The news is exclusively in Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine's Facebook page. My friend request is still pending, so I don't have details. They are reforming for a festival gig in the UK. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1601032754&ref=nf - Classic Rock Presents Prog ------------- THE PROG REPORT The Progressive Rock Fan's Guide To The iPod Revolution www.theprogreport.com |

To officially be "back" I am expecting a really good new prog album. Some would argue that they've only produced halfway decent prog albums. I could live with a new one of those. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The one interesting thing I noticed on their website is that the contact page contains contacts for bookings...which can only mean that that they intend to do much more than just a one-time show (like Zeppelin at O2)...

God only knows what songs they're going to perform live!!! It would be great if they played some of their epic masterpieces once again in their entirety, "Tarkus, KarnEvil#9", for example and cut out some of the newer material. |

Great optimism here tinged with a little caution... reformations don't always work & are the great Emerson's hands up to the rigours now 
Can but hope though  -------------

Who needs the money out of the three? I would like to see this work out and a new album as long as it goes in a new direction. |

From what I see this is for one gig no mention of an album or any other dates. I am not sure Keith's hand/wrist problem could hold up for a lot of dates. Maybe a DVD will come of it. -------------

...And they'll probably bring up a HUUUUUUUUGGGEEEEEEEEEE Tarkus replica from beneath the stage! ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win! The search for nonexistent perfection. |

Probably. Well, its better than a tiger in a spotlight. Talking of the tiger, I felt sorry for the poor animal when I saw it on the Beyond The Beginning dvd. It looked quite frightened. I would have been seeing the musical direction that they went at the time. I prefer a tarkus or a manticore. If they can't find a live one, then a cardboard one would be fine to me. And afterwards blow it to pieces with their cannons. They have to top Pink Floyd with their stage show some day. |

Don't think too much of it. It was not in its natural habitat. |

Hope they don't go the direction they went around the 90's (21st Century Schizoid Man, people of the eartg?) ------------- http://www.formspring.me/Aragorn224" rel="nofollow - Trendsetter win! The search for nonexistent perfection. |

You beat me to it. I got that link from DGMlive. The good news is that if Lake and Emerson are writing together again it seems that there could be some new material or even an album on the horizon. |

| They need to go dig out Carl's stainless steel kit from the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame for this. |

Carl's stainless steel drumkit was never in the RRHOF. Zak still has it.
If you go to Greg's new website, you can read the transcript from his online chat Sunday night where he stated that he and Keith now work long distance thru Skype.. and plan on producing new material.
Also I think Greg and Keith would like to do more than the one show at the festival next July.. but that Carl is pretty booked up next year with Asia and his own band. Greg even said something about doing something acoustical with just him and Keith.... Interesting.
Now wondering who else may perform at this UK festival in July (Victoria Park).. ------------- THIS IS ELP

I brought up awhile ago that it would be interesting to see ELP do a bare bones tour. Simple drum kit,piano and guitar. It would be nice to see what they could do with that in a theater venue. |
