Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Works

I saw them for the Wirks tour at Soldiers Field in Chicago. They said there were 80,000 people there. It was the last place they had the orchestra playing with them ( too expensive) I'm glad I was there, it's a memory. Greg Lakes voice was really strong and carried on the breeze from Lake Michigan.

Pirates

And of course the Fanfare for the Common Man written by Aaron Copeiand

For contrast the opening bands were Foghat and Climaxx Blues Band what a mismatch.

Emerson & Wakeman made me want to be a multi-keyboardist. Which I became!
Thanks guys!
