Not just the music but the imagery, very 1970 ! Whilst Genesis were my favourite, ELP and Van Der Graaf Generator were not close behind. I've seen Genesis 11 times since 1980, I never thought i would see the other two bands...and then in 2005 at the Royal Festival Hall saw the reunion of VDGG....and now five years later this Sunday finally i get to see the mighty ELP.
