Live in Poland is a live album by the progressive rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It features a performance in Katowice, Poland, during June 1997. The performance was originally released exclusively in Poland in 1997, with a different cover, by Polish music company Metal Mind Productions (the track list was the same as on the Austrian release, with piano solo as a separate track; "Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Part 2" was entitled "Welcome Back"). It would be released internationally for the first time at Austria in 2001, and for the rest of the world during April 2003.
The setlist features all-time classics of the band (The classic concert opening from "Karn Evil 9", "Knife-Edge", "Take a Pebble," "Lucky Man," and "Tarkus," the last one presented here in a medley with two sections from the Pictures at an Exhibition suite.), uncommon performances (A remake of the Emerson, Lake & Powell classic "Touch and Go," and "Bitches Crystal") and solos by all the three members of the band (Keith Emerson on track 6, on an 8-minute performance on Grand Piano, Greg Lake on "From the Beginning" and "Lucky Man," and Carl Palmer on a section of "Blue Rondo a la Turk"). The only track omitted from the show - due to time constraints - was "Tiger in a Spotlight", which preceded "Touch and Go"; the remainder of the concert is presented here in its entirety.
