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 Procol Harum A Salty Dog Progressive | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd August 2017 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Procol Harum A Salty Dog £50.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL1474 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Hackett Under A Mediterranean Sky Progressive | Inside Out | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 22nd January 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Hackett Under A Mediterranean Sky £23.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Inside Out SKU: 19439815571 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pineapple Thief, The Dissolution (Coloured Vinyl) Progressive | Kscope | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 31st August 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pineapple Thief, The Dissolution (Coloured Vinyl) £19.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE997 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dream Theater Live at the Marquee Progressive | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 24th June 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dream Theater Live at the Marquee £20.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1439 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yes The Yes Album (Atlantic 75 Series) Progressive | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 30th July 2024 £75.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Yes The Yes Album (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 064-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 30th July 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View King Buffalo Acheron Progressive | Stickman Records | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th January 2022 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders King Buffalo Acheron £27.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Stickman Records SKU: PSYCHOBABBLE123 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tripsichord Tripsichord Progressive | Akarma | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th September 2013 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tripsichord Tripsichord £32.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Akarma SKU: AK0772 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frost Day And Age Progressive | Inside Out | 2LP, Includes CD Released 14th May 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frost Day And Age £23.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Inside Out SKU: 19439842991 Formats: 2LP, Includes CD Released Date: 14th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Camel Moonmadness Progressive | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 1st November 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Camel Moonmadness £18.00 Genre: Progressive Label: UMC SKU: 7782856 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Porcupine Tree Lightbulb Sun Progressive | Transmission | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 11th June 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Porcupine Tree Lightbulb Sun £20.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Transmission SKU: TRANSM222LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 11th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Progressive Start again
