MUSIC NEWS - Progessive rock legends, Keith Emerson and Greg Lake have announced plans for an intimate North American tour as a prelude to the July reunion of ELP in the UK ! The two man show with keyboard legend Keith Emerson and voice and guitars of Greg Lake is being called an “unplugged” night of music with them performing ELP, King Crimson, The Nice and solo career tunes.
The show is completely new, as the two have never performed together, and likely to be a special evening as they're performing in personal setting. Audiences will be treated to an emotional perspective and a rare and personal insight into the music the two rock idols love during an evening the audience won’t forget, in a setting far different from the theatrics of Emerson Lake and Palmer in their stadium show heyday (though we hope some keyboards get knocked over !).
UPDATE 4/3/10 - The tour's Thursday (April 1st) in Cleveland, OH has been cancelled as have the weekend shows in Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Emerson posted the follow message on his site; "The production we had hoped to put on was lacking in its musical and technical preparations... I could not appear in front of an audience with high-expectations unprepared..." The tour is now scheduled to start on April 5 in Annapolis, MD.
