The Craig - I Must Be Mad
Released 1966
Richard King - guitar Len Cox - bass Jeff Brown - lead vocals Carl Palmer - drums |
A rampant, unhinged slice of freakbeat, all straining
amps and Carl's neo-Keith Moon style kit abuse. The recording is all the more
remarkable when one considers that Carl was a comparatively callow youth of
fifteen at the time. |

The Chants - Love Light
Released 1966
Eddie Amoo - vocals Eddie Ankrah - vocals Joe Ankrah - vocals Alan Fielding - vocals Nat Smedo - vocals |
This would be Carl's first paid session, playing on the song 'Love Light'. The Chants had a minor
footnote in the history of BritPop by dint of their being the first British based all black vocal groups. A
potentially tidy living awaited Carl as a session drummer but some sound advice from his father dissuaded him
from entering the world of recording sessions in a career way. |

Atomic Rooster - Atomic Rooster
Released February 1970
Recorded December 1969 - January 1970 Vincent Crane - Organ, vocals Nick Graham - Bass, vocals, flute John Du Cann - guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums |
It was with Atomic Rooster that Carl Palmer enjoyed his first real success as a founding member of a band.
At the age of 18, replacing drummer Drachen Theaker, Carl Palmer joined up with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown at the
absolute peak of their success following the smash single 'Fire' ("I am the God of Hellfire...").
Top 10 around the world, Palmer arrived at a time when the band was touring with some of the biggest names in music.
After brief rehearsals the lineup set out on an arduous U.S. tour alongside the cream of the rock world including the
Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Premier Cast of Hair, Iron Butterfly and others. Contrary to popular belief, Carl is not on the
LP recording, but he was the touring drummer for the record, playing over fifty gigs. From the first time
Palmer started working with Atomic Rooster he realized that a trio worked best for him. |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Released November, 1970 (UK) January 13, 1971 (US)
Recorded July to September 1970 at Advision Studios Billboard charts #18; UK charts #4 RIAA Gold Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
The outfit in which Carl's name would come to be carved into rock history. In the spring of 1970,
Carl Palmer received a phone call that changed his life forever. Keyboard virtuoso Keith Emerson was forming a new band
with Greg Lake. After trying out several drummers, including Mitch Mitchell, the two wanted Palmer to audition for a
spot in the new trio but Palmer was uncertain if he wanted to leave the growing success of Atomic Rooster behind.
Reluctantly, he agreed to meet and rehearse with the band and thank God he did. The following month the group
finished its self-titled debut album, instantly successful, it climbed to the Top 5 in England and the Top 20
in America. And included the classic single "Lucky Man". |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus
Released June 14, 1971 (UK) August 1971 (US)
Recorded January 1971 Advision Studios Billboard charts # 9; UK charts #1 RIAA Gold Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
The 1971 follow-up album, Tarkus, propelled the ELP's sound in new directions and was the first
real test for the band's cohesiveness. Palmer had come up with an unusual drum pattern he wanted to incorporate.
Arguments ensued and, when Greg Lake said he wouldn't be involved, it looked like that might be it for ELP. In the end,
there was agreement (or agreement to disagree) and the album, which for many came to define ELP's sound,
was released.
The cover artwork of the Armadillo tank and inside gatefold story were originated and painted by visual artist,
William Neal.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Pictures At An Exhibition
Released November 1971 (UK) January 4, 1972 (US)
Recorded March 26, 1971 Newcastle City Hall upon Tyne Billboard charts #10 UK charts #3 RIAA Gold BPI Silver Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
On the heels of Tarkus's rise to #1 on the UK charts and Top 10 in the America, ELP arrived at Newcastle
City Hall on March 21, 1971, to perform and record Pictures At An Exhibition live, their signature adaptation of Modest
Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition.' When released, that album too became a great success.
The album cover concept was originated, designed, and completed with 7 large original paintings by
visual artist, William Neal.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy
Released July 6, 1972 (US)
Recorded January 1972 Advision Studios Billboard charts #5; UK charts #2 RIAA Gold Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
Trilogy Increased ELP's worldwide popularity, and included "Hoedown", which was one of their most popular
songs when performing live. The song "Endless Enigma Part One" opens with the sound of a beating heart, an effect created
by the bass drum pedal of Palmer's Ludwig Octopus kit. Notably, this effect was invented by Carl Palmer before it was
used on Jethro Tull's 'A Passion Play' (1973). "From the Beginning" reached #39 on the Billboard Hot 100. |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
Released November 19, 1973 (US)
Recorded June to September 1973 Advision Studios Billboard charts #11; UK charts #2 RIAA Gold Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
The first under their Manticore Records imprint. It features cover art by surreal artist H. R. Giger.
The album cover is considered one of the most memorable (and often disturbing) of its time. Perhaps the band's definitive
work. Bearing such memorable work as 'Karn Evil 9', 'Still You Turn Me On' and 'Jerusalem', the album is highlighted
by 'Toccata', a reworking of Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera's Piano Concerto No. 1, and some of Carl Palmer's
most amazing drumming and synthesized percussion work. So incredible and original was the performance in fact
that Ginastera himself endorsed the recording. |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends...
Released August 19, 1974 (US)
Recorded February 2, 1974 Convention Center, Anaheim, Ca. Billboard charts #4; UK charts #5 Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
Originally released as a three-disk vinyl album, but is now a double CD, in a gatefold cover, the inside
of which used the letters "E", "L" and "P" as retainers for the individual disks. During 1973 and 1974, ELP toured on
their Someone Get Me a Ladder Tour all around the world, and this album captures the representative musical sound of
that tour. The title of the album comes from the opening line of the song "Karn Evil 9: First Impression, Part 2" as
well as the introduction to the performance, uttered at the beginning of the song "Hoedown." |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Works, Volume I
Released March 22, 1977 (US)
Recorded 1976 Billboard charts #12; UK charts #9 RIAA Gold BPI Gold Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
'Works, Volume I' is a double album divided into four major sections, one each highlighting each
band member, and one for combined works. It was decided that each would have a solo side followed by a fourth side
featuring the band as a unit. For his part, Carl Palmer's contribution featured big band recordings recorded with 60's
and 70's pianist & big band leader Harry South, as well as some individual tracks, including "LA Nights" with
guitarist Joe Walsh of the Eagles. The real gem from this period, however, was Palmer's own epic "Concerto for Percussion"
which, sadly, would wait nearly twenty years before finally being released on the Carl Palmer Anthology,
"Do ya wanna play, Carl?" |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Works, Volume 2
Released November 1, 1977 (US)
Recorded 1973- 1977 Billboard charts #37; UK charts #20 RIAA Gold Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
Works, Volume II was a single album which seemingly was a compilation of leftover tracks from other album
sessions that had not made those albums. While many derided the album for its apparent lack of focus, others felt it
showed a different side of the band, with blues, bluegrass and jazz being very prominent as musical genres in
this recording. |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Love Beach
Released November 18, 1978
Recorded 1978 Billboard charts #55; UK charts 48 RIAA Gold BPI Silver Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
Love Beach was the band's final album of original studio recordings until Black Moon (1992), and was
produced to satisfy contractual obligations with the group's record company. It was a critical and commercial
disappointment, charting at #55 on the Billboard 200, although it did eventually go gold. The group was reportedly not
satisfied with the album; drummer Carl Palmer even compared the portrait of the band in the cover photograph as more
akin to disco stars the Bee Gees. Critical appraisal of the album is mixed; some reviewers consider it the nadir of
ELP's 1970s output, while others refer to the continued popularity of songs such as "Memoirs of an Officer
and a Gentleman". |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - In Concert
Released November 18, 1979
Recorded August 26, 1977 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium Billboard # 73 Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
In Concert is a live album, recorded at the Montreal's Olympic Stadium which is featured on the album cover.
In Concert showcased fan favorites of previously released material. The band hired a 70-piece orchestra for some concerts of
this tour but eventually had to dismiss the orchestra due to budget constraints that almost bankrupted the group. On the
original release, the orchestra performs on "C'est la Vie", "Knife Edge", on Keith Emerson's piano concerto, and
on "Pictures at an Exhibition". The 1993 rerelease of the LP (Works Live) adds another four songs performed with the
orchestra: "Fanfare for the Common Man", "Abaddon's Bolero", "Closer to Believing" and "Tank". |

Man and blues guitarist John Nitzinger, along with Erik Scott and Barry Finnerty. The band, an attempt at Top 40-style rock,
released one album, entitled 1:PM, which was released in 1980 in Europe only. Success eluded the album and the band,
which broke up shortly thereafter. |

became a top 10 hit, peaking at #10 on the
Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Alpha was certified Platinum
by the RIAA on October 11, 1983. |

Asia - Astra
Released august 20, 1985
Recorded 1985 Billboard charts #67; UK charts #68; Japan charts #15 John Wetton - vocals, bass Mandy Meyer - guitar Geoff Downes - keyboards Carl Palmer - drums |
Astra is the last Asia album to feature John Wetton
on lead vocals until 2008. After being brought back
into the fold for their third album, Wetton and Geoff Downes forged ahead with this effort. Steve Howe, having left
sometime before the Astra sessions, was replaced by guitarist Mandy Meyer. Astra peaked at #67 and went largely
unnoticed. Wetton left Asia soon after the record's release. Meyer would never play with Asia again. The band itself,
after cancelling the Astra tour, was basically finished until 1990. |

3 - To the Power of ...
Released 1988
Recorded 1987 Keith Emerson - keyboards Robert Berry - guitar, bass, vocals Carl Palmer - drums |
3 were a short-lived progressive rock band formed by Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer (of Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
and Berry. Unsurprisingly, their music has elements of the characteristic ELP sound, but was criticized as less inventive and
having a bland AOR flavor. 3 did perform live to support their album, in 1988. |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Live at the Isle of Wight Festival
Released 1997
Recorded August 29, 1970 on the Isle of Wight Keith Emerson - keyboards, piano Greg Lake - guitar, bass guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
The show that ELP played at the Isle of Wight on August 29, 1970 was spectacular. Since their first
album had not yet been released, the audience was not familiar with their music, but responded with thunderous applause,
nonetheless. The Isle of Wight, with its all star lineup that included Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Free, Sly & the
Family Stone, was a very unnerving experience for the young band, who certainly rose to the occasion.
"I just remember that we went down like a storm," says Palmer. "The crowd went crazy when we finished." |

Then and Now is a live album, that brings together two separate periods of the band's career and places them
back to back. First is the legendary California Jam performance ("the Then"), which took place at the Ontario Motor
Speedway in Ontario, California on 6 April 1974. Second a collection of recordings from the 1997 to 1998 reunion tour
("the Now"). Most of the bands best known pieces are present with 'Karn Evil 9: First Impression', 'Take a Pebble' and
'Lucky Man' appearing twice as part of each period's set lists. |

Qango - Live in the Hood
Released 2000
Recorded February 3, 2000 at the Robin Hood John Wetton - vocals, bass John Young - keyboards, vocals David Kilminster - guitar, vocals Carl Palmer - drums |
Qango was a short-lived progressive rock band, a spin-off from Asia. In 1999, an attempt was made
at a partial reunion of the progressive rock supergroup Asia involving John Wetton (bass, vocals) and Carl Palmer (drums),
with David Kilminster to be on guitar. The band's live set was based on songs by Asia and Palmer's former band
Emerson Lake and Palmer. The band played five UK dates in February 2000 (including a London show on 4 February
when Keith Emerson jammed with the band) and six in April 2000. Subsequent touring plans and ideas to record a
studio album were abandoned, with Wetton and Palmer soon returning to their solo activities. This recording is
from their second show (3 February 2000) and is the band's only official release. |

success of this tour led to a full-blown world tour running throughout 2007 in celebration of their 25th anniversary.

Carl Palmer Band - Working Live, Volume 3
Released 19 October 2010 (US); 23 May 2011 (Europe/UK)
Paul Bielatowicz - guitar Stuart Clayton - bass guitar Carl Palmer - drums, percussion |
Working Live, Volume 3 is the third installment
in a series where Palmer, with his own band, reinvents his previous bands� work. "As with Working Live Volume 1 and 2,
the idea with this record was to capture my own band arrangements of these classic and rock anthems originally recorded
with ELP," says Palmer. "We never attempted to recreate those legendary recordings by ELP, but, rather, to reinvent
them into something completely different, with my own band, which is guitar-driven." Carl Palmer"s trio revisits some
well-known numbers, like "Peter Gunn," "Nutrocker," and "Pictures at an Exhibition." Palmer and his players infuse
these tunes with flowing musical diversity, ranging from jazzy improvisation, soaring stylized guitar leads, funk
bass lines, classical melodies, and hard rock shredding, completed with Palmer rounding out the final song with a
dynamic drum solo. Working Live, Volume 3 goes beyond the title of "live album"
- this is a listening experience.
This album cover reflects the background imagery of the artist,
William Neal, who was also the artist for the
Tarkus and Pictures at an Exhibition album covers.

Carl Palmer - Drum Solos (DVD)
Released 22 February 2011
by Music VIdeo Distributors (MVD) |
The DVD captures three classic Palmer solos from different time eras, and
presents them at three different speeds: 25%, 50% and 100%. By watching the solos in the slowest motion, drummers can
carefully see exactly what Palmer is doing and how he appears to be doing it. In addition, the DVD comes with
note-for-note sheet music transcriptions of each solo, which can be easily downloaded with Adobe Reader. MP3 audio
files of the solos are also included on the disc, complete with MIDI soundtracks, so drummers can play along at
the 25%, 50% and 100% speeds. Bonus footage includes a brilliant snare drum only solo, a
Palmer solo from his ELP-offshoot band "3" with Keith Emerson & Robert Berry; and an extensive Carl Palmer
photo gallery, featuring images from The Crazy World of Arthur Brown; ELP; 3; ASIA; and the Carl Palmer Band.
"This is not an instruction in the traditional sense of the word," says Palmer,
"I view it as more of an
examination of my work as a drummer and percussionist, that comes with an invitation for all drummers to join in.
I learned my craft studying the work of the great drummers such as Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich; hopefully, this
DVD will offer that same kind of inspiration." |
