"Dark Side of the Moon" last year. We celebrated by going to Jodrell Bank visitors centre. They played the album and screened some very spacy videos over it.
Remastered Albums are ok if they are of interest and there is something new.
Deep Purple have released some ok stuff.
 
Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends – Ladies and Gentlemen is the second live album by the English progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released as a triple album in August 1974 on Manticore Records. Released 50 years ago. It gives a taste of what a live performance sounded like.


Emerson, Lake & Palmer formed in 1970 and produced their best work from 1970 through 1974.

Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
