Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a live album by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was recorded at two concerts at the Royal Albert Hall during the Black Moon tour in early October 1992.

The shows were the band's first concert appearances in their native England since 1974.^[4] The concert was broadcast live on BBC Radio One, and the band was introduced on stage by DJ Alan "Fluff" Freeman,^[5] audible at the beginning of the first track.

Highlights of the album include a 9-minute version of "Tarkus," the song "Black Moon," and "Finale," which is a medley of "Fanfare for the Common Man," "America," and "Rondo."

Video Release

[edit]

A DVD version of the concert is also available. Originally released in 1996, it has a slightly different running order (Closer to the actual setlist for the tour)^[6] and contains three tracks not included on the CD ("From the Beginning", "Honky Tonk Train Blues" and "Pictures at an Exhibition"), but omits "Still...You Turn Me On" and "Black Moon". Some performances also differ from their CD counterparts, probably due to the use of material from the other concert.

The original DVD cover showed pictures of the band members, but the most recent reissue (from early 2009 by Shout! Factory, who has also reissued much of the band's CD catalog) was changed to match the CD cover.^[7]
