EL & P Emerson,Lake & Palmer/UK 1971

From the UK tour immediately after the release of “Tarkus” in 1971, the performance at the ABC Theatre in Plymouth on March 12th is almost completely recorded from the audience master, which was recently unearthed and was in good condition for the time. It was recorded two weeks before the Newcastle performance on March 26th, when “Pictures at an Exhibition” was recorded, and of course it was also shown in the middle of the show. After the tense and spirited performance of “The Barbarian”, “Tarkus” is played at the same speed as the studio version at that time, and it is full of ELP’s performance at their best and most aggressive period.
