Discussion Carl Palmer an evening with ELP
Has anyone gone to see the current Carl Palmer tour/event? It’s coming to somewhere an hour and a half from me this week and I’m debating taking off from work to go. Any one go? What did you think?

It’s interesting watching Keith’s keyboard parts being played on a midi guitar. Sounds good!

With the death of Peart, I think Palmer is officially the greatest living rock/prog drummer of our times. I'd go to see him just for that.
I know if I did, I'd have my 3 copies of 'Love Beach' for him to sign (LP/CD/8-Track) :)

Bill Bruford is still drumming.

I remember reading this dozens of times....
Bill Bruford retired from public performance inJanuary 2009 due to burnout and a desire to pursue other interests, including writing, academia, and family life. He has since written an autobiography, earned a PhD in Music, and run his record labels.
But I see he's playing with someone named Pete Roth. For as much as I like Bruford (saw him with King Crimson). I don't think he's as much of a force as Palmer.

Nope. But I’ve seen ELP. Emerson , Lake and ummm Powell.
It was a good show anyway.

I did several years ago, he still had/has it. Great show, great take on the ELP songs. Still an amazingly fit drummer for his age. I was astonished.
