The band was not originailly going to tour the USA but the demand got them to add some USA shows. This could be awesome...at least for the eastern USA.

Carl Palmer has backed out of the reunion tour.


from DPRP:

KEITH EMERSON & GREG LAKE: Two out of three ain't bad, or so the saying goes. Despite the reunion gig at the upcoming High Voltage festival, Carl Palmer will not take part in a full-fledged reunion tour. Instead Keith Emerson and Greg Lake will be performing a series of concerts in the US under the name "An intimate evening with Keith Emerson and Greg Lake, featuring the music of Emerson Lake and Palmer, the Nice and King Crimson."


This special "unplugged" and intimate two man show is unlike any the two have performed, solo or with others, and we eagerly look forward to meeting you there.

The tour begins in April and the following dates are already booked:

April 01: Lakewood Civic Auditorium, Lakewood, OH
April 02: Keswick Theater, Glenside, PA
April 03: Ridgefield Play House, Ridgefield, CT - SOLD OUT
April 06: The Birchmere, Alexandria, VA
April 08: Nokia Theatre Times Square, New York, NY
April 09: Theatre at Westbury, Westbury, NY
April 10: New Bedford, MA Zeiteron Performing Arts Center
April 13: Montreal QC Place des Arts
April 16: Milwaukee WI Potawatomi Casino/Northern Lights Theatre
April 17: Merrillville IN Star Plaza Theatre
April 18: Indianapolis IN Murat Theatre at the Murat Centre
April 25: Los Angeles, CA Orpheum Theatre

Welcome back...to the show that never ends. We promise surprises and personal moments and a memorable evening that you will never forget.

This could turn out even better.
To have Lake focus on his Crimson material will be welcome viewing indeed. To have him actually include his awesome bass parts along with his epic vocals to Epitath and 'Court', would be terrific.
But, it'll probably be mostly accoustic, which is cool too.
