Customer Reviews of Emerson Lake & Palmer - Live at the Royal Albert Hall
good but could have been better Don't misunderstand me, I am a long time ELP fan however my expectations go back all way to concerts in the 70's when they toured with a full orchestra. Certainly the last two tracks of the concert bring life to this dvd and finished strong. If you are a long time ELP fan you will not be dissapointed. Gregg Lake voice sounds good but stage presence was lacking but did he ever have stage presence. Keith Emerson was the highlight of the concert and truely shows what a great talent he brings to ELP. That in itself is worth getting this DVD and seeing his talent... Pirates is reproduced very well and was the highlight of this dvd. ...
An amazing performance!
I miss Emerson, Lake & Palmer very much and was disappointed they did not produce one last concept CD before they went their different ways. I don't know what it was about them that excited my blood, and still does. Sure there was the music, the lyrics, the showmanship. I was lucky enough to see the BSS tour and have seen ELP live four different times since, sharing the last concert with my 11 y.o. son. This DVD captures the remarkable talent of the trio. Their incredible unique ELP sound! This DVD is the next best thing to being at the Royal Albert Hall, front row. Sadly enough Black Moon was cut from the show for this DVD. Why do they do that????? Thank you Keith, Greg, and Carl for all you have given over the years on stage and disc. I wanted MORE. But that's how it goes, C'est La Vie. Alas, the Show That Never Ends lives on on this DVD.
Close But No Cigar
Yes and ELP were 2 of my favorite groups of the early 70s. Having seen ELP twice in '74 and '77 (Yes, I've seen 4 times), I have to say this is somewhat of a lackluster performance. The dynamics of their earlier performances just isn't there. Not that there aren't any good moments. Rondo is a real knockout with Keith revisiting the good old days of abusing his Hammond organ.
Greg's voice seems somewhat strained but still retaining it's richness. But what do you expect, the guy's nearing 50. Even the ever durable Paul McCartney is starting get a little ragged.
As a drummer myself, Carl was of course one my favorite drummers of the 70s and still is. However, his solo during Pictures is a bit of a disappointment. He just doesn't whizz around the drumset like he used to. He spends more time playing cymbals and gongs than he does playing the drums.
All and all it's still fun seeing these guys performing again and this dvd is the best thing to get from them. But if you want to see them in their prime, check out the Montreal '77 concert dvd available on their website. Picture and sound has a bit to be desired, but the energy of their performance really comes out. Even Carl has a 10 min solo on that beautiful custom steel drumset he used to have (He ended up selling it to Ringo). And OH if they could only just restore the California Jam footage! You get the picture!
