Thanks for the "updated" film title, Bill.  Might have to seek it out.

The movie is available on DVD as "Pictures at an Exhibition Collectors Edition."
 
The disc is double sided with the movie on A and the soundtrack only on B.
 
From D2 Vision LTD/Favourite TV Inc.
 
Information from Amazon.com (where they state it is discontinued but several are available used for $12)
 
This version is what I saw in the theaters but the DVD seems to be missing parts of the performance. Worth it for ELP fans to get a very early look at the band.

Anything like this?

I had a fretted one and it didn't sound very good; no top or bottom end. Used it on our first album. Wish I'd used my EB-3 instead.
