This album is woven into my life. I was in high school near Edmonton at the time that it was recorded. I really wanted to use the Grand Finale (last part of In held 'twas in I) for the procession in our high school graduation. Fat chance of that. Still, I played it often over the years. I love this piece of music. Thx for posting
Definitely a great piece of music! The only other band to achieve this sort of thing was The Doors, in Celebration of the Lizard and The Soft Parade . . .
If overwhelmed by this beauty, try harder. FIND WORDS! SPEAK!
Your country and mine, Europe is overwhelmed too by non-and anti-european non- christian values-on-conquistador . Find words and take political action.
to counter AND GAIN OUR CHRISTIANITY AND OUR VALUES BACK .
We will have to fight hard and stay tight.
Stand for european and national values IN A FIRM AND CLEAR WAY!
God may be on our side.
Commentors: think hard before you light-joke with values and future generations!
Another religious and racist nut. Really boy, my mongol ancestors are in your blood so what is truly European?
This is why even now people move to the USA because even though we have our nuts and fruits, they don't go around killing 5 dozen children. Our kids are armed.
this is shit ... makes me want to rape someone ..... dam you roisin

My brother turned me on to this at a very early age. So moving! I miss him often now that he is gone. Listening to it makes me think of him and cry.

There are more mics on the piano than on the drum kit. Shows how the focus of music has changed over the years.

One of the best albums ever. I have looked in vain for the video as this was a live broadcast but no luck. CBC is really a nutter about this i guess.

@MazterGuitarz Life is like a beanstalk, isn't it? Now that is some heavy philosophy
But I love the piece. A gem, I saw live at Santa Monica Civic in about '73. They were brilliant. .

Non esiste più musica di questa levatura, il vero rock è morto negli anni 80.
Da ragazzo avevo il vinile di questa "opera" che andò perso, dopo tanti anni in un mercatino a Cervia ho ritrovato il cd e di corsa l'ho preso.
Così ho ripreso un pezzo di storia.
