Description
Just when you thought ELP couldn't get any bigger, they get a whole flippin' orchestra to back them. And the outcome is absolutely incredible. Recorded live in 1977, this record features some of the band's best music to date. Some highlights include the orchestral arrangement of "Pictures at an Exhibition," the Lake ballads, Emerson's "Piano Concerto No. 1, 3rd Movement," and the awe-inspiring Palmer-feature "Tank." Even though the Emerson-run-amok solo in "Fanfare for the Common Man" is . eh ., I think the rest of the album makes up for it many times over. Considering that I was -5 years old at the time of this recording, I'm grateful for anything that captures ELP in their prime. This CD, along with "Welcome Back.," does that very well, and I am very happy with this CD. I cannot rave enough about it. Also try to get the video that goes along with this concert. There are a few different songs and some wonderful 70's hair. Good stuff.
