Keith Emerson and Greg Lake welcome original King Crimson flautist Ian MacDonald to final tourdates

May 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Keith Emerson and vocal and guitar legend Greg Lake welcome original King Crimson flautist Ian MacDonald to the final two dates of their first North American tour.

“An Intimate Evening With Keith Emerson and Greg Lake" is  wrapping up the final two dates of their debut North American tour with special guest, King Crimson original flautist Ian MacDonald, at the Sherman Theatre in Stroudsburg, PA on Friday May 14th and at Xanadu Theater at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City NJ this Saturday May 15th.  

“This is probably the closest people will ever see to the original King Crimson, “ explains vocalist and guitarist Greg Lake. “As we are inviting audiences to experience the music as it was written and originally performed, it was natural to invite Ian to join us.”

The tour has played to sold out houses across the country  as fans have taken advantage of their first opportunity to see the one of the world’s greatest keyboard players in Keith Emerson and  hear Rock and Roll’s defining voice and guitarist, Greg Lake, join forces for the first time in an intimate setting which invites audience participation in the show.

It is “Emerson and Lake Exposed” said one critic, explaining  that the interaction with the audience along with the true stories of how the  selected songs from the Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson and Nice catalog came to be written provides each audience with a uniquely different show every night.

Critics and fans alike have been praising their recent musical intricacies on this current tour in a very intimate setting that has been purely phenomenal and fan captivating.  The addition of Ian MacDonald, whose writing and instrumentals flavoured King Crimson and Foreigner , brings yet another dimension to audiences as they see the music they love performed in a way that they never have before.

So intriguing and different is each show, which includes not only storytelling by Emerson and Lake, but a question and answer session with audience members, that some fans have been to as many as a dozen shows , experiencing something different and wonderful each time.

“You can’t get tired of it,” says one who has seen half a dozen shows on the tour.  “It is different absolutely every night and they get better and better.  Greg’s  voice is the best it has ever been and I never get tired of watching Keith at the keyboards. Truly amazing!”
