Just bought it. Had a quick flick through. Looks very good.
I shall be settling down with a stack of stella when the family have gone to bed so i can take it all in.
Hope it's as good as the "Pictures" video.

How did you get that ticket? I cant find them anywhere - even the Lake website is refusing to admit he is touring!!
Could you possibly ask Greg to send me one too please? 
As for looking like an angel, yes he looked great in the 1970s - but of the three, he was the one my girlfriend didn't recognise in the recent interviews. I thought he looked better than in previous interviews - has he quit smoking? Almost every shot on the DVD sees him taking a drag between bass runs. Keith even mentions it in recalling Lake's first impression of Tarkus (which caused me to laugh out loud....!)

Carl came to a few cities here in the states for some drum clinics a few years ago. I was lucky enough to go one and talked with him for a while. Real nice guy.

Well, perhaps its aimed more at part-time fans like myself, because I love it! I especially like the documentary, which I imagine shed no more light on what the real fans already knew, but some of the quotes are hilarious.
Keith on the break-up: "I think we were TOO good. Maybe we should've f**ked up a bit more..."
And the Tarkus debate was brilliant. My respect for Emerson just tripled! I thought Greg was a little conceited, and played to the camera a bit ("...but you know, I love those guys"). Keith was clearly uncomfortable with some of the talk, and had to try hard to maintain a cool head. I loved his shrug of the shoulders about the Lucky Man solo that wasn't so much written down, as a live experiment that they taped. Ultimately they all came across really well, even Greg despite the primadonna business head stuff...
Good insights from the people around them too. As for the ELP in Pictures bits, its everything I hoped for - most of the good bits with alot of the "fans-only" dross cut out. And my girlfriend loves the "I Believe In Father Christmas" video, which she'd never seen before. If I had one complaint, I would like to have seen some of the tracks from Trilogy (it being my favourite album). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont remember a single one, other than in the DVD menus. But all in, a superb buy, and I shall be raking through it for some time yet.
Emerson is a genius.
Palmer is a genie
Lake is a Guinness...

The Cal Jam footage is great especially KE9 3rd Impression.They've done a great job cleaning up the sound and picture quality of just about everything on it.
HOWEVER its worth stressing that this is NOT a concert DVD.There is no complete concert footage.Even the Cal Jam stuff is for the most part heavily edited.Its a collection of videos and live concert performances plus interviews.Apart from the KE9 track I can't see myself playing it that much to be honest.It also doesn't compare favourably with the Led Zep 2 DVD set as it doesn't flow as well.I think this is for die hard ELP fans only.

Well Amazon says mine has been shipped.. so I guess I'll be getting it any day now. Of course, Karney has already gotten it and has been feeding me pictures so I don't get too crazy about not having it yet...

Well, I guess us Yanks are going to have to wait 'til Aug. I don't have an all region DVD player, damn it!
Whoever get's it 1st. Put in a full review on it. Especailly on the sound quality. I understand Dick Carruthers who mastered the Zep DVD did this. Is that right?

Seriously, you act like you are 5 years old and just learned your first cuss words and I'm being serious. Your ignorance is worse than that of Black Metal elitists.
