Let me know how it is! I am bankrupt and cannot afford new DVDs, but I always make exceptions for works of art... can you tell me the tracklist/date?

I could really go for that!

How much does it cost?

...I think that it not including Black Moon is a good reason for ANYONE to buy it.

I think a great reason to buy it is to see KC at Hyde Park performing Schizoid man!!

And Keiths spinning piano antics

Dude, I haven't heard of this DVD, but I'm very interested. Karn Evil 9, Tocatta and Tarkus by themselves on DVD, I'd pay good money for.

It's fantastic, The rehearsal footage is excellent too, seeing how they learnt a song, God If only the bands i've been in were a quarter as competant!

I'd seriously reccomend this for anyone. The layout is fantastic, The only major downfall that I am aware of (and everyone else too) Is that there are some songs from the first disc also on the second, but don't let that worry you.

The interview with the group is fascinating! Get it, you lot!

Don't you guys ever pay attention to anything going on around here... I've been touting this dvd for months now... in the news section...

It can be had on Amazon.uk in the PAL version now for 14.99... and it doesn't come out here in the States in NTSC version until Aug.

im only about half way throught the first disc and i must say im slightly disappointed.

ive never been a huge elp fan but i thought this dvd might convert me into one but it has failed.

a lot of the keyboards sound too 'messy' live for my likin. give me wakeman over emerson any day.
