Emerson Lake & Palmer

In July 2010, when Emerson Lake & Palmer graced the High Voltage Festival stage in London, they were riding a wave of nostalgia and musical celebration. This performance came after a long hiatus for the band, who had seen their original run stretch from the early '70s until 1998, marked by groundbreaking works like “Tarkus” and “Brain Salad Surgery.” They had only recently reformed for a series of live shows that began in 2010. This particular gig was significant, highlighting both their classic songs and their enduring appeal to fans old and new. There’s something magical about watching them perform "Lucky Man," a track infamous for its haunting lyrics and iconic Moog solo. The reunion celebrated not just their past glory but also the timeless nature of their music, proving that even decades after their inception, Emerson Lake & Palmer still knew how to captivate a crowd. It’s thrilling to think about the magnetic energy that must have filled Victoria Park that night!
