Here is the part that takes a second to process: Carl Palmer performs live while Keith Emerson and Greg Lake — both gone since 2016 — appear via video from a 1992 Royal Albert Hall concert, projected on massive walls alongside him in perfect sync. It is not a tribute act. It is Carl Palmer finishing what the three of them started, with full blessing from the Emerson and Lake estates. And from every account of this tour so far, it works.
About the Show
Palmer — Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and one of the most technically commanding drummers in rock history — is joined live by the ELP Legacy band: Paul Bielatowicz on guitar and vocals, Simon Fitzpatrick on bass and Chapman stick. The set draws from the band’s defining catalog, including Brain Salad Surgery, Tarkus, Trilogy, and Fanfare for the Common Man. Prog Magazine called it “the ultimate ELP experience.” That quote earns its keep.
If you want to go deep, VIP packages are available: a 45-minute pre-show Q&A with Carl Palmer, Bielatowicz, and Fitzpatrick, plus a one-on-one photo and early access to autographed merchandise.
Penn’s Peak
Penn’s Peak is a 1,800-capacity reserved-seating venue at 325 Maury Road in Jim Thorpe, PA — an old coal-and-railroad town tucked into the Pocono Mountains that is genuinely worth building a full night around. The whole room is reserved seating, which matters here: you want to know where you are sitting before the lights go down. Doors open at 6:00 PM, showtime at 8:00 PM. Give yourself time on the drive and plan to arrive early.
Tickets & Pricing
Tickets start at $27 for regular reserved seating, $32 for premium, and $37 for super premium reserved. Get your tickets here. This show is part of our Hudson Valley concert calendar and lands on the East Coast leg of the tour, which runs September 10–26, 2026. Penn’s Peak fills for shows like this. Do not sit on it.
