ELP announce gig on 25 July 2010
November 8th, 2009
It’s official! The announcement we though we’d never hear. ELP have finally committed to doing a gig in July 2010. They have agreed to headline the UK based High Voltage Festival. I don’t know much about the festival but it has to be worth the trip to see the band perform live again.
The official announcement on ELP’s own site and Tony Ortiz’s site promises that we can expect ‘canons, pyrotechnics and a supreme production alongside the stunning musicianship and songs that made ELP the legends they truly are’.
Hopefully we can get to hear some songs which we dont often hear live such as Trilogy, Karn Evil 9, Pirates, Canario (c’mon even Carl’s band plays it on guitar!), Living Sin (c’mon Marc Bonilla carried it off)
I was at ELP’s debut gig in the US at Theil College in Greenville, PA on April 21, 1971. The amps died a few time early in the show, but once they solved the power problem, ELP blew the roof off of the place.
There couldn’t have been more than 1000 people at that concert. The next year I say ELP in concert in Miama, FL during Spring Break ‘72 and there were probably 20,000 people there.
I’ve been a lifelong ELP fan since that first concert in ‘71.
I wonder when tickets will go on sale for the July 2010 concert… and how to purchase them. I’ve registered for the soon to be launched ELP website.
Tony, Cheers for the reply. I guess like most ELP info ticket info will remain a well kept secret!
