As you can see from the list of songs, one problem with this type of album is that you get a lot of duplications and you can get a song repeat itself too quickly. That’s one reason why I like the idea behind Emerson Lake & Palmer A Time And A Place.
The other problem is variable sound quality which is hard to avoid when the archives are emptied to the extent done by ELP and King Crimson.
I think it’s hard to look passed their epic Welcome Back My Friends live album and if you want more, there is a readers poll below that will help you to find the best of the rest.
