Nice job ELP. You make a good show.

Pictures At An Exhibition was just a mere glimpse at what was to come... WB,MF,TTSTNE...LAG is crazy.

First off, this is easily the best version of Jerusalem. Tarkus is great here too, Karn Evil 9 is great, Take A Pebble is better, The Sheriff is better, but what makes the album crazy is the fact that they actually performed Karn Evil 9 and Tarkus IN FULL!!!

They played a 40 classical piece for Pictures At An Exhibition, and that was the whole concert. But with this, they played a 27 minute epic and a 35 minute epic.

Of course, the sound quality is really bad here though, even though this is the best version of most songs, i would never listen to these versions for quality reasons.

In general it's a great live album bogged down by the quality.

NEED TO HEAR RATING: DEFINITELY HEAR

Best song: Tarkus
Worst song: Hoedown
Underrated: Jeremy Bender / The Sheriff
