Description:
Progressive rock's pioneering power trio still packed a musical wallop when Emerson Lake & Palmer recorded this 25th anniversary concert in London's Royal Albert Hall in October 1992. Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer had reunited to promote their studio album Black Moon, but the set list of this DVD, which differs from ELP's Albert Hall CD, is more of a "greatest hits" sampler, including such ELP standards as "Tarkus" and "Pictures at an Exhibition" (featuring an epic Palmer percussion solo), and Lake's still- beautiful ballads "From the Beginning" and "Lucky Man." Time had clearly taken its toll. Keyboard wizard Emerson rubs his wrists (which later required surgery) before forging ahead at full intensity (climaxing with his traditional "assault" on a Hammond organ), and Lake avoids high notes (most regrettably on "Pirates") to accommodate his mellowing voice. Still, the band's precision remains intact, and this DVD, despite a weak 5.1-channel sound mix, is a must-have for ELP's devoted fans. --Jeff Shannon
