MUSIC NEWS- The classic ELP Pictures at an Exhibition film gets an update and makes it on dvd this July 27 (just days after their UK High Voltage Fest reunion) via Eagle Rock Entertainment with the release of Emerson, Lake & Palmer¹s Pictures At An Exhibition: Special Edition DVD (no word on a Blu ray version). The concert film, which had been out on VHS and DVD will get a special 40-year anniversary package for this version.
Originally released in theatres back in 1973, Pictures At An Exhibition captures the English prog rock power trio performing at the Lyceum in London in December of 1970. Filmed at the height of their popularity, this concert film is a snapshot in time, blending thepassion and integrity of the music along with seventies psychedelic special effects.
This special edition release, commemorating forty years since the concert, is the most complete version of the film, presented with the best possible sound and picture quality. As a bonus, the DVD release features a previously unreleased 1970 live performance from Belgian television program "Pop Shop" as well as the original theatrical trailer.
The concert showcases the incredible musical power of keyboardist Keith Emerson, vocalist/bassist Greg Lake, and drummer Carl Palmer and their infused jazzy improvisation with the reckless abandon of rock, birthing their brand of music as aural artwork. This revolutionary sound is just as intriguing and
mighty 40 years later.
