EMERSON LAKE & PALMER IN CONCERT

The gig in Paris from the Works tour if I am not mistaken.

This forty three minutes long album takes us through some of their best music and it is a good live album. That is, until it dawns on me that these forty three minutes is actually half of the gig in Paris. The whole gig was released as the double album Works Live. And that with a far better sound than the pretty dismal sound on this album I am reviewing here. If in doubt, the Works Live double album is also cheaper than this single CD album. You get ninety minutes on Works Live too and a far superior booklet.

In short; Emerson, Lake and Palmer In Concert is a cheap rip off compared to the Works Live double album. There is one thing I don't like and that is being ripped off.

The music is great here and it is a three stars enjoyment. Forking out hard earned money for this rip off leaves a nasty taste in my mouth and vallet though. Go for the Works Live album instead and don't be as stupid as I was.

2 stars
