Superb...breathes new life into old classics

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2009

I held off buying this one for a long time. Mistake! This DVD is phenomenal. The band is phemonenal. Ditto the arrangements. I actually had the DVD on my table for over a week...from the moment I put it on, I was in rapture! Greg indeed has not been in this fine form in years. He sounded tired and raspy during the ELP tours of the 90's...not on this performance. These renditions of classic ELP and King Crimson material are stunning. The audio is superb, as is the camerawork. Greg's voice is better than I've heard it since the eighties.

And no, I'm not just one more rabid ELP fan gazing through rose-colored glasses...I don't award a five-star rating to much of anything! I can't wait to burn the audio of this show to a CD-R. Greg also displays a humble outlook as he shares between songs. Very refreshing on a concert DVD. The arrangement of Take a Pebble includes an astonishing guitar solo from one of his band members. If there's an "uninteresting" track on this disc, it would have to be Pictures at an Exhibition, simply because the arrangement is virtually identical to the studio version ELP did back in the early 90's. It's still a strong performance, too; I had merely gotten "spoiled" by the fresh twists in the other classic material.

Having also seen footage of Keith Emerson's band from 2006, I'd say he and Greg Lake are performing better with the "fresh blood" of new musicians inspiring them. Stop pining away, waiting for an ELP reunion that probably won't happen ( and ask youself if you truly want to see the musical equivalent of Kirk, Spock and McCoy "on deck" in their sixties! )...this is about as good as it gets.

If you believe that a person can make, create, his own good fortune, 'luck' if you will, then by all measures Greg Lake is King. Forget the "he's too old" or the "his voice doesn't hold up" critics, there is plenty to enjoy throughout this video. Is he an old man? Most certainly. Does his voice sound like it did when he originally wrote and sang some of these songs? No, it does not. But when you put everything into context, his career, his tours, the bands he as started/joined, etc., this is the most logical place for him to end up. Perhaps Greg is a cat who has used up 6 or 7 or maybe even 8 of his lives, but what he brings to the show in this video is remarkably pure. Fancy editing and studio overdubbing might have produced a 'better' video, but it would not be a display of Greg's talent. What you get here is very real.

This is an excellent video from start to finish. Greg isn't the grand showman, there isn't a lot of flash or fanfare, but there is a very real, very true, very honest career on display. To the person reading this, it is obvious that you have an interest in Greg and for that reason alone I would encourage you to 'take the plunge' and get this video.

This DVD set is fantastic. Greg Lake put together a great band (a young, great band), and they all learned to rock out Greg's songs. Althought he is older in this, and a little chubby, his singing voice is still beautiful, and powerful. The first DVD (of the concert) is great. But the second DVD, with the rehearsals, is much better. The videos of the Greg and co. rehearsing are the best versions of the songs, imho.
There is one thing that these DVDs prove beyond a shadow of a doubt- Greg Lake doesn't need Keith Emerson to have an incredible career in music. He doesn't need Emerson at all. It is very interesting to hear Floria's guitar interpretations of Keith Emerson's keyboard work. His way of playing these songs is refreshing, a definite rock interpretation. The keyboardwork of this band is completely different from Emerson's, but sounds great. Yes, ELP did excellent originals, and, in some cses, are better than the music of this package. But Greg and co. breathe new life into them.
BUY THIS. I'm not kidding...

This is usually a pretty cheap disk. The video production value is pretty non-flashy. Simple stand and deliver stuff. No background video crap or odd camera angles. No glitz. No long drawn out stories about how it all happened. His voice isn't as polished as it once was, or maybe that was just the production style used at that time. But the music...! Ah, the music.... It's worth it just to watch the guitarist. The kid is excellent! Anyway, I didn't pay much for the DVD and I really enjoyed it. Made for a nice evening's entertainment.

The Guy Still Got It - Fantastic Concert & a Just as Good 1 Hr. Backstage disc. A must have.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2012

I could go on and on. But i won't. Just Buy The Disc!!!, you will not regret it. First of all. I'ts a 2 disc set. #1 is the concert. 14 songs listed and 1 more song not listed. The production and sound are stunning. #2 is a rehearsal, backstage, interviews, a church performance with Greg Lake and Ian Anderson,and more. This isn't your typical "behind the scenes Featurette". It's about an hour long, and I'm not sure which disc is better. They are that good.

I couldn't say how many dvd's I own that I watched once. I've watched this 3 times the past month. I'm of the era when ELP and King Crimson came on the music scene. Greg Lake always had a great voice. And now, well actually 2005 when this concert was performed, Greg still has the voice. It's not the Greg from 1969. But his voice is lower, of course mature, in tune, strong, and he sings with a heart that I don't hear in his early recordings.

unexpectedly excellent double cd

I am a ELP fan since the very early days. I followed them through the breakups and reunions. In 1998, I saw them for the last time and I felt they were just going through the motions. Their playing and Greg's singing, in particular,were not the quality that I expected of them. However, with Keith's recent comback album and this great dvd, I am now saddened that because of Keith's hand troubles, they won't be touring, perhaps ever again. As to this album---- suprising because Greg's voice is stronger then ever.( dvd is from his 2005 tour)His band is exceptional. The songs he chose were extremely good. (From his years with King Crimson, ELP and his solo work. Specifically because he chose many songs that ELP probably would not have performed had they reunited including "Footprints in the Snow", "Farewell to Arms" and "I love You to much". All and all, an excellently performed concert by all. Greg, when are you going to tour again?

Die Seele von KC und ELP

Thank you, Greg! - Was für ein Konzert, sensationelle Musiker und ein Greg Lake in Topform bringen Gänsehautfeeling und bei Gregs stimme werden sogar Männer schwach... ;o))))

Greg Lake hat es mit Hilfe seiner Bandmitglieder geschafft, die zum Teil im Original doch etwas schwer verdaulichen Stücke von KC und ELP in ein neues Gewand zu stecken, ohne dass die Faszination und die Ausdruckskraft dieser Lieder verloren ging - im Gegenteil, sie wirken moderner sind insgesamt stimmiger, werden mitreissend vorgetragen und perfekt gespielt! Diese Band lässt Grössen wie Robert Fripp, Keith Emerson, oder Carl Palmer fast vergessen...

DVD 1 bringt das ganze Konzert von der 2005-er Tour in klaren Bildern und super Ton.

DVD 2 enthält auch noch eine ganze Palette von Songs, sowie Interviews mit den Bandmitgliedern und Hintergrundinfos. Alles sehr unterhaltsam "verpackt" sodass auch hier keine Schwachstellen entstehen.

Fazit: Eine der besten Konzert-DVD's die ich kenne und die in jede Sammlung gehört!

Vorsicht! Wer Emerson Lake & Palmer (ELP) hören will, sollte sich auch eine DVD von ELP kaufen, zum Beispiel ELP live in Montreux. Die DVD ist kein ELP-Aufguss und will auch keiner sein.

Hier gibt ein Sänger, der in legendären Gruppen wie King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer oder Asia gesungen und gespielt hat ein Konzert, in dem ein Abriss seines Schaffens dargebeoten wird. Und das ist klasse gemacht. Neben dem sehr gutem Sound und Bild, sind die Musiker erstklassig und das Ganze ist sehr ausgewogen. Klar, es ist ein Greg Lake Konzert, aber er ist dabei nicht zu dominant, sondern spielt (übrigens keinen Bass sondern "nur" Gitarre) sehr gruppen-dienlich. Kurzum: Eine der meistgehörten und angeschauten DVD in meiner Sammlung.

Greg Lake at his best

Reviewed in Germany on January 2, 2016

Wollte mal zu einem Konzert von Greg Lake gehen doch dann wurde es abgesagt. Auf der DVD hält er was er verspricht. Mit ausgezeichneten Musikern u.a. Florian Ophale an der Gitarre spielt er queerbeet Stücke durch seine ganze Zeit als Musiker. King Crimson, ELP und natürlich auch von seine SoloCDs. Man kann diese DVD empfehlen. Schade, dass es keine BluRay von Greg Lake gibt.
