Prog Album of the Week - Week 89 (07/08/2015): Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends

As always, we encourage participation from everyone - if you've never heard the album, there's a YouTube link provided! Go check it out and report back!

Welcome to the eighty-ninth week of r/progrockmusic's Album of the Week! Last week we discussed Yes' Relayer and that was lovely.

If you'd like to peruse previous weeks' discussions, please visit the archive.

We don't cover enough live records, let alone live double albums. (Or triple albums, seeing as the title spans the entire first side...)
