Continuing our releases from Oscar-winning director
Murray Lerner’s filming of the 1970 Isle Of Wight Festival,
we have Emerson Lake & Palmer’s The Birth Of A Band.
It was ELP’s first proper live concert, their only previous gig
having been a warm up in Plymouth the previous night.
Playing in front of 600,000 people, at what remains the biggest
festival in rock history, they became overnight stars with the press
raving about their virtuosity and daring. They would go on from
here to become multi-million selling artists, but this unique film
is there right at the beginning.
This DualDisc™ contains the full-length film from the festival on one side,
and the full companion audio recording on the other.
