Created by Carl Palmer and his management with the full cooperation of the estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake, this production uses modern technology to bring the classic trio together again. Emerson and Lake, who passed in 2016, appear via concert video from a sold out 1992 Royal Albert Hall performance, while Palmer performs live on stage with his ELP Legacy bandmates Paul Bielatowicz and Simon Fitzpatrick. The players are precisely synced so the music unfolds as a complete and authentic Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert rather than a tribute show. Emerson, Lake & Palmer is an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970, uniting Keith Emerson of the Nice, Greg Lake of King Crimson, and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster. The band earned nine RIAA gold albums in the United States and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, shaping 1970s progressive rock with virtuosic adaptations of classical themes, jazz influences, and symphonic rock. Their sound famously features Emerson’s commanding Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano, along with acoustic pieces penned by Lake. Part of the Pepsi Rock Series Handcrafted by American Metal.
