A Time And A Place is a box set featuring live performances by Emerson, Lake & Palmer captured before worldwide audiences during the band's career and tenure at the sharp end of the Progressive rock genre. It features high-quality soundboard recordings on the first three discs and audience recordings on the fourth.[1] The collection has been praised by fans and in album reviews for the quality of the soundboard recordings, as well as the vast diversity of tracks featured on the discs.[2] This collection is a part of a series of “official” bootleg releases by Shout! Factory and Producer David Skye,[3] with the blessing and participation of artists to provide fans with high-quality recordings, superior packaging and with original cover artwork designed by illustrator William Stout, internationally renowned as one of the first rock “n” roll bootleg cover artists. Other releases in the series include Iggy Pop’s Roadkill Rising and Todd Rundgren’s For Lack Of Honest Work.
A Time and A Place is a 4-CD live set that features performances dateing back to the trio’s August 29, 1970 debut appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival and a 1998 performance of "A Time and a Place." Discs 1 through 3 represent never previously released and remastered live performances lifted directly from the soundboard and disc 4, titled "This Boot’s For You – A Fan’s View", is a collection of bootleg performances culled from audience tapes. The sound here is quite impressive for a live recording. As the liner notes indicate, three of the four CDs were lifted from the soundboard and were remastered.
On the first CD, "The Early ‘70s," there is a very early 1970 recording of Greg Lake’s 12-minute “Take a Pebble” from the Beat Club in Bremen, Germany. Later on in the CD, Greg Lake performs “Still…You Turn Me On” and “Lucky Man” as solo pieces. The next CD is from the late 1970s, featuring ELP concert staples such as "Pirates" and their cover of "Maple Leaf Rag." Disc three is from their reunion tour in 1993, and contains songs from their (at the time) recent album Black Moon, as well as a medley of "Fanfare for the Common Man" by Aaron Copeland, "America" by Simon & Garfunkel and "Rondo" by Emerson's pervious band, The Nice. The final disc, "This Boot’s For You – A Fan’s View," is composed of miscellaneous bootleg recordings.
