Posted on Sunday, August 22 @ 23:00:00 UTC by nightowl

"Following our sold out presentation of Emerson & Lake on April 13th, it is with great honor and pleasure that Get It Promotions and FMPM invite you to celebrate 40 years of Emerson, Lake & Palmer with The Carl Palmer Band, on Thursday, October 14, 2010 at the Ges? - Centre de Cr?ativit? (1200 Bleury Street, Montreal).

Carl Palmer, the rhythmic backbone of progressive rock's first supergroup, has been hailed as one of the world's greatest drummers, thrilling rock fans worldwide with his dazzling speed and technical virtuosity. The Carl Palmer Band features Carl Palmer on drums and percussion, Paul Bielatowicz on guitar and Simon Fitzpatrick on bass. The power trio will serve up an all-instrumental show, entitled "Carl Palmer Celebrates The Music of ELP."



?'This is a trio, which ELP also was, but we have replaced the keyboards with some very powerful guitar interpretations of that classic music. Although ELP had a lot of vocal hit songs, we were really about musicianship and conveying the spectrum of emotions through our instruments. Many of the classic elements of these songs remain, but they have been updated and reinterpreted through my band" says Palmer. Among the songs featured in the show are: "Tarkus," "Fanfare For The Common Man," and "Hoedown."'

"An exclusive pre-sale for FMPM and Get It Promotions fans begins August 21st at 9:00 AM at www.progquebec.com.

"We have reserved the very best seats for our pre-sale and tickets will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

"The show will begin at 8:00 PM and doors open at 7:00 PM.
