Are you talking about the actual concerts where it was first performed and recorded and the video shot... or just performed on tours afterwards.. as an encore? Cause I was a little too young in 72 to see the recorded performance, but I saw it performed quite a few times on the 74 BSS tour as an encore... ------------- THIS IS ELP

ELP Student: ...Also, do you mean "performed live" solely by ELP? Or live performances by solo pianists and orchestras performing the original version? Peace. |

I own it and it's by far the best alternative version I've ever heard of it. I suggest our student seeks it out, even though it's not entirely relavent to the question at hand. |

'Original' - you are joking, Mussorgski probably played it first in concert in Russia during the 19th century. For a different prog take on the piece, listen to Mekon Delta's version. |
