To: From: "Thomas J. Stacho" Subject: ELP at Blossom Music Center Date: 8/24/98 7:18 AM To the die-hard Emerson, Lake and Palmer fans: What a show at Blossom last Friday. I only went there to see ELP (not Dream Theater or Deep Purple) as I do each and every summer here in Cleveland. Keith, Greg and Carl appeared to be at their best! I was really anxious to hear Greg's voice! He definitely has it back...strong, clear and powerful. All three of the guys looked like they were having fun on stage; smiling and goofing around with each other. I really was looking forward to a "Time and a Place" but unfortunately it never made the set list. Tarkus, third movement from Keith's piano concerto, C'est La Vie, Lucky Man, Carl's drum solo and 21st. Century Schizoid Man is what Emerson, Lake and Palmer do best...and they did! I almost had the opportunity to shake Greg's hand at the end of the show but the bouncer pushed me back! May be next summer.. tom tarkus@alltel.net
