    This band has meant so much to me. Thank You ELP!

    Carl Palmer to Keith Emerson:"Be careful!" Keith Emerson warmly slaps the back of the sound board operator, smiling, as he passes by. Greg Lake loosening up the stiffness in his fingers before he picks up his first guitar for the night's performance Sweet, candid moments like that are the reason it's a joy to be backstage! :)

    I was at this show. If the opening seems dramatic, it really was. The effect of the curtain dropping to the floor the same second the first riff from Eruption kicks in was fucking remarkable. It blew me away. One of the best concerts I've been to. The way they played Pirates that night I will never forget...
  • One of Rocks greatest band ever..the music was remarkable at the time because of its complexity, innovated..and there stage show was always stupendous..and the everyone followed there after with big stage shows.Thank you for this post greatly appreciated 🙏.

    A unique perspective few have the opportunity to witness! Amazing, and just goes to show that these genius musicians, are/were, after all, awesome human beings as well! They appear to share a genuine bond and enjoy what they do.

    I saw this great show, but in Toronto. The curtain didn't come down for the intro, so it was kind of a Spinal Tap moment 😎 So grateful to have seen the 3 of them together. But even more greatful to have been there with my then future wife. I lost her in 2021 😢

    kind of sad to see Emerson massaging his now failed right hand.....great vids, man.

    😂😂😂I thought I recognized the scenery...I was there...

    una de las mejores bandas en su genero,virtousismo y una metrica totalmente distinta a la musica de hoy
  • At 6:52, you can see Keith massaging his right hand, he was already having problems with it. So sad... And when the show starts, the guy at the camera is very very very bad...

    Absolutely tremendous! I shook Keith's hand at this concert. Thanks Ron, great job!

    I remember these shows at Radio City, was a real treat to be there, hadn't seen the band since 1977 when they were traveling with the orchestra. My wife was bored out of her mind until Greg played his acoustic numbers, she thought those were nice. C'est la vie.

    Thanks for uploading this and the other videos! It looks like Radio City Music Hall has a lot of empty seats. Sad. :-(
