[net.music] Comebacks

jwr@ccieng5.UUCP ( James Walter Reid) (05/15/84)

Does anyone out there in net-land know what has happened to
the great Keith Emerson? The last I heard he had gotten 
together with Percy Jones (The excellent bassist for Brand X)
and was auditioning vocalists for his their band. This was about 
a month ago. If anyone else knows more about this, please 
respond.

It would be great to see him back in action. I saw E.L.P.
twice (back in '77 and '78) and was thoroughly amazed.
There has never been a performer quite like Emerson. 
Hopefully there are a few other E.L.P. fans out there. 
What do you say?.

Jimmy Page is also supposably making a comeback (but he was 
never really down, only resting). He apparently enjoyed his
token appearances this past year (The Ronnie Lane benefit
concert, and an encore ("Stairway to Heaven") with Robert Plant) 
enough to assemble his own band also. 

This would also be terrific. Page, like Emerson, puts everything 
he's got into  a performance. They both recently turned 40,
but that should be no deterrent. Any Led Zep fans out there?

Any other info would be appreciated. 

Goodnight...
