1 stars A live album is by definition fan material. It's got to be something really special to motivate me for more then 3 stars. But this affair from ELP is an insult, even to their most ardent fans.

For a band that filled such huge venues and disposed of such budgets, the recording quality is downright awful, cheap and careless. The performances are possible worse. The Peter Gunn theme is fun of course but you sure have that one already on one or other compilation. The two other pieces I can bear to listen to are C'est La Vie and The Enemy God.

Like most of the albums in my prog vaults, I bought this one as a second hand vinyl at the end of the 80's. Back then, you could buy tons of records because people started to replace their vinyl catalogue by the crappy first generation CD's that were being released back then. Anyone remembers the trashy 1988 CD releases of Pawn Hearts and In The Court?

Anyway, I am digressing, even second-hand it must have cost me around 3 beers (international currency) and even counting how cheap those are around here (you get about 3 Belgian beers for one USA beer), it wasn't even worth that little investment.
