I seem to remember reading somwhere that something happened to the mastertape of the first recording of Trilogy and they had to redo it. Apparently the first version was even better.

I'm pleased someone picked Fanfare.

Apparently they tried hard to improve on the first studio take but in the end settled on their initial performance with a few overdubs.It was a little bit of magic that was never to be repeated. |
If I'm playing music while I've got non prog fans over for drinks or dinner, Fanfare is always on my 'prog lite' play list. It's always fairly well recieved too.
When I want folks to go home, I'll slip on some Gentle Giant..

Yes I like Benny, sort of sounds like a punky Chas and Dave. And nearly as funny as the lyrics is that even on a throwaway track like this Emerson still has to show off how fast he can play!
