3 stars This is not a bad live album from ELP, especially if you like their lighter fare. Most of the tracks are from the Works albums, so don't expect much of the deep dark ELP of the earlier albums.

There are two "piano improvisations" on this recording. One is piano solo selections from Emerson's Piano Concerto No. 1, and the other is almost exactly the same as the improv from Welcome Back My Friends.... Is it still an improvisation if you play it exactly the same way in every concert? Just wondering.

Highlights here are the non-orchestral recordings of Pirates and the Enemy God.

Not the best ELP live release. But at least it's listenable.
