Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Works Orchestral Tour & The Manticore Special (1977 & 1973)

This DVD features two complete programs! "Works: Orchestral Tour" was shot on August 26, 1977 at Montreal's famed Olympic Stadium. The concert film documents the legendary Works Tour where, in 1977, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer became the first rock band to assemble and tour with a full 65 piece symphony orchestra. "The Manticore Special" was filmed while the band was writing, recording and touring the material that eventually became the Brain Salad Surgery album. This film captures the legendary band as they were in 1973, during what was unquestionably one of the most artistically fertile phases of their entire career.
The legendary seventies band release a two-part DVD, including: Works Orchestral Tour: Filmed on August 26th, 1977, this concert took place in Montreal's Olympic Stadium, as part of ELP's Works Tour. A 65 piece symphony orchestra backed the band - the first time a rock band had attempted such an extravagance - and 70,000 fans turned up to celebrate the occasion. The Manticore Special: Filmed in 1973 while the band was writing the "Brain Salad Surgery" album, this unique insight into ELP's creative process follows the creation of the album from its inception, through its recording, and onto its release.
