Well ! Here we have a great set by Emerson Lake & Palmer from 08/23/1996. This is the tour where they opened up for Jethro Tull. The source tape is a DAT master right from the soundboard! The quality is excellent indeed....

Looking forward to this; new stereo gets cranked tonight (not new, but new to me). Has it been 13 years since we lost Kevin Gilbert? Time flies..he was great. If anyone has not heard Toy Matinee CD, they are really missing something. And to hear it in lossless surround is unreal. The ballad of Jenny Ledge has some of the sweetest guitar ever.
Anyway, ELP doing Tarkus is something to look forward to for sure. Thanks Big D
I saw this tour at the Universal Amphitheater. I very much enjoyed it.
Thanks Dave, ELP is always fantastic...looking forward to this one!!!
Is the date correct ? According to this website http://www.brain-salad.com/History/concert-list.html they played at August 27 (instead of August 23, 1996) at the Merriweather Post Pavillion.
you may well be correct. I am not a good researcher and often all that I have to go on is what has been passed on to me.

Dave,
Big time THANKS! I was at this specific concert. It brings back great memories.
Another website says the date (August 23, 1996) is correct.

Can anyone confirm this ?
I've been listening to this and it really sounds great. Thanks, Dave.
A huge tip of the cap to you Dave. This is one of the finest boots I've ever heard. A thought came to my mind while enjoying this, whenever someone says that all bootlegs sound like garbage, please use this boot as a reference. Oh My!!
I have to retract my statement about being at this recorded concert. I don;t think it was the Merriweather concert. I was at that concert and remember them doing Paper Blood. I know this because Greg played the hamonica at the beginning of the song and then threw it into the audience. Maybe that trtack was left out of the recording.
It's still a great recording of ELP!
