I’ve also been enjoying this surprising release as I’m a fan of ELP-proper and always raised my eyebrows about Powell trying to pull-off Palmer. Well, after listening to this recording, he didn’t, but what he did was fantastic nonetheless. The litmus test for me was “Tarkus”, a brutal workout by Palmer in the studio and on-stage. Powell performed this, in this recording, in a manner I did not expect. His drumming was powerful, confident, and fully in-line with Emerson and Lake’s chops. The remaining material on these discs has equally pleased me, and the pictures of the group on the inserts was very tasteful. This is truly a release worth having if you like this group and/or ELP’s music.
