Alright, let me explain something. In 1979, ELP released Emerson, Lake & Palmer In Concert as part of contractual obligations. The material was recorded during the Works Tour. Then, in 1993, when Rhino Records began to reissue all of ELP's albums onto CD, they changed In Concert to Works Live. I'm pretty sure that it's the same stuff, but I haven't found any info either way.
On this album, the band plays stuff from Works, Volume 1, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Works, Volume 1, Pictures at an Exhibition and Trilogy. The band also plays and cover of Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn," of which I have never found a studio recorded version. Nevertheless, just a great performance set and a great album.
