Rating: Summary: good but could have been better Review: Don't misunderstand me, I am a long time ELP fan however my expectations go back all way to concerts in the 70's when they toured with a full orchestra. Certainly the last two tracks of the concert bring life to this dvd and finished strong. If you are a long time ELP fan you will not be dissapointed. Gregg Lake voice sounds good but stage presence was lacking but did he ever have stage presence. Keith Emerson was the highlight of the concert and truely shows what a great talent he brings to ELP. That in itself is worth getting this DVD and seeing his talent... Pirates is reproduced very well and was the highlight of this dvd. ...
Rating: Summary: elp a great concert Review: Emerson Lake &Plamer were one the best band of the 70s and 80s to bad there not working now but this is a very good dvd if you never got to see them play you should enjoy this I would have like to see more songs here put you can,t win them all great show anyway,
Rating: Summary: MAGNANIMO, INCREIBLE Y MONUMENTAL Review: Este es uno de mis DVD's favoritos el cual nunca me voy a aburrir de ver, siempre pensé que nunca iba a tener la oportunidad de ver a ELP, pero cuando salió este DVD y le vi, solo pude decir que hoy si me puedo morir en paz.No hay duda que ELP y Co. hicieron hasta lo imposible para lanzar este DVD al mercado,y el esfuerzo valio la pena, es un concierto con un sonido aceptable pero por algunas razones de repente la calidad del sonido se pierde y no es constante. ELP es el mejor trío en la historia del Rock, el concepto de música esta materializado en estos tres Dioses, si alguien solo ha tenido la oportunidad de escuchar a ELP y quedo impresionado; pues les digo que la palabra impresionado sobra al verlos en acción. Keith es el mejor tecladista de rock que he escuchado y me atrevo a ponerlo junto a Rick Wakeman, Greg es el mejor cantante de rock progresivo y no se diga nada mas de Carl Palmer, un baterista de bateristas. Es increíble ver y oír como solamente tres personas puedan crear una música tan compleja y alucinante. Indiscutiblemente un DVD altamente recomendable para cualquier fan de ELP.
Rating: Summary: Finally, ELP in concert! Review: Finally ELP in concert! Yeah! This is a good one folks. My personal favorites are Tarkus, Pictures, and Keith's assault on the Hammond (albiet brief, but with knife!) Good show all around. Finally learned the open A minor chord to "From the Beginning". If you like ELP you'll dig this. I'll leave the more detailed reviews to those folks that follow...
Rating: Summary: Sound is disappointing Review: Having been an ELP fan since around 1973, I enjoyed this DVD "for the show" but I must warn you that the sound quality was, in my opinion, very poor. Much like what was written in another review, I had a very hard time picking up Greg Lake's vocals - his voice was literally drowned out by the instruments. Granted, he's lost a bit of the luster in his range but I still would have liked to heard him better. They're still a blast to watch!!
Rating: Summary: Great Band - Poor Sound Quality Review: I am a big fan of ELP but must admit that this DVD is a big dissappointment. If I compare it to other DVD concerts I own, especially those recorded in the Royal Albert Hall, the sound quality is frankly just poor. Gregg Lake's vocals, a trademark of ELP's sound, are not strong and very difficult to discern. The performance is okay, but again, without superior sound, it makes it difficult to sit through.

Rating: Summary: A must own -peak of their form Review: I don't need to tell any ELP fan how great it was to finally get a top quality concert available to us,this is absolutly top notch performances of most of their classics and a terrific example of what DVD can be ,the picture is so sharp you'd think you were there.The sound as well has a nice balance to it as if you were in the hall hearing it,I would also mention to anyone who happen to have the Japanese Laserdisc version of this from a few years ago,dump it immediatly and run out and buy this,that L.D. was an extremly botched job ,as anyone who has seen both will attest to.
Rating: Summary: An amazing performance! Review: I miss Emerson, Lake & Palmer very much and was disappointed they did not produce one last concept CD before they went their different ways. I don't know what it was about them that excited my blood, and still does. Sure there was the music, the lyrics, the showmanship. I was lucky enough to see the BSS tour and have seen ELP live four different times since, sharing the last concert with my 11 y.o. son. This DVD captures the remarkable talent of the trio. Their incredible unique ELP sound! This DVD is the next best thing to being at the Royal Albert Hall, front row. Sadly enough Black Moon was cut from the show for this DVD. Why do they do that????? Thank you Keith, Greg, and Carl for all you have given over the years on stage and disc. I wanted MORE. But that's how it goes, C'est La Vie. Alas, the Show That Never Ends lives on on this DVD.
