Happy New Year!!  This post marks two years since Happy Hour has been on the air!!  However, I started this anniversary broadcast off with a show honoring two fallen great musicians:  Keith Emerson and Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer – 1977.11.20 – Memphis, TN [SBD]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer were an English progressive rock super group formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of keyboardist ELP '77 FRONT SBDKeith Emerson, singer, bassist, and producer Greg Lake, and drummer and percussionist Carl Palmer. They were one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock bands in the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson’s flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group).  After forming in early 1970, the band came to prominence following their performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970. In their first year, the band released Emerson, Lake & Palmer (1970) and Tarkus (1971), ELP '77 BACK SBDboth of which reached the UK top five. The band’s success continued with Pictures at an Exhibition (1971), Trilogy (1972), and Brain Salad Surgery (1973). After a three-year break, Emerson, Lake & Palmer released Works Volume 1 (1977) and Works Volume 2 (1977) which began their decline in popularity. After Love Beach (1978), the group disbanded in 1979.  They reunited a few times, and their final performance was in 2010 at the High Voltage Festival in London commemorating the band’s fortieth anniversary. Unfortunately Emerson and Lake both passed in 2016, leaving Palmer as the only surviving member.

 

 Axel Rudi Pell – 2016.08.05 – Wacken Open Air, Wacken, Germany [SBD]

Axel Rudi Pell got his start in Steeler.  Axel FrontalSteeler was a heavy metal band formed in 1981, from the German city of Bochum. The band was active between 1984–1988. The founding members consisted of Peter Burtz on vocals, Axel Rudi Pell on guitar, Tom Eder also on guitar, Volker Krawczak on bass and Jan Yildiral on drums. The band was named after “Steeler“, a song from a Judas Priest album British Steel.  The band released two albums with this lineup, one a self-titled album, Steeler, and the other titled Rulin’ the Earth. After the first two albums, ARPwackenBkKrawczak was replaced by Roland Hag, and this new lineup released two more albums. The first was named Strike Back and the other Undercover Animal.  After this the band split up, and Pell went on to start a successful solo career under his own name, with Krawczak on bass. His solo band is still performing and releasing songs to this day.  Besides the four Steeler albums, he has released 17 solo albums.  This concert is at Wacken Open Air in Wacken, Germany in August of 2016.
