The show happened and it was fantastic!  The music was fantastic and Greg's voice was in great shape.  I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see them (as the two of them and their legion of fans) are getting older - this may be the last time.  I loved it!!

Yeah, I've been following the reviews on the website Garion81 suggested, and it's mixed reviews. Shame they pulled the video clip. Anything interesting from the Q&A bit?

I've gotten a hold of  a bootleg from the April 8th concert..sounds like a fantastic night. Seeing that the dynamic duo aren't playing the UK until July i wanted to hear how they sounded together. If you can't get to one of their concerts go find a bootleg...not hard to find. And hear 2 of the best proggies ever .
No apologies for finding a bootleg of them.

I've seen a few bits on youtube, before they were pulled, and they are looking very together as a twosome. Greg's voice is really strong, Emerson is really strong despite all his hand troubles. I've heard they are going for the full laser show as a threesome at the Voltage Fest, should be special.

I saw the show on April 10th.  Yes, Greg's voice is very strong and sounding great.  The rapport between them was great - so I don't get what was up with the early reports on the show cancelations.  I was also lucky enough to, ummm, get a hold of a little something from the show on April 8th at the Nokia Theatre :)

^ Is that true or is it a joke? It would be great to have such a performance.

Oh well, so it seems he was only present in 2 songs... it would have been great if he had added flutes (and perhaps additional keyboards) throughout all the show (and making wishes, if they had had a real drummer too, and then recorded the show and released it on DVD or CD...) Well, I wish I had seen it anyway. Thanks for the info.

I just watched the video, and it had the link to Lucky man too. I was never a great fan of I talk to the wind, but this version had the potential of being so cool... it lacked a bit on the chorus, but Emerson almost made some really beautiful piano additions to the song, at some points he was a bit audible and sounded great, but not long enough. Lucky man sounded good too with the flute, but the voice is just not the same it was when it was originally released and that takes points away (Lake used to have such a beautiful voice, too bad it was lost in the 90's).
