Called "Beyond the Beginning"...Coming out around June 13... you can already pre-order on Amazon UK..

Synopsis:

Between 1970 and 1978, Emerson, Lake and Palmer were one of the most
exciting rock bands on the planet. From their stunning start at the
Isle of Wight Festival, they were never afraid to tear up the rulebook
and take risks, both on stage and on record.

A year in the making, this stunning 2 disc set pulls together the
great moments from one of the 70`s most successful and exciting bands;
Emerson Lake and Palmer. For most of the decade, this dynamic trio
pushed back the boundaries of what was possible in rock. Ambitious
musical projects, massive, over the top stage shows and an insatiable
desire to try bigger and better things meant that it could not last,
but for several years, this was 70`s rock at its very best.

It includes performances from every stage of their career, including
44 minutes of ELP headlining the massive California Jam Festival in
1974 on Disc 2. This rare and spectacular footage has never been
released before and captures the band at the peak of their powers
with a production to match. Much sought after by fans, this film
includes the famous spinning piano sequence.

The DVD also contains the full-length version of Beyond The Beginning,
an hour-long documentary, which tells the story of this remarkable
band with a refreshing honesty and candour. Keith Emerson, Greg Lake
and Carl Palmer talk about the band`s formation, rise to glory and
decline in the late 70`s and the personal dynamics that drove the
band".

Just so you know...

This dvd in PAL, Region 0 is out now in the UK and can be bought from amazon uk for about 14.99.

Its not due to be released in NTSC version the States until Aug.

My copy sticks on a couple of tracks on my DVD player. I thought it just might be my DVD player but apparently I read about others having a similar problem. Could it be a production fault as I'm thinking about taking it back to exchange it?

Does anybody here have a similar problem?
