Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Works Live (12-Inch Double-LP)

Recorded during their famed Works Tour, this double album draws predominantly on Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s concert at the Olympic Stadium, in Montreal, on 26 August 1977.

Showcasing the progressive rock legends at their creative height, the show saw the band play to a sold-out crowd of 78,000, alongside a 64-piece orchestra.

Four cuts were recorded at the Civic Center, in Wheeling, West Virginia, on 12 November 1977.

Featured tracks from their storied catalogue include Peter Gunn, Tiger in a Spotlight, Fanfare for the Common Man, Knife-Edge, Abaddon’s Bolero and much more.

Presented in a gatefold sleeve, this release includes a four-page booklet containing credits and detailed new liner notes from Michael Heatley.
