Emerson Lake & Palmer

Emerson, Lake & Palmer performed 'Trilogy' during a live recording on March 21, 1972, as part of the promotional tour for their third studio album, also titled *Trilogy*, released earlier that year. This period marked a significant moment in their career as they were gaining wide recognition for their ambitious blend of rock, classical, and jazz elements. The *Trilogy* album showcased the band's virtuosic musicianship and included notable tracks like "From the Beginning" and "The Endless Enigma." The Long Beach Arena concert represented one of the early performances of the title track, only played twice on the initial leg of their U.S. tour, highlighting its fresh status in their live repertoire. This era solidified Emerson, Lake & Palmer's reputation as pioneers of progressive rock and demonstrated their innovative stage presence, characterized by elaborate visuals and intricate musical arrangements.
