1 – Acoustically Inclined, Live in Leeds Progressive | Inside Out | 2LP, Includes CD Released 19th March 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Devin Townsend Devolution Series #1 – Acoustically Inclined, Live in Leeds £25.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Inside Out SKU: 19439857571 Formats: 2LP, Includes CD Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pineapple Thief, The 10 Stories Down Progressive | Kscope | 1LP Released 18th August 2023 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pineapple Thief, The 10 Stories Down £22.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE1148 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Alan Parsons Project, The Eye In The Sky – 35th Anniversary Box Set Progressive | Sony Music CMG | Box Set Released 1st December 2017 £99.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alan Parsons Project, The Eye In The Sky – 35th Anniversary Box Set £99.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Sony Music CMG SKU: 88985421862 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 1st December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Yes 9012Live – The Solos Progressive | Atco | 1LP Released 28th March 2024 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Yes 9012Live – The Solos £10.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Atco SKU: nn283402 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Nucleus We’ll Talk About It Later Progressive | Be With Records | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th May 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nucleus We’ll Talk About It Later £25.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Be With Records SKU: BEWITH126LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flower Kings, The Waiting For Miracles Progressive | Inside Out | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 8th November 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Flower Kings, The Waiting For Miracles £23.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Inside Out SKU: 19075985281 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 8th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View PFM The World Became The World Progressive | Cherry Red | 180g, 1LP Released 9th April 2012 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders PFM The World Became The World £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Cherry Red SKU: CRP114LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th April 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Walsh Black Butterly Progressive | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th April 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Walsh Black Butterly £24.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2097C Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Short Cross Arising Progressive | Out-sider Music | 1LP, Includes Insert Released 20th March 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Short Cross Arising £22.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Out-sider Music SKU: OSR023 Formats: 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 20th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Emerson Lake & Palmer Welcome Back My Friends To the Show That Never Ends Progressive | BMG | 3LP Released 26th September 2016 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Emerson Lake & Palmer Welcome Back My Friends To the Show That Never Ends £34.00 Genre: Progressive Label: BMG SKU: BMGCAT3LP7 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 26th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Progressive Start again
