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 Aardvark Aardvark Progressive | Tapestry | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd April 2013 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aardvark Aardvark £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Tapestry SKU: TPT224 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dream Theater Lost Not Forgotten Archives: Live in NYC – 1993 Progressive | Inside Out | 2CD, 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th March 2022 £29.00 - £36.00 Select options Dream Theater Lost Not Forgotten Archives: Live in NYC – 1993 £29.00 - £36.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Inside Out Formats: 2CD, 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th March 2022 Read More Select options Nearly New View Product Quick View Black Widow IV Progressive | Black Widow records | 1LP Released 1st November 2023 £27.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Black Widow IV £27.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Black Widow records SKU: nn275517 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st November 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Ultimate Spinach Behold And See Progressive | Akarma | 180g, 2LP Released 10th June 2013 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ultimate Spinach Behold And See £31.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Akarma SKU: AK1202 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 10th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Emerson Lake & Palmer Black Moon Progressive | BMG | 1LP, Picture Disc Released 25th November 2022 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Emerson Lake & Palmer Black Moon £25.00 Genre: Progressive Label: BMG SKU: 4050538776225 Formats: 1LP, Picture Disc Released Date: 25th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Edgar Broughton Band Oora Progressive | Timeless | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th January 2019 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Edgar Broughton Band Oora £26.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Timeless SKU: TIME734 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Edgar Broughton Band Wasa Wasa Progressive | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th March 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Edgar Broughton Band Wasa Wasa £19.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1370 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Magnum The Visitation Progressive | Steamhammer | 2LP Released 14th January 2011 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Magnum The Visitation £21.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Steamhammer SKU: 308391 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th January 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Olivia Tremor Control Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume I Progressive | Chunklet | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 26th May 2023 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Olivia Tremor Control Black Foliage: Animation Music Volume I £36.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Chunklet SKU: CHKLP007 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alan Parsons Project Pyramid Progressive | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 29th July 2011 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alan Parsons Project Pyramid £19.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP335 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th July 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Progressive Start again
