WOW.. this is AWWESOME..!!

Where is the video of this and the other performers at this festival??

Mahavishnu, Dave Brubek, Allman Bros., BB King...!!!

@mrprogjazzgto The video is a concert of them in Japan 1972.

As far as I know there is no video footage of any of this. Just audio.

[xarddam]

Awesome sound !

Please, where did you get this amazing sounding Audio from ?

As far as I know, only 'Hoedown' was relaeased officially from this concert.

I have a fair few ELP Audio recordings, but not this.

Any chance to let me know, from where can I get this recording of this concert ?

Thanks

@xarddam It's on the "From the Begining" box set.

[Tzaousios]

Yes, very nice sound quality indeed! The quote from "Night on Bald Mountain" that Emerson threw in during Aquatarkus was cool too.

[paperpichu]

@Tzaousios He played night on bald mountain often in tarkus 1972 shows

Geez, I wish I had me a time machine. I'd figure which was their best performance for this tour, and then be in the audience for it.

[glaxko2]

I was the first dislike, for no other reason than to make the like/dislike bar look like a joint

@DrMerkwuerdichliebe

Oops, never mind.

[DrMerkwuerdichliebe]

Is the footage at the end, actually from Mar y Sol ?

[gerkins1]

You have to understand Vinyl Records to know what a feat this was.
