LIVE AT THE MAR Y SOL FESTIVAL '72

I don't put this on the same level as their Isle of Wight performance or Welcome Back My Friends - two live releases which between them touch all the bases this release does - but I do think this is a really solid live performance from ELP which further showcases how good they were in a festival environment. The lack of novelty goof-off tracks is certainly appreciated - I always found that those dragged down ELP's studio albums a tad, so having a setlist which is all killer, no filler is decidedly positive - and the performance of Tarkus here is grand.
