Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Live Classics King Biscuit Flower Hour (1974-77) (@256)
22 May 2009
(Review from progarchives.com)
ELP live releases are notorious for overlapping with each other, and this is no exception. Unlike most King Biscuit releases, the tracks included here are not always unique. The recordings are actually sourced from two concerts from 1974 and 1977. The 1974 recordings are from the Tulsa USA performance and the 1977 recordings are from the “Works” tour, were recorded at The Coliseum, Wheeling, West Virginia USA without an orchestra.
In terms of recording quality, the sound here is excellent, Greg Lake’s acoustic guitar passage sounding particularly clear. The bias of the song selection towards the “Works” (Volumes 1 and 2) albums means that many favourites are missing, while space is found for other more prosaic songs such as “Pirates”. The “Piano improvisations” are rather clumsily extracted from the “Take a Pebble” suite, and certainly do not benefit from being presented in isolation.
Better than the numerous bootlegs which the band have recently gathered together and given official releases, but one for dedicated fans of the band only.
