Inside Emerson, Lake & Palmer 1970-1995

2003 · ★ 6.0 · Documentary, Music

This is the definitive critical review of the music of Emerson, Lake and Palmer in concert, on record and on stage. During the seventies ELP were the biggest band in the world playing to colossal crowds and mounting ever more spectacular and flamboyant stage shows. When the band split in 1978 the legacy disappeared almost overnight. Featuring rare archive footage, every ELP studio album is reviewed and critically assessed by a leading team of critics, working musicians and musicologists to explore the secrets behind the phenomenal rise to success and the equally spectacular fall from grace of this legendary band.

Few men of history have as formidable or as mighty a reputation as Julius Caesar. He is not only one of the central figures of Roman history but a man who shaped the future of the world as we know it today. Rapid promotion from a humble civil servant to military leader put him in command of the powerful Roman Legions who completed the rout of Gaul and Britain. His success established him as great, but also as a bloodthirsty general. His political ambitions also earned him many enemies, especially in Rome, a city that would ultimately prove the location of his demise and assassination. This video features extensive expert analysis and comment, as well as exciting dramatic reconstructions and period imagery.
