Emerson Lake & Palmer

In the summer of 1998, when Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) delivered a live set in San Diego, the iconic trio was in the midst of a significant resurgence. By this time, they had released the album “Black Moon” in 1992, their first studio effort in over a decade. The tour on which this live recording was captured, showcased their remarkable musicianship and the chemistry that had initially propelled them to fame in the '70s. Interestingly, their live performances during this era often blended classic tracks with newer material, creating a bridge between their storied past and present innovations. Just think about it—performing an epic piece like "Karn Evil 9" alongside contemporary gems like "C'est La Vie" speaks volumes about their enduring appeal. Fans were treated to classics and fresh sounds, demonstrating that even as seasoned veterans, Emerson, Lake & Palmer were still boldly carving their niche in a changing musical landscape.
