A year in the making, this stunning 2 disc set pulls together the great moments from one of the 70s most successful and exciting bands; Emerson Lake and Palmer. For most of the decade, this dynamic trio pushed back the boundaries of what was possible in rock. Ambitious musical projects, massive, over the top stage shows and an insatiable desire to try bigger and better things meant that it could not last, but for several years, this was 70s rock at its very best.

It features performances from every stage of their career, including 44 minutes of ELP headlining the massive California Jam Festival in 1974 on Disc 2. This rare and spectacular footage has never been released before and captures the band at the peak of their powers with a production to match. Much sought after by fans, this film includes the famous spinning piano sequence.

With a host of extras, the DVD also contains the full-length version of Beyond The Beginning, an hour-long documentary, which tells the story of this remarkable band with a refreshing honesty and candor.
