Keith und Greg haben anscheinend einige ihrer gemeinsamen Konzerte in den USA sehr kurzfristig abgesagt.

Ich drücke dir jedenfalls sehr die Daumen, dass ihr Auftritt beim HVF wie geplant stattfinden wird. Carl war sehr zuversichtlich, als ich ihn vor kurzem in Freising danach fragte, er freute sich sehr darauf.

Wenn es stattfindet, wird es sicher toll werden. Da wäre ich auch gerne dabei! Vielleicht ergibt sich noch ganz kurzfristig eine Gelegenheit.

Die erste EL-Show soll am 5. April stattfinden. Ich finde die Absagen der ersten Shows unmöglich, vor allem aber, weil keine Gründe genannt werden.

Wenn das am 25. Juli in London auch so abläuft, wird es sofort nach meiner Rückkehr die erste öffentliche Verbrennung von Pictures at an Exhibition auf Vinyl aus erster Hand geben

Nun, das wäre wohl nicht die erste Show, die abgesagt wird. Aber, so wie es aussieht, darfst du deine LP behalten . Nach Carl Palmer hat sich nun auch Emo gemeldet, scheint so, als hätte er entweder zu wenig geübt, das falsche Equipment dabei oder die Playback-CD zerbrochen...was auch immer, sein Facebookeintrag lässt viele Möglichkeiten zur Spekulation. Immerhin sollen die ausgefallenen Konzerte im Mai nachgeholt werden - und morgen geht`s dann wohl wirklich los.

Ich hoffe immer noch, dass sich eine ELP-Tour im Herbst anschließt, die vielleicht wegen des Ticketverkaufs für das Festival noch nicht bekannt werden darf...
Aber da weiß BBQMaster sicher mehr.

Leider nicht! Ich habe den Insider Tony Ortiz gefragt, aber er hat mir (noch) nicht geantwortet.

Endlich gibt es ein richtiges Statement:

"I must apologize for the very last-minute cancellation of the show in Lakewood, and also of Glenside and Ridgefield shows, and for my absence of an issuance of any sort of statement.

The production we had hoped to put on was lacking in its musical and technical preparations. I was too distraught and embarrassed to come on stage to perform or even to announce the sudden cancellation myself, and to issue a statement immediately. What we were embarking upon was completely new ventures for both of us. I could not appear in front of an audience with high-expectations so unprepared. At that particular time, the quality of music I wished to present was more important to me than my reputation or financial gain. I now realize fully that the decision had a devastating effect on many including fans, my crew, staff, the promoters and the venues.

I will make every effort to fulfill our commitments to fans and friends at the re-scheduled dates in May for the cancelled shows.

I realize that I have disappointed my loyal fans. I know that many of you have traveled afar, used your precious vacation days, and spent your hard-earned money just to see the show. I am very sorry not only to those who came to Lakewood and those who bought tickets for Glenside and Ridgefield shows, but also all fans for whom I have deep respect.

I hope you can accept us delivering good shows, starting on Monday, April 5 in Annapolis, as a form of sincere apology.

Endlich gibt es ein richtiges Statement:

Schlau werde ich aber aus Emersons Facebook-Eintrag nicht... Scheint aber tatsächlich an ihm gelegen zu sein, wenn man Lakes Statement auf dessen Webseite glauben darf:


UPDATE: Official Statement from Greg Lake

To all my friends and fans: It is with great sadness that we were forced to cancel our shows in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

I am pleased Keith has admitted the reasons behind the cancellation, and I trust we can leave it at that.

The performance was ready; many of you heard or saw the sound check. Keith and I are both perfectionists.

You will see that Keith has released a statement on his site explaining he felt the need to cancel because of his worry that he couldn't perform up to standard. Keith is not the first performer to have experienced stage fright, and my heart goes out to him.

This has been a difficult time and we are now moving forward with a show we both believe is technically and musically wonderful. The crew and performers rehearsed non stop through February and March. I have dedicated my life to trying to make you happy through my music and nothing saddens me more than to see that you have been disappointed by anything I was involved in. Please accept that these cancellations were entirely beyond my control and know that I am doing everything possible to ensure that these shows are rescheduled as soon as possible.

I am looking forward to seeing each of you again. I take my fans, music, and personal and professional reputation very seriously.

Thank you for all your kindness and support.

Dann waren es wohl "technische Probleme".

[Member X]

Keith is not the first performer to have experienced stage fright, and my heart goes out to him.

Was heißt da "technische Probleme". Greg behauptet, dass Keith Muffesausen gehabt haben soll. Keith war aber in Frankfurt, Greg nicht Ich befürchte ganz ehrlich, dass sich da wieder mal ein paar Leute nicht ganz einig werden konnten Na ja, bis zum High Voltage Festival ist ja noch etwas Zeit und alle können sich bis dahin in top Spielform und -laune bringen
