Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Live In Tokyo (2lp)
Emerson, Lake & Palmer, live from Korakuen Stadium, Tokyo, Japan, July 22nd 1972. The double bill of Free and Emerson, Lake & Palmer had a two date mini-tour of Japan. It lasted for two days, July 22nd in Tokyo and July 24th in Osaka. Instead of playing the Budokan and Festival Hall respectively (where most touring groups played), they played in massive baseball stadiums in front of tens of thousands of fans. This momentous performance captures ELP in their element with a set that is brief on paper, but gigantic in its scope with extended versions of iconic classics. This pays dividends for listeners who can immerse themselves in bold and compelling versions that remain largely unique to these Japanese shows. London Calling very proudly presents ELP, performing live from Korakuen Stadium, Tokyo on July 22nd 1972 in support of the acclaimed 'Trilogy' album. Beautifully restored and professionally remastered original Nippon Broadcasting Corporation broadcast. Comes on white vinyl in hand-numbered gatefold sleeve with background notes and archival imagery. SIDE 1: 1. Hoedown 2. Tarkus SIDE 2: 1. Take A Pebble 2. Lucky Man 3. Piano Solo SIDE 3: 1.
