Having just finished reinforcing my sagging old postal box in anticipation of the oncoming barrage of hate mail, I'd like to present a few points about this release which you might find usefull.
The Amazon Editorial review is pretty complete and accurate so refer to that for DVD specifics (sans ranting and raving.) There's one thing they didn't mention since the DVD cover (insert actually) gets it wrong. The jacket states that the sound is PCM Stereo. It is most certainly NOT stereo, in PCM or any other format. It is the same mono soundtrack that the previous DVD had, at least as far as the P@aE concert is concerned. I've never previously seen the Belgian TV footage that is included here, but it also is simple mono, issued from both L & R channels. I listened carefully to the entire disc (over 100 minutes longer than the previous one!) in Sony headphones and there is not a single sound from either side that is not precisely duplicated on the other. Credit Eagle Rock Entertainment for having the sense to NOT create a fake digital stereotrack, which would've been easy with today's mastering software, and keeping the film's original integrity. I don't pretend to know if the original audio recordings still exist somewhere, but I DO know that remixing and sync-ing them for this edition WOULD be a hellatiously time-consuming and expensive project, and the few die-hard ELP fans like you and me out there just plain don't rate it. Fact of life...
That said, I'm delighted to have this even though I bought the 2001 version not long ago, and it's the ONE to have if you don't own this piece of prog history. The extras are extensive and as good or better than the centerpiece suite. As ELP were known for, they almost never played songs "straight" like you'd hear them on a studio album.

I've said it before, in previous reviews: the ELP camp consistently &^@!!?!!'s on its fan base. After all these years...the constant complaint about this concert has been the superimposed psychodelic and cartoon crap. I read once that a "clean" videotape copy exists, sans the obnoxious effects. I've hoped against hope that someday "they'll" get it right...apparently not. After all, these are the same people who blew it with the "Beyond the Beginning" DVD ( California Jam footage out of sync with the audio, while stereo audio from the one-time FM simulcast exists; a disjointed montage of concert clips, etc ).

Fortunately for me, another reviewer posted that the "bonus" concert is nothing other than the Masters of the Vaults footage, already out for a few years. That footage, too, hasn't been changed...more superimposed images, albeit not as blatantly obnoxious as the Lyceum debacle. Tell me again just where the incentive for buying this latest rip-off is?

If anybody from ELP's management happens to be reading this...I won't buy this concert until you get it right. NOBODY WANTS MARVEL COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS ON TOP OF THIS PERFORMANCE. If you STILL don't understand, back up and read this again. That means actually going to the trouble of doing some research,and tracking down that pristine copy...we'll wait. We'd rather you take your time, and GET IT RIGHT.

Prog-rock, for sure, so if you don't like that; this isn't the thing for you. But if you like a creative combination of classical music, rock techniques and showmanship, and some great writing, this is the deal. Some of the music is very beautiful. And for those of us who're a bit older, it brings back the wonderful innocence and excitement people had at seeing this sort of thing live. Excellent.

long instrumentals like sitting in on a jam session/lots of psychedelic visuals/Yes Traffic Iron Butterfly/Genesis vintage King Crimson/Cream/a little bit of everything ... Emerson Lake and Palmer no doubt.
One you'll want to push the pause button if you leave the room.
beautiful boys in their 3 piece sweet/70s hair/heavy atmosphere/one small stage without any props and no pyrotechnics/but brilliant blazing fireworks/ drama corps set/intense hard work/musical sense/this tight 3 piece orchestra/here/hear it shows you how it's done/ /no theater/no glitter no puppet stage/just pure energy and artistry.
Love it.

Those cartoons. After all these years these marvel cartoons hasn't been removed from this ELP historical performance and now they are presented as psychedelic effects (laughs).

This is an authentic early performance with no gimmicks or overdubs. The band performance and image are very good and naive: K Emerson, in his brand new suit, fighting with the oscillators of his new MOOG synthesizer; G Lake is absolutely fantastic in the breathtaking acoustic solo; C Palmer was even then a solid drummer and it can be seen trying to get into the rhythm on a part of The Great Gates of Kiev.

The extra material was already available on previous DVD Master from the Vaults.

I recommend this DVD but I put one star just because the cartoons.

In addition to the December 9, 1970 London Lyceum footage, this "Special Edition" includes a bonus feature consisting of most of the February 6, 1971 concert shot at Theater 140 in Brussels, Belgium as shown on Belgian TV's "Pop Shop" program.

Unfortunately, it's missing "The Barbarian," which is available on the Masters from the Vaults - Emerson, Lake & Palmer DVD, which is the entire "Pop Shop" film, but not as good video quality.

Note that the "Pictures... (Special Edition)" DVD lists separate tracks for "Interview" and "Blues Jam / Nutrocker," but they are included on "Masters from the Vaults" as well: the interview clips are after "The Barbarian" and the "Blues Jam..." is the encore after "Knife Edge."

By the way, "Knife Edge" and "Rondo" from this film are also included on the Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Beyond the Beginning DVD.
