Set 3: "My Darling Nemesis…The Illuminati" - Rich Stadium in Buffalo, NY, on July 26, 1974. Another batch of cleaned-up bootlegs chronicles some of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's finest shows. This eight-CD box set includes four complete concerts, each taking up two discs. In all, the two-volume Original Bootleg Series is comprised of eight shows covering 15 discs. Listeners should expect a lo-fi experience. The set is priced accordingly, about 45 dollars per volume. To be fair, the sound quality is for the most part decent to good. The first show in this collection was recorded at Hammersmith Odean in London on November 26, 1972. Subtitled "A Right Cordial Shocker," it runs 100 minutes. ELP had returned triumphantly to their home turf after touring the world behind Trilogy.

For the first time in its history, a complete Beethoven sonata cycle was performed at the Salzburg Festival by none other than the world-renowned and influential Beethoven expert and pianist Rudolf Buchbinder. With more than 45 performances of the Beethoven sonata cycle in concert halls all over the world Buchbinder has set new standards in the interpretation of Beethovens works (Bayerischer Rundfunk). Buchbinders performance is that of a real master, effortlessly changing between lightning fast, technically challenging moments and tender lyrical passages. Where others can pride themselves in getting through without any accidents, Buchbinder is a poet, precise in every arpeggio, touching every keystroke (Kurier). This recording includes two concerts which feature sonatas 3, 6, 7, 16, 19, 24, 26, 28, and 29.
