Recorded live during the Greg Lake 2005 Tour at the Stevenage Concert Hall, Stevenage, England on November 11, 2005.
“This recording exceeded my expectations. Greg's voice is better than it's been in twenty years! The band is top notch, too...he has a young guitarist that does a wonderful solo during the middle of Take a Pebble.
These versions of mostly ELP staples are faithful to the spirit of the original songs, yet with just enough of a "twist" in the new arrangements to breathe new life into them. He has two female backing vocalists who add just the right amount of oohs and ahhs here and there without being intrusive. The keyboard player and drummer are just right for this band...imagine the pressure they must have been under during rehearsals, playing with the ghosts of Emerson and Palmer hovering all over the music.
It's a shame that Emerson hasn't released an album like this of his 2005-06 band, as they are top-notch players as well. Yes, Greg's voice has deepened with age, but he had the sense to drop the key on some songs just enough to accommodate his voice limitations.”-Stephen Derosier
