I found this review in September '18's Record Collector, written by Ian Abrahams. I agree with most of it, particularly the comments about how awful the sound was when Palmer was speaking, I had to crank the volume up just to hear it, then lower it back down again for the music.

Review
A Fanfare For The Uncommon Man

In his notes to this set, comprising a DVD filmed in Florida in June 2016 - the year we lost a swathe of notable musicians including Keith Emerson and Greg Lake - and a CD from November 2014 that contains a very different set list, Carl Palmer describes how his legacy tribute to ELP uses current technology to "re-create the feel and familiar earmarkings of ELP's signature sound."

So the emphasis is on legacy rather than pushing the boundaries and fresh horizons, but Palmer wears that with a highly emotional sense of pride, evidenced on the film of his current trio, plus special guests including Steve Hackett, captured at the Olympia Theater, Miami, and billed as Pictures At An Exhibition - A Tribute To Keith Emerson.

Aside from the special guests - Mark Stein and David Frangioli also appear - there's a filmed background projection, dance, and the Ida Choir Ensemble, whose vocals on Jerusalem are a powerful adjunct to the band's robust take on Hubert Parry's seminal music.

However, RC (Record Collector) played the film on a couple of screens, and found the sound levels to Palmer's song introductions, rising from behind the kit each time, rather muted compared to the band's playing and we had to strain to hear his narrative.

Perhaps that's what made this feel unexpectedly flat and rather stop/start. It's an interesting watch rather than one as engrossing as the concept suggests. Still, the prog interpretations of classical standards live up to the promise of Palmer's comments on bottling the ELP sound.

I bought this on a whim as I'd loved some of ELPs music, especially in the 70s. Keith Emerson's keyboard sound was recognisable anywhere.

This seemed good value for money to me, CD and DVD with the DVD having many more tracks than the audio CD and as a tribute to the recently (when recorded) death of Emerson.

So, I sat down to watch and listen. Decent sound quality but as for the rest. No.

For some reason Carl Palmer has decided to change the lineup to a 3 piece centring on the guitar, not keyboards, well technically I guess it centres on the drums, which is no real surprise as that's Carl's role in the band.

So, to me, disappointing but it did encourage me to put on my copy of the original ELP album and have an evening of some classics.
