California Jam was 50 years ago - 6 April 1974. It was one of the biggest crowds ELP ever played in the US with
approximately 200,000 people in attendance at the Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario, California.
Parts of the show were later broadcast on American TV as part of the "In Concert" series later in 1974.
(It's estimated that 600k-700k attended the 1970 Isle of Wight festival in the UK where ELP played their 2nd ever concert.)

We are excited and honored to announce some initial dates on the fourth leg of the Welcome Back - The Return of
Emerson, Lake & Palmer Tour!
Created by Carl Palmer and his management, the tour is presented with the full cooperation of the
Estates of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake. This is not a tribute act - This is the real thing.
Through modern technology, they will reunite the band: Carl with his two bandmates, playing together
along with Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, who both passed away in 2016. It combines Keith & Greg on giant
video walls performing live from a 1992 Royal Albert Hall show along with Carl Palmer and 2 side musicians
who are live on the stage. They all play together on stage.
Here are some links to videos that highlight various details about the show (click links to view videos):
"Emerson, Lake & Palmer have been reunited onstage for a video-powered live tour... the ultimate ELP experience.”
PROG MAGAZINE
"A groundbreaking multimedia tour/experience geared around the 50th anniversary of the legendary musical trio
Emerson, Lake & Palmer."
ROCK CELLAR MAGAZINE
"During the concerts, Palmer and his current band will perform live onstage, flanked by performance footage of
Emerson and Lake on massive video walls. As a comparison, a press release points to Paul McCartney's
recent 'duet' with John Lennon during the GOT BACK tour, done with video footage from the LET IT BE
Rooftop concert film."
