Rock and Roll Legends Keith Emerson and Greg Lake to tour USA in an exclusive intimate evening of musical retrospective highlighting the iconic music of Emerson Lake and Palmer, the Nice and King Crimson.
________________________________________
The two man show with keyboard legend Keith Emerson and the famed voice and guitars of Greg Lake is an intimate “unplugged” prelude to the highly anticipated reunion of Emerson Lake and Palmer at the High Voltage Festival in July, 2010 in the UK.   It is unlike any show either of the two have performed before, separately or with others.
________________________________________
The fabric of the show is the iconic music composed by Emerson and Lake throughout their careers and audiences can expect new perspectives as well as new arrangements of classic favorites as Keith and Greg relate the stories of their songs and discuss the compositions and people that influenced the celebrated music  the two created with the progressive rock bands that went down in history as the super groups that began a rock and roll era:  King Crimson , the Nice, and Emerson Lake and Palmer.  

The show is completely new – the two have never performed together in this personal setting and audiences will be treated to an emotional perspective and a rare and personal insight into the music they love during an evening they won’t forget, in an intimate theatrical setting which far different from the theatrics of Emerson Lake and Palmer.
