The 2CD edition of the live recording by Emerson, Lake & Palmer revisits their 1971 performance of Modest Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. Disc One presents the original concert from Newcastle City Hall on 26 March 1971 newly remastered, including the complete suite movements such as 'Promenade', 'The Gnome', 'Blues Variation', 'The Great Gates of Kiev' and 'Nutrocker', plus a bonus Pictures medley from the Mar y Sol Festival, Puerto Rico. Disc Two collects an earlier live set from the Lyceum Theatre in London (9 December 1970), with almost the full performance of the suite alongside additional live numbers like 'The Barbarian', 'Knife Edge', 'Rondo' and 'Nut Rocker', giving broader historic context to the band's live interpretations around the same period.
