Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Live At Montreux 1997 DVD

 Pure ELP Energy
If you are a fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. This DVD is a must have to your music collection. It is an outstanding concert recording, both in sight and sound. There are few rock stars in the world today who possess the skills as these three did. Greg Lakes' rich vocals, Keith Emersons' oneness with the keyboards and Carl Palmers' precise drumming. This DVD just gets you going from the opening song to the last encore. Every song is a blast from the past and sure to please. If there one thing that I could say to them about this concert, it would be that it seemed to be stuck in the past. The concert could have been more of the evolution of the band throughout it's tenure. There was nothing from 'Love Beach' and only 'Touch and Go' as the most recent song played. But all in all, a great listening experience. Don't pass this one by.

 ELP Live at their Best Indeed
This DVD is the best ELP Live dvd yet. I own all the previous ones like Pictures at an exhibition, Works Live in Montreal and Live at Royal Albert Hall, but this one is close to perfection. It truly is a shame that such talent that shines from this power trio has been dormant for so long due to ego trips; it makes you wonder why don't Keith and Carl get together and give John Wetton a call? This DVD has excellent shots on a very stripped down production but it is the music that comes through, no material from their 90s albums but runs gracefully thru their great early stuff including Tarkus, Pictures, From the Beginning, Lucky man and Hoedown. There is more but you be the judge, ELP to the hilt!

 They Still Got It!
A very well done concert video!! These three put together a very good line-up of songs to play considering the venue of the setting. Very professional and skilled musicians with very good theatrics included!! Strongly recommend this video!!

 A must have for every ELP fan!
Although I prefer the 70's period this is by far the best ELP video release so far. It has great video and audio quality and shows the guys in very good form. It it possible that the context of a jazz festival was somewhat of a stimulation to them.
