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..
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!
Indeed, Carl Palmer is among the best drummers of all time.
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!
Magnificent drummer and hugely underrated.
2022: Carl has always been one of the very best. Great post thanks
ONE OF THE BEST FKNG DRUMMERS ( exactly)😉
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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 Palmer is definitely one of my favorite prog rock players.
One hell of a drummer.
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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
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.
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
Not crazy about Drum Solos but when I saw Carl Palmer do his solo in the 70's I was hooked. Awesome
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
STILL A BAD ASS....Top Notch Drummer & Percussionist!!
Carl Palmer is in his element! The master drummer of his generation. Thanks for this amazing show.
Love Carl's sense of humor and irony and everything else ^^
Alobytes Whitestone - Absolutely!!
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.
tjf4375
Three legends on the same stage.
Guy is a legend for a reason...just a powerhouse! His stainless steel Ludwig kit sounds fantastic too!!
One of the very best
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 👍
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
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^
This song is awesome as is Carl's playing. His style is fantastic.
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 ?
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.
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.
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.
Some of the most talented senior citizens you will ever see, and the classic rock community is FULL of them
Insanely talented man, you wore me out just watching Carl, magic stuff.
OMFG - just phenomenal - always was/is - certainly drove Keith to the max in ELP - long live Palmer!
Carl is simply incredible - one of the best drummers in rock. He makes it look so easy!
I was 4 when my brother brought ELP home. I had to be like Carl Palmer ever since.
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!
Always thought he was the best back in the day. After watching this, I see no reason to change my mind. The guys great.
Unlike every other drum solo I've seen He sure looks like he's having a good time.
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
Carl Palmer is the Greathest Drummer alive 😎.👍
RIP : BONZO / JOHN HENRY BONHAM 😔 ☝💛
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 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.
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 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.
I have seen a lot of life drummer doing drum solo but this guy is in a league by itself ....AMAZING !!!!!
Just be thankful that you heard him. Too many Great Drummers in that era!!
One of a triumvirate of three of the most talented musicians…EVER!
Palmer simply one of the best!!!
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.
Carl palmer is mix of drum marathon man and exquisite technique! what a drummer, one of the best!!!
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
I went to see him do a Clinic in Exeter, 2006 i think it was. Brilliant and unforgettable.
Carl is one of my all time drum heroes! Glad to see you are still working!
For some odd reason, I think Carl enjoys playing the drums!!!
Nice one!!
Yes he loves playing ! Doesnt retire like some drummers !
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.
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.
Carl Palmer never lost his touch in all these years.....
Wow all these years later and he's still amazing as ever I'm Blown Away
Brilliant, brilliant drummer, and another legend - Steve Howe to!
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.
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 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
Steve Howe, Geoffrey Wetton and Carl Palmer, my favorite drummer. Wow!
John Wetton.
Carl Palmer playing better than ever! Amazing hands to this day!
Carl, that sweet emotions, you are the Best!!!!
The original members of Asia belting out a classic from their origins!!! CLASSIC!!
Holy Moly! Carl plays as if he is still a teenager! Wheaties every morning!
E.L.P
We're always GODS!!!!!!
AMAZING....
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?,
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.
Loved him in Asia, great drummer, one of the Al time best.
i miss John Wetton
This is truly amazing! Anyone who has the sign of "Jupiter" on their gong (and btw, he has two gongs, which is two more than most what most drummers have) is a master drummer. One of the all time greats!
Ben S The gong with the glyph of "Jupiter"...is one of several gongs in the "Planetary Series" from Switzerland - based Paiste (Paiste Gongs are manufactured in Germany). Carl Palmer uses Paiste Cymbals & Gongs.
This is veering a little off-topic, but my drummer brother had Paiste cymbals, and when I was young and innocent and heard older boys talking about going to see a stripper and saying "She was wearing pasties," I was very confused. Being a guitarist myself, their comment that she was wearing a g-string baffled me also.
@@wearealloneexceptforthatgu7848 Yeah, a lot of drummers used to pronounce Paiste as "pays-tee" - but it's actually pronounced "pies-tee".
I always felt that Carl Palmer had the hardest part of the band. Having fast complex rythyms that usually don't repeat themselves is really difficult.
+superQuizzie You're right, although you have to keep inmind they all had parts that were fast, complex, and non- repetative
+superQuizzie according to his biography (somewhere online) Carl is a classically trained musician, not just a skin-beater who can play loud........so, it's no wonder he was able to do the complex rhythms that both Keith Emerson and Greg Lake devised in their songs.......
+Bobby Engel that's prog rock for u - in most cases if u haven't got the classical background u don't even think about it
+superQuizzie Agreed, Karl is an amazing drummer, but this solo is just too fast and wild to really appreciate fully
+superQuizzie Keys, playing on my knees. Bass right up in your face, slapping the elastic. Drums, listen here it comes, hammering the plastic. Chasing the fantastic.
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..
And Emmerson as the best Synthesizer artist ever!!
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?
Still one of the best drummers of all time
The INCREDIBLE Carl!!!!
This is not ELP... This is Asia. Note: Geoff Downes (keyboards), Steve Howe (guitar) and John Wetton (bass)
Well, Emerson and Lake are dead, so... X3
John Wetton has since passed away about 4 years ago.
@@paulcarpool2288 sadly yes... Asia was one awesome band.
@@YoungLeosword Carl Palmer, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson should start working together...
No better drummer in my lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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. 😂😂😂🤔
Wow. Carl Palmer is a great drummer and entertainer.
Man totally enjoying his work!!!
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
Carl Palmer, one of the best drummers around.
Hes the best ever
let's not bullshit ourselves.......this man is the greatest. Just because ELP did not get a lot of air play like Rush, Zeppelin, etc (who i like) doesn't mean he is less. Watch this guy, and others like Simon Phillips, then judge for yourselves based not on airplay but who does the best solo and non solo drumming. Carl Palmer, the best ever,
E. L. & P....they live forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw Carl and ELP twice in my life and it was magic. Their unique style and their individual big and great talent on their instruments gave to their music a very high technical level. And Carl showed this in those great solos but over all in his incredible work on each single title. When i saw him playing tarkus i was impressed by his incredible level and talent and creativity
