Carl Palmer has not one but two “super groups” to his credit.
As a founding member of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, he defined the art of rock drumming in the 1970’s on albums like ELP’s debut, Tarkus, Trilogy, and more.
The combination of his powerful drumming, along with Greg Lake‘s guitar and vocals, and the prodigious talents of Keith Emerson on keyboards, they were both a commercial and critical success.
Moving on to form Asia in the 1980’s, Palmer achieved similar success, with a debut album that went platinum and reached the #1 position across the globe.
Palmer is putting together a small 10-date tour that will bring him to the Shea Center For the Performing Arts on the campus of William Paterson University in Wayne. Called “Welcome Back My Friend – the Return of Emerson, Lake & Palmer,” the tour incorporates Palmer and his current band with footage of Emerson and Lake from a Royal Albert Hall performance.
Carl Palmer and Jim Monaghan chat about this upcoming tour, plus some exciting news about Asia.
