CD Reviews

Prepare to be amazed
Geoff | Clarksville, TN United States | 02/01/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD crackles with energy and power. A huge full sound on this live recording captures the incredible musicianship of this trio. (The production work makes the same year "Then and Now" recordings seem somewhat thin by comparison.) Greg Lake's voice hasn't sounded this good since his work with Emerson, Lake & Powell in 1986. Acoustic piano abounds from Keith Emerson. And Carl Palmer's drumming continues to dazzle. The titles are familiar, but the takes are fresh and creative, with the band pouring its heart and soul into every track. They cook. (If you think you've heard these songs before, wait 'till you hear this CD.) Absolutely makes you wish you were there. Worth every bit of the extra Import price. If this is to be the trio's final recording, then they are going out at the top of their game. Get your copy today."
Last concert in Poland
Arye Mirovski | Haifa Israel | 08/01/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Being the last CD of the band (till now), that broke up about 2 years ago, that album is a classic live album (unlike "Then and Now", that brings us material from many shows). Comparing to the other live CD's of the band i rate it higher then the weak "Works live", the medium "Then and Now" and the good (but the too long sometimes) "Welcome back my friends" and equaly to the very good "Royal Albert Hall". True, Lake's voice is not what it used to be, but everything here sounds great, and the band does'nt give us any clue for its near end. "Tarkus" is done here fantasticly (Emerson used more piano and less Hammond in the part "Stones of years" and made it a real jewel) and the link to the "Great gates of Kiev" of "Pictures at an exhibition" is wonderfull. Yes, we have to listen again to "Rondo", "The knife edge", "Karn Evil 2" and "Fanfare", but this time i forgive them. Everything sounds here so good and happy! Buy it and enjoy an old and wise but also alive band."
A Good Live ELP Album
Progessive Rock Fan | Denver, CO | 11/09/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a good chance to hear some live ELP from the late 90's. There aren't many official releases of live ELP from this stage in the band's history. The sound quality is good, and the band plays some of the usual hits, along with the ever-changing 20 minute medley they seem to reinvent for each tour. Some live albums can sound over-produced, almost like a studio album, but this one doesn't. Listening to it, it feels like you're there in the concert hall. Carl Palmer has a cool drum solo too, and Keith Emerson is the usual Man-Of-A-Thousand-Sounds. They don't have quite the exuberance they did in the 70's, but they still have a lot of energy and they're fun to listen to."
