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.[2] 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.[3] This collection is a part of a series of "official" bootleg releases by Shout! Factory and producer David Skye,[4] with the blessing and participation of artists to provide fans with only the best performances, highest quality recordings, superior packaging and with original cover artwork designed by illustrator William Stout, internationally renowned as one of the first rock "n" roll bootleg cover artists. Other releases in the series include Iggy Pop's Roadkill Rising and Todd Rundgren's For Lack of Honest Work.
