On July 25, 2010, ELP took the stage with all three original members for the first time since 1998. The event was the High Voltage Festival in England.

ELP are the Godfather’s of Prog and the set list they gave to the fans that night was as legendary as the performers, themselves. From the opening note, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer were making history.

ELP are much more comfortable in exquisite theaters than they are in the great outdoors and the festival gig was subject to many of the bugaboos that haunt these massive festivals. Despite the conditions and the equipment issues, ELP soldiered on and gave a grand performance.

The concert begins with one of ELP’s most loved songs, the heady “Karn Evil #9 Part 2.” Welcome back indeed! ELP continues with such staples as “The Barbarian,” “Touch and Go,” “Lucky Man” “Pictures at an Exhibition” and the granddaddy of all prog epics, “Fanfare for the Common Man.”

The DVD brings the music, the crowd, the solos and the fireworks into your living room with blazing color and dynamite sound. This is truly a job well done by all involved.

Bonus features include in-depth interviews from rock journalists, ELP fans, the band’s management team and the three musicians. While the bonus materials are nearly as great as the show, the music still wins out and any ELP fan worth his salt will continue to play this concert over and over as they celebrate the band’s 40^th anniversary.
