Im surprised that we dont know more about this. I recall when they had the late Tony Ortiz as curator, they supposedly were looking for unreleased videos and the like for the Birth of a Band- documentary- but as I say this video- and thats to Yesjim for confirming where it was filmed- but its timecoded and multi- camera- this isnt a semi-pro shoot- maybe thats all there is- maybe the original has disappeared....like the supposed ELPowell MTV video... they were still in their prime- during these periods- I just think that the shows- from 92... werent as good and after that--- It woudl have been great to see them in their prime- I wonder if AI could clean up the Japan show??

Memphis TN 1977. One of the late Works Tour shows after they let the orchestra go. I've seen better footage but can't remember where, maybe an old VHS from a collector or swap meet?Leave a comment:

ELP Old Grey Whistle Test Works Era Video?
An video extract of ELP during the works tour is on youtube- What is quite special ist that is without the orchestra! This is clearly a professional shoot as it has multiple cameras and a timecode- I have a VHS of this being shown on the Old Grey Whistle Test on the BBC with Bob Harris- and its clearly during the Works tour- Its a great bit of history- Does anyone know anything about it-
It is clearly several generations but I would assume a master exists, or existed, somewhere? It would be great to have a pristine edit available of ELP close to. their prime!
