No está Abbadon's Bolero. Es solo The Enemy Gods de Palmer. De la gira orquestal Works con músicos sinfónicos que ellos mismos llamaron a audición y escogieron ... ELP realmente interactuaba con la sinfónica que tenían. No era tan solo acompañamiento o de fondo para embellecer. Los 3 se entendían en un plano formal, pues tenían conocimientos de música sinfónica o de europea, norteamericana y rusa orquestal. Lake era el menos formalmente preparado pero tenía una enorme intuición y técnica para guitarra y bajo, entonces sorprendió a los músicos sinfónicos, que esperaban sea la pata del trípode menos sólida para ese proyecto. Lake podía captar y tocar en limpio (además de cantar) hasta lo más difícil de manera sorprendentemente rápida. Casi al instante. Eso ya es una facultad con la que se nace, desde luego que se pule y se trabaja, pero eso ya es otra cosa que no es para nada común
En una entrevista a Palmer le dijeron: seguro te habría gustado más que el trío sea nombrado como Emerson, Palmer y Lake... Jajajaja y respondió: "jajaaaa, en realidad no, eso tuvo una razón de ser: orden alfabético y por edad del mayor al menor de los tres. Además yo fui el último en juntarme con Keith y Greg. También se escucha mejor Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Pero me has hecho reír un poco, gracias, con tu ocurrencia"...
Wow.... that was intense !!! I would have loved to catch that gig in person, must have been truly quite a performance to take in live. I was just thinking the other day, as a long time ELP fan since the late 1970s.... this - the Works I and Works II Live tours - in retrospect, both of those albums were a logical move for ELP considering their past catalog of recorded works and gigs, this truly made the most sense - too bad the orchestra had to be let go after only a few shows, as I feel that would have been the only way to properly perform the material on both of the Works albums live...... Funny, I never thought I'd be saying this - but Love Beach made sense too, as a sequel to the Works albums, but I just wish it was called something else, other than Love Beach.... I wonder if it were called Works III or some other name, with a better cover scheme - if it would have sold better, because the material on that album was quite good actually. Once thing the original line of of ELP will always be remember for is ever album release built upon what was previously released. I know back in the day the critics were pretty harsh with Works I, II, and Love Beach - but today - over 40 years later and I find those 3 albums more interesting now than I did back then. I'll have to see about finding the ELP Live Works double CD, along with the DVD of the concert with the orchestra - which perhaps is where this number was lifted from.... Thanks for posting, and I'm glad its The Enemy God more or less complete, because I read the title caption and looked at the total time, and I said to my self, oh no... I hope this is not edited...
George Waters Saw this in Chicago Soldier Field in ‘77. They came on with Bolero timed with the sun going down over the lake. The most amazing concert ever and I have seen tons. Honestly were better than Floyd, who were there 2 weeks later. The orchestra added so much, felt like the whole place was shaking when they were rocking out.
This is only The Enemy God. Abaddon's Bolero makes no appearance in this video. With that being said, if you have footage of Abaddon's Bolero being performed here, I'd love to see it, as the only footage I've ever been able to find is the last minute or so of it, which appears during the opening title to the film of this concert. And I don't care for the mix that was put on the album since you can barely hear the orchestra.

The trio version- Emo & Lake replacing the orchestra- is far preferable.
Agreed. Listen to it in the Memphis date recording. Also that same take goes in LP In Concert released 1979
I love the big fat beautiful woman playing at 2:19...
Do you?
Cello titfuck
very creepy
