Advantages: some great clips, well designed package Disadvantages: frustrating editing of some clips, repeated material, much padding, not enough music!
...be proud of their achievements. Emerson, on the other hand, clearly still has issues, particularly with Lake, that he finds it difficult to keep a lid on. Don't expect further re-unions.
So, what to make of ELP's legacy--that is the question. This DVD presents some of their best music, and they were impressive, very impressive, there's denying that. But often it's a case of technique winning out over content, and the showmanship is usually the most ... ...playing on this disc, but you'll also be confronted with exploding amps, spinning pianos and endless shots of Emerson riding his Hammond organ as if he's trying to be Lester Piggott winning the Derby yet again, and it does get a tad tedious. Even Emerson admits that he maybe got the balance wrong when he says "When people recognise me on the street, they don't want to talk about the music, they always say 'Hey, you're the guy with the spinning piano!'"

DVD Description
A name that is synonymous with 1970s rock, Emerson, Lake and Palmer have some of their career highlights gathered here. The band typified the prog-rock noodling of the early '70s, with keyboard player Keith Emerson frequently peppering their offerings with lengthy solos that demonstrated his seemingly limitless abilities. Their live shows were as loftily ambitious as their music, with each tour offering bigger stage sets, longer songs, and a blissful experience for ears that were finely-tuned to a popular trend that soon became wildly unfashionable with the dawning of punk rock. This eclectic collection brings together various oddities such as TV appearances, promotional videos, a documentary about the band, and a 44 minute jam from a 1974 California festival.
