ALBUM REVIEW
Style: Rock/Progressive || USED DVD || M-/EX || Made in the USA || Double sided DVD || Region1 || Works Orchestral Tour : Shot on August 26th, 1977 at Montreal's famed Olympic Stadium, this concert film documents ELP's legendary Works Tour, where, in 1977, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer, became the first rock band to assemble and tour with a full 65 piece symphony orchestra. Pulling this concert off was no small feat for the members of ELP, who were under enormous pressure when this performance occurred before a sold out audience of 70,000 enthusiastic fans. At show time, however, it all came together in a powerful combination of musicianship, sound and lights. The Manticore Special : Filmed while the band was writing, recording and touring the material that eventually became the Brain Salad Surgery album, this historic film captures the legendary British rock band during what was unquestionably one of the most artistically fertile phases of its entire career.
