evanna-i love all that stuff and more.i think you know my tastes are diverse.anyway,good luck with all that and i would love a signed copy of your cd when its done! even if its just a cdr.thanks!

Evanna says on 14/May/08
Thanks Glenn! I'm not so much into prog rock, but ELP are true legends.
As for me, actually I'm doing a PhD in musicology, that's what I've been busy with - my writing up time is running out... So I had to put my other projects on hold, including my CD. (But I hope to finish it over the summer.) I have a split personality you know, a part of me is a serious scholar, the other part a true rock chick!

evanna-what are you studying? and hows your music coming along?.i didnt realise that about gregs arm.im not sure what they were promoting,though that would make most sense.i dont know why i have a feeling they were guests at a event.i met them at a hotel,planned.i think i saw the pics not too long ago.hopefully ill post them one day.

Hiya Glenn, lately I've been incredibly busy, unable to frequent this site as I used to. Luckily the academic year finishes soon, then I'll have some spare time.
Anyway your estimation makes sense, that would put Emerson at 5'7, Palmer at 5'10 and Lake at 6'. So you met them in 1993, weren't they promoting their Black Moon album at the time? They had to cut short that tour because Emerson f*cked up his arm and had a surgery.
I've recently read Emerson's autobiography, it's hysterical. But one would think, after all those decades together, he'd have at least one decent word to say about Greg Lake. But instead he bashes Lake all the time.

martin barre is indeed 5-5.

glenn says on 13/May/08
evanna-how have you been? yes,i mentioned that i met elp in 1993,but i dont remember well.i do know that one was shorter than me.the other 2 were obviously taller. 5-7,5-10, 6ft.is that ridiculous?

Evanna says on 12/May/08
Glenn, have you ever met Emerson, Lake and/or Palmer? Sorry if you've mentioned that already, I must have missed that post. I was trying to determine their heights by looking at some old pics, but that's impossible, back in the 1970s they all wore high heels. Lake's obviously the tallest, judging by his pics with Ringo Starr, probably 6' or so, maybe a bit taller in his prime? Emerson 5'7 or 5'8 at best I'd say...

Ian Anderson was refused admission to police academy because he failed the height test. I would doubt that 5'9' would be shortrt than average in early 1960's Britain

Austrian says on 9/Nov/07
how tall is Barre?

im reading 5'5 here? LOL always thought he was taller than Anderson

D. Ray Morton says on 26/Jun/07
Doane is the tall one.

Reminidi says on 26/Jun/07
i thought the drummer, "doane perry", was the tall one in the band (not sure if he are still with them though...)

Styxfan says on 25/Jan/07
that guy they say is 6'3" is probably their pianist. He's the big guy in the band. Hey Glenn, which guy from Jethro Tull is 6'1" that a fan told me about?

Mike D. says on 23/Jan/07
Nobody mentions the possibility of Ian wearing high-heels or lifts! I think he is quite short. In the old "Too Old to Rock and Roll" video he is the shortest person in the band!

Glenn says on 13/Jul/06
Ian is no more than 5-9.

Bark says on 11/Jul/06
According to the picture, if Ian is "5-7" which you claim, that would make Martin Barre about 5-5 or 5-4 which he, judging from old Tull footage I have, is surely not. I would say Ian is 5-10ish.
