ELP are my favourite band and I wish they had got Asia, Greg Lake Band, ELPowell, Ride the Tiger, Keith Emerson Band, soundtracks, etc. out of their system, so that they could reform after a break and work on the next Brain Salad Surgery. Sadly, Black Moon, In the Hot Seat and the final live album were not created with any conviction.
ELP's version of Pictures at an Exhibiton from The Royal Albert Hall, in 1992, is the best thing they ever did and it was never released (to my knowledge). It lead me to think that BSS 2 was still in them in the early nineties.
