First Big Arena Concert Emerson Lake and Palmer
First Big Arena Concert Emerson Lake and Palmer
- Remembering my first big arena rock concert: Emerson, Lake & Palmer at the Portland Memorial Coliseum in 1977.
August 2, 1977
- Following Greg Lake's passing in December 2016, I was listening to "Karn Evil 9 Part 2" in tribute, which brought back a vivid memory.
- The very first big-arena concert I ever attended was Emerson, Lake & Palmer at the Portland Memorial Coliseum on August 2, 1977.
- Amazingly, the opening band for them was none other than Journey!
