Masters of the Stage is more like it
I was also saddened to find out this wasn't an official release, but I'm not sorry I bought it. The quality, sound and video is just wonderful and it's a picture of ELP from a time when they were "Masters of the Stage". The comedic beginning and the interviews are priceless, but the performance is just the ultimate. Keith's improvisations, Greg's vocals and acoustic work, Carl and Greg's camaraderie, their youth, their passion for the music... its all here in this video.The one tip I'll give you when watching this dvd... this was actually 2 shows that were spliced together to make one dvd.. so if you start from the beginning you can find many times when the boys seem to change shirts in a flash... There's also a spot during Knife Edge when you think Greg has repeated the same verse twice, till you notice he's wearing a different shirt on the second verse... its fun just spotting these little lapses in continuity...
