First vote for Lotus
I like Yessongs, Joe’s Garage and Trilogy, but I love the Santana live album. I feel that it bests all the studio cuts off of Caravanserai and hits ‘the hidden gear’ that often makes me appreciate live albums in a way that studio ones can never do.

ELP - WBMFTTSTNE
Santana - Lotus
Yes - Yessongs

Both ELP and Yes suffer from a level of poor production while the Santana is nicely produced but the recording lacks the power of the band. The shear power of ELP's live performance is hard to ignore.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

32? I didn't know he had that many albums. 
Beyond the 70s, there's little for me to enjoy.

Half of my Santana CD's are either Live or compilations, just like my polls. Smile

Difficult choice between ELP - Welcome Back My Friends... and Yes - Yessongs. But, ELP - Welcome Back My Friends...

I was just thinking about the thread title 'Classic Triple Monsters'...

When my Grandfather was fairly young, he had Mahler's Resurrection Symphony on 78's... I think he said it stretched to about 12 disks which were housed in this substantial faux-leather case... LOL
