Thats very special Brian. Now that Keith has this young japanese girlfriend named Mari... she keeps him up on things that come into his internet pages. He's a lot more alert now than he was a few years ago. I wonder why? :))
Well I did understand I was not communicating directly to him
It was a total surprise that night. I think Stacy was about to faint because I had told her nothing of what I had done because I was expecting nothing. Keith blew us both away.
We were able to get in touch with ELP's publicist and she delivered a had written thank you note from Stacy to Keith when they were back east. I heard he was very touched by it. Anyway a very sweet gesture on his part.

Great shots Linda and I am glad you got to see this. I was very fortunate to catch the E&L show here in LA. Greg's voice is so much better than the 90's. Do you know if he quit smoking cigarettes? Might explain the weight gain too. For 60 Carl looks pretty good. It must have been 4-5 years ago since played here with his band and he was in great shape then. Haven't seen any of the Asia shows.
Wish we could have been there with you to close down some pub afterwords!
We saw 3 of the E&L shows on the east coast. The first one was near the beginning when Greg still had a sort throat... and Keith wasn't looking so well either. But by the Keswick show, they were looking and sounding 100 times better. That last show in Atlantic City was just great. Greg's voice was pitch perfect and Keith's hand wasn't curling as much. They both seemed happier as well, made for a lovely evening, if I hadn't sprained my ankle on the boardwalk just an hour before.....but I waited till after the show before going to the Emergency Room....
Greg did stop smoking back in the 90s, but I think the weight gain is genetic, good living and lack of exercise.
Hey Linda this video was from the LA show. Keith was dedicating Prelude of hope to Stacy. I wrote him at his facebook page that she would be there being a relative of Amber Dubois in attendence. This was how he responded:

Great shots Linda and I was in awe that ELP still did the same things as back in the 70s with the keyboard wrangling, did Emerson knife it? Lake could do with an exercise bike but great to see him here. Palmer looking good and still doing the T Shirt gag! Awesome band, unbeatable. Post more pix soon wont you!

Thanks Jim! And to Bald Jean... I would have no problem if Greg Lake wanted to remove his shirt. After all these years and all the changes..."he "still turns me on".

Love it - only on ProgArchives... one of the very earliest forum members posts some fab shots of ELP's first gig in 15 years & of the 19 responses, 8 are about Greg Lake's weight & 3 are about age
Great shots Linda, good to see you back on the forum
