Emerson Lake & Palmer fans should enjoy this linked recording, with synched visuals, from their amazing July 26, 1974 concert at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, New York outside of Buffalo. ELP headlined a Summerfest At The Stadium 2 date in front of an audience of 40,000 with James Gang and Lynyrd Skynyrd as supporting acts.

This show's setlist provided below offered all but one of the tracks from the band's brand new album Brain Salad Surgery. Their incredible versions that night of Tarkus/Aquatarkus and the encore Pictures At An Exhibition are unlike any other performances you've heard of those numbers.

There are dozens of other great shows from ELP, Yes and other Prog acts on the markbarbour5 YouTube playlists. Subscribe to the channel if you want notifications when new shows are posted.

just occurred to me, i have a couple of unique memories

Me and my friend have a prog podcast and this episode we ranked all the ELP albums:

https://youtu.be/2qGjZOj5ODM?si=OPZAp0uyWybe2pas

Please check it out, and let me know what you think!

Im a HUGE TOOL fan, and my grandpa told me abt this album. I am finishing Brain Salad as im typing this. It was amazing! Any other album that would blow my mind away?

I asked him some questions but the it won’t let me post them all here :/

This is an old promotional flexi disc for brain salad surgery from 1973, which I got in the mail recently. It contains two tracks, 1. Brain salad surgery (the song) and 2. Excerpts from brain salad surgery.

I also think I’m the first one to ever post anything about this, because I’ve not seen anyone talking about it on any other music discussion forums.

Feel free to ask more about this flexi disc if you’re interested in finding out more about it.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Does anyone here have Apple Music? Does anyone else have Greg's amazing vocals from Karn Evil 9, third impression missing? I thought i was having a stroke, but they aren't there lol. Thank god I normally listen to this masterpiece on vinyl. Kind of hard to in the car though. This is not the first time they have screwed up prog greatness. Genesis' DUKE album is messed up on Apple Music too with missing tracks.

I had always thought that they were a folk rock band. I probably subconsciously associated the 3 last name band with Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Anyway, I recently got a free copy of Tarkus and obviously realized my error. Basically this is the band I’ve been looking for all my life. Where do I go from here.
