I gather one of those bootleg series boxes (never owned any of them myself) had a different mix from the Anaheim show this album drew from...including the Pictures encore, but apparently it cut off at the end. Ugh!
That Pictures encore is the only missing link of ELP as far as I'm concerned. (Well, not including the bizarre mess they've made of Works Live, which is a composite of 1977/8 tour recordings that somehow managed to leave off the highlight of this era, 'Pirates'!) Welcome Back... is a pretty definitive live album really, but I wish that encore had been on a CD.
