The best Progressive Rock Music Group ever.

It’s been around 40 years since I’ve heard this. It’s a shame life keeps us so busy that an album we used to play so often every grace note was tattooed into our memory we don’t have time in that long of a period to even go out to the storage shed and find the LP. Great vinyl brings it all back without a single YT commercial to disrupt the return to my former life in a long forgotten galaxy. Now back to hell for me. Bless ya.

My dad was at this show aged 19, saw a lot of bands since then, and still says this was one of the best he went to. His fandom of ELP rubbed off on me, still listening 2021 during the covid pandemic!

I remember in1972 arguing with my music teacher at school about this album. He played the Hammond solo from great gates of Kiev and said it was just a load of nonsense rubbish! I told him that if he played the whole track and not just that part in isolation he might learn something. I explained to him that seeing this live at a show was an amazing experience. He played the track as a whole piece and the rest of the class agreed with me.

Masterpiece Live Album! Love from Romania ❤

I used to put this on our livingroom console when I was a teenager and my sisters and little brother would do the "monster walk" to that tune at the very beginning....I got this album one year for my sister in later years and she said it brought back so many memories.

Hello men, yes I heard this miracle for the first time in 1977, I hid my violin under the bed and only played the piano, I didn't have a Hammond organ. These three men taught me music, thank you very much ELP. I cry and write it, I hope you can understand me.

When I listen to them, I go back in time. This band is a unique device for time travel, thru their original music. It envokes memories in our minds, and I am not alone - thereby I we get to re-live the past of the 1970's.

Discovered this amazing rendition of my favorite Romantic era composition when I bought this LP from an older collector.

I'm back to my teens again. The band that widen my horizon of music. I grew up with hard rock such as DP, LZ and others but this ELP really shocking from the first time. Until now I'm still starting my day with Tarkus.

Great bass playing. Used to listen to this as a 11 year old... can u imagine that now...still stands the test of time...all 3 were brilliant. Tarkus is still my fave. The triple live is bloody good too.

I love the original piece of music. I also love this.

Voy a llegar a los 65 años y sí, es una obra inolvidable me inspiró desde que la escuché la primera vez hasta el dia de hoy. Me sige emocionando, sobre todo la interpretación de The Sage.

Thank you ELP for opening my mind to endless musical possibilities, thru your ageless music. After I heard it for the first time, I could not get enough, and I was forever altered.

Sono trascorsi 50 anni dalla pubblicazione di questo album ed è sempre una vera gioia ascoltarlo. Grandi, grandi, grandi. Unici.

Saw this played live in San Bernadino, CA back in the late 70's. Will never forget the piano rising into the air and then rotating while being played. Who needs lasers?

I have had a slightly musical gap in my life lately. A kind of emptiness within that I have tried to find new music to fill. ELP has been in my background since I scratched my dad's records in the mid 70 trying to play them. Always like them and loved a few of the recordings. But now almost 50 year's later ELP fills up the emptiness within. And I'm so happy to have them as a part of my life.
