Yeah, I really hope so. It then might appear on youtube sooner or later...

watched this and a couple of observations.

Thought Foreigner were brilliant and particularly impressed by Kelly Hansen the lead singer. Thought he sounded great.

ELP were awful, i'm sorry but how did they become so massive. [No Greg Lake jokes intended!]. Carl Palmer a great drummer though.

Paul,

I was there, and Foreigner were brilliant, indeed. Totally unexcpected.
And Yes, Kelly Hansen was impressive. Awesome performance.

As for ELP:
Greg Lake has apparently added a bit of weight, reason's as simple as that he 'likes to eat' - at least that's what I have read! Besides he quit smoking a few years ago, and that adds aswell.
Unfortunately their performance was a bit rushed due to a delay caused by Down 'n Outz & Ian Hunter and problems with KE's keyboard rig and the monitoring.
I consider ELP groundbreaking and 'massive'. There isn't any band like them.
I have been listening to them since I was 13 years old and I'm glad I got to see their - as it seems - last ever performance.

Cheers,
Christian

the reason H&H arent on TV is because their set is coming out on DVD to help raise funds for the RJD Cancer Charity.



Currently listening to the album Swagger by Gun

I don't know what it is about ELP. I think it is the lack of guitars! I mean, i love Jon Lord/Deep Purple so i have no problem with keyboards!

Foreigner over the years have really written some truly great rock songs. I just thought those two tracks really sounded great and if people weren't rockin out to them they must be mad!

Best wishes,

Paul
