Disco de Emerson, Lake & Palmer: “High Voltage”

As the other reviewer points out, this release has nothing to do with the High Voltage Festival performance itself.

The material included here is the same as the original releases.

In fact, nothing in the packaging (inside or out) alludes to the honesty that this 2-disc set contains previously released material.

Curiously, the entire booklet is, indeed, about the Festival performance - too bad the performances released with it were not.

Tacky...

I didn't hear about this release until I logged in. What a rip off! Let me tell you though, I ordered the real thing BEFORE they even performed. Ended up paying about 36 bucks for it. It's sad. With Emerson's bad hand, Lake's voice and Carl Palmer's incredibly bad meter it's an embarrassing performance. I am a huge (original) ELP fan and had high hopes for this. I honestly can't imagine why they let this go out the way it is. It appears to be right off the mixing board so the quality is very good which in this case is not a good thing !

There are a few good performances here and there but most times they sound like a mediocre tribute band.

I will go back to the original "Welcome Back My Friends" live album to remember them in their prime.

As everyone else has noted, this is NOT live, merely a compilation, they need to change the decription NOW!
