it did seem a little weak, but you got to make note that this is old footage recorded with less advanced equipment. ELP was going out on a limb, new risky territory. They were really one instrument short. Emerson ? I can take him or leave him as far as taste... 50/50, he has his moments of brilliance, at other times I wonder what he was thinking about. I did read some reviews at those times where it was stated that he couldnt write a good song and it should be left up to Greg Lake, which I dont totally agree with but at times I can see where they were coming from.
