(March 3, 2010) =========================== Prelude =========================== Hi. Not a lot of contributions for this issue. However, the excitement and anticipation of the Keith Emerson and Greg Lake tour is building. And, those lucky enough to be able to be in or travel to London for the July reunion of ELP at the High Voltage Festival are probably starting to get their plans in order. (Asia - with Carl Palmer - is also playing at the High Voltage Festival. A big treat for Carl fans!) Also, a Europe-based ELP Tribute band has booked a US tour so that should be interesting, too! So, I've tried to gather up the latest tour schedules for all of these activities and feature them here. And there's a Greg Lake interview and a question from a reader who's trying to determine which Hammond organs are bested suited to getting that Emerson sounds.

Hello John! I' m always reading ELP Digest and have a doubt about Hammond Organ. I need an answer soon because I need to set the purchase of Hammond Organ… The question is: Can a Hammond XK3c Traditional System (with upper and lower keyboards) makes the same sounds that Keith Emerson had done with the ELP and The Nice? I asked to salesman at Hammond Central Store and He just said yes...but I was not satisfied with his answer. I suspect he was only interested in selling me the organ without worrying about my real need. I would appreciate a lot if you can help me on this. Best Regards, Carlos Romero [ Editor's Note: if you reply to the ELP Digest (elp-digest@reluctant.com), I'll forward your comments to Carlos as well as include them in the next Digest. - John - ] =========================== ELP-related products, tribute bands, promoters (The ELP Digest does not endorse, etc.) =========================== From: Mauro Aimetti Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 4:26 AM To: 'John Arnold' Subject: ELP Tribute Project U.S. 2010 Tour FINAL UPDATE!
