I know of ELO and ELP. Was there an ELM too?

Nassau Coliseum in NY 1978. I saw them in Boston about 3 nights later. Keith Emerson absolutely destroyed a Hammond B3 that night. By destroyed, I mean he lifted it up and slammed it on the stage several times until it was reduced to kindling. What a mad man.

BTW, I’ve always been on the correct side of the contro — Trilogy or Tarkus — and Trilogy is still preferred. I still enjoyed them when I saw them live, on the ill-starred “Works” tour after they’d had to dump the orchestra. We were on Keith’s end of the stage, what a show all on his own!

Good stuff. The live versions are much better than the track they used on the Manticore set.
