Notes


Belgium

audience recording (mono)

This is a typical set for the period (a mixture of original compositions, folk covers and classical/rock fusions), but shows the trio at their most energetic. There are obvious issues with the sound quality - the tape recorder used was way below modern standards and the sound is nowhere near "professional" quality. This reservation aside, however, this is simply an unbelievable document of a legendary festival.


Keith Emerson - organ & piano
Lee Jackson - bass & vocals
Brian Davison - drums
