Search - Greg Lake :: Live on the King Biscuit Flower Hour

From the voluminous archives of the King Biscuit Flower Hour comes this live set from Greg Lake (bass/guitar/vocals) at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on November 5, 1981. Lake, while on an extended hiatus from Emerson, Lake & Palmer (E.L.P.), recorded a pair of solo efforts in the early '80s. The show captured on Greatest Hits Live (2003) is circa his self-titled debut Greg Lake (1981) and features the artist leading an impressive backing band with Gary Moore (guitar), Ted McKenna (drums), Tommy Eyre (keyboards), and Tristian Margetts (bass). The stage performance is interspersed with indisputable classics dating back to a pair of pre-E.L.P. King Crimson cuts, as 21st Century Schizoid Man and In the Court of the Crimson King conclude this collection, both Fanfare for the Common Man and Karn Evil 9 are given workouts. The sole acoustic side Lucky Man is arguably the highlight, with Lake's skills as a performer and songwriter at their most prominent. This newly re-mastered set come with a new sleeve-note with comments from Greg himself and a enhanced booklet with rare photos and memorabilia.
