----Spectacular----.......2007-05-31

This product should be seen by all people that really love both music as true art and great musicians. The grade of virtuosity displayed by these three musicians here is "Absolute Gold Standard". I have always loved the first album called simply "Emerson, Lake and Palmer" and mainly two songs one of them is "The Barbarian" and the other one is "Take a pebble". The performance of "The barbarian" in this DVD is superb, very energetic, curiously this song is the first one in the first album and is the mathematical demonstration of the total virtuosity of this group as if they wanted to show since the first time that they weren't here to fool people, as if they wanted to address the following message to the world, "we are serious musicians and we love to play musical instruments". The other performances here are of the same level of quality and the drum solo played by Carl Palmer here is one of the most different ones I have ever seen and listened in my life, his ability and rhythm control capacity are only equalled by Neil Peart from Rush. One thing that jumps to ones eyes is how easy they play such a complex pieces of music and how they were happy those days in playing together. Simply Buy this DVD, play it and enjoy it, you are going to watch real musician's performances and listening to great music.

Has anyone compared this to Live Broadcasts DVD?.......2006-07-09

As for this "Masters from the Vaults" DVD, I have nothing to add to Mr. M. A Maupin's excellent review posted in 2004.

But, in 2006, Classic Rock Legends started to release a new series titled "Live Broadcasts: Collector's Rarities".
Among them there's an ELP DVD, which has the very same set list as this one.
I guess they are the same concert but "Live Broadcasts" has DTS audio track.

If anyone can clarify if they are the same concert, and how different DTS sounds, I'd appreciate. I'm waiting for customer review on that one.

And for those who hasn't got "Masters from the Vaults" yet, "Live Broadcasts" my be a better choise.

Great Concert, Terrible Print.......2006-02-22

Take a look at the product artwork on the cover - they've even packaged this in a color that will detract attention from the RED wash that is evident in the still pics & that permeates this footage with virtually all other colors missing.
I think this might've even been better in B&W. They've remastered the the sound, but done nothing with the depessing dark RED picture. Over-priced too.

ELP lovers... wait & BEWARE!.......2005-09-24

ELP is MY group... yet, the production itself just makes me cringe. As a matter of fact, I sold it after watching it. Here's the deal- there is a whole lot of footage that was done back in the 'acid-days', when the film makers were tripping, and figured everyone watching was gonna be tripping, too. It's NOT the subjects that is that's the problem (it's the messenger). The producers of the DVD don't even have it together enough to spell-check the cover-art for the DVD case... they keep referencing 'Mike'... what they mean is 'mic', as in microphone. (dufus) Well... in this case, it IS a pretty good clue as to what to expect.

Save your money. Instead, DO buy ELP "Beyond the Beginning". It has many of the same cuts, concerts, etc., but not nearly as many of the ones that would make you cringe as an ELP fan. Plus, 'BTB' has stuff like The California Jam, complete with the 'flying piano' footage. That particular concert is special for me because exactly one week to the day before, I saw ELP in Memphis, where I sat '4th row center'. Actually, the Memphis show was better than the C-Jam... (I have it on cassette).

Back to this DVD.... I am a modular synth player, and was quite disappointed that because of the stupid 'acid-crazed' hokey production... you can't really even see any good close-ups of the equipment. I wonder why the credits don't give full names... almost as if they were too embarrassed.

Rock and Roll Your Eyes.......2005-09-07

Rock and Roll Your Eyes was the title of the ONLY ELP concert video (way back when you went to see these concerts in the movie theater before there were VCR's) That film consisted of what is now the DVD Pictures at An Exhibition and this group of "missing" songs. For years I wondered whatever happened to the rest of the film I saw in my youth. Authorized or no, I welcome it's return.
