I'll also go with Hoedown, and agree that Abaddon's Bolero drags a little.

BTW the orchestral version of Bolero was perhaps better than the Trilogy one, or at least more varied for those who may find the studio version a bit dull, repetitive and dragging (it was a bit shorter and with more variation of instruments).

And this 1973 footage of Bolero is quite rare, Emerson with a cape on the Modular Moog and Minimoog and Lake with the Mellotron and another Minimoog (for what I have read they had also some pre-recorded backing tapes for this track which gave them many problems being the reason why they only played it in a couple of gigs in that tour).

That actually works pretty well and has always been a favourite the way it builds to such a thunderous climax. Stuff good taste, pompous bombast rocks! The Keith Emerson cape obviously died a rapid death - perhaps Rick Wakeman sued?
