Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP)
Feb 10, 1974
Convention Center, Anaheim CA

source: King Biscuit FLower Hour ?
quality: excellent
rec'd in trade

This is a mixed up CD. Has only 3 tracks, but the first track has
multiple songs. Deduction: This is almost certainly an LP or cassette
that has been recorded on to a CD, but they didn't make track marks
(AKA song splits). However, it doesn't detract from the music :-)

When I get energetic, I will do a song setlist.....

Here is some fluff I found on the Internet.....


>From Circus Raves August 1974:

At the cavernous Anaheim Convention Center in southern California, late in
February, the trio, their retinue of 40-odd roadies and techinicians, and a
recording team from the famous Wally Heider Recording Studios in Los Angeles
hooked up ELP's mammouth 36-ton quadrophonic P.A. system. But this time there
was also a 24-track mobile recording unit and a 40-input console (....). "It
was the finest recording experience I've ever had," declared Heider engineer,
Peter Granet, Emerson, Lake and Palmer Live (on Manticore Records) may be the
record of the year." (...) "We recorded the applause, too," declared Peter
Granet, "and they did 'Pictures at an Exhibition' as an encore. We would have
included it on the album too, but that would have made it a four record set,
instead of just a three recor one." Wally Heider Studios, the following couple
of days, was buzzing with excitement. "We all helped mix the tapes," recalled
Granet. "At some times there were as many as eight hands on the board at
once." (...)

>From Beat Instrumental May 1974:

Emerson, Lake and Palmer mixed their new live album at Air. Recorded at
Anaheim Convention Centre in California, the music was originally used for a
radio programme called King Biscuit Boy (!), which was broadcast coast to
coast in the States. The resulting tapes sounded so good that E.L.P. have
mixed them in quad for a May release to coincide with their British gigs.
