I just saw Carl and his "new" band ELP Legacy (Paul & Simon) play in March 2018 and OMGosh! He STILL drums with incredible energy & passion and he had just turned 68 the week before! He plays with the energy of a man half his age!!! And he smiles often while playing!! Totally phenomenal!! I was literally 5 feet away from him & have never enjoyed a concert as much as I did his!

For those of you wondering why you are seeing Steve Howe (not to mention John Wetton and Geoff Downes) in this video, it's because this is ASIA. On their US tours in 2008 and 2009, they played one gem each from their old bands' catalogs. For this year's (2014) fall tour they have enough material from their original and recent albums that I expect an all ASIA playlist. Carl will still stun with his solo, of course!

Met him personally in 1988. He asked my about my recording project for Riley childrens hospital in Indy and then asked if he could sign my poster. Of course he did and it still hangs on my studio wall. I’m humbled. I was just looking into Paiste pies at the time. At The Drum Center in Indy we met and He hand picked my Paiste 3000 ride and 14” Paiste color sound hats. Still my 3 fav pies ever- certainly best ride I’ve ever owned. He is kind and surgical precision in his drumming. TY carl. Drum on.

They each have their fans who think no one could possibly be as good as their personal favorite. Personally, I don't care about that. They are ALL INCREDIBLE, I just enjoy watching and listening to all of them. In this solo, Carl Palmer is incredible!! As has been said, he is not a young man here, but he still amazes!!

As an "old guy" who remembers when ELP was the current and popular music, and I can tell you that Carl has only gotten better with age. He plays cleaner and more precisely than he ever has. He's the exemplar of "keep learning." Back then, no one did stick-tricks like that: They came via marching snare drum. And a lot of guys CP's age would say, "I don't do that" - but Carl learned to! Fantastic!

Considering how he still seems in tip-top form compared to some of his contemporaries, Carl must have taken good care of himself in didn't give in to the excess of the '70's. All of the musicians on that stage are truly masters of their craft as they seem to actually get more precise as they age. I don't think we'll ever see the awesomeness and caliber of British progressive bands from the '70's ever matched.

Robert Marcotte Yes, I see it's been 3 years since you commented...but I gotta tell you I agree fully. I missed Long Beach; was there at Cal Jam & saw the Brain Salad Surgery Tour in San Diego where they recorded for the triple live "Welcome...ELP" album. For a common man, he's a most uncommon drummer! The best IMHO, inarguably the best I ever saw- and I've seen so many like you have, no doubt! He still ROCKS! We've lost Keith, Greg & Steve, but God Bless Carl for all he's given...and giving still!

I first saw ELP at the Spectrum in Philly in December 1973 during the Brain Salad Surgery tour. I had not heard the album prior to the concert (though I had all their previous albums; I wasn't an ELP newbie) and I was just blown away. Like you, I love the synthesized percussion on Tocatta. The studio version of Palmer's solo may be the best 75 seconds in all rock music.

KennethP55 Yep. To match or BETTER his awesome & complex studio work live in concert is almost inhumanly impossible. Carl is the best ever, IMHO. His 360° setup for that tour was amazing to see in person, as Carl hit drum heads as small as 4" reaching unseen behind his back! BTW: When Keith's grand piano arose & started spinning around, with it's gloss black finish under those mega-watt spotlights, I swear the effect made it seem like it was a see-through piano since the strings were visible... and maybe some vision enhancing stimulants helped the illusion a wee bit! The guy who yelled, "Get Crazy" was behind me in the upper level; that can be heard during the quiet part of "Just Take A Pebble...". Those were the best of times for rock concerts!!!

I saw the Tarkus Tour in '71" or '72' The ELP thing was just gelling and the band was just off the charts - 3 guys and so much musical ability. As good as CP really is - I do think Buddy Rich has his ability and musicality as well and please don't forget the original drum master Mr Krupa. How many have composed like him on drum kits? Carl Palmer is great but not at the exclusion of some of the other immortals please.

I saw Carl and ELP twice in my life and it was magic. Their unique style and their individual big and great talent on their instruments gave to their music a very high technical level. And Carl showed this in those great solos but over all in his incredible work on each single title. When i saw him playing tarkus i was impressed by his incredible level and talent and creativity

I saw ELP in 1977 and Palmer's solo was the hi lite of the show. Not to diminish the rest of the show. Palmer is just awesome!

I first saw Carl when he played with Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds. It was Carl's 17th birthday and Chris let him have a solo for his birthday...he was brilliant, finishing the solo with his bare hands. We knew greatness

Emerson, Lake & Palmer...and Howe? Yes! What a show! Carl doesn't get much love these days in "Top Ten" lists but any musician can appreciate his chops. The late great Professor listed Carl as one of his influences along with the incredible Buddy Rich. I agree with an earlier poster; rather than argue about who's the GOAT, why not just enjoy and appreciate all of these insanely talented musicians.

ELP is one of my all time favorite band, and I was fortunate to see them live in 1992 at Jones beach. That being said, when I heard Carl Palmer do the drum solo in Tank for the first time, I was very impressed with the complexity of his drumming skills! And I would venture to say, that Carl Palmer is right up there with Buddy Rich!

I'm a 63's professional singer. ELP brought me to be a musician although I was studying to be engineer. Beatles and J.S. Bach too. Carl is the only survivor. Long and beautiful life to him.
