Emerson, Lake & Palmer – 1977 – Wheeling, West Virginia, USA – CD 1.

Recorded for live radio broadcast (King Biscuit Flower Hour) at Wheeling, West Virginia on November, 12th – 1977.

Much of the material was new to the audience and is taken from the band’s ambitious Works Vol 1 and Works Vol 2 albums, which merged band tracks and solo studio recordings over a span of three albums. “Tiger In The Spotlight,” the beautiful Lake acoustic lullaby, “Watching Over You,” and the ominous Emerson/Palmer opus “Medley: Tank / Enemy God,” are among the highlights here from the Works material. But the audience really comes to life when the band plays their best known hits, especially “Fanfare For The Common Man,” “Lucky Man” (the song that launched the band to a platinum debut), and “Karn Evil 9.”

This Works tour began with a 65-piece orchestra and choir that the group took on the road. Arguably one of the biggest undertakings in rock history, after three weeks of performing to great reviews the band had to drop the massive entourage; even with most of the shows selling out, the enterprise had already cost the band four million dollars. In the end, it was decided they would carry on with their usual three-piece format, and the remaining three weeks of the U.S./Canada tour featured this lineup.
