Summary: Waste of time and money
Comment: I should have listen to the other reviewers, but as a fan I thought I would give it a try. What a mistake. I am writing my first review ever just in case anybody is thinking about getting it. Do not waste your money, and trust other reviewers who felt the same.It gets no star from me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Craptacular.
Comment: Worst forty dollars I've ever spent. The other reviews say it all. I'm just gonna say that I was torn between this and Live at Montreaux (which also happened to be much more reasonably priced) but chose this because the back had a large songlist (implying you could actually LISTEN to the songs) with "Karn Evil Nine" and "Tarkus" included. I was assuming it had the pieces it named. Not so. It had a small snippet of footage of the beginning of the second part of the first impression of Karn Evil Nine in concert, which quickly cut to TALKING. (Which wouldn't have been a surprise if the package had been completely honest with me. But then, of course, how can they have sold this crapfest at the ridiculous price they do with complete honesty?) And as far as "Tarkus" goes, it only had a bit of live footage of the middle section in Mass, and Keith Emerson playing Eruption on the piano. (Which was actually pretty cool, but it's not what I paid for.)
Conlclusion: I wouldn't pay $10 for this documentary, and neitehr should you, now that you're informed, unlike I was.
Also, previously to this DVD, I'd never heard their new stuff before: It blows.
Customer Rating:
Summary: respect to the only source of excitement . ZERO stars
Comment: Our time will be remembered for its music, not its politicians. Who remembers which king ruled Austria during Mozart? The same must be said about producers of this DVD. Folks behind the scene decided to get on the wagon of history by cutting up some immortal music and mixing the pieces with some interviews with the musicians.
Joking is not appropriate here. You, the scissors-happy fools need to know that in the Ukrainian coal mines in the 1970-th and 1980-th my now dead brothers were yelling `oo a lucky man he was!" You owe some respect to the only source of excitement in the endless dark labyrinths. We, the Emerson, Lake and Palmer fans, formerly or presently oppressed, demand release of all row footage in fool, no cuts, no butchering! No picking and choosing, please! Hadn't we had enough of the censorship! Interviews belong at extra-bonus section.

Summary: Great ELP bio
Comment: What a bunch of whiners the other reviewers are. Most of the criticism is that this isn't a concert film - well, it was never advertised as such. This release is more like an episode of VH1 Behind the Music - a great bio of one of the greatest prog rock bands of all time. Lots of great archival footage, behind-the-scenes, etc. This is not a concert film as such, but if you dig ELP, and want to spend some quality time with the band, you'll be pleased.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Some people forget....
Comment: ....that a lot of DVD's out now are just straight reissues of product previously only available on VHS, hence no extras.
The critisism I've read for this release is unjust. Complaints of "they don't know how to make a DVD" are rediculous. This is the exact same material that was on the original VHS and it's about the same price as when I bought the VHS new. Some may complain that interviews interrupt the music constantly and I agree, that is annoying if it's supposed to be a concert film. However, this is a DOCUMENTARY! That's the way they are.
And it's not a bad documentary at all. There's cool old footage and new interviews with the band during the comeback "Black Moon" period. I do feel they could have gone a little bit more in depth and shown more old footage and presented more interviews but what is there is fine. Not outstanding, but entertaining enough for ELP fans.

Welcome Back is a musical biography outlining the birth and rebirth of a supergroup. In the first 10 years of their existence, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer produced six platinum and five gold albums. In 1991, the three musicians came together to work on a new album and this video follows the creative and sometimes difficult reunion of one of rock's foremost progressive bands. Welcome Back features live performances from their sellout 1992/93 Black Moon Tour, proving that after a 10-year break, none of the magic has been lost. Including vintage footage, interviews with the band and over 70 minutes of classic ELP, this is a collector's piece for all true fans. Songs: Romeo and Juliet, Karn Evil 9, Pictures at an Exhibition, Paper Blood, Honky Tonk Train Blues, Creole Dance, Tarkus, Closer to Home, Pirates, C'est La Vie, Tiger in the Spotlight, Watching Over You, Lucky Man, Changing States/ Hoedown, Black Moon, Drum Solo, Joplin Rag, Fanfare For the Common Man, Improvisation. 79 minutes.
