A Time and a Place is a box set by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was released in 2010. The box set takes its name from the band's 1971 song "A Time and a Place".
The set brings together a select body of live performances captured before worldwide audiences during the band's career and tenure at the sharp end of the Progressive rock genre. It features high-quality soundboard recordings on the first three discs and audience recordings on the fourth.[1] The collection has been praised by fans and in album reviews for the quality of the soundboard recordings, as well as the vast diversity of tracks featured on the discs.[2] This collection is a part of a series of "official" bootleg releases by Shout!
