'Original' - you are joking, Mussorgski probably played it first in concert in Russia during the 19th century.

For a different prog take on the piece, listen to Mekon Delta's version.

I own it and it's by far the best alternative version I've ever heard of it. I suggest our student seeks it out, even though it's not entirely relavent to the question at hand.

ELP Student:

...Also, do you mean "performed live" solely by ELP?  Or live performances by solo pianists and orchestras performing the original version?

Peace.

Are you talking about the actual concerts where it was first performed and recorded and the video shot... or just performed on tours afterwards.. as an encore?

Cause I was a little too young in 72 to see the recorded performance, but I saw it performed quite a few times on the 74 BSS tour as an encore...
THIS IS ELP

Hi all,

I'm a final year music student writing a dissertation on Pictures at an Exhibition. If anyone ever saw this played live or know someone who did PLEASE PLEASE e-mail me. I'd love to ask you a few questions!

Thanks a lot.

Matt
