I believe the studio version may be the one that's also available on the Return of the Manticore box set. Lee M 02:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Unless there is some proper reason, I plan on changing the third paragraph to reflect standards. Currently, it uses "Some people say ___ is ___" to reflect the authors' own opinions.

1Jun08: It would be interesting to know the background to the performance/recording. It seems unusual for an established rock band to play an entire performance based on never-before-heard pieces. At the album opening, you hear Greg Lake announcing "we're going to give you Pictures at an Exhibition" and the crowd cheers. This seems curious - why did they cheer, was this a well-known set which ELP played a number of times before this recording? Hard to believe the audience were so familiar with classical music that they immediately understood they were going to get a rendering of Mussorgsky. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.74.165 (talk) 16:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
