Might depend on how much exposure we should have. We might not have gotten some of your obscure shows in the US but I think we got some of your more popular shows here too. We Yanks would just have to try a little harder in placing music or scenes.]]> lifeonmarsfan What's That Music?

And then K on to one of the high-lights of my youth ... Emerson Lake and Palmer at the London Coliseum playing Mussorgsky. It was just before the theatre closed (70'ies) and a superb experience. Never seen the like of it. Palmer (erm, was Palmer the organist, not sure) riding that organ as if into the jaws of hell: music, atmosphere, electric! But I didn't know the piece you linked. Thanks.

Ironeyes, I owe ya.
