One has to remember the time period at which this was done.. Brings back fond memories indeed.

I think you had to be there ... :)

As far as prog rock goes, can't say this really does it for me. Sounds like a lot of random keyboard plonking.
Goes to show just how good Pink Floyd actually were/are :)

Like a lot of ELP works its "over the top and self indulgent!"

ELP did better than most!

I loved this band in its heyday for its classical interpretations and innovations.

This had its place in my life but I can't help feeling a bit embarrassed by it now...thankfully I lost my virginity and moved on.

Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, my parents were NOT prog. fans at all, but a friend of theirs must have left this album at their place on cassette, and I was fascinated with the cover art for much of my childhood. I credit exposure to that image as one of the reasons I'm so attracted to weird and unconventional things.

Wow. 1977. I'm back in H.S. Inhaling. A LOT.

It's a 3 minute section of a 20 minute suite of songs. I guess your feeling is understandable. Still a good little tune, but the Hammond Organ break in the live version from 74 kicks the studio version's butt.

during the organ/synth (whatever it was) solo, I got a profound sense of "This is Spinal Tap" deja vu. I know Tap and ELP aren't (supposed to be) the same thing, but something about the pretentiousness of this song had me thinking Stonehenge.
