Description of complete listing:

<!-[if !supportLists]-> 1. <!-[endif]-> Ticket stub 1972: right hand portion of 26th November 1972 ticket for gig at Hammersmith Odeon (2nd performance). Dimensions: 6.5cm x 6cm approx. Condition: minimum excellent plus (+)

<!-[if !supportLists]-> 2. <!-[endif]-> Emerson, Lake & Palmer ‘in Concert’ programme: very early 12-page black and white programme! Undated but majored on the breakthrough Isle of Wight concert 1970, so estimated by me as late 1970 thru early 1971. Dimensions: 20.5cm x 25cm approx. Condition: minor age yellowing, minimal corner wear and minimal creasing and rubbing. Superb excellent condition!

<!-[if !supportLists]-> 3. <!-[endif]-> Ticket stub 1971: right hand portion of Viv 15th December 1971 ticket for gig at the London Pavilion (early 6:30pm show). The band played two sets per day and were resident at the Pavilion between 13th – 15th December that year. Dimensions: 4cm x 7cm approx. Condition: minimum excellent plus (+)

<!-[if !supportLists]-> 4. <!-[endif]-> Ticket stub 1971 (2): left hand portion of 13th December 1971 ticket for gig at the London Pavilion (later 9pm show). The band played two sets per day and were resident at the Pavilion between 13th – 15th December that year. Dimensions: 4cm x 7cm approx. Condition: minimum very good condition as part of ticket torn away.

<!-[if !supportLists]-> 5. <!-[endif]-> Emerson, Lake and Palmer ‘in Concert’ programme (2 ): this is a simply stunning A5 approx. sized programme. 28 pages in total with ‘rice’ style paper (opaque) integrated into brochure for what gives a feel of high quality. The brochure is fully signed and stunning selection of signatures, which if carefully removed and mounted would make a stunning framed set of autographs! The brochure is undated but advertises the ‘latest’ release of ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ which was released in November 1971, so I am certain that this was purchased and signed at one of the London Pavilion gigs. Dimensions: 13cm x 18cm approx. Condition: superb condition with minor age yellowing and minimal creasing in soft card outer cover. Minimum excellent condition for a stunning fifty-one-year-old programme!

The signatures are archival quality and have been protected by the rice paper, with all three signing boldly in fine blue biro-style pen. At least 9.5/10 in terms of quality you will not find a better set!
