Emerson, Lake & Palmer Album: “Pictures at an Exhibition [35th Anniversary Special Edition DVD]”

The visual effects added (together with cartoons) are EXTREMELY annoying! Whenever there is an exciting passage, where I really want to see the pyrotechniques of Carl and Keith, the effects appear and make me unable to identify any details. I think these 'effects' last almost a half of entire production. The visuals are, at least in my opinion, third-class. I wonder whether these visuals were inherent to the original master or not, since I could not see the LD released sometime ago.

I was really excited to see a recording of ELP in their prime, but I was in for a disappointment. As soon as things started to heat up, annoying visual effects cover the entire screen. The majority of the footage is unrecognizable as a result. Only at the very end can you clearly see the band performing. Don't waste your time and money on this. Listen to the album instead!

I Owned this on Laserdisc a while back, then I got it on DVD and Half of the show was cut. Pictures is still there but the laserdisc had The Barbarian, Take A Pebble, Piano Improvisations (with Tarkus, Tank, and Hoedown),Knife Edge, and Blue Rondo A La Turk. So I'm Hoping the anniversary collection will have the whole show.
