One of the greatest live albums ever released (in my opinion) came out 52 years ago today, on 19 August 1974. Recorded in February 1974 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, US, it captured the group at the height of their success. It even reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200! #ELP

A highlight of the album is a number that might be my favorite live track of all time (and one of my favorite songs ever, despite the length): "Tarkus", performed in full, with a rendition of "Aquatarkus" that will blow your socks off. (If you have ~27 minutes, give it all a listen!) #ELP #Prog
