Emerson, Lake and Palmer: Pictures at an Exhibition
Charles Shaar Murray, Cream, June 1972
ONCE again, rockanroll culture heroes hit the big screen, and, predictably enough, this weeks lucky winners are Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Like all other rock movies centred round one act, its a heaving drag to those not enamoured of that particular artist, and since ELP are not quite my favourite band, I didnt have a good time.
