London ’81 Gregg Lake SKU: CLP22281 Barcode: 741157222814 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Purple Pyramid Records Released Date: 16th December 2015 Buying Format: 1LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Purple Pyramid Records will be releasing legendary Greg Lake’s live album from the Hammersmith Odeon in London, November 5, 1981, featuring guitar hero Gary Moore on CD & vinyl! 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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Yes Topographic Drama (Live Across America) Progressive | Rhino | 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th March 2024 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Yes Topographic Drama (Live Across America) £25.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Rhino SKU: nn283400 Formats: 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Yes Fragile (Atlantic 75 Series) Progressive | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th December 2025 £75.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Yes Fragile (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 014-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th December 2025 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alan Parsons Project Tales Of Mystery and Imagination Progressive | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 8th March 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alan Parsons Project Tales Of Mystery and Imagination £20.00 Genre: Progressive Label: UMC SKU: 5377111 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rush A Show Of Hands – 200g US edition Progressive | Mercury | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 14th November 2017 £49.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rush A Show Of Hands – 200g US edition £49.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Mercury SKU: AMER8301 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mars Volta, The Octahedron Progressive | Clouds Hill | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th April 2022 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Mars Volta, The Octahedron £24.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Clouds Hill SKU: 4250795604983 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th April 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Between The Buried And Me Colors II Progressive | Sumerian Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th October 2021 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Between The Buried And Me Colors II £24.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Sumerian Records SKU: 0810016763932 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Van Der Graaf Generator Godbluff Progressive | UMC | 1LP Released 8th April 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Van Der Graaf Generator Godbluff £24.00 Genre: Progressive Label: UMC SKU: 0896105 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View TesseracT War Of Being Progressive | Kscope | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th September 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders TesseracT War Of Being £33.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE1199 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Black Cat Bones Barbed Wire Sandwich 180g Progressive | Tapestry | 180g, 1LP Released 31st October 2012 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Black Cat Bones Barbed Wire Sandwich 180g £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Tapestry SKU: TPT221 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Quatermass Quatermass Progressive | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th October 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Quatermass Quatermass £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2315C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Progressive Start again
