Heard about it just before lunch but was unable to post earlier. Not a very advanced age and one I am approaching all too quickly. Very sad - not been a good year at all.

RIP Greg

RIP Greg very sad news indeed

Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known.
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

I was gutted when I heard the news earlier - Im not a great fan of ELP stuff but some of the other stuff is lovely. This is a collaboration with Geoff Downes

For those of you that know Asia's output heres the one concert that Greg fronted for them after John Wetton was fired in 1983. It wasnt a very successful joining, and Greg left again after this concert

I rather like Greg on lead vocal on the songs

^^ Dec 6th 1983^^
