College favorite of mine, but only got to see them once. Great festival lineup... Cactus, Edgar Winter, ELP, Humble Pie, J Geils, Faces with Rod Stewart, and the headliner, lol...Three Dog Night. Was supposed to have Badfinger and Black Sabbath, but I dont think they showed up. Pocono Raceway July 8 1972. ELP didnt come on till about 3 am, and as I recall one of the girls I was with had to leave after that, and I missed Humble Pie...something that happened to me several times. I was jinxed with that band!
For some reason Carl Palmer didnt remember where he was that night when I asked him 
. He's as good if not better than ever.
All those bands, excepting Three Dog Night (but, do remember, they WERE huge back then), Badfinger, Humble Pie, and Black Sabbath had all played the infamous Mar Y Sol festival in Puerto Rico during Easter. Not that I attended, I was just a little kid (sigh, just like Woodstock, just like Summer Jam in my home state, and California Jam I-I made it to Cal Jam II when a big boy 
).
ELP released their set, it had 20+minutes of "Tarkus" and much of Pictures At An Exhibition included, but a truncated "Take A Pebble" (that Greg Lake sings flat at the end of). And Carl solos 8+ minutes on "Rondo" to boot.
