What really makes this great is the sheer amount of fun that Carl is having here.
I just saw Carl and his "new" band ELP Legacy (Paul & Simon) play in March 2018 and OMGosh! He STILL drums with incredible energy & passion and he had just turned 68 the week before! He plays with the energy of a man half his age!!! And he smiles often while playing!! Totally phenomenal!! I was literally 5 feet away from him & have never enjoyed a concert as much as I did his!
Finally got the honour to see Carl Palmer live , 10/2017 show in New York ,hands down the GREATEST drummer of all time ,I swore by Peart,McBrain ,but I saw Palmer at the ripe age of 67 ! Ferocious is the word use to describe him !!!!!
gene picc Neil❤ is 65 and brilliant as well..
For those of you wondering why you are seeing Steve Howe (not to mention John Wetton and Geoff Downes) in this video, it's because this is ASIA. On their US tours in 2008 and 2009, they played one gem each from their old bands' catalogs. For this year's (2014) fall tour they have enough material from their original and recent albums that I expect an all ASIA playlist. Carl will still stun with his solo, of course!
Met him personally in 1988. He asked my about my recording project for Riley childrens hospital in Indy and then asked if he could sign my poster. Of course he did and it still hangs on my studio wall. I’m humbled. I was just looking into
Paiste pies at the time. At The Drum Center in Indy we met and He hand picked my Paiste 3000 ride and 14” Paiste color sound hats. Still my 3 fav pies ever- certainly best ride I’ve ever owned. He is kind and surgical precision in his drumming. TY carl. Drum on.
Magnificent drummer and hugely underrated.
Lucky you to watch this amazing musician!! Thanks to Carl for keeping memories of EL&P alive today. Love him for that and love listening to him play the song that will go on and on.
Indeed, Carl Palmer is among the best drummers of all time.
The whole track is much faster than the original and that drum solo is the fastest drumming ive ever seen .. only surviving member of ELP .. live long and prosper Carl xx
Check out Buddy Rich if u wanna see some fast drumming
David Surran That’s your opinion
Check out Marco Minneman about faster drumming
You should check out Dillinger Escape Plan calculatin infinity
@@devinw5150 Carl sat in for Buddy Rich one time that I can remember .
Carl is never in the conversation as one of the greats...He needs his due respect. Skill and showmanship were always there. I love watching this guy!
Travis Woodall he deserves no respect read on dsharpie.simplesite.com
Carl has always been at the top of my list of favorite drummers for several decades.
"never in the conversation" WTF! Do you live under a rock?😖 Have you heard of Buddy Rich? HE called Carl Palmer the best drummer he had ever seen...
@@luvwings Fuckyouasshole!
If he sat in front of more drums than the 6 he had ( ie the kit next to him is a full kit ).I judge some one on a full kit not a few drums.
everything has to be a competition. Carl Palmer, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Ginger Baker, Gene Krupa, definitely Buddy Rich. They each have their fans who think no one could possibly be as good as their personal favorite. Personally, I don't care about that. They are ALL INCREDIBLE, I just enjoy watching and listening to all of them. In this solo, Carl Palmer is incredible!!
As has been said, he is not a young man here, but he still amazes!!
Just enjoy the brilliance of ALL of them!!
flyboy10102 there are drummers from another era, long past, that young fans have never heard of, that are amazing, and i have seen videos of kids as young as 5 that boggle the mind. In some ways, who cares who is better, Ed Shaunnessy or Ian Paice. Just enjoy the brilliance of all of them....
flyboy10102 I wish to God I had CZcams when I was a kid in the 1970s....my life may have been very different. And BTW, in my neighborhood there used to be fistfights over what drummer was better--and these were fights between non-drummers.
+flyboy10102 Me ?
Bonzo all the way ..... He "moves me" .....
But so many other drummers have far better skills ......
And I appreciate each one on their own ......
Just enjoy folks .....
By comparison ... We are mere mortals ....
And no .... I'm NOT a muso ....
But I would be down at the Crossroads at midnight ......
In a flash .....
If I only could!
ROFL!
that's cool.... what matters is, who you enjoy....
flyboy10102 checkout Kenwood Dennard playing the Chicken with Jaco pastorious and John Scoffield
I've seen Carl's incredible solo four times since 2010 still takes my breath away.
Only saw him/them in Denver twice (1974/77) & Fort Collins once (1978).
... ELP will always be "who begat me"
❤️
Carl Palmer,Steve Howe,John Wetton,Geoff Downes = ASIA!
Yep!
Carl doesn't age, and his accuracy and speed are incredibly articulate.
Based on that performance I would say Carl is no more than a shadow of the drummer he was back in 1970. Say what you want but what I just stated is FACT ! Perhaps he plays better when he plays with real musicians instead of a pack of WANNABE's. Those cat's SUCK !
Wish I could say the same for Charlie Watts
@@magikoflove i'm sorry i dont think i've heard of you before
I know he is really underrated. The fact that he can play that fast in his 70’s just shows that he is still a force to be reckoned with and that age doesn’t always matter.
@@magikoflove
Wow !
Maybe you should slow your roll and acknowledge Sir Steve Howe on guitar, and the percussive genius of Sir Carl Palmer, and then bestow your judgement. Maybe than you may fully absorb this live masterpiece that we have been bestowed
Carl Palmer is definitely one of my favorite prog rock players.
One hell of a drummer.
2022: Carl has always been one of the very best. Great post thanks
ONE OF THE BEST FKNG DRUMMERS ( exactly)😉
As an "old guy" who remembers when ELP was the current and popular music, and I can tell you that Carl has only gotten better with age. He plays cleaner and more precisely than he ever has. He's the exemplar of "keep learning." Back then, no one did stick-tricks like that: They came via marching snare drum. And a lot of guys CP's age would say, "I don't do that" - but Carl learned to! Fantastic!
You're right. I noticed that too.
I remember 👍😎
Exactly! I’ve been playing 54 years and never wasted a second on stick tricks, preferring to remind people I’m a serious musician and use my time to focus on my rudiments. I saw Asia in the early 80s and don’t recall him doing that with his sticks. A drum solo is supposed to impress and entertain, and he certainly accomplished that. Great drummer.
Carl was at his best in ELP.
AS ALWAYS CARL AT HIS BEST, TRULY ONE OF THE TOP PLAYERS OF OUR TIME. WHAT JOY TO SEE THIS REC ORDERING OF THE MASTER IN HIS ARENA HAVING FUN . PEACE ALWAYS TO ALL DRUMMERS.
One of the greatest prog rock drummers of all time! & also a really nice guy too! I met him once at one of his early 2000's solo shows, top bloke! so sad to see the wonderful late John Wetton here also. The guys on this stage are responsible for the soundtrack of my youth ( & present day too! ) R.I.P. John.
Had a chance to see ELP back in 77 and to date, Carl is one of the best drummers I ever saw. Seeing him in a vid is one thing but seeing him live is a different creature altogether. Watching him play is pure perfection.
Carl Palmer is in his element! The master drummer of his generation. Thanks for this amazing show.
It’s like when people say the stones should hang it up, their too old! Show me any 30 something who can move like jagger! The same with Palmer, simply amazing, age is a number, nothing more! Fabulous
Not crazy about Drum Solos but when I saw Carl Palmer do his solo in the 70's I was hooked. Awesome
Carl is the essence of a supreme drummer: skill, finesse, speed and innovation. Phenomenal performance!
Right
A percussionist, not a drummer.
@@xfire301 Anyone who plays the kit with that level of skill is a drummer; a percussionist in an overall sense, yes, but a drummer first, in my view.
I got to see ELP live in their heyday at the Forum in LA. During the drum solo, the whole kit was lifted into the air and actually rotated upside down then back up and set back down on stage. This guy was blazing away upside down in mid air. Guess Ill never forget.
Carl is one of the greatest drummers I ever saw live. Rock on brother !!
Hi is one ot the greatest drummers ever, to me, Carl is the best one
STILL A BAD ASS....Top Notch Drummer & Percussionist!!
Palmer is a treasure. No question.
Definitely - for some reason always overlooked
Better than Bonham
@@philmontejano5971 Bonham is still better by a good margin. That Moby Dick solo was just insane.
@@jacocharzukanamericanautho2422 Bonham wasn't around long enough.
Like the Stones are always better than Beatles
@@philmontejano5971 Just no man Bonham will always be the better drummer. Palmer is top 20 but not the best.
Insanely talented man, you wore me out just watching Carl, magic stuff.
Three legends on the same stage.
I saw this guy live for the first time a few years back, and honestly I've never felt so alive, it was like the drumming equivalent of watching an epic firework display - his talents are beyond belief.

This song is awesome as is Carl's playing. His style is fantastic.
Love Carl's sense of humor and irony and everything else ^^
Alobytes Whitestone - Absolutely!!
Guy is a legend for a reason...just a powerhouse! His stainless steel Ludwig kit sounds fantastic too!!
Considering how he still seems in tip-top form compared to some of his contemporaries, Carl must have taken good care of himself in didn't give in to the excess of the '70's. All of the musicians on that stage are truly masters of their craft as they seem to actually get more precise as they age. I don't think we'll ever see the awesomeness and caliber of British progressive bands from the '70's ever matched.
I agree 100% with you. Great comment.
James Robert excellent comment
James Robert
James Robert i believe he has a black belt in martial arts & has never been a boozer or substance abuser, hence his peak fitness
The days of great bands are slowly ending. The golden days of rock. Get it while you can.
+Mike Scally There's still all this other shit.
@Mike Scallly "The days of great bands are slowly ending"
BS - the music lives on and inspires new bands all the time - Foo Fighters - Tedeschi Trucks Band - and check out a new band called Greta Van Fleet - Young kids in there young 20's - sound just like Lez Zepellin but its in there blood, there not a cover band. - Rock On
Foo Fighters - A great band? Wow - that is some great weed you're smokin man. I wudn't be paid $100 to endure a Foo Fighters show -- such commercial trash. Why not include Coldplay and Nickelback in your commentary of great modern bands _ they made a ton of money (just not any memorable music!) Trucks can play guitar, but the vocals - come on!! Old school here and seen All the great bands of the 70's. Very few modern bands could follow any of the 60-'s - - 70's big time bands. Hell, who stacks up against The Beatles Stones, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Who, Hendrix, Deep Purple, Queen, Allman Bros, Skynyrd, etc etc etc. The list is so long. Good luck with any modern band being the equal of ANY of them (Foo Fighters hahaha - funny)
@@4GotSumthing Spot on my friend. All the "wannabes" are exactly that!
(And so right with Coldplay....Jeeze.... pass me the noose!)
Palmer will likely live to be 110 and still be performing. ^w^
Carl is simply incredible - one of the best drummers in rock. He makes it look so easy!
OMFG - just phenomenal - always was/is - certainly drove Keith to the max in ELP - long live Palmer!
One of the very best
Some of the most talented senior citizens you will ever see, and the classic rock community is FULL of them
as a drummer its impossible to rate the top drummers....they r all good.many determining factors.....carl palmer ...yes one of the best indeed......
no the best
I know what you mean. In a 3 piece band the drummer has to "work" harder. Carl Palmer did an incredible job, and for 59 his drumming is still really good.
Blablabla.
also, pro-mark sticks do a wonderful job of branding their product
Ginger Baker
Having gravitated toward Jazz music in the late 1970's, and becoming particularly enamoured with the drumming of Elvin Jones and Tony Williams, I had long since forgotten why Carl Palmer was my favorite Rock drummer. Thanks for the refresher course!Wonderful,marvelous, and magnificent work by a ceiling level talent!!! JIM MICHAUD.
I was 4 when my brother brought ELP home. I had to be like Carl Palmer ever since.
Just be thankful that you heard him. Too many Great Drummers in that era!!
Wow all these years later and he's still amazing as ever I'm Blown Away
Carl is one of my all time drum heroes! Glad to see you are still working!
Always thought he was the best back in the day. After watching this, I see no reason to change my mind. The guys great.
This is Asia paying Fanfare.
Carl has been my hero since the 70s. I spoke with him on the phone years ago and gave him tips on where to dine in NYC. Used to send him birthday cards every year in the Canary Islands. Then my computer crashed and I lost his address--oh well.
It's great to see a hero age so well, stay healthy, stay current, keep a good attitude and be so productive.
Thank you Carl for all the great memories!
Carl palmer is mix of drum marathon man and exquisite technique! what a drummer, one of the best!!!
I saw Asia back in 1983 on the Alpha tour. This was when he was playing the Premier steel drum kit with the tympani and Huge gongs behind him. A MINDBLOWING performance by him that night. And I have been a fan ever since. A truly masterful tasteful graceful player. His snare drum work defies belief!
Unlike every other drum solo I've seen He sure looks like he's having a good time.
Palmer simply one of the best!!!
I have seen a lot of life drummer doing drum solo but this guy is in a league by itself ....AMAZING !!!!!
Carl, that sweet emotions, you are the Best!!!!
I remember seeing ELP back in '92. In the concert program there was a lineage of all the British Prog bands from Yes, to Asia, to Atomic Rooster, to King Crimson, to ELP and how they were all interwoven with band members and styles. It was really cool!
I've seen those band except for Asia more than once. Prof rock never got it's due on mainstream radio - probably due to the length of songs. Most won't release radio edits so they get ignored by mainstream music listeners. Too bad so many great bands didn't get to show more of the public their style and talents.
Brilliant, brilliant drummer, and another legend - Steve Howe to!
One of a triumvirate of three of the most talented musicians…EVER!
Man this guy is a great drummer. the drum and the music industries should have more ''reconnaissance'' because he do deserve
Yugo Lago nice troll my man
Definitely Carl Palmer has to considered as one of the best drummers. He has so much energy and it shows in his playing.
@MorbidManMusic find your walnut brain yet ?
Booth Carl Palmer and Ian Paice of Deep Purple, inspired many drummers how to play rock and rolls...and lots of them...thanks you guys are natural drum players of the highest level.
Man I saw him do an extended 10 minute version of this in Brampton, Ontario in Canada of all places - just too mind-blowing!
Me too ! Got Carls sticks and he autographed them 👍
Rose Theatre 👍
I don't know whether Carl Palmer is the best rock drummer or not (nor do I care). All I know is that there is a pure joy in his playing that one rarely sees. To be pushing 60 and still have such unbridled joy in playing is a real gift. BTW, this is Asia, not ELP.
I went to see him do a Clinic in Exeter, 2006 i think it was. Brilliant and unforgettable.
Carl Palmer never lost his touch in all these years.....
carl palmer has always been one of the greatest.....underappreciated by the theatrics but, without question, you can see his influences in others like Peart.
While Peart is a great Drummer I always thought he was overrated. Palmer is far better IMHO.
Carl Palmer is the best drummer that ever I've ever seen live.
You need to get out more.Lol
Carl is pretty awesome at that. But did you ever get to see Neil Peart live? Unbelievable.
Carl is very good ......
Neil Peart is simply epic.
I'm thinking Carl would even agree to that.
Carl is great, but you might want to get out more.
Carl Palmer playing better than ever! Amazing hands to this day!
Ah yes the master at work! He really is second to none, a treat to watch him and wonder just how can anyone be that good?,
Loved him in Asia, great drummer, one of the Al time best.
The grandiosity of this drum solo somewhat distracts from the notable detail that the humble gentleman with the guitar is no-one less than Mr Steve Howe himself.
Everything is better with Steve Howe in it!
Alex Licht
YES...lol
At first I almost thought it was Billy Bob Thornton on guitar... JUSTKIDDING!
Saw ELP and Yes in their prime - Steve Howe certainly showed his musical talent. But each member of each band was in themselves a rare talent - and possibly virtuosos in their own right. I know that I pity ANY band that had to follow either of those rare monsters. I was a "Lucky Man" to have witnessed both bands in their creative prime.
AMAZING....
The original members of Asia belting out a classic from their origins!!! CLASSIC!!
Carl is one of the best un-mentioned drummers....very much like Mike Shrieve of Santana early years.....both were incredible percussionists and set the table for the Stuart Copeland's, Omar Hakeem's and such like that followed.
Good thing CP has taken good care of himself. He is still in great shape and his drumming skills have not diminished. ELP is one of my favorite groups and I have a lot of their music on vinyl. It is good to see the musical greats still performing.
The INCREDIBLE Carl!!!!
Incredible drummer and such great musicians.. Everyone was a master in his art..Thank you for posting
E. L. & P....they live forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved carls playin in the early days of ELP ,a lot more jazz such an inspirational drummer to many another legend
This was 13 years ago, and he's still at it. And still just as awesome. His next chapter is coming up. Just wait and see, it he will be amazing.
one of the best drummers in the world, it's sad he's not mentioned as much
For some odd reason, I think Carl enjoys playing the drums!!!
Nice one!!
Yes he loves playing ! Doesnt retire like some drummers !
Man totally enjoying his work!!!
Saw ELP every time the played in Vancouver and was always stunned at the speed and power of Carl.. Then I read (back in the mid 70's) he was a Second Dan black belt karate.. a possible good reason of his phenomenal speed and power.. Never seems to amaze me along with Bill Bruford,, Alan White and the late great Cozy Powell .. In 1977, Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver.. His hand speed was s fast, the white buckskin leather was a blur he was that fast..
the most amazing percussionist i have ever seen, in my mind the best ever
@@gsxrkz
Of course he isn't, you can read minds and you know he's seen someone better. Blaah blaah.
You must have never seen Neil Peart play.
No disrespect to Carl.
Holy Moly! Carl plays as if he is still a teenager! Wheaties every morning!
Steve Howe, Geoffrey Wetton and Carl Palmer, my favorite drummer. Wow!
John Wetton.
Wow. Carl Palmer is a great drummer and entertainer.
E.L.P
We're always GODS!!!!!!
I saw ELP in 1977 and Palmer's solo was the hi lite of the show. Not to diminish the rest of the show. Palmer is just awesome!
Absolutely blown away with this live version
Steve Howe, sensacional guitarrista. Pra mim um dos melhores de todos os tempos.
Steve looked like he was half dead the whole time. He looked like a walking skull. GET REAl!!!!!
@@richbaker9963 , o q tem a ver a aparência do cara com seu estilo de tocar guitarra? Eu analiso a virtuose dele na guitarra, sua habilidade, não sua aparência física. Ou vc é gay e gosta de homens. Eu hein. É cada uma q me aparece. 😂😂😂🤔
i miss John Wetton
SUPERB! What a great bunch of musicians. Thank you for uploading this! 👍😀
My favorite progressive rock band. All their work is a masterpiece in and of itself. From their first album, Emerson, Lake and Palmer to Tarkus to Trilogy to Brain Salad Surgery to Welcome Back my Friends.. and on and on. Between them, Yes and Pink Floyd the late '60s & early '70s were magical times. :)
This is "Asia", not ELP.
This legend still kick ass!
Carl Palmer is the Greathest Drummer alive 😎.👍
RIP : BONZO / JOHN HENRY BONHAM 😔 ☝💛
Incredible! Some of the best playing ever
I first saw Carl when he played with Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds. It was Carl's 17th birthday and Chris let him have a solo for his birthday...he was brilliant, finishing the solo with his bare hands. We knew greatness
What a musician!!!EPIC!!!!
Still one of the best drummers of all time
Timeless good taste in drumming. Thank you for all these years of some of the best kit drumming Humanity has ever produced, Carl. ;)

Carl Palmer ROCKS! I made the mistake of following the wrong band in the 70s now I wish I would have given the effort to go see ELP live and missed out all because I thought the band I followed was the cat's meow now realize in comparison there is a great divide between musicians and MAJESTIC musicians to which ELP are.
Who did you follow? KISS?
