Emerson Lake & Palmer - Then And Now Dble CD : Release Information

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Then And Now. Dble CD. (Sanctuary Midline - SMDDD343) Two classic live concerts back to back on this 2-disc extravaganza from the ginats of progressive rock. Disc 1 captures ELP at the legendary California Jam concert on the 6th April 1974, and features 'Toccata' 'Take A Pebble' 'Still You Turn Me On' 'Lucky Man' and the entirety of 'Karn Evil 9'. Disc 2 was taken from their last tour to date, in 1997/8, and features the three of them with renewed vigour (not to mention enormous trucks) and is a greatest hits package ranging from 'Hoedown' and 'Bitches Crystal' through 'Tiger In A Spotlight' and 'Touch And Go' to a medley of material from the 'previous bands' that includes 'America' and '21st Century Schizoid Man'. Classic Giger artwork in place (has he been paid for the first one yet?) and sleevenotes by the indefatigable Jerry Ewing. The music is as always of high quality but talk about wringing the last drop of milk from the cash cow!!
