Emerson, Lake & Palmer in Concert is a live album by the British progressive rock band Emerson, Lake and Palmer , which was recorded on August 26, 1977 at the Montreal Olympic Stadium , Canada . It was released on Atlantic Records in November 1979 after the group broke up . The album cover shows a view of the stadium.
In 1993 the album was re-released as Works Live . Some of the titles are not from the Montreal concert, but from other concerts on the 1977–1978 tour, such as Peter Gunn and Tiger in a Spotlight .
content
Similar to most live albums, In Concert presents the tracks that were popular with fans at the time and were published earlier. A premiere was only Emerson, Lake and Palmer's interpretation of Peter Gunn , the title song of the television series of the same name . A slightly edited version of this live recording was released in 1980 on the compilation The Best of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and in some countries as a single. The band often opened their concerts with this piece during their Works Volume 2 tour.
For some concert appearances on this tour, the band hired a 70-member orchestra , but had to dismiss it for financial reasons, as the costs almost ruined the group. On the original version of the album, the tracks C'est la Vie , Knife-Edge , Keith Emerson's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Pictures at an Exhibition recorded with orchestra accompaniment. The Works Live album includes four other pieces performed with the orchestra: Fanfare for the Common Man , Abaddon's Bolero , Closer to Believing, and Tank .
Publications
The original edition of the album had no producer information. Production and mixing of the album were largely taken over by Keith Emerson. Emerson intended to release the album as a double LP, but in view of the band's imminent breakup, the record label Atlantic Records shortened the release to one LP. With the re-release of the album Works Live in 1993 as a double CD, the original plan came back a little.
Others
The orchestra conductor Godfrey Salmon played the violin on Jackson Heights ' final 1973 album , Bump 'n' Grind. Keith Emerson's former bandmate Lee Jackson formed this group after The Nice formed in 1970 as a result of the formation of Emerson, Lake and Palmer was disbanded.
